Bartolotta to Open Mr. B’s in Mequon on Sept. 14

The replacement for Joey Gerard’s brings more red meat to the North Shore.

The transformation of the former Joey Gerard’s (11120 N. Cedarburg Rd., Mequon) into a second location of Mr. B’s: A Bartolotta Steakhouse are complete, and opening day is Thursday, Sept. 14. 

Now the one-time home of The Riversite has a similar look and feel to its Brookfield sibling, plus a wine cellar with more than 200 varieties of vino. 

Working with Bartolotta corporate chef Adam Siegel, executive chef Amber Dorszynski created a menu similar to the original Mr. B’s, so the main event is steak (filet mignon to rib-eye) and steak and seafood or fish (shrimp scampi, scallops, salmon, crab cakes),  from $39.

A few additions, in appetizer and salad sections, are steak tartare, Josper bacon (steak-cut bacon grilled in the Josper oven), French onion soup and a burrata cheese-tomato salad. Seafood and fish dishes inlude baked Great Lakes whitefish with Dijon/herbed breadcrumbs, sauteed spinach and roasted potatoes.

Like the Brookfield location, Mequon’s menu is also for diners who don’t want typical steakhouse fare. There’s wood-roasted chicken, baby back ribs, a seasonal rigatoni dish and a half-pound burger.

Hours: Mon-Thurs 5:30-9 p.m.; Fri 5:30-10 p.m.; Sat 5-10 p.m.; Sun 5-8 p.m. (262-518-5500)
