New American Restaurants near Mequon, WI

“This "hole in the wall" bar is a must stop. I love visiting bars like this because of the community they provide. I was welcomed by the locals and had great conversation through my visit.The area is out in the country and can be tricky to find. Once I arrived, there was plenty of street parking as well as a lot in the back The inside was charming with a vintage vibe. Drinks were strong and their menu is lengthy. I ordered a cup of the soup which was styled after the Reuben sandwich. The corned beef was excellent. The soup is creamy and flavorful. I have tried to stop by again but they are only open Tuesday through Thursday. I wish I had checked the menu it because the reviews online show a fish fry but I'm not sure if that's available daily since they're closed on Friday? I hope you find out soon!“

“They really have the casual, calm but interesting thing about the place. Love the cabin bar. Like the decor and low lighting. Perfect place after a hard day working. At contrasts the other restaurants in the area that make you feel less comfortable. Wondering how much they spent in the cabin bar. It quite a great replica“

“Northstar Bistro isn't just about the food (though it's amazing!). The staff truly elevates the dining experience – they're friendly and attentive. Combine that with their creative cocktails and reimagined American classics, and you've got a recipe for a perfect night out.“

“My wife and I love coming here when we're waiting for our dog to be groomed down the road. The chicken dumpling soup is awesome and I had a patty melt today. That was as good as I've had in many years. What I liked most is the service we received from Debbie. She was amazing. Debbie anticipated our needs constantly, even though they were very busy. Extremely impressed!“

“We went on a Friday night with 10 people knowing that they didn’t take reservations…but they seem to be very efficient with plenty of staff and we were seated pretty quickly! We were celebrating a birthday and it was so nice to not feel like you’re being rushed! Our waitress Jessica K was super attentive constantly grabbing drinks at the bar for us and very friendly! Everyone’s food was delicious and very large sandwiches! Would definitely recommend “The Stillery”-Grafton!!“

“Trippy to be in this building as my first apt at age 18 (1991) was around the corner & this was the functioning firehouse for MF.Food was okay, nothing spectacular. Atmosphere is nice but loud, sound definitely carries in this venue. Staff however is great, very attentive, kind & on their game. I would try this place again.Parking: Noon on a Friday and almost impossible to find near by parking. In the heart of downtown area and next to middle school so parking is truly at a premium.“

“Would highly recommend. The food was out of this world. I can’t remember the last time I had a meal so good. Their goat cheese curds with oyster mushrooms and Brussels sprouts, and the roasted cauliflower salad were absolutely amazing starters. For my entree I had the sweet potato gnocchi which knocked my socks off. Seriously fantastic stuff and super friendly staff!“

“This place is really fun! Casual art deco digs and a creative and engaging menu. We loved all of it! The Staff were superb, and the best bathrooms maybe ever. My only complaint was ALL the dishes were salty, like really salty. Even my salad. I didn’t really mind but, it was a bit much after a couple of course.I look forward to trying the other restaurants from these creators!“

“We went for brunch and it was awesome. Consistently great service and food. We had the berry waffles and chicken fried steak with biscuits and gravy. The portions were enormous. Such amazing food at a great value. Just go here. You will not regret it.“

“We love the Bay. We want it to continue to do well! I have to say the service is what brings me back all the time. The servers there are amazing. Food comes out hot and timely. Prices are reasonable. Pours are generous. And a lot of great outdoor seating which we enjoyed today. I have been eating vegan and they have 4 vegan items on their menu which is more than other restaurants in the area. I had the tofu peanut satay and it was very good!“

“Classic milwaukee neighborhood tavern, but with the best food ! The burgers are amazing- fresh ground daily. Don't skip the soup, it's all home made. This place has really nice regular clientele, and lovely bar staff that also cook the food.Before dark it's a decent tavern for families too.The burgers are some of the best around.Kid-friendliness: Pool table, fun juke box, nice regular clientele and kid friendly staff. Kids love the burgers.Parking: Large parking lot with plenty of spaces, easy to get around d.“

“Had great Fat Tuesday Specials this week. I had Cajun Pasta with Andouille Sausage and Blackened Chicken. Best I have eaten anywhere. My friends had the Shrimp Etouffee and the Jambalaya each saying their's was the best. Always great service and a good time when Scooter is behind the bar.“

“What a hopping place! How have I not come here all these years?It is located in a very unlikely location - I pass by all the time and didn't really realize it was a pub.Quaint vibes and a great place to watch some games if there are anything Milwaukee going on, methinks. There's also a dart board and it was busy at 5pm on a Saturday. We were out on a walk and just walked in. By 6, the place was getting pretty full.I thought our server was kinda brusque at first, but she warmed up pretty quick. She was funny, kind, and fast. Awesome!I've had better food, but their burger was still pretty good, and I'd definitely go back for some seconds.IPA (5.5)forgot what hubby had, but I loved it.hangover helper (14)I didn't have a hangover, and you don't have to have one to get this wonderful burger. It was cooked perfectly medium and with a perfectly runny egg. I asked how much they charged for lettuce, onion and tomatoes, and our server looked at me like I was crazy. "who does that?" she asks. I know! I fell in love with the place right then and there. lolAnd the lettuce was a good enough size for those on keto journeys like me - I could wrap half my burger in it and eat it like that. I love that so much more than when they give you cut up lettuce.wings (16)ok, so I won't be getting this again unless I'm back on Thursdays for their wing special. Not bad, but not great either. The wings themselves aren't breaded or seasoned. They're just straight fried wings. Perfect for keto, since it's not breaded. But a little seasoning would have been helpful. We did ask for sauce on the side, but usually the wings themselves have some seasoning, like salt, on them, don't they? Oh well. The sauce (habanero mango) was good, about the same as what we get anywhere else.overall, a jolly day and we're coming back for sure! This would be an awesome place to be for watching a game.“

“It was a warm summer night, we needed supper, and Wiesler's deck with its colorful umbrellas was calling. We were there soon after they opened at 4 p.m. so we had our choice of tables. The menu is not huge, but it didn't need to be. My husband ordered the beer cheeseburger with a side of coleslaw and I had the turkey/bacon wrap with a side of applesauce. We were both very satisfied with our food. It turned out that the friendly and attentive waitress was the owner of the bar/restaurant for the past 35 years along with her husband. They must be doing something right. Good food combined with the historic building made it a great choice for us.“

“Boulder Junction consistently aims to please with a top-notch dining experience. The combination of quality and quantity makes it the best sit-down spot money can buy. The efficient service ensures a speedy meal without compromising excellence. Topped off with a great, safe location, this place is deserving of healthy financial tips for the fantastic dining experience it provides.“

“My husband I have lived in the area for many years and finally decided to try the Friday fish fry at the hotel restaurant. What an incredible surprise! What were we missing all these years. The food was wonderful with generous portions. But more important, the service and atmosphere were outstanding. Karen and Lawrence were the only ones handling all the dinner guests but you would never know it by their fantastic smiles and attitude. We actually felt like we were at home. Karen and Lawrence made us feel like family and delivered outstanding service despite the amount of customers there were. In fact, many of them were also engaged like it was one big family. I could on and we look forward to our next visit.“

“3rd time going no drama or mess only thing I wish was different was the female bartender took more notice instead of looking at us and still continuing on talking like we wasn't there.. but we ended up getting help from another person so my night was still a success ??“

“That was the best service that I ever had going to a cousin's sub . The young man was so so polite and considerate of our time. He made sure the order was done to perfection and when we found the imperfection he made it a perfection once again. We need more good workers like that down here on the north side.“
