We like the road kill and burgers. Side salads and sweet potatoes are great. Peanuts are fun and rolls are delicious. Waitstaff are friendly and efficient. Often busy so waiting for a table is sometimes a long time. If you want a quiet dinner this isnât a choice for you. Itâs noisy with loud music and birthday celebrations.

We had marvelous prime rib recently, but my first choice would have been crab cakes. I have learned to ask if restaurants are really serving crab, or the seafood sticks commonly used to imitate crab. Our kind and honest server assured me it was really high quality imitation crab. I declined and this highlights one of my pet peeves used by many restaurants using the word crab falsely. Instead admit to the imitation or use Krab instead on the printed menu. I always feel like a snob asking, but the clientele should know what they are getting. I will surely go back as I love the place, will stick to items that canât be faked.

We visited Draft for a new place on our 34th wedding anniversary. We arrived a little early for our reservation and were seating promptly.Our server, Eric greeted us and took my drink order for a Karben4 Diet Starts Tomorrow beer. Nice choice.We ordered the Pot Stickers as a starter, the Bourbon Pub Burger with Truffle fries and the Gastro Tacos with lobster bisque soup.The Pot Stickers were great, the Pub Burger and Gastro Tacos were fantastic. The truffle fries and the soup were fabulous. We did not have dessert, but they (ny cheesecake or creme brulee) sounded delicious.We have to go back just to try many of the other menu items.

In 1978, we opened our first Machine Shed Restaurant on the outskirts of Davenport, Iowa. We had just 100 seats, but we started with a powerful commitment. That was a five-word constitution: âDedicated to the American Farmer.â That dedication meant we wor

We were not thrilled several years ago- but we decided to try it again. Went for an early Sunday dinner about 4 pm. Our waitress was pleasant, but downhill from there. The country fried chicken was very hot, however the mashed potatoes and corn were room temp. My hubs meal was all lukewarm. Our meals came out quickly, so it is not like they sat in the kitchen. We do not send back meals, we just choose other places to eat going forward.Hello, I am sorry to hear about your last two visits. We take pride in our award-winning restaurant and it sounds like your meal was not up to our typical standards. I have shared your feedback with our culinary team so they are aware and can make adjustments. Thank you for dining with us and bringing this to our attention.

Ate lunch here whilst I was staying in Appleton in business.Easy to find just South of the River Fox with plenty of parking.Nice decor with some great historical pictures of Houdini.Houdini claimed to have been born in Appleton (hence the link to the Town) even though he was actually born in Budapest Hungary in 1874.Yet âhungaryâ you will not be with the excellent menu in the gastro pub!There are some good deals too for lunch with âany two dishes $10â. I had chicken caesar and truffle mac n cheese. Portions are more European than American which is just right for me.Choice of beers is excellent too.Outdoor seating looked good although needs a few more shady tables to really make it work.I would return when I next visit Appleton.
5. Fratello's Riverfront Restaurant

I stopped onto Fratello's for a bite to eat. I opted for the special, crabcake sandwich. I'm not sure it was real crabcake. I like my crabcake with a brown, crunchy crust. This one was only slightly browned, center was cool to touch. Filling slopped out of sandwich like a alippy Joe. Bun should have been toasted. Taste ok. I hope I don't get sick later. View was lovely. I think the chef needs to pay more attention to details.

This is definitely upscale dining for Appleton. We ate here three time in one weekend because the menu was interesting and the quality was consistent. The best meal I had there was the soups vide skirt steak. Heavenly.At times the service can be a little sub par, like the time they brought out a dish with bred on it for one of our dining partners on it who was gluten free and had ordered his meal gluten-free.

Have been a long time happy customer until recently. Todayâs soup was chicken lemon and i envisioned the yummy version served in Greek restaurants. I had already planned our evening meal so decided to get some for take out. I was disappointed because it tasted just like a brand name chicken rice soup with a few free leaves in it. Not at all what I expected from Marks. Certainly not worth the $8 a scant quart.Have things changed? We havenât gone there to eat for awhile because the seats on chairs need replacing and you sink so low it is hard to get up and out of them. They do offer cushions but that is not much help.Dear Allez:Sorry you didn't like the chicken soup. We take pride in all of house made soups sorry it was not to your liking. Please reach out at your convenience and we would be happy to compensate you for the soup.Thank you for your post.Mark DoughertyOwner
