Wedl's Hamburger Stand and Ice Cream Parlor

Reviewed By Redvette69 - Oconomowoc, Wi

Our on our motorcycles, and the delicious aroma had us turning in. The outside, sidewalk grill may seem like a novelty, but it produces the best burgers! Hanging out talking with other waiting customers is half the fun. And eating outside, under colorful umbrellas, just cant beat it. Not an ounce of pretentiousness, just simple good food.

The Edgewater Supper Club

Reviewed By LaCrosseIndians - Madison, Wisconsin

The Edgewater Supper Club, on the Rock River, in Jefferson WI - is the classic, "don't judge a book by it's cover". Ron Faiola's, "Wisconsin Supper Clubs" book highlighted The Edgewater Supper Club, that's why we decided to make the drive and give it try - and are we glad we did - WOW. We started at the intimate bar setting - with a Wisconsin tradition - Brandy Old Fashioneds - delicious, while we listened to stories from the bartender about the depression era where gangsters came to rob the place and then sit down for a home cooked meal - ask the bartender about the original "money drop". Our table was on the porch - overlooking the Rock River - the porch has a classic charm about it, low ceiling, slanted floor, eclectic table linens and dinnerware - makes you feel like you are having dinner at your Aunt Millie's...Our server was working hard that evening, doing double duty, and she was great - efficient, energetic, friendly and just hometown hospitable. I had a steak and "she" had fish - everything was delicious - they was a true Wisconsin dining experience, from the minute we walked in, to the story telling bar tender, bubbly waitress, half a bubble off center porch, relish tray, homemade bread to our main entrees - everything contributed to a fun and delicious evening at The Edgewater Supper Club - Thank you to everyone who made it fun and tasty. If you are in the Jefferson, Fort Atkinson area - stop by and visit The Edgewater Supper Club - you'll be glad you did, we sure were. Enjoy!

Jefferson Cafe is definitely a place where the locals hang out. The Southwest Omelette was large and filling. The atmosphere is definitely worth it with locals solving all the worlds problems. Great service, great price and great food! A must experience when visiting Jefferson, WI.

The Herons Landing

Reviewed By sshoe8 - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

We stopped in for dinner last night to visit with a friend from out of town. My wife found the place and from the reviews was willing to give it a try. However the service was extremely slow, took the better part of an hour to get drinks and place the food order. My wife had the Heron’s salad which she enjoyed. Our friend had the Salmon sandwich which looked good and he indicated it was good. I tried the prime rib sandwich which was mostly grilled mushroom and onions, very greasy and would not order it again. All told it took quite some time but gave us time to visit.

18 family members enjoyed a wonderful lunch at this great restaurant. The private room was perfect, the menu had a variety of choices at very reasonable prices, and the food was served promptly and was tasty and hot. Kevin, the owner, was extremely accommodating and was there to handle every detail.
We will be back!

Urban's Place

Reviewed By HOTROD37 - Sycamore, Illinois

Stopped in for breakfast before going to the Spring Jefferson swap meet and car show. Definitely is decorated in everything "Green Bay Packers", but it is kind of cool to look at all the memorabilia they haveeverwhere. Breakfast menu had many choices all at a really reasonable price. Cook DOES know the difference between over easy and over medium on fried eggs. Portions were large. Couldn't finish the two pancakes I got with my two eggs. Friendly service with the never empty coffee cup. Highly recommended if you are in the area.

This is a great place for a fish fry and in Wisconsin, we take fish fry very seriously.

Reviewed By barbjb84 - Watertown, Wisconsin

We had a great fish dinner. Everything was served HOT, just the way we like it. You have a choice of soup or salad with your meal. The fresh bread was wonderful.
I enjoyed my stuffed salmon which I never have had before. The only thing we were surprised was they don't take credit cards. We will be back to try other meals.

The Corner

Reviewed By Joolah

The food is FANTASTIC!!
The staff is AWESOME!!!
Jim is kind and generous!!!
I can't think of a more family friendly restaurant. There are no clowns, play equipment, streamers, screamers or confetti. Its about enjoying the food and being together. Plus the burgers are AMAZING. They have a nicely caramelized outside with a fresh meaty taste. Ohhhh so GOOD!!!
