Mayfair

It’s not a visit to Milwaukee without a visit to Mayfair. I have loved this mall since I was a kid and have greatly enjoyed seeing it morph and blossom into the landmark it has become today. I love the recent additions in the form of Nordstrom, specifically. Keep growing, you beautiful Mayfair!

Over the years, I have visited Mayfair mall too many times to count. In the past, I have been unhappy with parking issues and access to the mall itself, mostly due to construction projects.
Today, 12÷23÷15, I visited the mall and was happy to see no construction issues, blockages, barricades and no problem parking; i.e., on the east side parking area, there was no parking lot grid lock with other drivers and I found a parking space relatively quickly; again, two days before Christmas!
I was also happy not to see a bunch of rowdiness in the mall, something that I have witnessed from time to time here, but I believe the powers to be finally got a handle on it and with a compliment of security patrols, both inside the mall and the high visibility cadre of security vehicles on the parking lot, it looks like thinks have calmed down in that area quite a bit.

I was very disappointed walking through the mall today. There was a confederate flag shirt on display and I asked the kiosk owner if he understood that this could be offense. He replied he did not care and that I need to mind my business and find something better to do with my time.
I complained to public safety about the confederate flag on display and they were very nonchalant about the issue. I was brushed off and told I could submit my issue online.
I will not shop at Mayfair any longer.

Melts & Cheese is horrible to eat at. Never again. Guess Mayfair Mall was desperate to fill a spot in the food court. Better off eating at Five Guys.

I think this is a nice mall. A lot of your typical, repetitive stores, but the selection is nice and the variety is good enough. Food court is relatively small, (but still enough space for two pizza places), and the movie theater is pretty nice. Nothing overly spectacular about this place but it has some nice stores, albeit with overpriced merchandise.

It’s a pretty quality mall with nice shops, but the security guards always seem to be really rude. They all seem to have some sort of power complex, and actually take pleasure from harassing patrons.

Few good stores but overall they get boring quick. The usual reason I venture over to this area is:
A. I either get manipulated into going to Lush or Sephora with the girlfriend
B. Catch a movie on the big screen (which happens once in a blue moon)
Crappy crappy typical food court options. PF Chang’s, Chocolate Factory, and Panera Bread are the bright spots. I remember a few years back they had problems with security but It seems like they have gotten better and employed more guards and stricter rules. Also for some reason the parking lot always seems to be absolutely packed. No matter what the time. Can’t imagine during holidays.
I would give Mayfair a rating of an A-​OK, but I see some room for improvement if they get some different food court options and stricter parking rules?

First time here a few weeks ago, good variety of stores. I went to buy my husband a hat at lids and the worker there was a A** first I had to wait a few minutes for him to get off the phone, then when I asked him for a certain size he looks at me like I’m stupid. I ended up finding the hat myself, I wouldn’t have got it there but my husband had been wanting one. When paying he asked if I had the rewards card whatever it’s called. I said yes apparently he didn’t hear me and said so that’s a yes or no in a rude way. I said YES, gave him the card and he didn’t even say anything after the purchase just put the bag on the counter and walked away. Other then that I liked the mall but beware for the people outside one man asked me 2x for money and a ride.

I visit Mayfair based on the location and the shops inside (a solid 4 stars). However, it is increasingly more stressful to visit Mayfair due to the insane road construction and the fact they keep building onto the mall and into the parking lot. It is so annoying!!! (the parking situation is like a 2 star) Don’t even try to visit this mall during traditional busy shopping periods such as Black Friday or Christmas time, it’s nearly impossible to find a parking spot.
I do like the curfew that keeps the wild kids out but get frustrated when the barley 18-​yr-​old security asks for my id. I am clearly over 18 and not a trouble maker but they don’t hesitate to let their acquaintances that appear to be about 15 years old go by without a check.
The «free» wifi is very spotty. The mall is generally clean and the bathrooms are actually pretty decent for mall bathrooms.
I’m looking forward to the addition of Nordstrosm, except that it took up more of the parking spaces in the back where I was generally able to find a spot. If they could get the parking situation under control I’d bump my rating up to 4 stars, but with the continuous additions and renovations, I do not see that ever happening.

