Ward's House of Prime

If there's a hidden gem restaurant in Milwaukee, without question it's Ward's House of Prime. I'm always down for a Prime Rib whenever available, and they absolutely win every time on delivering an excellent prime rib. Last time I was here the restaurant was totally empty on a weekend, very quiet with no loud music and good soundproofing from the bar area out front. I have no idea why this restaurant was empty. The service was phenomenal, the drinks were amazing and the food is stellar with very reasonable prices on food even for how expensive Prime Rib can be. Easily my stand outs are the Prime Rib (of course), the stellar Pork Belly appetizer, and the scallops on the side. I also enjoyed the chocolate cake dessert which was so phenomenal, very rich with lots of chocolate. My dad enjoy

I was in Milwaukee and finally had a chance to dine at Ward's House of Prime, and it was wonderful. I haven't had a prime rib this good in years. You can get larger cuts, but I settled for the 24 oz. cut. The prime rib had a beefy and succulent flavor through the entire tender slab. Real prime rib taste with a perfectly savory crust. I highly recommend a stop here if you're in town. Comes with soup or salad and a potato, nice to see no charge extras at a high end restaurant. Excellent service.

Great experience at Wards! The staff was attentive but not overbearing. Great recommendations for the apps & the specials. I usually eat at the bar, but this time we were in the back room which is a much quieter vibe for one-on-one conversations. The aged steaks are phenomenal & the prime rib is second to none! The Lobster bisque is the best I’ve had in Milwaukee. Highly recommend the cocktails as well- they’re well balanced & there’s something for everyone.

The food was excellent. The service was great, and the atmosphere was welcoming. I had Lobster bisque, 16 oz prime rib with three seared scallops. That was the special. I also had mashed potatoes. All were delicious. I was full, so I got carrot cake to bring home. And, that was good too. Our server Tim was friendly.
