Your Favorite Eastern Wisconsin Restaurant?

Jon, the owners of Blue Sky are friends of the family- one of them is the son of a woman my mom worked with for over twenty years (in Alabama of all places). After retiring, my mom's friend now works back on the baking-line at Blue Sky. Next time you're there, tell Tim Richard or Shirley that I said hi. :wave
 
Cuban Food

Cubanitas.

Downtown Milwaukee about 45 minutes from the rally site.

The owners are Cuban. This is the authentic thing...my wife grew up with this food.

The drinks will knock your socks off.

Prices are very reasonable.

We are there twice a month.
 
Best steak, fine dining

Ok, sure, burgers are everyone's friend and so are giant sandwiches.

My guess is that there are a few of you out there who are going to be on the prowl for a really great steak, cold beer, or fine wine with onion rings (this by the way is what I look for when I'm on vacation - hey it IS vacation!) Now I'm not talking about Outback Steak House either.

Look no further than Mr. B's Steak House in Brookfield (http://www.mrbssteakhouse.com/docs/home.html) Even though it's fine dining, my guess is that they wouldn't bat an eye if you should up in your riding gear (coat and tie NOT required.)

Make sure you have room on your credit card, a good steak runs $30.00 - $40.00 so you'll easily drop a C Note on dinner with a buddy no problem.

But let me say this; this is really one of the best dining experiences you'll ever find with a wait staff that is extremely attentive without be a pest. That first bite of the steak is the best and my eyes never fail to close and water. Cocktails are potent. :hungover

We don't go there very often because of the cost involved but when we do it's exceptional. The steaks are really the best I've had anywhere in the country.

By the way, I highly recommend the buttermilk dipped onion strings.

So forget Outback Steak House and crank it up a notch - you won't leave Mr. B's dissappointed.
 
Typos...geeze.

Sorry for all the typos in the above message....my fingers were moving a little quick today. :banghead

I'm usually a good spellr ;)

At the Slimey Crud Run, someone was talking about a new place called IIRC, Quick Lube that had race cars on the ceiling and supposedly good food?

Locals can correct me on the name and quality of food as appropriate.
 
Sirloin tips

Whenever we go to Elkhart Lake we always hit Schwartz Supper Club in St Anne. It's about 10 miles north of Elkhart Lake in the middle of nowhere. The Sirloin tips are excellent.
 
I live very close to Holy Hill church and if you are looking for a small quiet place with a very warm feel to it with absolutely incredible food you must try The Alpine Retreat. From seafood to great steaks you can not go wrong with anything on the menu! The chef keeps the menu small due to only serving whats in season. The resturant is fairly small so make reservations ahead of time. This is just east of the Holy Hill church.
Here is a local write up along with the contact info
http://www.onwisconsin.com/dining/dining.asp?id=3270

If you're looking for a fantastic fish fry (and MJ Stevens is all packed up) goto Johnny Manhatan's in Hubertus. Only about a 10 or 15 minute ride from the fair grounds.

Here is a small write up...

Johnny Manhattan's
The fish fry ($8.95) is fish fry in the traditional Wisconsin sense: all-you-can-eat fried cod with the classic accompaniments. The curtain opened with fresh mayo-based coleslaw and pasta salad with tuna, red onion and celery. Then warm, moist rye bread. The fish came with choice of fries; sugar-dashed potato pancakes with applesauce; or warm German potato salad. The fish made a bee-line from the oil to our table courtesy of our outgoing, accommodating server. The flaky, mild cod was coated in a tasty batter that kept its crunch straight through to the moist fish. Our conversation tapered to monosyllables of agreement as we worked through our (second) plates. Note: JM's popularity had our party of three spending close to an hour at the bar (reservations accepted for eight or more). Fri 4-10 p.m. 3718 Hubertus Rd., Hubertus, 262-628-7700.
 
Mader's

Wenever I'm in Milwaukee (or close) Mader's it is....8:00 reservation on Saturday PM
