Great service, great food. A lot of food, actually. We had to go boxes. The veggie omelet was great with the pancakes. Everyone in our party loved their food too. And Edith was amazing. We are coming back!
Stopped in on a Friday morning for breakfast, and they served! The staff were two attentive and sweet ladies who provided quick service. I ordered chilaquiles with steak and the fizz berry drink. Both 10/10. The avocado sauce, actually I'm not even sure what it was lol but it was hitting! Not a drop left.
We often stop here for breakfast. The atmosphere is calm and relaxing, and the food is consistently excellent. It’s a wonderful spot to enjoy a peaceful and satisfying morning meal.
I found out about Orenda just cruising through Google. I read the reviews and “WAS SOLD”. Please know - the reviews did not disappoint! This is such an awesome place. First, the place is so cute and incredibly clean. The staff was so friendly and kind. The way the staff interacted with the customers says a lot about the kindness of the management. LOVE IT! The food came out fast and hot. I had the salmon, spinach, mushrooms, potatoes, eggs and toast. Yes! That was all in one meal and it was AMAZING. The salmon was cooked to perfection. Did I forget to mention that my meal came with a side salad? Yes - it did!! My friend had the green eggs and ham with pancakes and waffle fries. It looked delicious. This is definitely a gem in the community. I’m so glad that I found this hidden treasure!
The food and service were great! We came to have brunch for Mother’s Day and we were all happy with our food and drinks! Definitely will visit again! I posted some of our orders. Chilaquiles and very berry pancakes.
Incredible gem on the south side! I grew up less than two blocks away and spent half my life in this neighborhood. My sister and I love to bring our former Southside friends to this restaurant to show it off. It blows them all away. The restaurant is very clean and modern. I have never had a bad meal there, everything is always excellent, reasonably priced and the service is amazing. The mimosas and bloodies are also incredible. The wait staff is amazing every time even with larger parties. This is truly one of the great brunch spots in Milwaukee, very underrated don't miss out I don't think you will be disappointed. I hope they stay open forever. Pictured below is the carnitas hash bowl
This was an amazing find! Started with Mango Habanero wings and they are probably the BEST wings we have ever had. They alone would be worth the one hour drive. Saturday 5 Bloody Marys were delicious as were the Veggie Cakes with Eggs and the innovative Spicy Rooster Salad. Servers were friendly, attentive, and thoughtfully offered a coffee in a to go cup at the end of our meal. Restaurant was really clean and tastefully decorated. A new favorite for sure!
We went for the first time. We were greeted right away. Excellent service from start to end. I tried the special Bloody Mary called Farmers Market Bloody. It was Dill infused vodka, house bloody mix, with house pickled asparagus and bacon as the garnish. We were informed the dill and asparagus were locally sourced. Let me tell you, I'm super picky when it comes to a good Bloody Mary. I'm pretty sure I found my new favorite Bloody Mary. You can taste the freshness in all the ingredients. I'm already looking forward to going back for another one. Fingers crossed the Farmers Market Bloody Mary gets added to the regular menu. The food was incredible. I had a pulled chicken pablano bowl with hollandaise and two over easy eggs on top. It was so tasty and very filling. It comes with either a side of toast or side pancakes. My boyfriend had the strawberry Nutella pancakes. Probably the best pancakes I ever tasted. The right amount of toppings. I would highly recommend this restaurant. I'm so glad we tried it today! We'll be back, because there's so many other things we want to try.
