mcbob's pub & grill

this was a good experience. great atmosphere good place to meet friends for drinks. i sat at the bar and had drinks with a friend. service was good

great quality but one has to be patient with waiting. not enough staff for busy times. wonderful ruebens and anything corned beef- melts in your mouth!

awesome corn been sandwich with great portion sizes. they are also one of the few bars in milwaukee to sale turkey burgers. great venue to watch the big game or just to hang out.

whenever i'm back in milwaukee there are a few musts. number one must--a reuben at mcbobs! never fails to hit the spot for tender, perfectly seasoned, well-blended sandwhich with a cold tap beer.  
if you enjoy finding the great deal at your favorite shop, or you coin the catchiest come-back at just the right moment, you'll be in this moment when you discover yourself amazed at any of mcbobs menu items. you'll wonder, "now, why haven't i been here yet?" and viloa! you've arrived.

love the corn beef. i was craving for a corn beef sandwich in which i didn't have to make. i ask my husband to go to another local restaurant. he said, no i heard about this spot called mcbob"s grill and i think you would like them better. he went and i was hooked. the meat was so tender and delicious, and melted in my mouth. just the right flavors, bread wasn't soggy or over ran with butter. i liked my sandwich grilled. there was plenty of meat. it took me two setting at home to eat the whole sandwich. if that sandwich is the greatest thing i have tasted in a long time then i'm sure all their other items of food is just as great. i can't wait till my next sandwich. i hope they never change anything about the way they cook their food. with all that said, they have a customer for life. thank-you mcbob! sanmarie.

listened to the local hype and tried a corned beef sandwich at this place. it was terrible. the "corned beef" tasted like plain boiled beef and was tough. won't try again.

the corned beef is cooked in plastic carsynogenic bags. the meat taste like plastic.. my problem is with the corned beef. i have eaten corned beef that tastes fresh and delicious. this is not it. it taste like it was cooked in a plastic bag for over 10 hours. the plastic penetrates the meat and makes it have a odd flavor. not the best place for the amount of food they produce in that kitchen that is smaller than my bathroom.

for the amount of business this place does you would think they could clean up their disgusting basement where they keep all of the food, and do something about their tiny kitchen like add on to the kitchen to support a better way to cook the corned beef instead of the plastic bags the food comes in from the butcher. once your alto shams become grease catchers your really just spreading disease. you would think they would take the meat out of the plastic bags but they don't. i will never eat the meat at this place ever again. i have had enough cancer causing bisphenol which is used in plastics called polycarbonate. but mc bob actually cook the food at 350 degrees in plastic bags that leach this toxic chemical into your food.

sorry but i just can't do that anymore.

reuben!. best reuben i've ever had..... period.

they do corned beef well if you want a beer with it. otherwise, hit jake's deli just down the road on 16th and north.

good taste and wireless. hi, i am from chile and i am staying in sheraton hotel, and i looked for a place with wireless , and found this website, i went to mcbob's pub, and i found good food, good environment, and an excellent wide internet conection, so i am very happy, sure i will come back :)

excellent corned beef hash and eggs! huge portions.

rueben sandwich was out of this world!!. let me start out by saying i hate rueben sandwiches and yes hate is the right word. i have tried them several times over the years and either i didn't like the meat or sauerkraut or both. mcbob's is a different story. my mother and i visited this restaurant for the first time this past friday. i ordered the fish platter and she had the rueben. what a mistake on my part. my fish platter was excellent. it was fried perfectly and the breading was just the right amount. the potato pancakes were excellent also. the only thing i didn't care for was the coleslaw. it has a funny strong aftertaste. i would rate the fish platter a 9.5 out of 10. now on to the rueben, my mom wanted a piece of my fish to try and she offered me a piece of her rueben sandwich. i told her to just give me a very small piece as i hate ruebens. my first response was wow! this is like nothing i have ever had before. by the time it was over with i ate almost half of her sandwich. this is what i noticed about the rueben. first, the flavor of the meat was perfect without being too strong. with other ruebens i have had there has been an over the top flavor to the meat that is too strong. second the sauerkraut complemented the meat but did not stand out. that was always another complaint i had about other ruebens. you would take a bite and get this strong after taste of the bitter sauerkraut. this was by no means the case with mcbob's. i would rate the rueben a 12 out of 10. just a few other notes, it is a bar. the place is clean, but you are still in a bar so you have the noise and atmosphere of a bar. lastly, i live in indiana and visit milwaukee a few times a year. this was the first time i did my homework on restaurants and i just want to thank all the people who take time to do reviews. it makes it so easy to find these hidden gems and helps you to avoid places where they don’t really care about their food.

not very friendly when you call in a pick up order.

the corned beef was as good as advertised, the soup was delicious, and while the service (i thought) was a little sub par, it was fully understandable as the waiter was a busy guy with a lot of people coming into mcbob's to get food. as a place to hang out and have a beer with friends, mcbob's would be a great place to do so. but the food is what makes the place unique. and even though he is no longer with us, the spirit of bob rubner lives on at mcbob's.

love mcbob's!. we love brunch at mcbob's, but will gladly go back for dinner. the quality of food, the amount of food that you get for your $, really can't be beat. we enjoy the wait staff and how everyone makes you feel welcome. it is an out of the way little spot, but well worth the trip. the corned beef is the best in the city and the soda bread is as authentic as i have ever had it. i had their chili at a wmse cook off a year ago and it burned the taste buds in my mouth, but it hurt me so good! try the tacos, yes, you heard me right, the tacos (at an scots irish pub), they are stellar. if you are going for brunch have the mcginnity. yum!
