My family and I have been fans of this place for years. There is a good reason why they remain in business with a cash-only policy while only being open certain times of the year. Traveling across the country I have not found a burger worthy of knocking the Nite Owl from my number one spot for burgers and Shakes. They are the only restaurant I have ever been to where when they are at their busiest and you are one of 30 people waiting for an order to go everyone has a smile on their face. I highly highly highly highly recommend this place to anybody looking for a great cheeseburger and an awesome atmosphere. I know its terrible for me but I eat here at least twice a week if not more.

Great food but this is the 3rd time we have called And instead of a message stating they have closed for the day you just get a busy tone. So weve driven there just to find out they are closed well before 6pm. Enough food should be prepared to atleast get you through the set hours.! Pretty disappointing lately. People say this restaurant is being driven into the ground and theyre right. People usually have burgers and fries for DINNER but you cant even get that with this restaurant been going there for years and recently have been VERY disappointed.

Years ago, I was told about Nite Owl & visited to find out. Fantastic!!! Stopped in recently & realized I should (& will now) be a regular patron whenever Im in the neighborhood. Hands down, the most fabulous, massive & juicy mushroom burgers on earth! Theyre just SO huge that on my next visit Ill back off & order just a plain cheeseburger. Im a "big" eater but even I cant pound down another mush/burger @ one sitting....spectacular fries/rings notwithstanding! Ill be 70 next year but in all my days Ive NEVER eaten @ a FINER DINER!

By far the best burgers anywhere!! Reasonable price. Make sure to carry cash as its a cash only restaurant. Been coming here since I was a small child & have introduced so many people to the restaurant who all love it as well. I look forward to when the weather starts warming up every year because that means its that much closer to Nite Owl being open for the season!

Delicious food, but shoot...are you guys EVER open? I mean...EVER? If you dont want to be open, certainly for hours that match the name of "Nite Owl", change your damn name or sell the restaurant and recipes to someone who WILL keep it open...I dont even bother with this place anymore...I got better ways to spend my gas.

Ive been going here since I was a kid back in the 80s. My father went here when he was a kid in the 60s. Absolutely awesome old school burger and ice cream joint. Just wish they extended their hours to 8pm during the week. Many times I get out of work at 6pm and crave a burger and malt but they are already closed.

It was amazing! Got the double bacon cheeseburger and it was ridiculous. I had the meat sweats eating it! Great little place. It is only open till they run out of burger patties, and they only take cash, so if those are problems, you should take yourself down the street to McD and stop being a robot consumer.

Awesome food and awesome place. If you want to visit Arnolds Drive In from Happy Days, this is it. It is still decorated with 50s memorabilia and they play fifties music. This is were the Bronze Fonz should be located instead of down town!

Got there 45 min. before closing and the closed signs were up all over the place with a sign on the door saying dont come in have run out. Not the first time this has happened wont bother going there again!

Love this place. Menu very limited, but they make it to order. Not the place to go if your in a hurry, but the wait is worth it. Burgers, fries, shakes and malts, etc. CASH ONLY!! Food is great!

one of the best places in milwaukee for burgers, this with mazos burgers across from leons custard gives the old fashioned feel. great burgers, ice cream is ok, service is good, fries are good!

Best burgers joint in town. These burgers are hand made on the spot! I love the mom and pop vibe the place gives too. Order the cheese and bacon combo, you wont regret it!

Best kept burger secret in MKE! Only open for part of the year and they prepare so many burger patties for the day and when theyre out, youre SOL. Worth a wait any day.

Made from scratch food and it shows. Go early. Many days 5:30 is too late! They use fresh beef in their burgers and when its gone for the day they close up.

The best burger this side of town hands down. It has taken me 5 years to figure out when the place is open, but alas I have completed my quest.

How are you going to have an establishment named Nite owl ice cream parlour if your closing time is 6pm? That makes no sense whatsoever.

Nite Owl is a Great place to eat. Burgers and appetizers are Yummy. Shakes are awesome. Could use a bigger straw. No one complains.

Best burgers in Milwaukee. Old school charm and taste. None of this crap the downtown places are passing off as a burger.
