Bombers. A restaurant the we learned of from the weirdest source.
The story:
When searching for "things to do", I had read about an amazing pizza truck called Streetza and how it was suggested that one contacts them to check exactly where they are parked when in search of the best pizza in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. So I looked them up on Facebook (I learned from J not to talk over the phone and rather use electronic ways to communicate with people...) and I message them.
Here is the actual message exchange.

Hi, we are visiting from California and read about you. Are you open today? If so, where do we find you? Thanks!
We're honored you travelled all the way from California just to try our food. 😉
:)
Just because of you we are here!
Are you guys open today?
Unfortunately we're not open today for the public. We have a graduation party that we're cater
Catering
In northern Illinois
When are you in town until?
On no! Bummer! 😢 You will now need to drive all the way to Cali. I must try your pizza!!!
We are leaving tomorrow morning...
The delivery charge would be horrible. 😉
Hopefully we weren't the only reason you're in town. Are you staying downtown? We can suggest some great restaurants l.
Hahahah 🙂 You are right! We are staying close to the harley davidson museum and I'd love a recommendation for a good restaurant. Nothing fancy though please. My teens haven't developed the necessary taste buds to enjoy that kind of food yet 😉
How about a great hamburger place?
works!
AJ Bombers has the best burgers in Milwaukee.
done! Thanks a lot! Enjoy Illinois and hopefully will see you one day in Cali or somewhere else!!
If you ask for Peter after 2, there will a special treat from Streetza waiting for your family.
Thank you for hunting us down. How'd you hear of us all the way out in California if you don't mind me asking?
And hopefully you're really in town for Summerfest.
We are rving cross country (6 weeks) and I search online for places to visit. In one of the sites, they recommended Streetza. I normally google "visit XXX" and that's how I also found you. Can't remember specifically which site it was...
Headed to AJ Bombers. Will ask for Pete after 2. Thanks for the treat!!!! 🙂
Do you know if we can park our 30' RV there while we eat?
There are two large parking lots. One north of Juneau and one on Water. Both are right across the street from the restaurant.
With Summerfest, they may be charging more than normal, which is usually $5
You may luck out and find a street spot as well.
Perfect! Thanks a lot!!!!
Arrived!

How was lunch? 🙂

It was good! We loved the decoration and all the peanut delivery system! And Peter gave us some custard to taste! Thanks for the recommendation!!!
Simply amazing. J and I were cracking up with this exchange. Who would have imagined that the pizza guys would have responded so wonderfully! I love technology!!!!!!
By the way, the food wasn't good I must say, but the place was awesome. Here are some pics.
Upon one's entrance, the first thing that you see is this "peanut delivery machine" which delivers peanuts in their shell to different corners of the restaurant where one can take as much as he wishes from them.
The tables as you can see, are a canvas for art to be created in the most unique ways. Aka: engrave your name at the table!
The chairs, are literally bombs. Look at the design.
And yes, it is customary in this place to deposit the shells of your peanuts on the ground. Aka: just throw them to the ground!
And to imprint your personal signature on the peanut delivery system, tables (as mentioned before) and walls.
Of course we followed the customs of the place and did our part too :)
Awesome place.
