Hales Corners Restaurants
Hales Corners Dining, Entertainment, and Attractions
The Village of Hales Corners is located in Milwaukee County, Wisconsin, and offers valuable resources for both residents and visitors alike. A large central shopping area, excellent schools, the Hales Corners Park and Pool, Whitnall Park and its world-famous Boerner Botanical Gardens, and Wehr Nature Center are all shared with bordering communities. These highlights, plus the ready access to the freeway system, promote the reputation of the Village as being “a great place to live” and visit.
For eating in Hales Corners, you will find everything from take-and-bake Papa Murphy's pizza and McDonald's to exclusive restaurants like Open Flame, Finn McGuire's, That's Amore, The Hale House, Ann's Italian Restaurant, Clifford's Supper Club, and the famous, historic Bosch Tavern. There are many other options in between to please just about anyone.
If you're looking for somewhere to visit, then you must try Whitnall Park, the jewel of Milwaukee County’s park system. It was created by the vision and skills of Charles B. Whitnall, the man known as the father of the Milwaukee County park system. Its 660 acres feature formal gardens, arboretum, 18-hole golf course, archery range, trails for hiking and cross-country skiing, toboggan slide, and ice skating pond, as well as children’s play areas and picnicking facilities. About one-third of the park lies in Hales Corners.
A major attraction of the park is the world-famous Boerner Botanical Gardens. The 50-acre formal gardens include a perennial mall, herb garden, annual garden, rock garden, and shrub mall. Seasonal displays of wild flowers, tulips, crabapples, peonies, iris, roses, and daylilies are commonly found here every year. Special events include Boerner in Bloom in June and summer concerts in the gardens. Within the boundaries of Whitnall Park is the Wehr Nature Center. This facility provides year-round nature programs, including many activities for families with young children. Other parks within the Village provide a variety of additional recreational opportunities. Hales Corners Park features baseball diamonds, playfields, walking paths, picnic areas, ice-skating in winter, and both adult and kiddie pools. Village-owned Schoetz Park offers an annually-stocked fishing pond, youth baseball through the Whitnall Youth Baseball Association, and other recreational programs for children and teens.
If you're interested in history, you might want to know that W. Ben Hunt, internationally known as an artist and writer, built a cabin in Hales Corners in 1924. That cabin, which now shares the site of the Hales Corners Library, features Native American artifacts collected by Hunt as well as his writings for Boys Life Magazine and the crafts he passed on to the Boy Scouts. The Hales Corners Historical Society sponsors periodic workshops that teach moccasin making, whittling, and beading. Nearby is the Hale Summer Kitchen and its adjacent displays, which depict the agricultural lifestyle of the area about 1850. The Milwaukee County Historical Society has designated both of these sites as official historical landmarks.

Milwaukee Fish Fry
Places To Enjoy a Great Fish Fry in Milwaukee
The Friday fish fry is one of Milwaukee's most cherished and distinctive traditions. In fact, visit most other cities and ask where to get the "best fish fry," and you're likely to be met with a blank stare. The Friday fish fry stems from Catholic tradition, which forbids the consumption of meat on Fridays during Lent. Fish fries became an easy way to avoid meat while enjoying a night out and eating affordably. The tradition grew from there, providing Milwaukee families an opportunity to go out to dinner without breaking the bank.
Most places in town have fish fries, and this guide couldn't possibly cover them all; but after much searching, asking and eating, here are some of the best places in the city to catch a fish fry.

