“This is a cute hideaway with amazing food! Service and staff were great and restaurant is clean with an updated layout. I would highly recommend the pancakes, they are quite big but taste amazing! Talk about bang for your buck! Can't wait to go back!“

“We have been going here every Friday night for the last few months after our daughter's horse riding lessons. I just have to say that the food is absolutely AMAZING. The prices are the best around! Their staff is so WONDERFUL and all the regulars there are amazing as well. You feel welcomed the moment you walk through that door until the moment you leave! Everyone is so kind and wonderful. We will continue to come here for the BEST FISH AROUND! AND BEST WAITRESS EVER.....“

“Had a great time for the time at Open Mic night! Wish I could of stayed longer is all hopefully next week I can make it and have more time...Also if you haven't been there on Mexi night yet your missing out!! For it's all freshly made that day ? authentic and all super delicious! Also add a couple of their homemade tamales too for you won't be sorry for they're out of this world! Highly recommended all around!!???️???❤️Kid-friendliness: Great customer service!“

“The service here was excellent, and the food was beyond my expectations!! I got a Denver omelet and some raspberry cream cheese crepes. Wow, they were so good! It was a busy place on a Saturday morning, but we got seated after only a five minute wait. I would definitely go back again.“

“I grew up in Burlington and have been coming here since I was a child. I took my fiance here to try it and he loved it as much as I do. They are closed in winter which sucks (but makes total sense). The custard is amazing and the prices are still reasonable. Every time I come here (which isn't as much as I'd like) I am reminded of my childhood and how it felt coming here with my parents and friends when I was older. The people there are friendly even though most of them are teens working but they work hard and are appreciated for sure! There is a SMALL area to sit inside and eat but I usually take my order to go and eat in the car or at the park across the street if it's nice enough out. I hope this place stays around for many many more years so I can bring my son and future children here. And maybe their children too?? (Hopefully).“

“Wow, I’m a huge fan of barbecue and this place is the real deal!! Very high quality smoked meats and his homemade sauces are perfection. On top of all that, Jacob and his staff truly understand how to provide top notch service. We will definitely be back soon!!“

“This is one of my favorite places to get a burger at local bar. I don't get there as often as I want to but whenever I do, it is great, food, great service, and friendly clientele! If you are rolling through Wilmot stop on by. They are also fantastic community partners.“

“I stopped in today by chance, I was hungry and have passed this place several times over the years. This place was amazing. I had a cheeseburger which was delicious. My girlfriend had the Nashville chicken Flatbread which was also delicious. We also had the wonton cheese sticks, they were awesome. Our waitress Makayla was great, very friendly and had great knowledge of the menu items. The bar tender Emily also greeted us and asked how the drinks were. Great place, very clean and welcoming. Would definitely recommend.“

“The Friday fish fry was delicious. Some of our group had cod, I had the bluegill. All the food came out hot and crispy, plus the potato pancakes were good too. I'll be back to try the Italian beef special on Thursday. We did have to wait at the bar for a table but it was well worth the wait.“

“I was in Burlington for work reasons and tried Sheila Mae's for breakfast. They have an excellent menu with lots of reasonably priced options. I had the "Burly Breakfast" consisting of two eggs, three pancakes, bacon, toast, and coffee. It was very good.The restaurant is small, with a cozy atmosphere. You seat yourself, and if you need the restroom you have to walk down a flight of stairs. Not very handicap accessible. Wait staff was very competent.Overall a good experience.Kid-friendliness: Kids are welcome. If they are crying or yelling you will notice it as the place is fairly small and loud sounds fill the space.Wheelchair accessibility: Not wheelchair accessible.“

“This place was so awesome I went twice in a week. A friend and I drove from Chicago to Lake Geneva for a convention and just happened to drive by. We stopped on a whim, as we were getting hungry and looking for somewhere to eat.When I say this place is good, I mean IT IS GOOD. I ordered the Cubby's Club and was not disappointed. This sandwich is what all other club sandwiches aspire to be. It was flavorful, a great portion, and the seasoned waffle fries were the perfect compliment.A small cafe with a friendly staff, cozy atmosphere, and great coffee. I was blown away. I cannot recommend this place enough. If you are in the Richmond area looking for a breakfast/lunch place, this is the spot.Parking: There is plenty of parking. There should be no trouble finding a spot close to either the front or back door.“

