Milwaukee Cheese Curds
In the Dairyland’s largest city the roads run yellow and white with gooey cheese. Whether it's fried or it squeaks, cheese curds are everywhere you look, and no one is complaining.
What Makes This a Milwaukee Staple?
Cheese curds have long been a delicacy throughout the state of Wisconsin, but Milwaukee has made it something of an experience. You can find fresh squeaky cheese curds, fried cheese curds, and everything in between. Milwaukee has taken a simple afternoon treat and made it into a must try appetizer!
Uniquely Milwaukee Cheese Curds!

Pancake Battered Cheese Curds
Black Sheep MKE
One of the most unique takes on cheese curds can be found at Black Sheep MKE. Their brunch-style pancake batter cheese curds are fresh from Clock Shadow Creamery, deep-fried in pancake batter, dusted with a layer of powdered sugar, and served with a side of maple syrup. This sweet and savory treat is a must try if you find yourself looking for food in the Walkers Point neighborhood!
