Mazos Hamburgers permanently closed after 90 years in Milwaukee
After 90 years in Milwaukee, Mazos Hamburgers has permanently closed.
The family that owns the south-side restaurant, at 3146 S. 27th St., made the announcement Sunday in a Facebook post.
The post read:
“After 90 years in business and three generations of our family’s service, we have made the difficult decision to close our doors. Due to the health and well-being needs of our family, we are unable to continue.
“We are extremely grateful to each and every one of you for your support throughout the years. It has been the greatest honor and our privilege to have served you!
“From our family to yours, we wish you all the best that life has to offer!”
Nearly 400 comments followed on the post, with sadness, praise and fond memories of the old-school diner, which opened in 1934.
Mazos frequently made lists of Milwaukee’s best burgers. In May, Journal Sentinel restaurant critic Rachel Bernhard praised its bacon cheeseburger:
“If there’s a blueprint for a classic American cheeseburger, they’re working from it at Mazos. … Their regular cheeseburger ($8.75, served with two sides) is a thing of simple beauty: patties made from fresh beef that’s ground daily, pressed in a uniform shape that matches the exact circumference of the glossy, toasted bun that softly crackles when you take a bite.
“You can order it plain, or choose to top with raw or fried onions, the fried version being just lightly caramelized enough to add slippery sweetness to the burger. That’s delicious enough, but I say go for the bacon cheeseburger ($9.95, served with two sides) to add some salty-smoky oomph to each bite.”
MILWAUKEE — The Milwaukee Police Department is investigating a shooting that occurred on early Sunday morning on the 4900 block of W. Capitol Drive that left one person injured.
An 18-year-old sustained non-life-threatening injuries and was transported to a local hospital for treatment.

Judge Michelle Havas sentenced Gladney to 29 years in prison on Friday, April 17. He was granted credit for more than a year’s time served and further sentenced to 14 years of extended supervision.
Arrested in Arizona after years on the run, court records show Gladney has also been ordered to pay the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office more than $1,800 for extradition costs.
Homicide investigation
The backstory:
The shooting happened in May 2020. Investigators said Gladney was captured on video apparently arguing with the victim, his cousin, outside a Milwaukee convenience store near 21st and Meinecke.
“It’s all on video, and it’s devastating for that family,” the marshal on the case told FOX6 when Gladney was profiled on Wisconsin’s Most Wanted. “You have a family member that shot and killed another family member.”

Prosecutors said Gladney walked away but then returned with a gun pointed directly at the victim and shot him. The victim died from his gunshot wounds at a nearby hospital. Multiple bullet casings were found at the scene.
Gladney went on the run for years. He was arrested in Arizona in January 2023, years after he was charged.
