Heirloom MKE is a farm-to-table New American restaurant in Milwaukee's Bay View neighborhood helmed by husband-and-wife team Pete and Jess, who prioritize scratch-made dishes crafted from local, seasonal ingredients.
What began as a food truck in 2020 has evolved into a brick-and-mortar restaurant while the truck continues operating throughout the greater Milwaukee area. The restaurant's welcoming vibe emphasizes community and connection, with chef-driven plates and craft cocktails that showcase the owners' commitment to supporting local farms and purveyors. The space feels intimate and intentional, reflecting the passion behind every dish.
Open Wednesday through Saturday from 4-9pm, Heirloom MKE has earned recognition in local media for its creative approach to New American cuisine, including features in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and Milwaukee Magazine. Their popular Friday fish fry and signature burrata dishes draw regulars and newcomers alike, with reservations recommended though walk-ins are always welcome. The restaurant strikes a balance between approachable comfort food and culinary innovation, making it a neighborhood gem worth seeking out.