“Due to the superb quality of the food and the outstanding service this has quickly become my wife and I's favorite spot to eat. We will probably be returning weekly and will be regular customers. The young man who does the serving is very attentive and more polite than anyone else I've ever seen in a restaurant. They always greet you when you walk in and say goodbye when you leave. All around excellent.“

“Damn. Just Damn. My wife and I are both chicken wings fans. And hands down, these are some of the best wings I've ever had. Perfect seasoning, healthy chicken, and so much more affordable than the big chains. They are so good I had to order 3 dozen to go. My only complaint is that I don't live closer.I have one warning, if you come by to try these wings, you'll want to order a bucket of them to go.I apologize about the picture. I scarfed two down before I realized I had to tell the world about these. #chickenwings #fromheavan“

“I stopped in Sunday morning at the 11am opening time. I had the place to myself and had the pleasure of hanging out with Justin. The , he served me up some amazing ribs. So tender and full of flavors. Alongside these he served me this amazing side of smoked chicken pasta salad (get it!). I ate almost all of the Cole slaw which I never do. Both it and the potato salad I received had like a German flair to them. Both also some of the best I’ve had anywhere. Hidden gem only 35 minutes from the house! Thanks, guys!“

“It's an area icon! If you like history. The foods always great there servers are mostly great. But it's sooooo loud u can't have a conversation. If your kiddos are sensitive to sound or anyone is hard of hearing use caution choosing times to go. Otherwise a great piece of history“

“Legendary spot. Sitting outside on a nice summer day here is unmatched. Can eat a ton of great food for insanely low prices, comparatively. Everyone’s extremely friendly and often the service alone makes me want to 2x any bill with the tip.“

“Middle of the afternoon on the weekend. Sunny and 80. Plenty of parking for cars and bikes. Plenty of dock space. It was a little tough getting served at the outside bar. A few tables available with nice views. Made for a ok one and done. Will stop again.“

“This is a must stop on the way to Lake Geneva- We always take a group of motorcyclist up here and enjoy their creative brats and sausages. Beer is cold and the place has a friendly vibe!Parking: parking is a trick- and the road going through richmond is packed with trucks going to and from wisconsin. you gotta be patient crossing, and wait as people are always coming and going. cute icecream place across the street.“

“We love coming here, this time we were greeted and served by Shelly B. She was fantastic and so was our food. We ordered the chicken fajitas (actually came to us sizzling!) and they were on point for flavor. We also ordered the steak quesadilla which was also delicious.“

“Happened to be in Antioch with my daughter and stopped in The Lodge for a late lunch. I had one of the best, if not the best chicken wrap with fries. It was wrapped, then heated on the outside, delicious. My daughter had a grilled cheese with tomato with onion rings, she loved it. We were too full to eat desert, but we took a piece of homemade tiramiso with. It was a slice of heaven. Great service and wonderful food“

“My family and I went here today after my father's burial ceremony at the Southern Wisconsin Veteran's cemetery. We had a group of about 17 people. My mom had called ahead to make a reservation, and even though we were a little early, the staff was so kind to us, and very accommodating. Our food was great, the service was phenomenal for a group of our size, and my cappuccino was one of the most delicious I've ever had. I am so thankful to the staff for their patience and kindness. It made a big difference to my family and I on what was a difficult day for us. I definitely recommend them for breakfast/ brunch.“

“It was a busy night tonight for sure. I waited two hours plus for my food to be delivered and it came cold and missing items. I called and talked to a very nice and patient manager I believe her name was Jen. We knew this was not the norm for service and food cause I’ve been ordering for 8 plus years. Long story short they made the order again and delivered the food a second time. I appreciate the the staff and their understanding. Thank you for your great service and food!“

“I had never been here but heard good things about the place. Finally got to try it a couple weeks ago. The atmosphere was very relaxed and friendly. The food was fantastic! I had a couple small concerns with the service, but as I said it was my first time here so I don't know what their normal is. The waitress was very attentive to start and quite friendly. After the food was delivered, she didn't stop by much. She did check once but later would have been nice for additional napkins or another drink but she didn't come around. Not sure if she was letting us enjoy our food or wasn't paying attention to us. The other concern I had is becoming more common everywhere BUT it would have been nice to be warned that there was an extra fee for using a credit card. It wasn't a ridiculous amount but it would have been nice to be told when I handed over my credit card because I could have used cash instead. Overall, a good experience and the menu has more items that sound pretty good! Might need to try it again!“

