Three Brothers Serbian Restaurant

Three Brothers Serbian Restaurant (2414 S St Clair St, Milwaukee, WI 53207) was opened in 1954[1] (other sources say 1955[2]) by Milun Radicevic in the Bay View section neighborhood of Milwaukee. He named the restaurant after his three sons who were still living in Yugoslavia.[3]

History

Branko Radicevic came to the U.S. a few years after his father and in 1972 joined the family business.[4]

The restaurant "is housed in a historic Schlitz tavern, a location Milun selected 60 years ago" and was "an award-winning restaurant known for its Serbian fare and homey ambience."[5]

Originally called Big Mike's because Milun's name was Americanized to Mike, Milun had owned two restaurants in Yugoskavia as well as other food industry businesses.[6]

Honors

Carol Deptolla named the restaurant several times in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Top 30. They have "been featured in Bon Appétit magazine, now-defunct Gourmet magazine, and on the Food Network."[7] In 2002 they won a James Beard Foundation Award as an American Classic,[8] a prestigious list of “eateries that have carved out a special place on the American culinary landscape”[9] "which recognizes regional, often family-owned establishments that exemplify quality food, local character and lasting appeal."[10]
