El Greco

We use to make this a regular stop for breakfast, and that was many years ago. What has happened to that El Greco? While I found the staff friendly, the food was very disappointing. We came for lunch and the portions were small, not worth the price! Ordered a sandwich, no cole slaw, no pickles, The soup was extra and not very good. No bread basket or crackers.
Will not return to this restaurant. Can’t believe the good reviews! apparently these people did not know the old El Greco.

Been here a few times, service is always super friendly, and fast. A great selection. Always a great meal that fills you up. Always more than enough to eat. All the times we have been here never a disappointment. So other than that I give it a thumbs up. Whether you are alone or with a big family they can accommodate you. Did I mention reasonable prices too

Never had experience there before but today December 24, 2015 was the worst time ever they serve me process fish and when I sent it back they gave me and over cook crack hotdog

Price vs quality vs taste makes El Greco one of the most solid breakfast places in the Milwaukee area. The sour dough toast is dense and hearty, not that wimpy light kind. The sausage patties are zesty and flavorful, not the bland kind. The eggs and hash browns are always perfect.
After my 5 or 6 visit here I am always impressed by the consistency and quality of the food.
The service is always wonderful and the whole breakfast experience is alleyways great.

Great food @great prices. Breakfast all day in addition to lunch and dinner menus. We typically go here for brunch and food is always fast and delicious. Typical Greek & American cuisine. Open 24hours! Why have I driven past this great place for so long?

Two stars for cleanliness and décor. If you like large potions this place is for you. They don’t have a healthy menu if that’s something you’re looking for fresh veggies, fruits or smoothies. Its a meat eaters crowd over weight unhealthy in appearance clientele mostly family style environment typical diner. Some where to take your grandparents not place for Millennials.

One of the many privately-​owned Greek Family Restaurants in the greater Milwaukee area, this one is attractive, clean, comfortable, friendly and has many, many well-​prepared choices at reasonable prices. We’ve eaten here a number of times and usually take half of the order home because the entrees are very generous. Recently had two stuffed cabbage rolls, an Eastern European specialty, but El Greco had inserted it’s own Greek touch with unusual seasonings. The breads served with the meal are interesting, corn bread and challah. You can return often and always find either a unique special or something as yet untried on the menu. Not gourmet, but comfort food ad its best.

Faster service than McDonald’s, for as fast as it came out I was surprised it was so good.

Stopped in today to get some soup for my son who is ill. When I looked at the menu a bowl of soup cost $ 3.50. The girl at the desk wanted to charge me $ 4.50. She said the extra dollar was for tax. Who the fuck charges $ 1.00 tax on a $ 3.50 purchase? I also asked for two pieces of challah bread which they are known for, and I got two pieces. One piece cut in half. The service here SUCKS and I WILL NEVER COME BACK!!!

Routine stop-​off after work with my colleague and friend… Great service always, the only negative was one experience with poor patrons and had nothing to do with staff…
Great place locally, essentially halfway between work and home.

Place is a staple of Milwaukee. LARGE variety of food! Friendly people and atmosphere. Lot of wonderful Greek Food and American Cuisine. Mediterranean Fish was OUTSTANDING. Would come back to eat here again!

I love this place and I always go back for more! The food is great and the portions are unbelievable. The waitresses are very nice. I recommend this place to anyone that likes big portions and leave restaurants feeling satisfied.

Not awesome.

I visited in 1998 and I had breakfast, we’ll the sausage were so big they scared me, i guess that is why I never went back!

Just recently they made the news…
I read their article and was shocked to hear what they tried doing to customers…
regarding the fact there is no reason for their mistakes
I hope your aware what just happened to EL Greco.
here’s a link to the article

Best breakfast in town hands down. While Greek family restaurants are plentiful in Milwaukee, I feel this one has the biggest and best menu, and somehow the majority of the food still tastes fantastic. They have great soups, great bakery, great specials. And on top of all that, it’s also one of the few quality restaurants that’s open 24 hours. For breakfast, they have awesome omelettes and huge waffles. For lunch and dinner, they have some good burgers, gyros, and great lamb chops. You really can’t go wrong with this place. I have absolutely no complaints whatsoever. Wonderful staff and service!

Our waitress was very friendly and helpful. I ordered the gyro plate, and my boyfriend ordered the fajitas. Was a little disappointed that my gyros didn’t have the cheese that I’m accustomed to being with them, but otherwise it was great. my boyfriend was very happy with the fajitas, while I was embarrassed as hell when they came out because the plate was loudly sizzling and smoking for at least five minutes after it arrived. all around decent atmosphere, although I’m wondering if the one rotting corn on the cob that was sitting on the windowsill was supposed to be there.

I’ve been here about 15 times with my aunt. The staff knows her very well and they are very personable with us. They take a lot of crap from angry and demanding customers (let’s be honest, my aunt can be this way), yet the wait staff remains very patient and takes care of you all the same.
The Hawaiian omelette is a good option if you enjoy pineapple in pizza or other random dishes. Huge portions and tasty ($ 7.95). Coffee is always so-​so but I’m used to more high end coffee anyway. Don’t be deceived, it’s not Greek food. Anytime I tell a friend I went here, they think it’s greek. They basically have EVERY type of food, and they somehow do a good job making all of it.

My friends and I were in Milwaukee. Some of us were hungover. Some of us weren’t. Thus, we couldn’t eat total crap, but we needed some good hangover food before the Cubs/​Brewers game. El Greco delivered.
First of all, we were seated immediately on a Sunday morning. A group of six. Seated immediately. This place is huge. Cups and saucers were already at the table, so we were served coffee as soon as we sat down and said, «Uh, yes please.»
Everyone ordered an omelet of some kind, and everyone was more than satisfied. The food and out quickly. It was so hot and fresh that you could actually see the cheese melting as it sat in front of you.
Prices are reasonable, the menu is large, and the service is top notch.

As Joe G. mentioned earlier, Greek family restaurants are plentiful in Milwaukee. You are guaranteed a large variety of food in generous amounts, served round-​the-​clock on a consistent basis from year to year; from the first time visiting, to the last time there, with excellent service and a pleasant atmosphere.
My friend and I split the beer battered mushrooms as an appetizer and we each had the cheeseburger and fries. The burger was big enough to bring half of it home and came with lettuce, tomato, a dill pickle spear, coleslaw, mayo on the side, and with sliced raw red onions on request. You can add a bowl of hot french fries for only a dollar.
My only complaint was that the beer battered mushroom appetizer was kinda skimpy for the cost which consisted of 8 mushrooms for around $ 4.99. It came with Ranch dressing and Marinara sauce on the side, but as my friend mentioned, «Well hey, it comes on a bed of lettuce!»
Aside from the mushrooms, I’m very sure I’ll be back because you know it’s a, «no lose situation» if you ever take a chance on any of the Greek family restaurants.
Next time… Breakfast!!!
