My neighbor has been raving about Schneider's for years and I didn't realize it was just down the street from me! We went a few Friday's ago for the Fish Fry. We went mid day and we were the only table seated with the exception of a few people sitting at the bar. We sat at the bar at first while we waited for our food. There were a few older men watching the news and starting to make ignorant racist comments. We decided to seat our self in the dining area and skip the drinks. There was a bartender present but she didn't say anything to them. I normally would have but my friends who I were with (who happen to be POC) told me to leave it alone. The first thing I noticed was that the place was kind of a dive. The decor and atmosphere felt like I went home to grandma's house it was dingy and outdated. The waitress was nice but not overly friendly or welcoming. The service was fast and the food was great! I had the beer battered cod with potato cakes. My only complaint about the food was that the tartar sauce was basically just mayonnaise with lemon squeezed in it it was nothing like tartar sauce. I'm really conflicted about this place because the food was fantastic but the atmosphere wasn't. I'm not sure that I feel comfortable supporting this establishment.

This is my second visit here. My first visit was great. I had the famous fish fry (my first in MKE), and it didn't disappoint. Great tasting fish and sides. Cheap domestic draft beer. The second visit was also good. Appetizers and a shrimp basket. Simple good, good prices, cold beer. Its not the most elegant option, but it sure works well. Its just comfortable.

I typically like this place for a random lunch during the week when I 'm off of work and I like Denise, the daytime bartender quite lots. As a bartender of over 20 years, Denise is what I love in a bartender. Friendly, knows what I drink and knows what I eat so my issue isn 't with her. My issue is coming in for a random drink on a Tuesday with an old high school friend and being inudated with comments about Emmitt Till and people saying, I 'm going to the Southside to drink with the Pollocks Not something that anyone should have yo hear no matter what race you are.

Garlic cheese bread is good. Homemade soups. Good service. Nightly specials.