“We never knew this place existed until stumbling upon it on Google Maps. It literally looks like just a house with a small sign out front. The bartender was very personable and the owner was the sweetest. Food was excellent! My boyfriend got the reuben which he loved! Thick sandwich with REAL meat (not lunch meat slices!) I got the garlic-lime shrimp skewers which were smokey and delicious! We can't wait to go back for the fish fry which seems to have amazing reviews! Glad we found this place!“

“Amazing details of old world craftsmanship all over the bar. Gorgeous paneling on walls and ceiling. Beautiful stained glass light fixtures. Delicious food. My husband and I enjoyed the burgers. Upgraded to the fries and tots. We will definitely be back!“

“Lily lake is definitely a family place. We celebrated our 50 th anniversary at Lily Lake. It was a perfect place for us to have it. I wanted a relaxing atmosphere for all . The kids that came swam in the lake. The food was wonderful. Jill could not have been a better person to work with In The planning. She made it a most enjoyable day. Thank you“

“I came to watch the band and noticed a sign on the wall talking about barbecue baby back ribs.I usually have a hard time finding places that cook them so they fall off the bone and melt in your mouth.This place said there's did and guess what? MY RACK OF RIBS TRULY DID "FALL OFF THE BONE AND MELT MY MOUTH" (for $20)Now, I might just come here to eat every week! lol“

“Five Stars!!! The Stumble Inn is a staple in the area! Whether you are after their world famous “Crispy Pig” or one of their other awesome burgers, this is it!!! Cold beers, great mixed drinks and a friendly waitstaff (and owner). You can’t go wrong!! Enjoy!“

“four and a half stars really... knocking off that half star bc i only give 5 full stars to complete standout/shout from the rooftop places. everything was good here - service, ambiance, food. the menu covers it all - mexican and tex mex plus all the margaritas and cocktails. really no complaints! the food is good, again nothing memorable but good enough to spread the word. our server was extremely attentive and personable and food came out fast. this is definitely not a typical mexican restaurant - it really is a pub with mexican food... with a bit of biker bar feel ;) lots of character!“

“They have many options. However, there are few varieties of food for vegetarian or vegan diners. The dinning room has spectacular views of Grass Lake.Vegetarian options: The vegetarian and vegan options are clearly labeled.Dietary restrictions: I saw the salad was the only option for vegetarian gluten free. It was delicious.Parking: It's a very small parking lot.Kid-friendliness: Kids are always welcome here.Wheelchair accessibility: There's a ramp to get to the door.“

“Went in there on a Thursday maybe around 2 with a buddy to grab a late lunch got two burger w/fries and 3 beers was not expecting one of the best burgers I ever tasted to come from here I'm guessing they get the beef fresh from a farmer down the road but idk it was superb one of those burgers u eat and think about for the next few days nothing special on it nothing fancy just your basic burger toppings the atmosphere is okay not the friendliest customers but they are just probably sick of people coming in from out of town and disrespecting there hang out spot it was rite after memorial day so I don't blame em the service was very good food arrived not long after ordering and everything was super fresh the lady behind the counter was a sweetheart very nice professional and friendly they have a cool smoking area in the back video poker and a electronic juke box I didn't stay long because I was on work break but wish I could. Everything was reasonably priced I think I payed maybe 30 bucks for everything I'm going back soon to try other items on the menu hats off to the cookVegetarian options: They offer a veggie burger“

“The service was excellent. The food was good and came out hot. They do not let food sit in the window. I had the country skillet, and it was good, but I am not a fan of sliced up sausage in my gravy. I prefer crumbled sausage. Sadly, the coffee was weak as it is in most restaurants. Boyfriend had the biscuits and gravy with hashbrown casserole. His biscuits were very flat but good.“

“Wonderful food, great service, nice view and atmosphere. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for good old fashion home style polish dishes and other favorites dinning out. The desserts were amazing as well! My table had a hard time choosing!Kid-friendliness: The kids enjoyed their meals and treats as well.“