It’s a mall, and a decently run one at that. Security is present. People are mostly behaved. It’s amazingly clean all the time. Parking lots and traffic suck, but not all that much you can do about that.

This mall is very nice. Good sized. Very modern. Very clean. A food court. A Panera Bread Co. Resturant. A variety of different stores. Many not found in every mall and a few favorites. A Sees candy store. Lots of parking. A great place.

Mayfair is a decent mall, most days. Sometimes I don’t feel very safe when I am there, but I think they have been adding security guards, which has been helping the atmosphere of the mall, in my opinion… but at the same time it makes me wonder, why should we need this much security? I still prefer Brookfield square because of that. But overall it is ok… food court has many options, and the bathrooms are clean, for the most part.

As far as malls go, Mayfair is A-​Ok.
What’s best here is the curfew. It is hilarious and wonderful watching the little kids get thrown out.
That being said, the mall is clean, not obnoxiously crowded, and has all the stores you could desire.
The parking lot could definitely use a redesign (which I believe it is currently undergoing), but I don’t know of any mall that is easy to park in.

This is a mall. It has a lot of stores. It also has food and a movie theatre.
The other day I was here with my partner and she asked to go to the Mac store. I got excited then realized that it wasn’t the… Apple store… but the MAC store. Much to my chagrin, I quickly realized this was a make-​up store.
Be sure to have an escort if you’re under the age of 18. Mall security will stop you if you don’t look old enough or if you’re lingering around.
Bathroom are clean-​ish.
Pro-​tip: Don’t fall asleep on a bench. Mall security will ask you to leave.

Nice collection of high end and reasonable priced stores. I will say the food court has lacking in a number of fast food places

Great selection of stores, but not a great selection of people. The clientele has drastically changed in the last 5 years. I only feel safe when I am armed. Thank you, Brookfield Square for being a good alternative.

There’s not a log of shopping in this mall. I guess i’ve been to better places
If your looking to buy tennis shoes this is the place they seem to have more shoe store than anything else. They will have a few additional stores coming 2015 I think but nothing any time soon.
However I was excited to find my aerie store in here which helped a lot because victoria secrets undergarments are sometimes too shiny or flashy names on it which is not my thing.
Didn’t do much shopping but it’s a nice

–Lots of restaurants to pick from, with a variety of costliness
–fairly clean (comparatively)
–lots of security (good thing)
–nice variety of stores for children, juniors (f&m), and women (not much for men unless you go to a department store)
–17 and under are not allowed to be in the mall without an adult after 3 PM
–hard to find parking on weekends

I am here at least once week. I am pretty sure it’s by default because it has been cold; and now cold and rainy. Indoor mall format versus town center format will always win.
So, when I am at Mayfair, I am always at Macy’s, Stride Rite, Godiva, Picture People and occasionally Teavana (don’t let them up sell you). I enjoy The Cheesecake Factory, Starbucks (2^nd level) and Panera Bread as lunch options.
Dislikes: The food court lacks in options, no Lane Bryant (relegated to Macy’s because I don’t like Torrid), and no play area for the little ones to let off steam.
This is like a mall that is family friendly, but you’re not really welcome to stay? It’s just an odd vibe here.
I will always come here due to Macy’s, but in the summers I will head to the outdoor mall.

A-​Ok pretty much sums it up.
Closest to my house and a good mix of stores, but so busy as to make parking a cutthroat competition.
The management is great about trying to keep the place friendly to everyone and not overrun by teenagers, but it can feel militant at times.
I’m not here to hang out, I’m here to get what I need and go home, so it fulfills that service. Functional and not an entirely painful experience. Not awful, not great. — just A-​Ok.
