I finally tried 1700 Pull Up, and y’all know I’m going to give an honest review! 👀
I ordered the three soul food tacos loaded with catfish, mac and cheese, greens, and yams. The idea was definitely creative, but they were so packed that I couldn’t really pick them up like tacos. The mac and cheese was also a little too bland for me, so overall, the tacos just weren’t my favorite.
The turkey leg looked good, but unfortunately, it was dry. Now, the pork chops and cabbage? Those were good! 🙌🏽
Some things were a hit and others were a miss, but I’m glad I gave 1700 Pull Up a try. Have y’all eaten there before? What did you order?

Trying soul food at 1700 Pull Up was definitely an experience that sparked my appetite for more southern flavors. The unique twist of combining classic soul food ingredients into tacos is creative, but practical challenges arose due to how packed the tacos were with fillings like catfish, mac and cheese, greens, and yams. I found it tricky to enjoy them like traditional tacos because they were too loaded to hold, which might be off-putting for some who prefer neat, handheld bites. One thing I noticed about the mac and cheese inside the tacos was that it lacked seasoning and depth, which made the overall flavor a bit flat compared to the rich, creamy mac and cheese I’m used to in soul food dishes. Sometimes these creative mashups need a balance to keep the soul food roots intact while adding an innovative flair. The turkey leg looked mouthwatering but ended up being dry, which was disappointing as juicy, tender turkey leg is one of my favorites in soul food joints. However, the pork chops and cabbage were a highlight. The pork chops were flavorful and tender, complemented nicely by the cabbage, which added a tangy and savory side that worked well together. In my opinion, soul food is all about comforting flavors and generous portions, and while 1700 Pull Up hits some notes with their unique menu, there’s room for improvement in execution and seasoning, especially in fusion dishes like the tacos. For anyone exploring soul food in Milwaukee or looking for a new food adventure, 1700 Pull Up is worth a visit, but I’d recommend ordering the pork chops and cabbage over the tacos or turkey leg. Has anyone else tried 1700 Pull Up? I’d love to hear your favorite dishes or tips on what to order next time. Sharing our experiences helps everyone get the best taste of soul food in Milwaukee. Also, consider pairing your meal with classic soul food sides like collard greens, cornbread, or sweet potato pie to round out the feast mode perfectly!
