“We stopped in at the Appleton location today. Our food was all fresh, hot and really delicious! The girl at the counter was super sweet, and patient with us as we read the details of the menu board. The restaurant was very clean too .We shared the loaded baked potato Mac, which was soooo good! It came out hot and delicious, and the balance of ingredients was perfect. I wasn't of big fan of the hard seating options, but everything else was really great. We're definitely going back to try more Mac creations!“

“Tried this place for the first time today and the chipotle chicken salad is fantastic!!!!! Will definitely be back!!“

“We had great chocolate shakes at Culver’s in Suamico, so decided to go again. Apparently, not all the employees are knowledgeable in how to make them. They should be made with vanilla custard, not chocolate. Ruined my evening since I do NOT like chocolate custard😔“

“We came over from Germany to visit some family. My daughter Sofia loved the gumbo, Mac n cheese and chicken tenders but I think her favorite thing there was the waitstaff. Thank you so much for delicious food and your hospitality 🫶🏼🇩🇪“

“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.“

“My new to- go place for soup!!!! Outstanding seafood chowder!!!
Service (Heidi) was excellent!!!!
Prices are a bit high and I do not appreciate that I was not told that there was a charge to use a card. Normally places either have it posted, or it is on your bill as an option to pay cash. I went over my receipt three times it says nothing. They just charge you ! Not fair!“

“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 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!!! 💪🏼“

“Visited Urban Modern Kitchen with the husband to celebrate our anniversary and we had an absolute wonderful dining experience! Our waiter (unfortunately I forgot his name) was amazing and VERY personable. He made us feel important and he accommodated our every need. The food was amazing as well and it was prepared super fast! We didn’t have to wait long at all after we ordered. I got the Greek Bowl, husband got the Mexican Bowl. My husband can be picky, so I was a little nervous if he would like the food, but he loved it! We also shared some nachos, which he really liked as well. Everything from food to experience was top notch! Thank you!“

“excellent food,.................“

“Excellent, friendly service, amazingly diverse menu, and truly delicious food. This is my favorite place for breakfast.“

“This is one of my favorite restaurants in the Appleton area. However, I was disappointed with the front-desk folks’ lack of creative thinking and can-do attitude. When I called before arriving, I mentioned the number of people in my party and mentioned that I will also need a high chair. He said nothing available inside but patio is open and lots of seats are readily available. When we arrived, he was right, nobody was sitting in the patio. Bad news came after we were taken to our table, “sorry, we don’t have high chair available for at least another hour!” I understand that this may happen, but why do you tell me 5 mins before I arrive that you have everything available? Very disappointing, but this is even more disappointing when it comes from one of my favorite restaurants and I had guests with me.“

“This restaurant was a pleasant surprise! When we drove by it, we thought it was closed. Our hotel person told us it was open and very good, so we gave it a try. (The door is actually in the back.) I will say that their chicken fried chicken is the best I’ve ever had! The chicken was moist and the crust was delicious! Stephanie, our waitress, took very good care of us. All the sides were yummy and plentiful.“

“Food was excellent and the service was wonderful. So glad you are not closing. Appleton is lucky to have you.“

“Great friendly employees, not a long wait, clean“

“Best breakfast in the Valley. Very friendly and welcoming staff!“

“Fabulous! I Lived my meal and so did my partner. Gary. Authentic Southern food. Great server. friendly atmosphere y'all.“

“Absolutely disgusting meal. Food had obviously been precooked and then reheated in microwave. Spent $24.00 on this meal. Only remedy was the manager, Justin, offered coupons. I have no use for coupons to a restaurant I'm not going to patronize again. We threw the food away because we were concerned about possibly getting food poisoning.“

“Top notch, Food was excellent“

“This place is AMAZING!!! I have never had a ham sandwich as delicious as theirs! Not only is the food great, but the staff is so friendly and helpful. Definitely will be in again soon!“

“The Bar is a great place to meet friends, bring your family for dinner, play on a volleyball league, watch sports games, and overall enjoy your experience. This place has great food, with a wide variety of menu items that have never disappointed!

Wings, pizza, burgers, salads, sandwiches, appetizers, the menu is more than your typical bar fare. The drink selection is decent too, with the usual Wisconsin standards available. My guy and I love to go here for dates, and my family loves to go for the food, friends love to meet up here and host events. I've had numerous work lunches and group activities here.

Staff are friendly, knowledgeable and attentive.

Overall great place to eat and hang out with any kind of crowd.“

“We come from Stevens Point to visit my brother once a month and discovered this restaurant. The broasted chicken is the BEST. The soups are fabulous. The staff is excellent. The prices are very reasonable. If you are in town make this your go to place for good home cooking.“

“Cleveland Browns fans here, we walked in 3 minutes before draft started and sat down at bar and was treated great. definitely recommend. food was good as well😁“

“Always great food and friendly staff!“

“The piano entertainment, the classic bar, the soup and salad, the main course, the large list of ice cream drinks. It was just a wonderful experience!“

“Went here for the first time last night and the food was very good. Asada tacos were some of the best I’ve ever had! Can’t wait to try more on the menu!“

“great place for special events and fun entertainment and party!!“

“If you need to have a Celebration Of Life here, I would recommend it. Great very hard working crew too! Thank you for having the Calypso Phil Celebration here yesterday. He would have loved it!“

“We came in with a large group of softball girls and they were willing to accommodate our group, were fast and on top of everything! The food was great, drinks were great, and the owner was super nice!

Kid-friendliness: The owner was so sweet! Our softball girls were trying to win ducks. She put in money for them and gave them some tips! She was super and very appreciative! Will definitely come back when we play in the area!“

“I’ve been going here since the old location. I usually get Heather and Papito around the times I go. Food is always quick, conversations great and always jokes to be had. My favorite burger (the only one I get and made into a turkey version) the raging Cajun is no longer on the menu, but they know that’s my same order with a side of Cajun/BBQ fries. The other servers I’ve had over the last couple summers as well have all been great as well. Cheers!“

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

“Great place! Great service!“

“My fiancé and I stopped here a little after midnight after a show. Thinking it would be slow because of the late time. We walked into a packed restaurant. We waited a few minutes to be seated. Once seated the manager gets our drink order and our server makes her way over shortly after. Our server was a young girl named Haley. She was the only server on that night. She had multiple tables, two big groups as well. Besides all the orders for the tables, they had multiple togo orders. Haley is an amazing server!! She had a smile on her face even though she was clearly stressed. Both her and her female manager did great!!“

“food was fresh and delicious minus missing hash browns“

“Hey, it is an airport bar, so don't expect typical, low Wisconsin prices but still cheaper than most airport lounges. Nice selection of local beers and a very friendly staff of bartenders. Variety of food options for all times of the day.“