Milwaukee Restaurant Reviews
Milwaukee Restaurant Reviews – A Guide to Finding and Posting Reviews about Milwaukee-area Restaurants
Planning to eat out in Milwaukee and unsure of where you want to go? Or perhaps you have already eaten out and now want to leave a review telling people about your latest experiences at a Milwaukee-area restaurant. Whichever the case may be, first you’ll need to find yourself a restaurant review website with a section specifically for restaurants in the greater Milwaukee area.
That’s where this guide will come in handy. Not only will it provide you with links to a few of the more popular restaurant review websites, but it will also tell you some of the features you can expect to find on each one. By reading below you will also learn what to expect from each of the websites if you plan on posting a review of your own.
TripAdvisor
www.tripadvisor.com
TripAdvisor offers reviews about a number of places around the world with a large portion of their site dedicated strictly to restaurants. Milwaukee-area restaurants are well represented on the site – so well represented, in fact, that the site includes reviews of over 500 restaurants in the city of Milwaukee alone. Another 300+ Milwaukee restaurants are already on the site and waiting for their first review. Unfortunately, it isn’t possible to group all restaurants from the greater Milwaukee area into one search, so if you want to view restaurants in areas beyond the city of Milwaukee itself, you’ll have to perform separate searches for each city.
If you’d like to write your own review about a Milwaukee-area restaurant, first find the restaurant you’d like to review and from its detail page, click ‘Write a Review’. On the review page you will be asked to fill out various mandatory information, like which overall rating you would give the restaurant using a 1 to 5 star ranking system. You are also asked to write a review (which must be at least 100 characters long) and to select your type of visit, be it a couples, family, friends, business, or solo visit. You will also need to state the month in which you visited the restaurant.
As for optional information, you can give 1 to 5 star ratings for the restaurant’s service, food, value, and atmosphere, plus you can provide a generalized idea about the cost per person. There is also a short check list where you can state whether the restaurant has any special features. These include things like taking reservations, having outdoor seating, providing a scenic view, etc. You may also upload some photos of the restaurant if you so choose.
To read and post reviews about Milwaukee restaurants on TripAdvisor please visit their section made specifically for Milwaukee restaurant reviews: www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurants-g60097-Milwaukee_Wisconsin.html
Urbanspoon
www.urbanspoon.com
Urbanspoon is a popular restaurant review website that features a large number of reviews dedicated to Milwaukee-area restaurants. Unlike TripAdvisor, Urbanspoon does allow you to group the reviews by restaurants located in the greater Milwaukee area, but if you prefer, you can limit the reviews to restaurants located in central Milwaukee or specific Milwaukee-area neighborhoods.
There are many options when posting restaurant reviews on Urbanspoon. First, you can choose to post a blogger review. This is perfect if you’ve already reviewed the restaurant on your blog. To post a blogger review, simply pull up the restaurant’s detail page and scroll down to the section labeled ‘Blogger Reviews’. Once you click ‘Add your review’, you will be given a choice of four images you can add to your blog’s restaurant review post. Add any one of these images to your post and Urbanspoon will automatically link to your blog’s review on their website.
Below the blogger reviews, you will find a section called ‘Diner Reviews’. You’ll need to make an account with the site if you want to add a diner review, but the process is quick and painless and requires only an email address and password. Once you’ve created an Urbanspoon account, you’ll be able to immediately write your review of the restaurant, add which menu item you ate, and upload a photo. Adding the menu item and photo isn’t required when posting a review.
There is also a place where you can vote either ‘I like it’ or ‘I don’t’ near the top of the page which doesn’t require you to make an account.
Please visit one or more of the following pages to read and post reviews about Milwaukee-area restaurants on Urbanspoon:

www.urbanspoon.com/g/43/3601/Milwaukee/Greater-Milwaukee-restaurants
Yelp
www.yelp.com
The first thing you’ll notice once you visit the Milwaukee restaurants section of Yelp is that you are asked to narrow down the results by selecting your preferred type of cuisine – barbeque, burgers, fast food, Italian, etc. Unfortunately, not all types of cuisine have Milwaukee-area restaurants listed, though most do. You can also filter the results by a number of things including the restaurant’s neighborhood, features, and price. If you prefer not to refine your results, simply scroll down to see an unfiltered list of Milwaukee restaurants. Here you can click through to any restaurant’s detail page to see its reviews.
To post your own review on the website, visit the restaurant’s detail page and click on the button labeled ‘Write a Review’. There aren’t many options when reviewing a restaurant on Yelp and you’ll only be asked to give your overall rating of the restaurant (between 1 and 5 stars) and to type in your actual review. If you don’t currently have a Yelp account, you will be asked to sign up before posting your review of the restaurant.

Hopefully this guide will help you to find and post reviews about restaurants located in the greater Milwaukee area. To ensure that you get the most complete idea about any restaurant you find interesting, it’s always a good idea to check out a number of different review sites so you can read opinions from a larger number of people who have recently visited the restaurant. On the same token, to ensure that your opinion about a specific restaurant reaches the most possible people, it can also be well worth visiting a number of restaurant review websites when you wish to share your experiences.
