Reviews of Ma Fischer's
Matilda Ansah
This place is such a treasure!! My omelette was cooked to my specification and the Belgian waffles were heavenly! Good portions are commensurate with the price of the food. And the staff was very friendly and patient. Would highly recommend !
Gabriel V
Very good! Visiting Milwaukee from Houston for the week. Ma's came up as a good breakfast spot. Was not disappointed! Had the 2nd breakfast special with French toast, eggs and bacon. All very good! Staff was friendly. Place clean. No complaints! Would definitely recommend!
Phillip Calvert (IG: Philwaukee)
This was the first time I've ever eaten "ma fishers" breakfast at traditional breakfast hours. Normally I eat at this place right after a night out on the town. All in all the breakfast was very tasty.
Sam W
Great place to go with a group who can't decide what cuisine they want, because there's a big selection here. I've been with groups at different times when people have gotten gyros, burgers, pasta, and breakfast all at once. Always good food and filling portions. Most recently we had great service from a nice young man in a bowl hat, and the hostess was friendly, too. The atmosphere is simple, understated diner; nothing special but nice and clean.
Janice Garcia
We drove from NY for the football game and wanted some diner food. NY’ers love diners!! This was by far one of our BEST experiences. We came at a perfect time. Sat right down and were welcomed right away. Our coffee cups were never empty, the food was made to perfection and so quick!! The French toast and biscuits with gravy were oh so amazing!!! Friendly waitress and attentive coffee runners. Next time we visit we will definitely be returning.
Andrea Luna
My boyfriend and I came by to eat dinner last night. We were greeted nicely and checked on regularly which was great by the way. Our drinks were good too. But honestly the food didn't meet much of our expectations it tasted like frozen or reheated food. Not to mention my boyfriend asked what kind of meat the liver was and the waitress just said "it's just liver". We didn't eat much of our food and left. I've been to other diners around Milwaukee who can out do their food. Great service but questionable menu.
Michael Amen
Very good food place, great prices, excellent service. Always a good choice regardless of age.
Sarah “Saski” G
I hadn't had proper diner food in almost a decade, so when I moved back to Milwaukee, I had to come to Ma's — this place hits the spot every time. No other ma'n pop place comes close to the breadth of the menu or the comfort of its stick-to-the-ribs biscuits and gravy. And the pie! I rarely get a slice, if I'm honest, but just knowing the pie case is there for me to peruse is more than enough home for one returning expat.
Sean Deardorff
This is about as good as it gets. Five stars all around even when they're at max capacity. Great team. Great food. Reasonable prices. My new Sunday morning breakfast routine.
Britt Saunders
Love the authentic diner feel! Great service, food was good but not amazing - poached egg yolkes were solid, not runny, and grits were bland. Excellent strong coffee though!
Nick Rutkowski
The place is a diner. Unfortunately they're no longer a 24/7 operation. The food is lackluster at best but you keep going back. It's overpriced. You can get an amazing burger for the exact same price at a few places on Brady street. Their fries are sus. I'm banking on frozen. The soups are good but way salty and certainly don't remind me of anything made from scratch. The appetizers remind you of warmed up Costco frozen section snacks with caviar price tags. Im surprised they do well with all the other options out there, but diners seem to do well in Milwaukee.
Don Deutschmann
Great food as always! We stopped for lunch
My wife had the steak & peppers wrap I had the Monte Cristo which is my favorite sandwich to get at any Greek restaurant. However the one made at Ma Fischers was absolutely delicious! We also had chicken dumpling soup which was awesome.
Austin Mendoza
Amazing food, even better atmosphere. The wait staff is attentive but not bothersome, the food came out quickly but not just to rush you out, and it was a very clean environment from what I could tell. Will be coming back in the future
Eric Halfen
The coffee wasn't hot. It took 15 minutes for a new cup. No one came by for refills. Service was slow. Food was fast and alot! Soup was warm, not hot, but the dumplings were great. Visited 2 days in a row at different times, lunch and dinner. There was no energy in the place and the front end was just standing around both times. Used to love this place. Not sure what happened to it.
Myrddin Emrys
Ma Fischer's is one of those restaurants that is hard to find fault with. They've been in business for years and have filed off all the rough edges. All the food is somewhere between great and 'good enough'; their service is exemplary: fast, friendly, and accurate.
George Zakharia
Came from Chicago, IL and tried this place with little expectations, but they really knocked it out of the park for a big breakfast for 2 for about $33 plus tip which included 2 entres, 2 coffees, and 2 biscuits on the side. I made my own sandwich with a biscuit and I'm still drooling over it. We were greeted, seated, and treated quickly to an awesome experience. They clean up the place well and promptly, bathrooms are tidy, waitresses friendly and helpful, food came out within 15 min, and our coffee and waters were always topped off by the staff. I highly recommend this place! We will definitely return.
Maryam Sepid
This is a cool place for brunch. They are so popular not only for th 24-hrs service, but also for their delicious breakfast. We like the omelette, the French toast, the waffles and chicken and their special Ma's breakfast.
Their price is reasonable and the portion is big enough ( or a little bit more than enough) for a yummy brunch!
My review about dining out in this place is a different experience. We came for dinner, and ordered an Enchiladas. The tomatoes were rotten and smells disgusting. The bean was old and tasted bad. We told the staff about it, but they only said the will check that out and actually didn't do anything. It was so disappointing. Our friends were happy with their meat loaf though.
Cyndi Kramer
Old school diner in the best way. The chicken dumpling soup is perfect and I found a tuna sandwich that was not all tweaked and finessed and made into something other than comfort food. My server was friendly and just right for checking on me. The atmosphere is definitely diner and if that's what you've been missing....welcome home!
Michelle Pokrzywinski
Not bad!! Food was good and came out pretty quick!! Not the most friendliest waitress but she did a good job bringing refills and asking if we needed anything. Would come back again!
Deborous Patterson jr
As you can see I got a lot of great food at reasonable prices. I started with chicken noodle soup with thick pieces of both chicken and noodles in a lightly salted broth and huge oyster crackers that slightly softened in the hot soup. That was just the starter. Then came the main attraction-the Chicken Alfredo. I got fresh off the kernel corn. Yum! I love Ma Fischer. It is a true East side staple. They were also very accommodating to this Disabled Dinner. Go and have fun there.
Jacob Gatlin
I'll let the picture speak folks. The customer service was great as always and the food well you see it. Enjoy
Jure Long
My husband and I went here for lunch. We had the cheeseburger with chicken soup and fries. It was so delicious! The chocolate milkshake was so good!! Our waitress was very nice and all the other staff are very attentive.
Heather Deutsch
First time here and probably would not return. Typical diner food nothing special. Had the Ma’s special which consisted of French toast, 2 eggs and bacon, ham or sausage. Server did his job, nothing more nothing less. He was adequate I guess. There are so many diners in the area and this one wouldn’t stand out in my mind at all.
Claudia O
This is a really a nice place for home style meals. The staff is always attentive, pleasant and professional . Ma Fischer is a staple in the Milwaukee area!
Laura Nelson
A must stop. Haven't ever had a bad experience here. Breakfast, lunchtime, dinner, always great been dropping in for over 10 years every visit to Milwaukee.
Vidhya Basak
It is nice breakfast place. They are a variety of dishes. I loved their french toast and egg’s Benedict. They also have amazing southern chicken and waffles. Nice dinner ambience.
Lane Palmer
I would die for this place, I cannot describe my experience with words. Do yourself a favor if you haven't visited this Milwaukee staple and go today. You will not regret it. Order anything on the menu, it's good. :)
Kathleen Tolbert
Lots of food and good staff. I got the build your own omelette and it was really good.
Ashley Hartfield
This is a very reasonable priced diner. Family friendly for all ages. Great tasting food but service isn't all that great. The servers aren't very friendly .
Lisa Clark
Great food. The server was kind enough to give me a to go box right away because I knew I couldn't finish the food. The food was delicious.
holiday
loved talking to the waiters n waitresses here, the food was very good for the price as well and always consistent, has become my go to place when im not at work : )
Clarissa Ruiz
Amazing service and very delicious food. 10/10 will come here again.
Tess Halpern
Service was good food was okay. The food was cooked very well but some stuff was off/weird. The hollandaise sauce was weird like it was diluted with something, and the grits were okay, a bit watery. Also the coffee tasted like dirty water, was very weird. The chicken and waffles were great. The skillet was good, eggs were cooked well. Would ask for less cheese next time because it’s covered in cheese.
