Restaurants in Appleton

“Delicious food but extremely tiny portions. Nice atmosphere just don't come hungry.”

“The street corn tots were delicious! I would go back just for those. The burgers were good, but the beef did lack flavor. Our server was very attentive. She checked up on us often. One thing that didn't go so well was that we got the wrong order. It was our first time there so we didn't realize it, and honestly, the food took so long to come out, we forgot what burgers we ordered. So when they brought out our supposed order, my burger came with fries when I ordered a salad. I thought hey, maybe they forgot it and had fries instead. I didn't let the server know because she was busy and we were hungry, already waiting a long time for our food, and on a schedule. We needed to be somewhere and thought an hour and a half was sufficient time to eat, appearantly not. I would give this place another try, hoping that the food will come out sooner than later and that we don't get the wrong food order.”

“the staff was amazing, their food was as good as ever. it was clean and quick and friendly”

“Madras Cafe is an absolute gem of a restaurant! The owner warmly greeted us when we came in. He asked if we had ever eaten there before and when we said no kindly explained the menu. He asked our preferences and made personal recommendations for each member of our group. The food was EXCEPTIONAL! I never write reviews but knew instantly I needed to share my experience. The foods were flavorful and the spices vibrant. I have to mention the coffee. If you are a coffee drinker, then you are about to be ruined for all other coffee. It was smooth and rich. Reminded me of French press but better. The prices are reasonable and fits into any budget. The owner explained how each dish was best eaten and shared a charming story about how his mother's cooking influenced the restaurant's menu. I have never felt so welcome and at home in a restaurant. I highly recommend.”

“Great food and great service! Could not recommend more!”

“We have been to Mateos a handful of times now and we have yet to be disappointed. the food is amazing, the portion sizes are huge and the service is always so friendly. I would give this place 10 ⭐️ if I could!”

“Amazing place! Me and my coworkers placed a mobile order yesterday, and I went to pick up the order. Not only was the order ready when I arrived, but after I placed a separate small order and dropped my coworkers order of Horchata on the ground the young ladies behind the counter offered to remake it with no charge. Thank you young ladies for helping save the day and thank you Frio for being a staple of our community! Well done!”

“Always a tastebud’s delight. Their menu offers an excellent twist on comfort and classic foods with options for all food enthusiasts including vegetarian and vegan options. Their coffee is smooth and flavorful, their Bloody Mary is top notch, and their beer selection is pleasantly satisfying. Their staff are down to earth, friendly and attentive. Their restaurant is always welcoming and clean. Food is consistently amazing. I highly recommend.”

“Excellent food that I was confident would not make me sick. Service was fast & friendly. I will definitely be back!”

“The food here is very good and spicy hence the name ' Dave's Hot chicken' . The chicken didn't look real it looked like AI so straight, and golden. I can say the same thing for customer service the employees are so nice and polite. Jose helped me out, and explained the menu perfectly. This other employee was also very nice his name was Jar? I don't really remember but he was very nice, he also asked if I needed anything else, and gave me Dave's sauce.”

“Amazing food and great service!”

“Visited the new Menomonee Falls location today. Loved the wood fire pizza 🍕 you can choose between ones on the menu or make your own which is really cool. The layout for seating is really nice. There are games to play at the tables with kids or family which is a really cool idea. The staff is really friendly, will definitely be one of my go to local places.”

“The amazing food here is always served with a smile. In addition to their own food truck, 509 invites other trucks out. This local business eats sleeps and breathes community. 10/10”

“Picture it: a group of 6 adults, weary from a day full of fun activities but finding themselves hungry for a unique and fun group dining experience. Then, like a lighthouse in the distance, Molo appears! From the robot cat leading us to our table, to our hostess/server making excellent recommendations, to the massive cocktail tower, to the delightful birthday song, this was truly an excellent experience. But what about the food?! Phenomenal, no other way to say it. All the broths were delightful, especially the Thai Tom Yum, and the Molo pork belly for the BBQ was truly a standout. Everything was fresh, everything was fast, and the entire experience was truly special. Thank you Molo crew for making our day out special and delicious!”

“6/5 stars! They did an AMAZING custom cake order. design was top tier. cake + filling was out of this world. all staff was super friendly. incredibly clean bathroom and shop. Will be back!”

“The first thing I liked about SAP was the friendly attentive staff. I sat at the breakfast counter today and my waiter was great. The second thing was the delicious food. The third was the avoidance of plastic—they used metal containers for condiments, cloth napkins, and paper boxes for leftovers.”

“Under new ownership. I ate there with my wife, and my son and his wife. The food and service are excellent, everyone at the table agreed. We all had different dinners, a lot of depth in the menu. The guacamole is absolutely great. I can’t wait to try their food with Margaritas as well, we had flavored tea in the interim. A lot of restaurants are noisy inside yet this was not the case here. Next time we will try eating outdoors.”

