(Update 10/22. This location has now been closed)
I'm always keeping my eyes and ears open looking for my new favorite burger place. A couple years back, Dairyland Burgers opened a brick and mortar location on the South side of Milwaukee. The opened a second location in downtown Milwaukee. It was a food truck. By the time I was able to head over for a burger the pandemic was in full swing. Neither location had regular hours. They changed every week. Fast forward to this year, July. My turn to call the burger joint for "Burgers with Brothers". At this point, Dairyland has closed both locations. Dairyland is now "embedded" inside of local brewery and part of a Food Hall. I chose the brewery location for convenience of parking.
The experience was far from dreamy. There are a few tables near a doorway with the Dairyland logo above it. The tables have a QR to scan that then takes you through the ordering process. So, we ordered our food. Clicked the place order. We hoped it went through. A text came through assuring us that it would be nearly 30 minutes before it would be ready. For burgers?
I had the Bacon Cheeseburger. My brothers had "The Wiz" and "Big Man on Campus".
The order was ready. We had to retrieve it from the counter outside the area where they make the food. So far, no real interaction with the staff. We guessed there were people in the back because the food appeared at the counter.
The food was fine. Frozen patties, grill top. Buns were fine, not exceptional.
Rate it: 3.5 of 5
Lucky for them the burgers were at least decent. Pricing was okay. Not interacting with the staff was just weird. The location inside the brewery took away any personality that may have been present at the brick and mortar. I have to say, I'm a little bummed. Should have done it as take out.