Edit:
Have been here quite a few times now and the food has been really consistently good. Just didn’t like what I ordered the first time. That being said I can only speak to breakfast stuff. Omelettes are always amazing. Haven’t had the hollandaise sauce again.
Erica Smith
Good food to get a full belly but the drinks could be better, tasted like water down drinks but other than that the food and desserts are so good
Alexandra “Alex” Ruiz
This place is open 24-7 and has a pretty big menu. Mixed crowd and very busy! The cooks were amazing, they were busting out orders quick! Prices were ok not extremely pricey. #letsguide
Pilot Lee
Great shakes and burgers, best for a late night hang out
I love Ma's. I've spent many late nights here with friends, and not just because it's open later than anywhere else.
The menu is super large and not all of them are fantastic, but if you find what's good, you'll always leave happy. I love their burgers and shakes. Their breakfast also gets good reviews
David Paredes
This place made me like Bloody Marys and I'm a brunch bartender. The Benedict's or Biscuits & Gravy are a must order.
The Disabled Diner
No matter how bad my day is Ma Fischer's bring out the smile in me. I was having a bad day because of the way I feel. I have been to the doctor but still don't know what's wrong but I never give up. So I went to treat myself with Ma Fischer's and just look at it. Absolute perfection. I enjoyed everything including the patio made for me. Of course I had a great time. So will you day or night. Love you Ma!!!
Emily
Classic Milwaukee diner that never disappoints. French toast is the best I’ve ever had!
Tim Weidner
Nice place, food is better than average, with generous portions. Prices a bit aggressive but hard to judge in this economy.
Felicia Erickson
The very best place to eat down in Milwaukee. They have such a friendly team and so welcoming. The food is great and large servings. They were our first choice to eat for dinner on our first date.
M Mmm
Amazing food,The staff shirts were funny,The staff were very friendly, would recommend too anyone.
Kim Page
I had not been here in a very long time. One of my favorite meals here is the Liver and onions and it did not disappoint! Just as good as I remembered. Thanks Ma Fischer's😋 …
Andrew J. S.
Service today (9/5) was 👌🏾👌🏾
(Everything was cool til the yellowjackets forced everyone indoors...I'm (me, personally) aware that it's "their season" right now, but management should take extensive measures to set out more than a few "traps". Like six or seven yellowjackets cleared yall ENTIRE Saturday brunch patio 😂
Do better next time and leave BAIT (as in FOOD) so they'll ACTUALLY leave your patrons in peace.
Thank you!!!
Tim Phelps
It's got a ton of really tasty dishes that are great if you're looking for a diner vibe. Friendly service. Prices are great, too, which can be rare in Milwaukee.
Stephen Miller
Ma Fischer's has been around for decades. Favorite place for a hearty breakfast after a hard night. I have always enjoyed my meals here. Prodigious servings, you will get full. I've never had a problem with the people who work there. They are friendly and efficient. Ignored the entitled, this is a great place to get a meal. It is in an interesting part of Milwaukee. When you get done eating, check out the neighborhood.
Scott Siewert
We have been there three different times. The food is OK but average.
Tasha Eskridge
Never disappoints for whenever I want a good diner meal. Inexpensive, fast service, and good food
Jhonette Balingit
Extremely fast service and very efficent staff. It looks busy when we came in, but the staff was able to manage and seat us right away! Our food came out in about seven minutes and it tasted heavenly. Definitely coming back!
Michael Cerda
There is nothing truly special about this place but I think that's what gives it the appeal it has. It looks like a classic old school diner but it waited by young workers which was a surprise to me. The food isn't anything special, it's diner food, I had the hangover skillet, it's cooked well and has alot of food in it. It's right for the price and the area. Feels like a great place to just eat if you need a bite. Check it out, it's close to some other great places to check out!
Michael Murphy III
I wouldn't call it a diner. It's more on the side of the restaurant.. lots of choices. I chose the meat loaf. It was good. Kinda dry. I also tried the chicken parm and it was basic. The server recommended the rice pudding for desert and it was not a hit. Matter of fact it was the worst rice pudding I've ever had. Although I should say that it was the first rice pudding I've ever had and I think I'm gonna stick with bread pudding. Overstayed our welcome cuz while all the signs and the menu say they are open 24/7. They actually are only open to 9pm.
Cynthia Samantha Garay
Delicious, great service!
Kristina Dundy
My favorite place to eat staff is alway's nice and quick!
Mr.J BLUE
Food was delicious, service was amazing and prices were good for the portion size. Would definitely recommend!
L Lavender
Great food, no wait... But you must pre pay for your food after a certain time
Lauren Gibs
Open 24/7 homemade cooking. One of my favorites to visit in Milwaukee. Highly recommend the butter pecan ice cream
Louise McCafferty
First time there. Will return. Have at least twelve more breakfast options to try.
Jeff El Gato
Open and ready for Business ! Nice to see , I'm retired and enjoy restaurant hopping. Love breakfast ! My new FAV 🍳🥞🥓🍔🥪 …
Eric Leukert
Late night diner!!!! No need to say anything else. The place is always good.
Jen Kusch
Service is always great, the food is always delicious. 10/10 would recommend.
Edit:
Still great, always enjoy it. They have gluten free bread!
Maddog
CLEAN! Food presentation spot on! The old school diner counter PERFECT! So good we had to eat their twice and will definitely be back the next time we're in town.
I live for places like this!
Marty Christensen
Great staff great foods must have you will not go hungry.
Brianna Fleury
Great value and wonderful food. A classic East side restaurant. We got all this food for $25! We needed the to go boxes.
Sang Đoàn
My husband took me here when it was really late. The server was very patient even though she looked tired. Good food.
Diamond Jewel
This is the ONLY breakfast I enjoy consistently! My fiance and I are bnever disappointed! For I mention the staff?! They are very well mannered under pressure for sure and don't mind going the extra mile to make sure you're happy even when there's a line out the door! It's just a must to stop here if you love actual breakfast they taste like they know you personally🥰🌸🥳🥳💛💛 thank you Ma Fischers diner and staff
Swaroop Kumar
Been coming here for a few years now. Best brunch place in town, and I love that I can pancakes anytime of the day. The service can be a little slow on weekends but the food is good. Plus bottomless coffees 👌🏼 …
Benjamin Carper
Classic family style restaurant but better than others. A lot of their meals come with complimentary sides like soup and potato or fruit and toast or even dessert. Also it’s just a fun vibe in there.
All in all the food is well cooked and enjoyable. No, it’s not everything but gosh darn this place is better than any iHop, Perkins, or Denny’s by a mile.
Erik Lomas
Ma Fischer's has been steady good for the 15+ years I've been visiting.
Agent J
Great breakfast options with huge portions and friendly staff. Very cozy and in a retro Cafe atmosphere. If you are in the area, I highly recommend.
Mary jane Bellehumeur
I love it i like they fettuccine Alfredo its really yummy and they steak to with potatoes its yummy and to much delicious i take out my left over because I really like it
Calvin Townsend
Food was excellent as always. My brother loved it. Was his first time having their food. He wishes it was a MA Fischer’s in Greenbay. I’ve been eating here for years. We had breakfast and my mom loved it as well. My sister n law was amazed at how much you get. She enjoyed the biscuits and gravy.
Ean Fickau
perfect diner to get whatever type of food piques your interest
Gary
Great food and service and very close to the Oriental Theater.
Jocelyn Campbell
My family and I enjoyed the food. Not too expensive, breakfast, lunch, and dinner served all day. Very nice place, lots of history in there. I thought the patio was a good addition to the restaurant. Food was brought to our table fast for how busy it was at the time.
Jasmine Coleman
Would’ve gave it 5 stars, but my grandma’s take-out order had mold on sandwich bread, so she wasn’t able to eat it. I dined in with my family for the first part of our meal & the food was pretty good, however I must note that the sausage tasted old or dirty. The waitress was really nice & patient, being that it was our first time there. This spot has really great lighting (for my ig lovers) & a nice interior. You definitely get your money’s worth w/ the food, being that the portions are large & filling. My grandma ordered a Reuben sandwich to go & when we arrived home she discovered the bread had mold growing on it, so make sure to check your bread!
Gibrann Espinosa
Was here for the first time this past weekend and it was delicious!! Fast and friendly. Food was awesome, had the french toast and wife had the pancakes. Great kids menu as well. Loved definitely coming back soon.
Ailsa Stokes
I like Ma Fischers havent been in awhile. The coffee was way way too strong. Our waiter never checked on us but it wasnt bad food was great as always
Sam Engsberg
