The service we got was outstanding and the food was delicious every bite of the burgers was a burst of flavor that’s all I can say we definitely plan to go back.

━ THE STORY

A Peek Into How North Star Got Started

If you ask Mike and Duffy, they’ll tell you they had a couple of beers, found a place, and the rest is history. Those things did happen, but there’s much more to the story. Duffy and Mike have been in the restaurant industry for many years and their paths finally crossed while working for a restaurant group in Milwaukee. After the previously mentioned beers, they found a location in Shorewood—just across the street from where you may be seated now if you’re in Shorewood—and, on a shoestring budget, launched the first North Star American Bistro. Although the Shorewood location has since closed, it marked the humble beginnings of North Star. Read More