“LOVE this restaurant. I wish it was there when I lived in the area 20 yrs ago. I still get there a few times a year. I really enjoy the blackened shrimp tacos. The service has always been wonderful and consistent. The manager stops by the table a QUICK check in. That small touch means so much!! Yesterday I had the lemon cake for dessert friend's had the gluten free chocolate cake. We were all in HEAVEN!! My second time there a couple years ago we had a server who was maybe having an off day. I talked to the manager on my way out & he was sincere & grateful I had let him know.”

“Cool cats in this place. They take care of cats and allow visitors. Cats toys and related items. Money goes to housing and cat care. The Scones and coffee were amazing. The staff was friendly. And the fur babies rule. Check it out. Coffe for a cause @ the Pawffee Shop. 🐈 😻 🐈‍⬛️ ☕️”

“4 stars. Rye Restaurant is a solid spot with great food and a really enjoyable atmosphere. Dan, who works there, was super friendly and helped make the experience smooth and welcoming.

The staff really know how to create a comfortable vibe, and the overall experience was enjoyable from start to finish. Definitely a place I’d recommend checking out.”

“Very nice ..... have been there many times...5 star ... Also we just had our 1st carry out...very good...we will be back”

“What a wonderful evening in your restaurant last night. As a first time diner at your establishment, we were met with rustic charm and elegance, Fresh roses on the tables and an amazing view. Our waitress Amanda M made us feel welcome and her attention to details was amazing. We felt spoiled by her and amazed at her spunk. It was a magical treat for my daughter and myself. Thank you and especially Amanda for making us Welcome and Special & Worthy of a special evening out. ^j^”

“The food was good, but wasn't worth the price. The steaks are overpriced because of the name. I think the worst part is you spend all that money and the only thing you get is a tiny house salad. For the amount of money you spend you should get standard side dishes. Good but grossly overpriced. It's a place you should go to once to say you have gone.”

“Food was phenomenal. Server was beyond kind and greeted us right away! Flavor was insane. Will absolutely be back.”

“great food, good service”

“dynamite roll is my favorite! It’s delicious and the presentation is neat too :)”

“Searra and Christin are great bartenders and very friendly! Great atmosphere and tasty drinks. They probably deserve their own office! Hard working gals.”

“First time at Kountry Bar (I know I know - shameful!!!!) but the beer was ice cold, the atmosphere was amazing, the bartenders were friendly and personable but the burger - OMG the burger was f-ing fantastic. I had the ghost pepper blue burger and it was seriously the best burger I’ve had in…… well, I don’t know when. My husband had the tenderloin sandwich and also loved it. We will most definitely be back. Seriously - you need to visit this bar and grill. You will not regret your decision to stop by and treat yourself!!! 💪🏼”

“Food is great!!! Very good and quick service also.”

“Amazing food, quaint atmosphere, wonderful owner & staff.”

“This is a great place for good breakfasts and delicious potato pancakes.Good sized servings at a reasonable price. The seasonings are up to you to add to your dish, as mine came pretty bland and unseasoned. But I would return.”

“Been a patron since about 2006, this place is simply the best for gyros!”

“There isn't any item on their menu I haven't liked. Great customer service, great tasting food & great pricing! I'll be waiting(impatiently) for the reopening.”

“I have been a customer for over 40 years. We picked up 6 dozen buns for a party yesterday and they honestly are disappointing. They truly taste a day old, dry and brittle to the cut. What happened to your squishy buns? Just disappointed maybe next time they will be better.”

“Location is clean and the cookies are good! I’ve been in here a few times and sometimes the staff seem bothered and annoyed with the customers just being there, but aside from that all good.”

“Everything about this place was wonderful. The staff are pleasent and knowledgeable, the atmosphere is great, and the food is fantastic! Our server was Sierra and she was so helpful with her recommendations.”

“Every time I’ve had their bread, it’s perfect! Either pick some up at the farmers market, or direct… or it’s featured at many fabulous restaurants in the area!”

“I had never been to Akame Sushi but went with my sister and brother in law. The experience was great! If you don’t want raw sushi, like me, there is plenty to choose from. I can’t wait to go again. You make your choices off an iPad that has pictures to help you choose. DELICIOUS 😋”

“One of the best meals I have had in a while of this particular type of cuisine. My husband and I absolutely love experiencing all different kinds of food from everywhere. We recently relocated to the Appleton area after living 20 years in Wausau. One of the harder parts of leaving was losing all of the local small business places we frequented because we knew that their food was authentic and delicious. I happened upon Ong’s kitchen, just by exploring the area close to our house. I hadn’t yet had a chance to try it when a friend who lives here highly recommended it. I stopped in for lunch the other day and got the rice vermicelli noodle bowl. Which is a favorite of mine! Minus being to brave for my own level of spice 😝🥵 that I added(not the restaurants fault at all)….. it was a dish that reminded me of one of my favorite places that we had back in our old city. In fact, I am making my Husband get takeout from there today because I’m excited to try what else they offer. I am truly happy that this is one of the very first places that we found and we will be repeat customers. I’m sure you’ll even see my children in there because Pho & egg rolls are some of their favorites!! Thank you for sharing your delicious food with our community! For all of you, wondering if you should stop there, what are you waiting for exactly?!? I think tonight is the perfect night to try it! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“We were in the area and decided to pick up a couple of subs to take home. The service was very friendly and professional. Our sandwiches came out promptly and were very good! We will definitely return.”