Great service for a 24 hour joint. Falls into the tourist trap category where there are 50+ items on the menu that don't have enough care put into making them good. If you have tons of ingredients, they can't all be fresh/quality. Skillets were good, waffles and biscuits/gravy were sadly mediocre. Good service and speed
Quinnlyn Kalanov
This place was VERY packed, but don't let that deter you, it was MORE than worth the stop!!! They have multiple different dishes, of many kinds, and do breakfast, lunch and dinner. HIGHLY RECOMMEND the Potato Pancakes!!! Their servers, althought being railed by the amount kf people in there, were amazing through the stress, so give them big tips 💜
TL;DR, They are excellent. Do it.
T Bone
Top 5 diner food in Milwaukee! You'll never be disappointed.
Mychele Gray
Go there with your family and friends and enjoy some delicious food. Be nice to the staff, they are really great and don't deserve any bs.
feasha terry
Service was slow but the food and everything else was good. The restaurant is clean and I never really had that problem before. This is the first time where I had to wait sometime for a waiter to come to our table.
Dale McFarlane
Great service and the dumpling soup was awesome. Should have had a burger or omelet, as they looked good. The grilled cheese was dry and just not very tasty.
Gary XHLC
They are one of the few places that continue to stay open late even in this c19 era, and the food is always well made and appealing. There's a reason why they've been around so long.
Dennis Mitcheltree
Great place! Big menu, beer and good food - what's not to like?
A D
Great 24 hours a day. Parking difficult to find.
Alexis Burkholder
Visited here during 3rd shift, they have a prepay requirement and an automatic 15% gratuity late at night. The gravy on the country fried steak was fantastic. The burgers were good, but cooked more than requested. The soup was kind of bland. Not bad, and would like to visit again soon to try other stuff on the menu.
Garrett Worman
ethan and joe and keaton and juan are so handsome and the food is so slay
Patricia Adams
Never offered coffee refills, forgot our eggs, brought the wrong cake. Ok I think waitress very inexperienced. BUT... they GLADLY switched cake, food was good and hot, they brought us extra hot plates, of course I will return -we must BE KIND SERVERS SHORT STAFFED NOW. I love the peeps at Ma Fischer's.
MaryAnn Blaha
The food was delicious, especially the corn beef hash and I don't usually like corn beef hash. The waitress was wonderful and on point. Very pleasant atmosphere. The only issue I had was that it was too hot inside the restaurant.
Andrez McBride
Service was fast. Food was good. Bathroom was clean.
Peter Vlachos
I've been going here a long time. Parking was my only difficulty.
Bre Legan
Huge portions for a reasonable price. They were able to accommodate our larger family and honored our request for social distanced seating. There is an 18% automatic gratuity on tables of 6+ people.
Daniel Fogel
Super friendly and helpful staff. Huge menu with something for everyone. Portions were plentiful. Food was good
Jean Gama
Always the best in service & brunch! Had a late afternoon breakfast after funeral last week & even at weird hour, was perfect. Will be braving negative temps shortly to walk over, so can't wait for another great meal!
Jay Rossi
1st time there visiting for granddaughter's high school graduation joined her friend and family for brunch.
I Yet I'm sure we will return and possibly even make this a destination from Chicago suburbs where we live.
Very Diverse menu. Everybody was pleased with their choices
Cory Eldrenkamp
I like that they are open 24 hours its is prepay at night time. I always make a point to stop here everytime I got to Milwaukee. Plus its next to an axe throwing bar!
Ken Greene
This is a great breakfast place for me and my daughter. When I'm on the east side of town and going to have breakfast, this is a place I like to go to. There's many other good places, but this one has a menu that I'm more familiar with. The service is excellent. They are quick to get you seated and to serve you. The food is great and the prices are reasonable for Milwaukee. It has a wonderful atmosphere inside. Clean, well-lit and nice seating. It feels upscale, but not necessarily upscale prices. I like it a lot. My daughter and I especially enjoyed the pancakes. They are fantastic..
Annie Harrell
Food is always good never a bad meal either. I love their beef liver and onions. It's SO GOOD and a nice portion.
Alan Williams
I know things have been rough on everyone since COVID, but it seemed to hit Ma’s a little harder than most. We’ve been coming here for almost 25 years, and I’m sure they’ll return to form eventually, but this last visit was underwhelming to the point of disappointing. It wasn’t the staff, it was 100% the quality of the food. It just wasn’t there like it usually is. Again, I’ve no doubt things will improve for them soon, they’re an institution after all.
Paul Shinkle
Classic-menu American-Mexican diner food, with portions far too generous. Think: "a day's calories on one big oval plate." Typically excellent service. This service team looks to be a lot of students and artists, so put down that WSJ, chat them up, and learn something new. They are the best nourishment.
So Thereitis
great selection of food and the people are generally nice. you get a good amount of food for the price and the quality is good. burgers are ok, fish fry is good, meals are generally fairly priced. it could use an update; although the food is why i go there...
EDIT:
still a solid 4 stars, keep up!
Delaney
Friendly staff, you certainly get what you pay for and then some. Your order will likely give you two meals. Vintage looking and clean establishment.
Janine Hering
First time here and we'll be back. We both had omelettes and chicken dumpling soup (weird combo, I know) and everything was delicious. Looking forward to trying many more items on the menu.
Free
This restaurant is one of my favorites. If you're there on third shift ask for Alla. She's a great server. I always get and recommend the pecan French toast. It's incredibly simple but it works on so many levels. The coffee cups are extremely small but the coffee isn't that good anyways so no big deal. I highly recommend it. Just don't go expecting Michelin star food or service. Just a small diner with decent food that's open all night.
Cheryl Smith
30 some years ago, I was a server there,was hoping George or Sophia would have been there, I ordered a gyro to go,I live in Appleton so I waited till I got home,asked for Xtra sauce but got tarter instead, otherwise everything was good
matthew hanlon
Such a good skillet! Loved the vibe and located in a great Milwaukee neighborhood. Definitely recommend.
Monique Simmons
This place has an awesome atmosphere, excellent food and portion sizes and a wonderful waitress name Rihanna!
Dylan Vukich
Great spot for breakfast, brunch, or a late night bite. The servers are very kind (especially the coffee man) and I know I'll be coming here for years to come.
Flare Arrow
Ordered back on New Year's and loved the food. Docked a star for service as it really could have been better. I get that it was a VERY busy day, but we called 4 times, were put on hold for about 5 minutes each time, and were hung up on without ever actually getting through. Only got to place our order after 5 attempts and a half hour total of waiting.
Jessica Horton
Love this cute little diner in Milwaukee! Great breakfast place after a fun night out on the town. Only reason I give this 4 stars is I asked for my eggs over medium, but they were over easy with too much slime for my liking. Good portions. Parking in the parking lot is a little tight.
Nick Westfall
Really enjoyed this place. Food was great, service was friendly and consistently checked in with us. I’d recommend this place if you are looking to grab some breakfast!
Philip Kassner
Must be pretty darn good. I've been enjoying meals here for 50 years !!!!
Cody Malone
My 1st time here, heard great things so had to check it out. Nice staff and the booths and lighting were perfect. My food was amazing but my drink not so much, they didn't have strawberry lemonade so I got a regular lemonade and it wasn't the best. Also orderd a strawberry milkshake that was too thin...if that makes any sense, it was like it was just strawberry milk in a cup.
ckelly
We were asked if we wanted to sit inside or outside as soon as we walked in. Our waiter was patient and courteous. Our food arrived hot and fast. Looked and tasted good. I am never disappointed when I stop in for a meal.
Hannah Winter
The regular servers here honestly go above and beyond to help their customers (one woman helped a woman call a cab and was extremely nice about the whole thing). I also get breakfast here quite frequently and I’m always in and out in under 30mins! One of my favorite places in MKE!
cgallery
This place hasn't changed in the decades I've been going there (well they've remodeled but still). Lately I've had a BLT monkey on my back and I'm never unhappy by Ma's BLT. Also like the club sandwich. Anything off the breakfast menu is always great, too.
Service always above average, prices always fair.
It feels like going home.
Ian Addison
Favorite hungover breakfast spot of me and my friends. Don't go in expecting the best food you've ever had; get the food you would expect a diner to be able to deliver. Everything on the menu is available 24/7 just like the diner itself. Wait staff may not be your best friend, but be patient they know what they're doing. Been here plenty when it was busy and never had an issue. I'd put it between 3/4 stars, favoring 4 due to price and options.

