A Monday night in Milwaukee. Burgers with Brothers. I'm liking this burger outing thing.
This time, we celebrate my day. Dasburgereater turns one year older.
I've been wanting to get to the MKE Burger Co since they opened a couple of years ago. So, when it came my time to choose the joint, I went for it.
I chose the Bacon Bleu. Applewood smoked bacon, Pabst onions, sour cream and bleu cheese on top of the burger.
I was ready for this.
It arrived in all of it's glory. Well, not too glorious. It look nice and neat.
I cut it in half. Sauce oozed. First bite. I thought there was bleu cheese involved. Well, maybe the second bite. Nope. I could taste the sour cream plenty. The bacon was a bit too crispy for my liking.
Right, whining again. I can't just agree and say all is well in burger town.
Still, a decent burger overall. Maybe on a different day, it would scream bleu cheese.
The scene was a bit too sport bar with booths. We didn't sit on the patio. That might have been a bit noisy. The highway is just above the restaurant. Another distraction may have been the Home Depot blocking the view to the West.
In a different location, this might be a place to return to, just to test the theory about the cheese.
All the food was tasty. They may have been a bit scarce on the seasoning.
Our appetizer, Portobello Fries, was a decent portion. Again, seasoning was scarce.

Price, taste, scene were all at least about average. Location was a drawback.

Jake's Burger-Brookfield WI
I should really post in a more timely manor.

Burgers with Brothers again. This time celebrating my brother Robb's day.
He called Jakes Burger in Brookfield. I still haven't figured out if it is related to the classic restaurant just over the hill from the burger spot.
No matter, I should stay on task.
Sticking with trying to get a "solid" taste for a place, I took the Classic. I didn't want to upset the cart by having a specialty sauce on the side. Just give me cheese, meat and a couple of vegetables. Right?
The restaurant was pretty cool/cozy. It is part of a strip of stores so, there was a chance it could be like a Starbuck's or something. I think the people did a nice job with the layout and interior.
I suppose I should cover the burger now.
From memory, it was really good. No fear of putting some seasoning on it. As for the medium rare, just a bit more rare than I prefer but, it didn't mess with me too much.
The brothers enjoyed their selections also.

Price was average for modern dining out. Burgers. Clean and cool scene. If I drank beer, I think this place would have made me happy. Like other burger restaurants these days, they also have "spiked" shakes! That could be fun!

I Got the Point. Point Burger Bar MKE/Pewaukee
Hey, I'm not sure if I've ever done a "double" review/post. I guess there's always a first time.
Time passes so quickly when Summer arrives in my part of the world. (WI)
Some time back, my two brothers and I decided to we would do something called "Burgers with Brothers"
It guarantees that we will at least get together three times a year, once for each birthday, as brothers to eat and talk. One in March, July and November. Burgers had to be the choice of food. We all love trying out new places and versions of the burger.
Point Burger Bar in Milwaukee, located at highway 45 and Good Hope Road was our first outing as the group.
My first choice was The Point Burger. Prime Angus, Sarvecchio Montamore Cheese, Nueske’s Bacon, Truffle Mayo, Brioche Bun.
I didn't end up getting it because the chef won't allow a "specialty" burger to go out with the Truffle Mayo on the side. I would need to Build My Own. Really?
So, I went with the Classic. Prime Angus, American Cheese, Lettuce, Onion, Tomato, Pickle Chips, Kaiser Bun.
I'm a Medium Rare kinda guy. Just a little pink. No pink in this one. Still, it wasn't a dry piece of meat. Pretty decent overall.
I was still a bit put off by the chef's request.

Fast forward to just last Sunday.
It's my great nephew's birthday. They choose Point Burger Bar, Pewaukee. Partially because there is an indoor go-cart track in the same building and a full blown game room!
I went with the Au Poivre. Prime Angus, Blue Cheese, Cracked Black Pepper, Green Peppercorn Mayo, Onion Bun
Again, a little to well done for my taste. The fries were greasier than I recall from the previous visit in Spring.
I'm not going to tell a person not to go to Point Burger Bar because I think they do a decent burger. I guess I'm not a fan of the BYO, Sports Bar, large venue.
I'm being nice because I think I'm letting my feelings skew things.

Average price for modern dining out, especially burgers. The food is good. Most all the people enjoyed what they ordered. Onion string appetizer was huge. Very accommodating for the party group.
