New 'Comfort Food' Restaurant Planned For Wauwatosa

WAUWATOSA, WI — The owner of Milwaukee's Daddy's Soul Food and Grille is hoping to open a new restaurant in Wauwatosa.

Owners Bennie and Angela Smith are asking for approval to open Daddy's, saying their goal is "to provide down-home country cooking for the community with reasonable prices."

If approved by city officials, Daddy's would open in the former George Webb restaurant location at 6108 W. Bluemound Road.

Smith is a culinary graduate with more than 30 years of wide-ranging experience. According to Wauwatosa Plan Commission documents, Daddy's would be a "mini version of what has become the go-to place for cooking that your grandmother used to make, [and] will delight the many patrons that had depended upon the diner providing them with key meals throughout the day."

Under the Smiths' proposal, Daddy's would have all-day breakfast including smoked sausage, ham, salmon croquettes, grits, catfish, eggs in every way, pancakes, chicken and waffles, oatmeal and fruit among other items.