Good food, but the malt was off (maybe too rich?) it was easy to spend a lot on food when you order a couple breakfasts, but hey. Gratuity is added, which is kinda BS (I mean just add it to the menu cost). My server brought me the wrong order, thinking I wanted a side, when I wanted a meal. Good thing the food is so tasty.
Elizabeth Brockdorf
Nothing beats a hot cuppa joe at Ma Fischer's! That's not entirely true. A side of Ma's American fries are TO DIE FOR! Hands down best place to cop a squat & grab some good grub after a long night of hittin' the bars & basking in that 414 afterglow! 😘
Richard LaFleur
Your standard diner experience. Service was quick, food was ok. Nothing too special but it's open 24/7 so you can have mediocrity around the clock
Arin Lara
Delicious and they have an excellent variety of food. The Best carrot cake I've had since I left My job at Kewadin Casino in Christmas Michigan.
AJ Johnson
I've been coming here almost weekly for about a year now since i moved nearby. From the first day to my visit last week, I've never been disappointed. Excellent service, my coffee cup has never been empty for more than 30 seconds. thanks to Miguel! Great food, with large portions for your money, never can go wrong with Ma's Special #1, or the spaghetti with meatballs. Atmosphere is also great, love sitting in the big booths and staring out the big windows watching time fly. Me and my roommate definitely consider this our second dinning room, especially during the days when we chow down while studying.
LuRene Griffith
Great food, fast service and the staff is great
Eric Thomas
A great 24 hour diner. All the greasy spoon food and coffee is always refilled. Had the baklava on my last visit and it was hand made goodness. The only downside is the bathroom. After 20+ years it seems to have never gotten better. The upside is it never got worse. Great for quick breakfast, hangover brunch, & late night carbs.
George Maniates
This is a wonderful diner in the classical sense. If you are looking for great food at moderate pricing this is the place to come to. The coffee is phenomenal and the breakfast specials are even better. I have not been I've not been disappointed yet at this place. It is family friendly and a wonderful institution in Milwaukee
Gloria Witt
Oh we loved our visit to this historic restaurant! We will be back! Make sure to ask about their catch of the day! The menu is very extensive. There is something for everyone and every craving. The chicken soup was very yummy! The portions are very large and delicious! Enjoy!
Nickolas Lee
Even though we went late around 5am on a Saturday night after St Patrick's day, we had nice service from our waitress and the food was brought out pretty quickly. Great portion sizes and fair prices. This is a great dinner!

