We think it is the second best burger (after Sobelman’s) but many think it’s the best. The cheese curds are definitely the best of the city. Beware of flying peanuts.

This is an old school Wisconsin supper club. We think it is by far the best steak in the city and the best we have ever had. That said, be careful. While the restaurant is safe, it is off the beaten path and you should not walk around the neighborhood after dark