“We love the Roost 59! The other day I accidentally ordered the "mack attack". After a long day I didn't read I just pointed.. I didn't know Mac and cheese was on it. I just thought grilled chicken and the works. It was DELICIOUS! Roost 59 never disappoints! ??“

“Fish fry was the best I've had in a while!VERY VERY BUSY!! Staff was great but service was kinda slow due to the amount of customers. Our experience was positive and we will go back. We will try to get there early next time! Things are tough all over but I thought they did a great job.“

“All you can eat Friday Fish Fry + baked French Onion soup was so freaking delicious. The rest of our table also enjoyed their salmon and broasted chicken dishes.We left feeling like this might be the best hole in the wall type restaurant in the area. We will be back to try breakfast soon :)“

“Had a blast at The Grove last night. Great food & service, fun & very talented entertainment, festive decor. Even won a little money at the slots.Vegetarian options: Very good wedge salad...not sure dressing was actually vegetarian.“

“Very good food at Ruby's in the back. Tried several items and all were great. Must try the pizza. As good as Luisa's on Hwy. 50. Happy hour is also great. Between 3 of us, 6 drinks came to $10.50 and they were top rail and microbrews.“

“I've been here a few times now since the change from Touch of Class and am always pleasantly surprised at the quality. The food is great, and usually exactly what I'm wanting. The chef has dropped by my table a few times after we've eaten just to make sure everything was good and what we were wanting. The service is always rather quick and polite too! The overall ambience seems to still be developing as time goes on but nothing bad. A great "burger" joint (with far more selections) that hopefully continues into the future.“

“The steaks came out perfect for the whole table. Everyone was very happy with the food. And the servers were pretty good too.If you haven't been here, try it and then visit their old stage stop upstairs. It's like walking back to the 1800's - vertical cool.“

“We do this thing called " Saturday Night Yummies " as a way to try out new places within about 20 minutes from our home . For the last 2 years or so , we end up with takeout from TinCAN at least 3 weeks out of the month . Their food never disappoints and is always sooooo good ! We apparently have changed the rules of "Saturday Night Yummies " to let's go to TinCAN instead of trying someplace new ! This morning , before most even had breakfast , we were talking about who was gonna order what from TinCAN. There are 9 of us in the house and we all love TinCAN Roadhouse ! Definitely giving it a thumbs up ! This is a gem !“

“I am proud to be an American and so is this bar. Perfect atmostphere for a relaxing drink after a hard days work, it is were all hardworking Americans go to unwind and have a great time. GOD Bless America and all you good people reading this post. Thank you.“

“The Friday fish fry/broil is wonderful!I got the combination which consists of 2 cod fried and 2 broiled. The potato pancakes also are a great side. The Brussel sprout appetizers are highly recommended as well!The prices are also very reasonable“

“We love Doyle’s! Family owned business. Atmosphere is great! Food is wonderful…….smash burger, cb&c, Reuben’s, Friday fish, pot roast……. It’s all good! And they know how to pour a Guinness, complete with the shamrock!“

“Service is on point. Very friendly people there. The set up of the bar is awesome. The food was good and the portion sizes were perfect. My mini corn dogs were a little dark. Maybe I caught them in need to change the oil day. Prices are typical prices for a bar. Just really amazed how well that bar is taken care of inside.“

“Stopped by on a random weekend after doing a "close our eyes and pick a random spot on the map for a road trip". We didn't have food, but sat for a few cocktails. The local crowd was so fun and our bartender "Fiona" was a kick. (Not her real name but she knows who she is!) Speaking some code here, Fiona, don't get caught doing the superglue trick! Hope to see you at "Cabana's" some day but if not we"ll be back for sure.“

“Visited for a wine tasting today - a special event and had an awesome time! Everyone was so friendly! It was organized and plenty of wine to try! They had a lot of great deals on wine and we left with a good supply of wine and cheese! We will be back to visit the restaurant.“

“Very clean and welcoming. Tony the Sunday bartender is awesome! He is so pleasant and polite. We have been going there on Sunday afternoons for the last few months. Tony is one of the main reasons we go there. He made us feel welcome from the very first time we tried the establishment.“

“Twin Lakes County Club/RedBarn. Always a great golf experience. Wedding and special events can’t be better for quality of dinning and venue. Friday fish fry happy hour challenge you to find better quality. Dinning staff friendly and great service.“