Went here with my friend several weeks ago. We are both Air Force and were both wearing Air Force gear and another customer thanked us both for our service. I guess this place attracts good, wholesome people, and rightly so. This restaurant is great. The food itself and amount of food given was outstanding. Food came out fresh and hot and the staff was very friendly and warm. If you are looking for somewhere to eat, go here!! I will for sure be back! Try the country fried steak, best I've ever had.
Emily Alyce
Perfect brunch menu for a weekend out in Milwaukee. Really good food for a great price, and staff was very kind and personable. Would love to go back!
Mario Fiorentino
I love Ma Fisher's! Their food is delicious. You won't find a better breakfast. They use really good thick cut bacon. Best of all is their very friendly accommodating staff. Never have I been treated better on a consistent basis as I have at Ma Fisher's.
Cheryl McQueen
I've been coming here for YEARS and the managers/owners never act like I'm a familiar face that they're happy to see. I find that to be quite odd. The food is always good, and they give great portions, but the prices have increased over the years, and somehow it just doesn't feel like it's worth it anymore.
Karen Copper
Always lots to eat here, and we had exceptional service, clearing dishes as we went, and delivering food as ordered. Pumpkin cheesecake was a real treat. I especially enjoy their French dressing, and the fact that they are open 24 hours.
M Bear
We always come here when in Milwaukee. We love it. This restaurant is sparkling clean people. Seriously the owners are always cleaning. The food is carefully prepared and delicious and priced fairly. I don't often review restaurants but they do it right here...Bravo!
Cody Jurasek
Cozy diner with a bit more of an upbeat atmosphere than others. Menu is diverse, although most plates are highly overpriced for the portion sizes and quality. They add an instant gratuity and you have to pre pay for your meal after 10pm. Servers are generally friendly and efficient, and the food comes pretty quickly.
Benjamin Barnard
An institution for a reason. Exceptional breakfast, fun late-night dinner, and the quickest coffee and water refills I've ever had. You have to pre-pay for late night, but that's because they used to have a lot of dine and dashes. Biscuits and gravy and the skillets are hard to choose from, as are the pancakes. The management and staff are like old friends after a few visits and it's a great place to run into your neighbors and friends from afar alike. I judge all diner breakfasts against Ma Fischer's.
Scott K
Definitely one of the best breakfast places in all of Milwaukee. The food is always very consistently good but more importantly the service here is outstanding. Never had a bad experience in the last 5 years of coming here.
Calvin D
The food is decent and they are open 24 hours. If you are looking for a quick and ameasy place to grab a bite this is a great option on the eastside. Especially if you're looking for a meal at a different time, such as breakfast at 6pm or something. Also the staff always seems to be nice. That is always a plus. Please note if you go after a certain time at night it is prepay only and 18% gratuity is included.
Jacquelyn Nytes
Ma Fischer's has so many options, from breakfast meals to dinner entrees, they serve it all. Their skillets are my favorite! Everyone should try one. Their service is incredibly fast and consistent. Coffee and water is always refilled immediately, and the wait staff is always delightful and friendly. Very relaxed and family friendly environment. I highly recommend this classic diner to everyone!
Vladeck Kurasov
Fun place. Food is pretty good if you like your potatoes hot and greasy, and...who doesn't? Make sure your hands aren't too slippery to go to the axe throwing parlor next door.
Momo H
I can always count on the friendly staff and the food has so much variety while tasting to flavorful. I'm a frequent customer and don't plan to stop any time soon. :)
D.J. Howard
The atmosphere is always cheerful and inviting. Due to the Covid they've had to go to extra measures and it don't seem that they mind. The tables are cleaned as guests are leaving there is hand sanitizer before you enter the building and at the counter. I feel safe ordering out or in.
Gloria Chong
Ma Fischer's is one of my go-to places in Milwaukee. There's nothing fancy about them, but this local icon is the place to be if you're in the mood for quick and delicious diner style food. Their black bean burgers are amazing and they make the best fries in town. My husband always opts for the chicken and waffles, and they make one of the best clam chowders I've ever tasted. I've been going here for over 10 years and anticipate that I'll be going back for many years to come.
Carolyn Elrod
went here for a late breakfast. place was packed, but those people hustle to clear tables so our wait time was minimal. the food was great and i liked the pitcher of water on our table for convenience. homestyle food, everything we had was good.
Kevin Gullikson
Friendly staff, always coming around to make sure your coffee isn’t empty. The diner itself has a great older but also open, modern feel. Great place for hanging out for breakfast.
Emily DeLeeuw
Let me begin by sharing that I am not a fan of going out to breakfast. However, Ma Fischer's has fast service with large portions at fair prices. Their menu also seems endless! Their staff is always coming around to refill drinks, which is fantastic. I would return again!
Jarrett Lang
This is my go to spot for if I need something a nice yet not too expensive place to eat. I've been here around 4 or 5 times within the last year which is a lot for a me and restaurants. They also give you a good amount of food which works for students like me because leftovers are my primary source of meals. 5/5 thanks for being my favorite diner by campus.
Victoria Kerr
I've been here three times now. I love coming for the variety of food! So many options you can choose from. Breakfast all day! They also let you substitute items in you meal. The wait staff is very friendly and attentive to anything you may need. I will continue to go here for the good food, cheap prices, and wonderful staff!
Rojer Moder
From the quick reviews l was expecting a sweet old fashioned favorite restaurant, when in fact it's sort of Denny's-ish. Nice staff, average most everything else.
Richard Hoffman
I go here regularly. I like classic sit down town feel restaurants, and Ma's is the closest you get to that on the East side. Good variety. Awesome fruit platter and cake. Coffee keeps coming 😊 …
Charlotte
Service was a little slow but that was probably because they were quite busy. They were very accommodating in substituting spinach for lettuce in their Cobb salad. It was a really good salad; everything was very fresh.
Eldamar Isle
It's a classic dinner. Always open, good staff, quality food, large portions. An east side institution since 1947, I wasn't around then, but stepping out in the 1980's this was one of the places to go after bar close. It still is, but it is a place to bring the family as well. Try It! You won't be disappointed, have i lies to you yet?
Ícaro dos Santos
The best breakfast place I've been. Great variety. Very good service. Certainly, I will come back...several times!
Recovery Junkie
Good portion, had the ma special #1 pancakes are nice sized!
Steven Schmitzer
Honestly Ma Fisher's has good food, above average service and the prices are just getting too high. $13. for a breakfast skillet with nothing special is a lot. Covid policies are good.
Lisa Ziccardi
We came in for a show at the Pabst and stopped in for a late night meal. WHO CARES IF YOU MUST PAY FIRST!! Why would anyone complain about that. The food was excellent. That pancakes were delicious. !!! I’ve eaten in many restaurants and I’m usually disappointed in the pancakes. We will come back on our next visit to Milwaukee!
Shannon Marie
Came in for carryout and their team was excellent. The female manager/owner was so kind and extremely friendly! Food came up fast and was amazing. I can't wait to come back!
Katie Knutson
Went after bar close on a Saturday so the place was packed (and Pizza Shuttle had closed early??). Our server had at least 8 tables so service was very slow. We almost left before she greeted us because we were getting tired. My bf ordered food and I ordered pie. Only the entree was brought out so I had to wait an extremely long time before I could ask the server to bring my food out too. Luckily there was help refilling waters and coffees. They require you to prepay and leave a 15% tip so even though the server was pleasant, the service was far from great. Next time we're going to George Webb.
DJ Sitte
I've been coming here for years and I've never had a bad experience, even if it's 3am. Classic american dinner with wonderful breakfast food and AMAZING service. I don't think my coffee cup has ever been empty.
Nathan Larsen
My favorite restaurant for home-style breakfast. A classic diner atmosphere, great food, quick service. I've never had to wait longer than 10 min for a table despite eating during Sunday brunch hours.
James Midkiff
Great food and all the staff we interacted with were very nice. Luke in particular was really helpful and came in clutch when there was a small mishap with our order. Thank you!!!
Sara CB
Decent milkshakes, excellent service, great coffee and open all the time! I wasn't too thrilled with the blueberry pie, but I'm picky, so next time I'll get one of their fantastic looking cakes. Their BLT with avocados is just lovely and their sandwiches come with a bunch of sides. :)
Kimberly Waters
The food was delicious! Especially the fried chicken dipped in hot sauce. The customer service... A 4.5. I went late night and the undertone of the of the employees not wanting to be there was present just a pinch. However, our waitress was excellent.
Denard Taylor
