“Had Sunday brunch and we’re very pleased with the whole experience.. Chef Nick served up a delicious meal and the service was great! Looking forward to another chance to try another dish from their new menu.“

“Some of the best fish in the Valley! We always have a great experience. Good service and food always hot with nice portions. Wait times can vary if they’re busy, but its expected. We always get the Platter to share and always have leftovers to airfry. All deep fried - perch, haddock, scallops, shrimp and fries, it also comes with coleslaw, rye bread, tater, melted butter and cocktail sauce. My go to for fish fry lately!“

“Thomas brought my order out to me today. What a pleasant young man! He was very personable and gave a genuine compliment to me. Super professional and friendly. Thank you!“

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

“today they were very streamed line. I think this the fastest I ever left culver's drive threw. from ordering, to pay to a spot waiting to getting the food. well done ( only bad part, our tarter sauce was spoiled. think it was under heat or something.) food was hot & fresh plus got it very fast. ty“

“I love trying new spots, this one hit mine and son spot. We both enjoyed our meal, our waitress was very proficient, we let her know it was our first visit, she made sure we enjoyed the atmosphere. Food was delicious ? even had the homemade carrot cake loaded with raisins and walnut served warm upon request. Interior gave me the "House on the Rock" effect. Cannot wait for my next visit ?“

“Dan was our server and bartender and he was was phenomenal. He was attentive and FUN! Love the atmosphere here. Great food and live music! Love coming here.“

“BOBBY IS THE BEST!
food is the best we've had and Bobby is literally the best server I've ever had in my life. He made it right when the tiniest thing went wrong and it was our first time and he definitely made us long term customers! This restaurant could never afford to lose him compared to the less than ideal service others were getting from other servers. Manager was super helpful and comped an entree when there was a tiny thing wrong and not fault of their own. Absolutely amazing place and will go back tenfold.“

“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!“

“I still recommend because it is a Hometown favorite and the atmosphere is cozy. My most recent visit, I had chicken fettuccine Alfredo with broccoli. Alfredo sauce had no flavor & noodles were under cooked. My husband got the French dip .. very good .. but we sure do miss the fries you used to have …the most amazing fries tasted like mashed potatoes in the middle! The fries now are super mediocre with seasoning salt. I do think the quality has gone down and the prices have gone up. I understand everybody’s prices are going up but it’s very unfortunate that the quality has declined. I drive by often and they’re always very busy so apparently they’re not affected by this yet. Wait staff is always great!“

“I can’t rave enough, last minute accommodated a large group for my birthday! Everything went so smooth and perfect, the atmosphere, food, service etc etc. Thank you so much!“

“If you are looking some great brunch with a top notch Bloody Mary, this is the place to go. The atmosphere is really laid back and perfect for a date.“

“Originally, and due to not investigating the dining area (because of the advertised Mac and cheese being a delicious distraction), I had thought this a traditional restaurant environment with servers. Instead it is a deli style with walk-up to the cash register/menu. I like these, so not a disappointment in any regard, plus it's light and spacious and clean. The staff are warm, professional and also friendly.
I had the Popeye's Mac and cheese, and going by the pictures on the menu I was confident it was going to be a great experience so dove right in with the 'Mac Daddy' size portion. This was too much for me to eat in one sitting, but they have take-away boxes easily and readily available.

This dish is remarkable, reminding me of the way my grandmother used to cook it (not overstating) all savory and creamy and cheesey, and perfectly crusty/crunchy on the top. Also on the top, a perfectly baked savory, crunchy piece of garlic bread perfectly complimenting.

I will be back, and bringing my Friends.“

“This was my first time here and every single bite was phenomenal!! I can't wait until we can come back.“

“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.“

“Great bartenders, fun atmosphere!!! We used this place as a meeting place for our family members from across the states, had a fabulous time!!! Couldn't have picked a better location !“

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

“Outstanding from start to finish, excellent cocktails and fine dining, plus fantastic service!“

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

“We've been missing out by not trying UMK before. LOVED it!! fresh ingredients, great options.“

“Best pancakes ever! Friendly staff and clean interior.“

“This was our first time ever bowling without a computer telling us. So that was quite interesting. But I did like that we could play as many games as we wanted and then pay. Our bowling balls got stuck a few times but we have had that happen before at other places. Just how it goes. Thanks for having us“

“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.“

“Always great food and friendly staff!“

“Excellent service, the server had tried all the food so could make recommendations and suggested a delicious beer to go with the food! The salmon BLT, sidewinders, spinach artichoke dip and chicken and waffles wings are all worth going back for and there was lots on the menu we still want to try next time! Patio opens Memorial Day so we can’t wait to sit outside next time!“

“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!“

“Top notch, Food was excellent“

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

“I just stopped at the Westhill Road Appleton, WI location, only ordered a Tominator sandwich only, no Mayo, no onions, heavy pickles and Bravo! This burger was delicious, first time ever made with lots of pickles the way I like it. Normally when I ask for heavy pickles, I get three extra slices. This burger was awesome!“

“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!“

“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!“

“Food was f-ing great. beer was cold, and bartenders were dope as hell. never ever go anywhere else, EVER!!!“

“I haven't been here for a while and don't know why. The menu is great, and the service was spectacular. There was so much room, tvs everywhere, and yet it was a cozy and comfy atmosphere. I know I will be back sooner than later. The Poutine was awesome.“

“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!!“

“Great food and drinks and excellent customer service!“

“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!“

“I used to tell everyone about this place I used to work here.... horrible experience tonight.... bartender horrible food horrible got a nodder and a dog in here???? while food is served?!?!?! never will I be back ever again.... then I call cuz I was told I got extra food for their mess up n nothing extra then hung up on me when I asked about 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!“

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

“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.“

“DO NOT order here if you actually want food. We picked up our burger order today - spent over $70 and half our food was missing. We had our kids meal and four burgers in the familt bundle, but none of the toppings we paid...just patties and buns. missing the bacon, fried onions, tomatoes, lettuce, pivkles, everything. Then, maybe even worse, no fries!!! My husband calls immediately upon returning home and they tell him they can refund us $4 for the bacon I guess. Then he says he has to call us back later to take care of the refund. Of course, no call back. Now our burgers are ice cold and I'm forced to make food anyway. it was ridiculous. We had better get a refund or I will make sure more people hear about this experience. I mean, not even an apology for the mistake and inconvenience....“

“Came out last night for my 30th birthday and Brittany was bartending and she made the whole night fun and popping! She is amazing!“

“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!“

“food was fresh and delicious minus missing hash browns“
