Brewery • $$
“So grateful to have a place like Hop Yard in our community! The variety of pizza and beer provides for taste bud adventures. Pizza is consistently delicious. Staff is friendly and warm. The atmosphere is accesible to those with physical limitations and offers a variety of seating types. Most importantly, Hop Yard has a niche on creating a community space where all people and families can gather. It’s unique to look around a space and see such a variety of people and families spending time together!”

“If you’re looking for a good place to grab a beer, you found it here. Great brews, unique taps, and the best service. I’ve tried nearly all their beers and each one is delicious with them creating new beers (which is why I say I tried nearly all). While they might not serve food, you can bring food in. But this is my go to when I need to grab a good beer. I highly recommend people to check them out”

Restaurants by Cuisine
Steak House • $$$
“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.”

“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.”

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

“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.”

“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.”

“I ordered two Party Packages for an event that I had and they had everything ready when I picked it up and they even loaded it into my vehicle. My quests loved the food and kept asking where I got it from. The beef brisket was a fan favorite. I would definitely order from them again. If you are looking to serve a large group (I had over 100 people) and give them great food this is the place to go!”

“The Italian beef and the Polish sausage were delicious! Really enjoy the food and would recommend stopping by. The ladies were so sweet and funny! Really enjoying talking to them. Fantastic Food!”

“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.

“We visited for our first time yesterday. Food was fantastic however the dining room was disgusting. Everything was greasy and there was stuff all over the floor. I think we will be sticking to the drive-thru so we can at least eat great food in a clean place.”

“We just had a birthday party here on Sunday for our two 7 year old boys. We reserved a room with one of the party packages, which included a ranch hand, pizza, ice cream, drinks, gift bags and arcade cards for each kid, and very accommodating staff. Nick is always friendly and provides great service every time we visit.”

“I’ve been here several times and it’s a great place. I like it a lot. Only thing I’m worried about is the workplace environment. It looks a bit cramped in there and it gets crowded in the lobby frequently. I hope the employees get paid well, and are treated well in a stressful environment like this. I always tip them, and hope they have a splendid rest of their day. I enjoy the cookies a lot!”

“I ordered two Party Packages for an event that I had and they had everything ready when I picked it up and they even loaded it into my vehicle. My quests loved the food and kept asking where I got it from. The beef brisket was a fan favorite. I would definitely order from them again. If you are looking to serve a large group (I had over 100 people) and give them great food this is the place to go!”

“The food is wonderful and the staff are even better! We got the lunch pot roast and bbq brisket sandwich and were blown away. we even ordered a full pie that's made to order and the restaurant will call when it's ready to pick up. Everything came out quickly and was delicious.”

“The best diner in Appleton! Great food, huge portions, low prices, and great service. 💖”
“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.”