The breakfast options are so good I can’t believe it! The staff is also extremely nice you can’t help but tip them handsomely. Also the entire time I was there the staff was cleaning the place( literally scrubbing things). I’ll go every Sunday from this day forward and I suggest anybody reading this to please please go you will not be disappointed in any way trust me.
Shannon Pearl
One of my favorite places to eat! Always delicious, always friendly staff, and always open! My personal favorite is the California Delight chicken sandwich. My husband loves their breakfast skillets.
Evan Wiszniewski
The food was delicious and the staff were awesome people to interact with. Will definitely be coming back.
Mike Rolfs
Damn good diner food, open 24/7 for all of your cravings. Very friendly staff and quick service. The food is outstanding and especially great late night after a show at The Rave. Very highly recommended!
James St. Louis
Not going to lie, it's not the best food I've ever had, but it is pretty good and they give generous portions. Open 24 hours so it's your best bet for a decent meal in the small hours of the morning. Definitely will be back!
Mahmoud Elewa
Food is usually pretty good with minor hiccups. My toast has been burnt couple times and they don't have a steak option for skillets late night which is kind of odd; but overall positive experience. Prices are decent but not a great value either.
Thomas Tentoes
Prices can’t be beat! Really enjoyed the meals that came with a free dessert.
Elizabeth H
The food is average for a diner! Nice staff, food is consistently good. I love this place, it’s casual and fairly priced. Doesn’t hurt it’s open 24/7.
They have an atm in the front vestibule, should you need.
Nick Wolf
Imagine a classic diner, and that's what you get at Ma Fisher's. Basically any kind of comfort food you could want. I go there for breakfast/brunch cravings. The service is usually pretty fast.
James Johnson
The food was delicious and the service was absolutely amazing! Will go back every time in town.
Rob Flores
Huge menu selection. Decent prices. Big servings. Lots and lots of different cuisines. They specialize in Greek though but have everything. Breakfast all day. Cool East side vibe.
Jack Vento
Pretty standard diner, nothing too "special" about it. But the service was good and I felt at home. The food was warm, and tasty. It was comforting. My tummy thanks for for chosing this location. Next, I might try Bubba's frozen custard on Capitol Dr.
Kristin Kinzel
Our first dine in experience anywhere since the starting spread of Covid-19 in April. We felt very comfortable and safe from contracting the virus in the restaurant, all staff were wearing proper PPE and social distancing was considered with the table spacing and placement. An amazing new outdoor patio seating area has been installed offering even more safe dining space. We saw constant cleaning and sanitizing and all guests followed the mandated Covid regulations. Anyone not eating/drinking was wearing a mask while in and moving around the restaurant. Thank you for all the work you have put in to make us feel safe and part of the living world again.
Plus, still the BEST patty melt in Milwaukee and all of Wisconsin! Our favorite thing on the menu anytime of day..
Ma Fisher's is doing all the right things 👍
Jojopahmaria Nsoroma
Still family owned and operated, still consistently good comfort food, especially breakfast! I've gone here to eat for 25 years and now that I'm no longer living in Milwaukee, I make sure to have a meal when I visit. Blessings to that family!
James Heck
Ma's certainly has it's merit as a late night restaurant, but it's not a good place for an all around good time. The food is good, but the service is almost always inattentive and rude.
Be careful if you go after 9:00 pm, because the servers almost universally try and tack on 30% to your bill as "gratuity" to probably try and squeeze some extra cash out of the drunk clientele. You can haggle this off your bill, but it's never going to be fun or easy to do.
All in all, go if you're desperate for some good, late night food, but don't be surprised if you come out questioning the value of your visit.
Tim Meyer
Ive never been to Milwaukee. I stayed this weekend and ate at ma's both mornings. It was so good we went back. They were extremely busy.... But! Could handle it and the staff was doing great. I couldn't my glass under halfway. Great experience! Thank you
Jessica E S Bauer
First time there. Huge crowd. Food was good. Service was a bit slow, but the place was packed with a huge line of people waiting to be seated. Very large portions. Would visit again if in the area.
Joann Sodon
Good.
Jennifer Farrell
This place is great. The most expensive item is $13.95. Average price is $9 for a ton of food and options. After 10pm they require you to pay in advance but tip is automatically included. If you go during normal hours you pay at the end of the meal and you determine tip. Friendly staff. A classic!
Belinda Allen
Good food, relaxed atmosphere, good service
Tom Moon
Great place to eat, great dining room good food. We had a guy waiter that loved VW's. He was great also.
Levi Kohlmann
I eat here more than anywhere else in Milwaukee. Great place to go if you want good food at a reasonable price.
Taylor Soderling
Ma Fischer's is always a nice place for some comfort food. With the long line of street view windows, it's always nice to come anytime around breakfast and lunch to enjoy some wake-up food and watch the people and cars go by. We've never been disappointed with the food, and we've never left feeling cheated or ignored by the staff, though some have been less than stellar. Regardless, this is always a good stop whatever the meal.
Shaun Booth
The best of the best of diners in the US. There is a reason that billionaires that will go unnamed dine there at 4 in the afternoon at the counter on a Saturday. Also the best late night place to mow some chicken tenders and people watch. The best can't say enough a Milwaukee legend.
Kathleen Gutzmer
First we had to ask for a server, then they forgot my daughters drink and my appetiser. And to top it off I found a hair in the meat of my hamburger. As my family finished their foods I was too grossed out to eat. I told our waiter and he sent the owner over, who never apologized! Almost seemed like we were trying to pull one over on him for free food. I never asked for anything and in fact did not want to make a big deal of it. He had the kitchen Make me a New Burger! After my family was finished with theirs, I actually had to ask them to make it to go since I didn't want to have anyone wait for me. They did take off my $6 drink! So unless that's something... may not return for a while sadly.
Patri Ci (San)
So far, one my favorite places to eat while in MKE . Love the family friendly atmosphere, and the style and service from those good old time restaurants that you do not see very often nowadays. You can also spot costumers that have been eating there for decades. Good food , big portions, and reasonable price.
Meredith Hall
I have been going here for 32 years and counting. It's a true institution of Milwaukee's east side. My parent's even went here while dating. It's everything you could want in a classic diner. Fast, friendly, dependable service and good food day & night.
Jordan Mielke
Cheap and filling breakfast food. Better than a Denny's, but not fancy enough to be saving this one your Instagram. Food comes out very quickly. This place is a classic American diner.
Corey Roos
I've been going to Fishers since I was born. It was our family stop after visiting my great grandmother. It's well priced. The food is your standard family fare. Add long as you're not looking to get gastro-pub level dishes, five stars all the way.
Kathleen Paukner
The patty melt was excited but the fries were cold. The waitress was good but the man there was not. He was very rude to the waitress and customers. He look like a foreign man with gray hair and about 55 -65 years old. I think he was the owner.
Patrick Cannon
My girlfriend and I go here all the time! Their menu is giant, so any kind of craving we have Ma Fischer's can satisfy. The servers are all really sweet and friendly. We love coming here because it's a good amount of food for the both of us at a good price. Since we go out to eat all the time because we hate to cook, Ma Fischer's is always a great place to hangout and eat great food at a reasonable price. "Where should we go for dinner?" It's almost always at the Ma Fisch.
Zachary Dix
The service here is amazing. There are multiple people that come around to fill your water and coffee, and the wait staff is extremely friendly. I always get breakfast food when I come here and it tastes amazing.
Jonnie K
Their food and service was excellent. The waitress was very friendly and attentive. No complaints whatsoever. If you haven't been and you're in the area, it is DEFINITELY worth a stop by.
Linda Steadman
Sometimes it's great, but more often middle of the road. This last time, I did takeout and had to remind the person putting the order together about the items we were supposed to receive. And still they missed something. Parking is still insane, too, especially on a weekend night.
Brogan Maxwell
On September 2, 2019 there I sat at the counter top and witnessed world class hostessing from Isabella. The care she has for customers, and dedication to the company is evident. She kept the employees in line and filled in as an accountant going over all the bills. There was a car crash in the parking lot and she even ran out to help with the wound! She is a brilliant employee and she is what truly deserves the 5 stars.
Emily Rivera
Staff super friendly and efficient. Always greeted with a smile! We all enjoyed our delicious meals!
David Schaefer
I have lived on the East side of Milwaukee for most of my life. MaFischer's is and always will be a dining favorite. Food , service, and experience has remained consistently on point. And right down the street from the famous Oriental theatre! Enjoy!
Lauren Soderlund
Food is decent, but it is what you expect from a diner. Good times. Only qualm is the price. Why so expensive for a diner?? I am from the south so maybe diners north of Mason Dixon are standard pay?? Who knows. If youre drunk and everything is closed, give it a go.
