Black Shoe Hospitality

Black Shoe represents the thoughtful preparation and honest hard work behind the genuine hospitality of its Milwaukee-area restaurants: Maxie's, Blue's Egg, Story Hill BKC, and Buttermint Finer Dining & Cocktails. Black Shoe operates its own Black Shoe Bakery, servicing its restaurants and retail clients, and creating desserts and artisanal breads. Black Shoe Catering brings inspiration from its restaurants to parties, weddings, and events throughout Southeastern Wisconsin. Black Shoe Hospitality has been named to the Journal-Sentinel's Top Workplaces since 2015. All of our restaurants enjoy regular billing on the "best of" lists from the Shepherd Express, Milwaukee Magazine, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, OnMilwaukee.com, Yelp, and TripAdvisor.
