The Landing

Reviews & Tips

  I was there on Saturday, February 23 at 8:00pm. The bartender was very friendly and promptly served us. My brother-in-law asked if the bartender had any jokes and he told two extremely racist jokes. One involved shooting black people and the other was about slavery. The bartender's defense was that those are the only jokes he's ever told. I will never return to The Landing.

  I've had fish fry's all over town, so needless to say I love fish.  Over 40 years of eating fish, I always had to have some sort of condiment with it, not at the Landing though, a condiment would destroy the flavor too much! Now granted I haven't tried the different fish dinners like perch or shrimp, but the beer battered cod with fries is beyond excellent, with fish this good I have no need to try the others. My wife always orders the shrimp and she seems to love it as much as I love the fish.
  
  The dinner comes with a generous portion of fish, fries, couple slices of rye bread and cole slaw...it fills me up and I'm a big eater, I will admit I usually order chicken fingers for an appetizer, and don't forget the barbeque sauce for the chicken fingers, I try to save enough sauce for dipping the fries.....as Mr. Food always said ooooooh it's so good!
  
  The only other menu item I've had here is the burgers, and they're above average to say the least. Menu is rather limited, but it is a bar afterall, and yes it does get quite noisy at times, but if you go during the warmer months you can dine outside on their deck.
  
  Can't believe the Packing House which is less than a mile up the road gets all the good reviews and so many customers, I've had their fish fry and I don't think it compares to The Landing!!

  I'm sure this place is a decent local to get a beer and socialize with your mates.
  
  But I noticed on the night that I was there that music was really loud.
  
  An older couple were trying to enjoy what appeared to be some decent pub food, but they seemed a bit put off by the volume of the classic rock. And loud it was. I found it odd that the Gov'nor wasn't aware of these two and their obvious discomfort with the canned music.
  
  It's loud, the regulars a bit crude, but the beer was cold and cheap.

  I enjoyed the rueben and the free pull-tab that determined the cost of my beer (I had to pay full price).

  I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised.  When we drove up, our expectations went down.  This is your basic bar, not a "pub".  It was not very busy, so we got outstanding service.  The appitizer combo platter was pretty danged good, had cheese balls, deepfried wonton wrapped mozz. sticks, fried mushrooms, and onion rings.  three dipping sauces came with it.  
  
  I had the steak sandwich, which was very good.  tender, not tough at all.  My wife had the marinated chicken breast sandwich, also very good.
  
  I have no complaints, and would go back there again.  But I'm telling you, don't expect anything more than a bar for the atmosphere, 'cause that's what your getting.

  Stopped in to test the claim on their sign saying they have "The Best Pizza on Layton".  (I could kick myself for not getting a pic!!)
  
  I must say, the pizza was pretty darn good.  Best?  Not sure I have had pizza from anywhere else on Layton, so for now, I will give it to them! It is not a typical bar frozen pizza that they throw in an old rusty, greasy pizza oven.  The crust was thin and crispy and the toppings all looked fresh.  We also had an order of wonton wrapped mozzarella sticks.  Also, very good!
  
  We went in on a Monday night, not realizing we were walking into Trivia Night.  The entire tavern was filled with people playing.  One woman sat at the end of the bar reading questions, and everyone had to write their answers on a piece of paper.  We didn't stay long enough to see who won, or even what the prize was.
  
  Now for the atmosphere:
  
  The bartender was a young guy, and very friendly.  Definitely made us feel welcome!  It appears to attract alot of regulars, much like any southside tavern.  When we first walked in, it felt as though all conversation stopped and they all just stared at us.  There was also a very distinct smell when I walked in, which I can only describe as smelling like my drunk uncle who survived his last 10 years eating only pickles and drinking Pabst Blue Ribbon.  I can only assume one of the regulars had been sitting there for quite some time.  
  
  Overall, pretty decent pizza for a tavern, extremely friendly service, but your typical south side tavern atmosphere.

  A great local spot close to the airport and adjacent to the I794 extension (heading downtown MKE).
  
  Tuesday Taco night is my favorite ($1 Tacos, soft shell or hard).
  
  I've been a regular customer for over 12 years, but now that Art is in charge it's much more fun - there's so many more people there now on my night off, and I go there because it's fun rather than just being close to home.
  
  It's also right next to blockbuster so you can pick up a DVD and have a few drinks - a great place to enjoy your downtime.