Sandra Williams
Quite a large menu for comfort food. Healthier options too! The portions were on the larger side and the pricing was fair. Great service and warm smiles.
Christianne Varela
Hidden gem! serves surprisingly tasty food, ingredients are fresh and portions plentiful (can you say SIX full-sized checked tenders?). Not your run-of-the-mill 24hr dinner.
John Hess
Thank you for the excellent and very thoughtful service.
ryck garcia
Some of the BEST service in the city.
Love this restaurant
Never have to ask me twice about going there!
zot171
great food anytime! im one of those people active through the night and theyre the best place open 24/7. omelettes, skillets, burgers, and infinite coffee are what ive enjoyed so far. i think i need to do some branching out...
Robert Wright
Best restaurant in Milwaukee, bar none. Open 24 hours a day and huge menu. With large portions and fast service. My favorite restaurant in town. Don't miss it !!
A. Anderson
Always great breakfast or a late night meal. But this time while I was visiting for the holiday they closed early. Are they NOT 24hrs anymore?
Ramon Anisio
I was surprised with the food there .
I was thinking about just another dinner but the place is pretty good!
Very clean and the staff is friendly .
The food is amazing.
Try the chicken dumplings soup!!
Deborah Voith
Love this place for many, many years! A Milwaukee icon. They have all my favorite breakfasts!
Ashley D
First time coming here and I must say it was definitely worth it. The meat lover skillet was amazing. Packed when I showed up but seated immediately and food was brought out really fast! I will definitely come back
Brianna Mason
Standard 24 hour diner for midnight breakfast options! A little overpriced. Crepes are fantastic. We have had some waitresses who were great and some who weren't, but that's a diner for you.
Eric Rasmussen
I always get the country fried steak and I rarely am let down. There are certain times at night and certain items that aren't good. If you know what you're doing, this is classic place to go to.
william berry
Chicken dumpling soup delicious. Service excellent. Very clean. Wanted hamburger medium. It was way over cooked.
Daniel Gross
Ma Fischer's was a favorite in the 1980s! Nights would often end up with pie and coffee. More than 30 years later I had the opportunity to take my own children to Fischer's. They're still busy, service is still fast and friendly and the food is still great.
Muhmuh Monahan
Nice, old school, diner. Helpful server with ordering dairy free, (great burgers, decent fries). Coffee was always being refilled. They have their own little parking lot.
Valli Funk
Yummy food, good service, open 24hours
Bob Striegel
Still is The iconic East-Side eatery. A little too politically-correct for me as I had to look hard for a Non-Vegan menu choice. However, I was very well pleased with the Non-Vegan food and the service was great.
Joel Buchanan
I had amazing American Fries (thinly cut potatoes fried, similar to hash browns) that were incredible.
The pancake wrapped sausages were also awesome.
The coffee? The coffee was terrible. Really terrible. I ordered a Pepsi it was so bad.
SHAWN GRIFFIN
I been here four times. One time I got a rude waitress. The other times they were nice. The first time I ordered lasagna and was surprised how good it was. Second time I tried a meatloaf it was good. Then a gyro. Last time meatloaf and it tasted nothing like i had the first time. They didnt give me a desert this time and charged right away becuase it was night and helped themselves to a tip. I like the fast service. They give you good amount of food. Theres a guy he might be the manager. He just glares at you. Some people may find it rude but I find it funny. Theres a guy that keeps pouring the coffee if you get past half a cup and he wont stop never lol.
Jason Holicky
We enjoyed a late dinner at Ma Fischers this past weekend after hanging out at the Casino. we shared some of their delicious fried cheese curds for a appetizer. We all ordered sandwiches with fries. Soup was a huge bowl, really too big with the sandwich and fries. I enjoyed the food a lot and left with a to-go box. I would go back if we are in the area. One thing was little wierd, they made us pay the bill up front and included the tip. The waitress said it was because it was "3rd shift". I was thinking maybe they have had issues with people running off and not paying.
Vinny Bonofiglio
Great food,very nice staff, and quick service.
Jon SENDER
One of America's great diners. Outstanding food and service. This restaurant gets better and better every year.
Christopher Kottke
Ma Fischer's is one of the few dinners still alive today. If you are looking for great customer service, classic breakfast food, and a great french toast, Ma Fischer's is a great place!
Marco B
Great Breakfast Place!!!! Great service!
Rickey Townsell
I'm 65 yrs old & have been going to Ma Fischer's since my college days in the 70s. My wife & I now try to go every Wednesday we can for their soup & sandwich. Their potato soup is sublime. Although my sandwich choice varies, my wife always gets the Monte Cristo. I have never been disapounted. Each sandwich comes with soup & fries or fruit.
Paul Dziadulewicz
My wife LOVES the chicken wings. Our fall back place when we can't decide what to eat. Never disappoints.
Terry Casey
Excellent food and great service. Arrived mid morning so no wait and all the food arrived quickly. Always good!!!
Danielle Sparks
You can't go wrong with ma fischers. They are always consistent. A bit pricy but very fast service and good food.
Delirious__vrc
Ahh forgot to put this here before but just recently I visited here for the very first time and I gotta say the food is amazing! Staff are very friendly and excellent service. If I get to come to Milwaukee again I am going to make sure I stop here!
Jimbo Gymbow
I had a gyros, which comes with fries and a bowl of soup. The soup came right away. I thought Iwas going to get a cup. A full bowl of chicken dumpling. The Gyros was piled high with a bowl of fries. Good Gyros reminded me of Greektown in Chicago. I will definitely be back.
Michael Howard
After the club u have 2 pay 4 your food N advance due 2 idiot's dining and dashing.
Overall since its 24hrs they strongly need security. Think about it consumers come there highly intoxicated ready 2 fight and are very irritable. Safety comes first be4 filling consumers Gawd damn belly. Overall I did Xperience a quesadilla not properly crafted and at nitez they dont prepare macaroni l, only during the day... Very sociable and suitable 4 a nice bite 2 eat after late festivities. Shalom.
Scott Lannoye
Great service, great food, in a nice neighborhood on Milwaukee's east side, very clean restaurant
David Lamma
Expensive but it's kind of worth it because of the amount you get. Good food all around, pretty decent service. They do make you pay for your food before you get it after 9 pm. Also is a 15% gratuity included into your bill. Only spot open 24 hours.
James Kearn
Walked in on a busy sunday morning, seated immediately. Food was served within 10 minutes, with plenty of "capoffs" for coffee. First time for chicken and waffles, for quite the delicious experience.
John Contreras
Some of the best breakfasts I've ever had have been from here. Highly recommend!!!
J Thomas
One of the best breakfast that I had in my life! Was served in about 5min. Am I glass was killed full with coffee water and juice
Craig Nehring
Had not been here in a very long time, stopped by for dinner just before dark to go check out the Christmas lights downtown.
Same good food and attentive quick service that I recall from decades past
Melissa Castellini
Over priced, loud, crowded and no where ever to park!! Service was slow and unenthusiastic. Food was luke warm, and not correct. Probably wont return any time soon. Hassled for change and cigs outside the front door.
Anthony Washington
Food smell better then IHOP Denny's . Just a small restaurant with beautiful people and " great food" invasive " great food"
Alexander Ehlert
Great place for 24hr breakfast!
Ana R
Great place and the food is delicious. Also the service is great. And as a plus they serve breakfast food all day.
Greg Willbanks
Typical diner food, ordered chicken strip appetizer. The strips were smaller than my daughters kids meal strips which was odd. All fine for what it is but was pricey for a diner.
Michelle
Great food and very friendly service. Outdoor seating available as well. Very impressed!
Robert Van Rens
Ma Fishers never changes - the food is OK, its open all hours, the prices are decent, and you always know what you're going to get. Like most diners, the breakfast menu is the safest bet.
NANCY ALDRICH
The service is always great. Your coffee cup will never empty unless you put your hand over the top😄. Good place for breakfast any time of the day. …
Anthony flores
Excellent breakfast and excellent portions
Huey Barnett
We had a group of 81 at Ma Fischer's Family Restaurant on a Saturday afternoon. All staff members were friendly, service was quick and good, food was hot and tasty, prices were good, and we were treated as valued customers. I highly recommend this restaurant.
Joshua DeGrasse-Baumann
Good for late night food, and a wide selection of it. Heads up: they do require payment before food is severed. Not really an issue, but might catch you off guard the first time.
Steve Miller
I usually just go there for breakfast. Everything is always well prepared and the service is typically fast. If your day starts early like mine it is the best choice in the area.
Brian Crane
Food has always been great since 1984 w hff en I first ate there and Ma Fischer would come arround checking on each table. Our young waitress tonight was awesome awesome awesome!!!
Jim Ward
Always good for breakfast. Server was excellent. Food came out quick.
Fluffy Raptor
You pay upfront and they can only split a table's bill 4 ways but have seating for parties of 9+. Good location if you have a smaller group and want some ok food
Merry Russell
Better than regular barfood. Food and service were great even though they were short staffed.

