Steve and Laurie won us over from the moment we first set foot in this place. We got to taste a bunch of different items from the menu and assemble a buffet out of them. Steve really worked his magic in the kitchen. I particularly loved the bite sized burgers while my wife picked the Swedish meatballs and BBQ bacon-wrapped water chestnuts as her favorites. Laurie stepped us through a bunch of options for our special day to make the atmosphere just right. The whole planning process felt really professional and not nearly as overwhelming as we'd expected. Since our October wedding made rain a possibility, Laurie made sure to plan for both an outside and inside ceremony to keep things flexible. During the reception, staff members occasionally reminded us of things on the to-do list (cake cutting, first dance etc.) to help everything go over smoothly. Last but not least, the venue has a cute gazebo out by the side yard that makes for perfect photo shoots after the ceremony. We both loved our wedding, and Emerald City did so much to make it special! ♥

Steve and Laurie were so helpful. the food was delicious. when they asked what we wanted we simply said " to get drunk an eat tacos" the taco buffet bar was exactly what i wanted. they were accommodating. they made food to our specific tastes an diets. to the point they were sweet enough to make left overs for my husband and i to have later that night. if i were to do it again id hire them in a heartbeat

There's no place like the Emerald City. From the ruby red shoes to the Cowardly Lion with positive messages out front you will enjoy this trip to Oz. The chef behind the curtain is fantastic. The food has a variety of textures and flavors that will tickle your taste buds. This is a lovely family restaurant were you can enjoy your meal and here everybody's conversation at the table. This is a perfect restaurant for people you need to use hearing aids because you don't have to turn them off to hear the conversation at the table. The tables are wide enough and long enough to fit the food on without feeling claustrophobic. This is truly a restaurant of the community as they contribute on a Sunday buffet on the first Sunday of every month you are able whatever you can afford and all the proceeds that day get donated to the hunger task force of Milwaukee. They are well known for they're excellent catering outside the restaurant itself For Weddings, corporate,fiesta de quince años, and celebration of life occasions. Large parking lot for ease of coming and going it is located on 13th Street in the 3800 block across from the st. Albert Cemetery. There is a full-service bar that is separate from the restaurant . Really cool feature is a gazebo for wedding pictures and other pictures for fun and making memories. Hannah is a fantastic waitress she make sure your needs are met but she's not interrupting your conversations. If you ask Hannah do you think I could have.... she will go back behind the curtain and see if Oz has that available and there it is and wink of an eye on the table. if you like broasted chicken this is the place for you there's more than enough food on your plate and it's the perfect blend of crispy yet it doesn't cut the roof of your mouth. The potato pancakes are served with everybody's Heritage in mine there's toppings of maple syrup or applesauce. But what is so lovely about them is that it has a texture of crispy and soft plus there are real chives in them, not dried out from a jar. But everybody Raves about the fish I can't tell you about it other than my friends ate every last thing on their plate as I am allergic to fish and they paid attention to that and made sure that my food was not in any contact this is something that most restaurants will not do or pay attention to. So if your allergy-prone this is the place for you!! So take some time away from Kansas and spend a little time at the Emerald City.
