Review Twisted Fisherman Crab Shack - Milwaukee

Dr. Shontina Gladney (Eat.Play.Grind.)
The best crab legs that I have had in a while! The staff was so full of life and great energy. The blackened shrimp tacos were spicy, just the way I love them! The calamari, ohhh my. my. We have to come back soon to enjoy the cabanas and outdoor atmosphere.

An perfect spot in the river for fish n chips! Put your toes in the sand and enjoy the awesome atmosphere of this cute fisherman’s restaurant. Fish fry Friday was fabulous! The portions were very generous. Our server was a little forgetful on a few things but very friendly.

A delightful spot for fantastic seafood and tasty cocktails, especially in the summertime when outdoor dining is an option. On a recent visit we had the mussels and a blackened tilapia sandwich. Superb! The rum glazed carrots are a delicious side option. Friendly and attentive service, too. A favorite stop in the Menomonee Valley area.

If you are looking for a great little spot to get some great tiki drinks, really good food and exceptional service stop here. We were cruising in the boat on the river and stopped for some food and drinks. Our waitress Greta was a rock star. She was so amazing and so helpful. We enjoyed some great drinks and had some appetizers. This place is just a fun place to hang out, lots of outdoor seating with a cool vibe in the Resturant around the bar. If you are looking for a great spot off the beaten path give this place a try. You won’t be disappointed.

Very fun beach themed restaurant bar on the river. Had a group event there and were very accomidating. Lots of fun things for kids to do as well, corn hole in the back. Food was great. Got a tilipia sandwivh and crab cakes. Son had a cheese burger. Even the cheese curd app was great. Did have to go to the bar a few times to top off my soda. Plan to be back in the summer when the bar is hopping.

The river view is beautiful. The sand has a beachy feel all summer! Private cabanas and live reggae bands make the ambience tropical. The cocktails are delicious! Can't have just one!!! Definitely worth visiting.

We were celebrating our anniversary ❤️. We had a wonderful server. The view of the sun set was delightful. A great place to eat outside. The appetizers, drinks, and main menu items are great!

Staff was friendly, a bit of a chill family vibe going, and very patient since we needed extra time to choose. The food was delicious and you get great bang for your buck! I got the tacos, those things were loaded up and bursting with flavor. I had crab cakes for an appetizer and I have no clue how they kept those patties together to get on the plate because they were so tender. This is also maybe the second place I have had crab cakes without a single shell piece sneaking into it. My s/o had the surf n' turf. The ribs sauce was awesome, sort of reminded me of a little of sweet baby Ray's, but also the meat had that nice amount of crust and just fell of the bone so you know it was cooked right. The crab legs were pretty big and were some of the freshest tasting ones I've had, they didn't have any fishy taste whatsoever. I wouldn't expect that in WI! I'd give this 5 stars but the parking was a little confusing, park on the east side of the building and follow the signs to the inside. Plus I have only been once so I cannot speak for consistency.

Customer service started off rocky and not good at all to the point I got upset, I got over it and was compensated, and I enjoyed my meal, which was delicious. I will be back. Hopefully, I just don't go through what I went through before. Food and drinks were great, its other dishes on the menu I would like to try.

Really fun summer place on the canal! All tables seem to be picnic tables so kind of hard for older folks…but a large deck, sand volleyball and a shipping container with 3 sitting areas (cabanas of sorts) to reserve. Food was good! Heavy Blackened chicken breast with pineapple pico de gallo was surprisingly good…but the shrimp tacos were excellent. Rum soaked carrots!!! Great server!!!! Would try again during winter for a pick me up summer vibe!!

Hidden gem of Milwaukee right on the water! Rent a cabana for the day, play corn hole or table tennis or rent a kayak. Lots of outdoor seating - little warm to sit inside on a hot day.

The fish fry is always a favorite, but only served on Fridays. The seafood pasta was fantastic. The outside patio is not accessible for wheelchairs/scooters but we were seated right away in the restaurant. The sun blazes in the afternoon so you may want to sit away from the west wall if inside.

First time here: I was not disappointed. There is a Caribbean atmosphere both inside and out. Although it wasn't busy when I was there, I could see this as a good party place. The food was better than I had hoped for. I got blackened tilapia and my husband got the Friday fish fry. Both tasted very good and the servings were generous. It's a very relaxed place, with reggae music playing. I did a to-go order, so I didn't experience everything, but I definitely want to come back and try out the chairs outside by the river. The bartender who took care of me was friendly, welcoming, and fit the ambiance perfectly.

Fabulous. All of it. The drinks were made with the proper amount of alcohol. The waiter was all by himself serving the entire restaurant and what an amazing job he did. He was still very attentive and friendly and took time to explain and answer our questions. The Friday fish fry is fresh and hot. The fried cheese curd was the best we have tried. Excellent food, great quality, a fun ambiance.

My wife and I have had dinner/ lunch a good half dozen times. A nice casual place with pretty good food. Today....the waitress was " completely disconnected" We ordered an appetizer and a few drinks. By time the appetizer came we were ready for another drink, we set our glasses on the side, the waitress served the new drinks with our appetizer. She didn't remove our empty glasses. Then we finished our appetizer, set this on the side along with used napkins, plates, silverware. The waitress served our meal, we added more dishes to be removed. I asked the waitress if she could please remove the used items... she picked the stuff up and said..." this isn't my job!" I wanted to say "it ain't mine either!"

We went for a late dinner before watching King Solomon play. We sat outside and it was a nice atmosphere at the umbrella tables by the water. The drinks were very good. We had the crab cakes for an appetizer. I had never had them before. They tasted great! In my group we had grilled chicken sandwich, shrimp tacos, and salmon. It all had good flavor and tasted fresh. We will be back.

Stopped there unexpectedly and decided to have lunch. Sat outside at a picnic table by the river edge and watched a bunch of kids trying to row boat to the dock (school field trip) for lunch. My friend ordered the grilled chicken sandwich which she said was really good and I ordered a cheeseburger and that was really good as well. We enjoyed our server, the weather was awesome and our time relaxing along the river watching the kids was sooo enjoyable.

Alright at best. The food had good flavor but salads lacked content, not volume, content. I also wasn't thrilled where I could sit as a party of two. I just had a hip replacement 21/2 weeks earlier and wasn't in great shape. I originally asked for indoor seating but changed my mind before actually sitting down. My choices of tables on their deck, which is very nice, were in the direct sun or soon to be in the direct sun. There were plenty of shaded sheeting in tables with good shade. I was told they were for larger parties. We were there around 5:30 and out before those tables were full. I just felt we should have had better options.

Joshua Vinson

Only reason i went here was because Joe's crab shack in Gurnee is now closed for good. Drinks didn't have alcohol in it. The food was nasty. Flies and nats flyn around. I was waving them away that i had to cover my drink. Peel n eat shrimp was terrible. Im useto having it soaking in Cajun seasoning (like a real sea food shack) shrimp hand veins still in them. I will not be back. And mu food had a smell! Yuck
