What People Are Saying About Ma Fischer's Family Restaurant
The Editor

The Scene – Since 1947, this has been one of Milwaukee's favorites for traditional coffee-shop cooking. Open 24 hours, seven days a week, there's always an interesting crowd--especially after the bars close down. A fire burned down the original Ma Fischer's, but the re-built place opened in the summer of 2003. It's now larger, with a distinctly separated smoking section. – – The Food – Breakfast is served here all day and night long. Omelets and meat-and-egg dishes get most of the attention--be sure to keep an eye on the daily specials board as you walk in (don't miss…

Stay away from Ma Fischer's Family Restaurant in Milwaukee!
by jerryb2020
We usually go 2-3 times per month. No longer. They screwed up a simple order of eggs, so my wife sent it back. It came back again, unsatisfactory. So, she decided not to have a meal and simply wait for me to finish my meal. However, the restaurant manager insisted that we pay for the order, even though we did not eat it. The manager insisted he was right, we were wrong and how dare us question their egg making ability. He was extremely condecending. There was even mention of calling the police (!?). So, I made a very simple suggestion: He can either remove the $7.00 meal from the bill and we can continue as customers OR I will pay for the uneaten meal and make this our last visit. He then politely told us that he would remove it from our bill, but does NOT want our future patronage. So, that is that! Frankly, neither us is heart broken, as the food is not that great anyway.
- Pros: It is open 24 hours per day.
- Cons: Everything else

Don't need the soup
by Franksville
Good food, but sometimes too much. Don't need soup with every meal and most meals come with it. Service is a little slow, but it's usually busy when I am there.
- Pros: Good food, comfortable atmosphere
- Cons: Soup with every meal, slow service

Very RUDE to POLICE and Employees!!!!
by cats1usa
It has been my experience, over the past 20+ years, that the food is ok, prices a bit high for quality, and the Management downright RUDE to Both Help and Police/Parking enforcment. I have witnessed first hand The owner, Georgie Panos and his Son, Peter Panos, chewing out the help in front of customers, and the later, Peter Panos, throwing full soda bottles at Parking Enforcers and Police.
For the quality of food, go to Mc D's, it's cheaper and less stressful for the customers. Service is okay, and every few years they have a fire to remodel the restaurant. There are much better choices for late night or daytime feeding.
- Pros: Good in a pinch, seats crowded
- Cons: RUDE management!
