“ I was here for a convention and the walk was well worth it! Better quality food, excellent service and a variety of offerings. Im from New York, and Im used to well oiled machines when it comes to Delis. Waterfront deli does a lot of things right and has a fun atmosphere ”
“ So glad to find this place near my hotel! You dont really appreciate the ambience until you step inside. Love the pastrami! ”
“ An absolute gem, Ive tried so many things here and always enjoyed them, they have a really cool atmosphere and a belt driven food delivery system if you sit on the second floor. I highly recommend the pizza especially the habenero chicken pizza, which to be honest, is not too spicy, but it is delicious and the lemon pine nut pasta salad. The staff are also all great! Hope this place stays around for a long time. ”
“ Well, I had my first bad experience as I stupidly strayed from a salad or sandwich and tried their chicken enchiladas. Brutally honest opinion... never put those back on the menu. First of all, they were not enchiladas but burritos as they used flour tortillas. Second chicken was rubbery like it was boiled. And, who puts green peas in a Mexican actually was more TexMex dish? Embarrassed to admit after over 15 years of frequenting Waterfront Im leaving my first review for them. I cannot say enough about the deli. Everything is super good. Salads are fantastic and a great deal compared to other places around. Honestly their salads can feed 2 and not exaggerating. Their sandwiches are as solid as their salads. You cannot go wrong from soups to salads to sandwiches to their pizzas. ”
“ Great grilled cheese and great place. The visuals of the upper floor are extravagant and eyecatching. Definitely a mustgo for that alone. The food options are great and the prices are pretty good as well. ”
“ This place has been here for ages and this was the first time I had actually gone in to get lunch. I ordered the entree of the day which was two chicken chimichangas with rice and beans. Photo shows my meal half eaten, but at least I remembered to get a picture this time. The chimichangas were flavorful, I love the added cilantro on the rice and beans. The beans oddly reminded me of chocolate pudding cups but that was probably my taste buds. I have ordered catering from Milwaukee Waterfront Deli in the past, and should have reviewed them for that, but I didnt. So here I will say the Continental Breakfast spread they put together for me a year ago was well received by my work group. Delivery and set up was included which made my morning event go even smoother. All in all a great local establishment that is well loved and admired by so many. Next time I will need to eat in, instead of rushing back to work. ”
“ Great lunch spot! Sandwiches are fresh and tasty. Eat on second floor to experience the conveyor belt. Have also had them cater work events and its been terrific. ”
“ This little gem is a family tradition. Anytime Ive taken my kids to performances or on special excursions in downtown Milwaukee we always make time for a stop at the Deli. The food is exceptionally fresh with a great variety to suit all pallets. The service is always with a welcoming smile. And the ambiance is wonderfully magical! From the elaborate murals of theatre patrons some famous Milwaukeeans and lavish mirrors, to the fascinating colorful twostory food lift, theres something of wonder to amuse throughout the Deli. ”
