Specials are to die for. Main menu also very good. Best refried beans I've ever had. Very interesting cocktails. Usually easy to get a table. Prices are fair. My favorite restaurant in the Fox Valley.

The best carryout street tacos I've had this north of the Mason-Dixon Line! This family owned operation is only open Monday-Friday and only open from 11 AM to 7 PM. Recommend the Crazy Spicy Tacos. They aren't that spicy, but so delicious.

The place to go for great barbecue. Pulled pork, brisket, ribs... they have it all with plenty of different sauces to choose from. Kinda has a dumb farm decor to it but the food is really good.

This has been my favorite pizza place for the last 30+ years. Bar often has live music and trivia nights. Word of warning... Your clothing and hair will smell like Cranky's for days afterwards until you wash or air them out. Still worth it though.

You can get amazing soul food up here too! This place is authentic and legit if you need chicken & waffles or collard greens or whatever else you may be missing down south. Visiting NFL players occasionally visit here on Packer game weekends.

Drinks & Nightlife
Favorite dive bar. Weds-Sun the kitchen is open and is packed for Friday fish fry. Get there by 4:30 on Friday or you won't get a seat. Secret advice is that they serve fish fry Weds-Fri if you want to avoid the Friday crowd. Saturday & Sunday they bust out broasted chicken. Great authentic midwestern dive bar atmosphere with good music.
