At Black Shoe Hospitality, our guests feel like the most important people in the room because of the incredible team members standing behind our counters, kitchens, and tables.
This month, we are incredibly proud to honor our latest Black Shoe Big Shots:
👟 Kaitlyn Munger – Maxie’s ()
👟 Jaime Zomors – Blue’s Egg + Bakery ()
👟 Vivian Alvarez – Story Hill BKC ()
We also want to give a massive round of applause to Vivian for achieving a Black Shoe first: winning back-to-back Big Shot awards at two of our different restaurants 👏🏆

Thank you, Kaitlyn, Jaime, and Vivian, for your outstanding leadership, high energy, and commitment to making every dining experience memorable. 🖤

This is what Milwaukee does.
Supper clubs. Friday nights. Baseball.

Big thanks to ESPN Milwaukee for highlighting the launch of Supper Club Fridays at American Family Field—and catching Chef Joe doing his thing.

Chef Joe and the crew brought supper club to the ballpark.

We partnered with the Milwaukee Brewers to create Supper Club Fridays at American Family Field—built around the kind of food and drinks that define Wisconsin.

Catch it on select City Connect Fridays all season.

Big news for Milwaukee.

Last night we were at the Michelin announcement, and it’s official—Milwaukee is part of the new Great Lakes region.

The inspectors are already here. Quietly dining. Taking notes. Looking for what makes this place special.

We’ve always believed in this city. The restaurants. The people. The way a great meal can be anything—from a quick lunch to a full-on celebration.

That’s what we’ll keep doing.
High-quality food. Real hospitality. A place for any occasion and every budget.

Congrats to all the restaurants across Milwaukee and the Great Lakes region. This is a big moment.

2027 can’t come soon enough.

Brian Kramp from FOX6 News Milwaukee stopped by to take a look at what we’ve been up to — new menu items, Pearl Rouge oysters, Happiest Happy Hour, and a freshened-up Maxie’s. Watch the segments, then come see it in person.

For nearly 20 years Maxie's has been known to deliver on great food and fun events, but it was time for an upgrade. Brian Kramp is checking out some of the changes you can find at Wauwatosa's home for southern cooking.
