Three Brothers
Best Old-World Restaurant in Milwaukee · WI
Serbian home cooking in a Schlitz tavern
Three Brothers has served Serbian home cooking from a former Schlitz tavern in Milwaukee's Bay View since 1954. The Radicevic family plates burek, chicken paprikash, and goulash in a warm, old-world room that feels frozen in amber — cash or check only, reservations wise.
A James Beard America's Classic, Three Brothers is a genuinely singular Milwaukee institution: three generations of the same family cooking the food of the old country, unchanged and unhurried.