The food i had ordered was very good. Amounts were right for the price. Server was attentive but must have been having an off day because she was sloppy with the beverages and soup.

Andy Maier
This is one of my favorite places in Milwaukee to get a meal. It's not fancy but it's good food, with fast, friendly, and attentive service.
Boss Lady Hampton
Great place to grub anytime of the day. I mostly come late nights. The menu has many things to choose from and the prices are ok. You have to pay for your order first, which is a downer to say the least
Eric Crouthamel
Ma Fischer's is the only place I know in town to get a Monte Cristo sandwich. It's so good! They also have the best chicken dumpling soup.
Ste Farrow

Stephen Schultz
The staff is an absolute delight

There is no replacement for a great diner that is open at all hours. Pretty much everything is good, especially the breakfast. The staff is fantastic.

Portions were generous and food was good. Ask for Nicole. An excellent server who went above and beyond to make a picky customer like me happy.

Always open and perfect for that late Sunday breakfast you so desperately need.
Craig Burbey
Been going here since my college days when Jimmy Carter was prez. My 2am after bar restaraunt stops are long behind me but still stop by for an occasional breakfast or lunch. In the morning I always go withe the homeade corned beef hash and for lunch either a reuben or French dip. A great Milwaukee institution.
debra grimes
Still Good. And friendly.
Kristina Randall
The food was very good. The restaurant was nice and clean

Delicious food and friendly staff. Someone is always coming around to refill your coffee. I like the east side atmosphere and City view.
Tamika Tombs
It seems as if there wasn't enough staff we were waiting on straws and other little things score a long time before a waiter will come over
Tamika Jordan
One of the places I like to dine in a few times out of the month. Great customer service, food taste good, and nice clean inviting atmosphere.
Wendy Sobczyk
Generous portions. Server was slow and u attentive. Had to flag him down multiple times to get things he forgot or we needed. There was three other patrons at the time.
Michele “1eyedShell” Cumpston
Good food, generous portions, good service all for a great price. Definitely recommend stopping here for a meal any time of the day or night
Moe Bacon Films
Great eggs bacon and pancakes but the homestyle country gravy needs work...... And the fried country steak is the only thing i wouldnt eat here.... But everything else great
Lucas Lim
Their clam chowder is so good! Great restaurant for groups that want different things. You'll find a bit of everything at Ma Fischer's.
Shannon Stearns
Had Malinda as our server, will be asking for her every time i come in from now on. She was such a joy to be around and so helpful with the menu!
Crispin T
Everytime we go to this restaurant we get exceptional service and great food. If you're looking for a place that makes you feel like home, this is the place.
Hannah Helms
my partner and i dine here every week and we’ve never had a bad experience!
Bruce Heilbrun
Really liked Ma Fischer's. Good food, good service, friendly staff. Open 24/7. I'll go back, there is more on the menu I want to try. Home cooking.
Justin DeTerville
Just okay, occasionally awful. Don't bother going at night as it turns into drunken mess after 11. That being said it is one of a few places open all night with a real menu.
Eric Lewis
What you'd expect. Fairly priced, big portions, acceptable quality. Good for a late night/post bar meal. Be prepared to pre-pay if you come late at night. 24 hrs
Angela Shutterly
Great food and prices. Friendly staff!
Kara P
Maybe a little overpriced for basic diner food, but it's always been my go-to late night place. Staff is always friendly and attentive.

I like the food in this place! I have been there many time this year, the only thing is the servers are unfriendly sometimes but over all the place and food are good! I will defiantly come and visit it again!

Grabbed bite to eat before Back Room Collectivo concert. Great food and prices —chili, salad, cornbread....Definitely will return!

Always a great experience here. Would recommended this place to anyone. Good portions of food for a good price. Love this place.

Great waffles and omlettes. Here's a picture of a waffle.

Food very good! No complaints....paying before you eat a lil weird, but I can understand based on patrons...

One of the best breakfast skillets I've ever had. Pleasant atmosphere. Reasonably priced. Go here.

My go-to restaurant whenever I’m in Milwaukee! If you’re in MKE and need a restaurant to try Ma’s is a must. Great food and even better service
Del Fam
Been going here for over 20 years and get thee best service and food in all the east side of Milwaukee. You can really tell the difference between a chain restaurant and a family-owned like this one were they care about their customers.

Basic menu, but the amount of food they give you is amazing for the price. We always take home leftovers no matter how hungry we are when we arrive here.

Plenty of seating, friendly staff. We were served quickly and the food was very good. Definitely would recommend!

Our waitress was pretty cool! We were expecting another to join us, our waitress tools is that she would keep a lookout for her.
Kofi
Loved the server. Food was okay but too expensive for the quality. Would prefer not to go back. Service is great though.
Francesca da Ferrara
Had a great breakfast here with a large-ish group. My only complaint is that we were rushed through the breakfast because it was so crowded, and the service was pretty awful.
Byler Tooks
Went for breakfast, server was polite, food came quick, the crepes were also huge, I loved their french toast it really hit the spot