“Outstanding food and prevention! Our food looked like a work of art and tasted amazing! Dessert was amazing! We'll be coming back again for sure.”

“Attentive & friendly staff. Food is great! If you're curious about Indian dishes, try an appetizer. They also have many "American" choices on the menu.”

“Went there twice with different friends. Everyone was impressed with the salad bar. Small but good selection of items. Liver Paste was my favorite others enjoyed the split pea soup. Two of us had the Frog Leg Special the other had the Petite Sirloin. Second time I went with 4 men. I still couldn’t resist the Frog Legs. A father son had the Sirloin for two and the other had a Med. Sirloin. We were surprised that they had beets on the salad bar. In all a great experience.”

“We were here at 3:30 pm, so it was very quiet. I saw someone complain about the cleanliness but it seemed clean to me even the bathroom.

It took quite a while to get our drinks and the waiter kept apologizing. I believe they were training staff at the bar.

As far as seating - plenty for big crowds.

Food - Pre-meal croissant with honey butter.
I ordered ribs with honey bbq, buttered corn and southern green beans. Everything was hot, cooked as it should have been and delicious. Even the corn had a nice crisp. The ribs fell off the bone. My rasp margarita was meh, I've had better.

Husband had grilled sirloin, loaded potato and green beans. He said it was very tender and actually very good. The raspberry iced tea was also great.

Dietary restrictions: GF options”

“First time visitor and ordered take out. The place is tastefully decorated and the staff very friendly. The massaman curry is extremely flavorful and has just the right amount of heat to enjoy every last drop. I’ve tried other local Thai restaurants and have enjoyed their curry dishes, but this place is definitely my new favorite!”

“I honestly can't say enough good things about this location and I go to this location exclusively. The staff always make me smile and are so friendly and kind. IF(and that's a big if) they cause an error in my order, they are always quick to fix it.”

“FOX valley is in for a treat! I'm happy that I don't have to travel to CHICAGO for authentic PUERTO RICAN food. Now I have not visited this place but I did order it through DOOR DASH. So, my review is solely off of take out. However, the flavor was on point that I will visit the location SOON.

HERE IT goes!
Dinner platter: Everything was pretty much seasoned correctly. My opinion is the marinated pork should have had a piece of skin as advertised. I rated that 3 1/2. The portions were fair. The pasta salad was a bit over cooked. Rated 2.5 The rice was good I rate that a 5. The pastel was a surprise but a welcomed one. The texture and flavor was great but I wish I would have seen a traditional olive! Rated 4.5.
Alcapurra: (plantain meat pie) rated 4 - missing Ketchup/mayo dip
Pastillio: Pork meat pie 3.5 Turnover texture too flaky where it's falling apart and wayyy to greasy.

Please see pics. In total I spent $45 on Door Dash. In total they still are a solid 4!! I'm super excited to try more!
Con buen provecho! 🇵🇷”

“Drive thru is extremely slow, but the coffee is amazing. So you just have to make sure you have extra time it the morning.”

“Best soft gluten free cookie I've ever had. So ooey and gooey. Kiddo loved all the flavors of normal cookies he got too. It was about a 10 min wait while they baked them fresh for us. Still warm when we got home about 10 mins later.”

“Love the energy drinks and all of the different flavors and combinations you have to chose from. They have a flavor for pretty much however your feeling at the moment.

The staff is pretty awesome they have always been super upbeat and looks like they really enjoy what they are doing. Just based on how busy they always are speaks loves.

My only gripe is the amount of ice (even when you ask for light ice) is a bit overkill. When your paying $8 for a premium beverage and it's 60% ice it can be a bit of a bummer.”

“It was a great visit. From the drive-through's entrance to the exit. I ordered regular coffee with a double red eye. A regular coffee for my wife and an Everything Bagel for us to divide. The person taking orders was polite, helpful and cheerful. The coffee was great and the bagel was too, including its melted cheese. Thumbs up.”

“Amazing food and service, just wish the company ran more promotions for their rewards members. It encourages you to try new things and would promote affordability which is important! Alot of times, I want to go to cousins but my other choices outweigh my regular at cousins. 10$ meal deal doesn't include the sandwich id get.... 🙁”
