The Machine Shed Pewaukee

This was my first visit, and it certainly won't be my last. This place is fantastic! At first, it reminded me of Cracker Barrel, which I adore. They have the largest pecan rolls for sale—simply unbelievable! They also offer massive peanut butter cookies and chocolate chip cookies at the counter. DELICIOUS! The seating is spacious and comfortable. We went on a Saturday afternoon, and it was so quiet and peaceful. Our waiter was outstanding! I ordered the classic Reuben sandwich with fries. The sandwich was enormous, and the fries were golden and crispy on the outside while fluffy on the inside. We were able to sit back and enjoy our meal without feeling rushed. I had a wonderful experience. This restaurant is truly a hidden gem.

This is the first review I’ve ever written that deserves a perfect score. The night before my son and his new wife had their wedding, we had a family dinner at The Machine Shed. Throughout the planning process, the staff was incredibly helpful. On the night of the dinner, the banquet room was beautifully arranged and everything was well-organized. The food was outstanding, and many guests commented on how lovely everything looked. Our waitress, Jamie, did an exceptional job, checking on us multiple times to ensure we had everything we needed. She handled all 29 members of our party with ease. At the end of the evening, when I asked Jamie if we needed to start clearing the tables, she kindly told us to take our time and not to feel rushed. Thanks to The Machine Shed and Jamie, it was a truly wonderful evening.

The waitress was very amusing and friendly. Food was really good! Loved the beer cheese Di with bread sticks. Had also sangria. Chicken strips were dipped by hand. Pig meat was delicious on a Brioche bean. French onion soup... Would definitely go back and try the dinner menu as we were there for lunch.

Good country-style restaurant next to the Interstate on the outskirts of Milwaukee. Excellent carrot cake. Sausage Eggs Benedict.

So be warned, prices are higher here than your average place. BUT the food was so good. Pictured are the two appetizers, the barbecue potato skins and the haystack onions. The potato skins were ok, but admittedly that?s just never been my jam, to each their own. My husband enjoyed them though. We both LOVED the haystack?so crunchy and just exactly what they should be. Also pictured is the hand breaded chicken sandwich and for an extra $1 I substituted for sweet potato fries. They sprinkle a little sugar over them which was different. But the sandwich was pretty good?had a nice crispy layer to the chicken and was delicious. Not pictured was the brisket dinner my husband got and he said it was tasty! I?d probably eat here more if I lived closer and the prices were a bit lower, but I can say that we?ll definitely be back bc at least you get REALLY tasty food for the price!
