Today, my family and I had the pleasure of stopping by before the Marquette basketball game, and our experience was so exceptional that I felt compelled to share it. The atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming, perfectly setting the tone for the game ahead, and the beautiful Christmas decorations added an extra touch of festive cheer. The food was outstanding, and our server, Hannah, went above and beyond to make our visit even more enjoyable. Her service was truly top-notch, and I would highly recommend requesting her section if you're fortunate enough to visit while she's working. We will certainly be making this our go-to spot before any Bucks or Marquette games—this place is truly top-tier!
Good visit. Now keep in mind we stopped in when there was no Bucks game going on so it wasn't all that busy. The server was good and stopped by just enough. We had the Mecca Burger and sampler. The fried cheese curds were some of the best I've ever had, the chicken fingers were fantastic, o rings and fries were just OK. Mecca Burger was simple but pretty darn good. Beer selection is pretty weak.
We stopped at the Bucks Pro shop on a day when there was no game. The area as a whole was quiet. We were the only customers in the Mecca. We got great service and the food was amazing. The Smash Burger was great and I enjoyed every bite.
Great place to watch the game. Great customer service and atmosphere. To go beer and cocktails served here
Fell upon this restaurant before going to the Bucks game. The wait to get a table was about 15 minutes. To get the food, about 20 min which was impressive seeing the amount of patrons. The food was much better than I expected. Everything was fresh, hot, delicious and fairly affordable.
An all around great experience. Sports atmosphere, excellent food, and down to earth customer service. They made this southern girl feel right at home. Definitely would recommend this gem.
Came here for a beer before the Bucks game. The setup is fantastic. So many screens to watch different sports. The beer was pricey but I expected that for a premium location in downtown. Service was great at the upstairs bar. Didn’t get to try the food offerings.
We came into town for a convention at the bed center, and the opening party was here at the Mecca bar. They really catered for us, the food was great, and the atmosphere was fantastic. There is lots of room here, and I no one game days for basketball this place goes a little crazy. we recommend coming here before a game and enjoy the atmosphere.
