It wasn’t notably seasoned, so it relied fairly solidly on the toppings to bolster its meaty flavor. Such was the case at On the Clock, where the thick burger was uniformly shaped with visible grill marks on both sides. It seems cooked-to-order burgers are a rare delight in Milwaukee, as I find more and more that when I order mine mid-rare, they always seem to arrive medium-well. My one potential complaint is that the bun was soft enough that it flattened easily when grasped, making it a bit doughy by the end of the burger eating experience. It’s appropriately sized, quite soft and nicely toasted, offering an appropriate cradle for the half-pound burger and plentiful toppings. In fact, in this case, the standard bakery bun stays out of the way and simply does its job. The bun isn’t the real charmer of this burger. All of that is next to a generous portion of skin-on fries and a triad of thick-cut pickles. Toppings lay on one side, while the burger patty topped with melted cheese and crisp bacon lay on the other. And I ordered up the Big Guy, a half-pound Angus beef burger topped with bacon, American cheese, lettuce, onion and Thousand Island dressing ($8.50).Īlthough I pulled the burger together for its OnMilwaukee photographic debut, it comes to the table splayed open, proudly displaying its embarrassment of riches. On our latest visit, we stopped by for lunch. The hospitality is rich as well, and a trip to On the Clock – whether for lunch, dinner or drinks – is likely to leave you satiated in a variety of ways. And you can’t miss the focal point: an impressive carved wood bar.

Leaded glass windows are original to the building, along with carved gum-wood paneling and arches. In fact, a step into On the Clock offers up as much a taste of history as it does modern convenience. And despite numerous owners and identities over the years, the building still retains many of the details of its rich past. Since 1903, the building on the corner of Howell and Bolivar Avenues has been a gathering place for folks from the area. Where have we been? Check out the complete catalog of burger reviews here.
