    Being my first visit here I had high hopes. Unfortunately, I left disappointed. My Cajun Chicken Sandwich was cold and undercooked. The textire was tough, possibly die to it being undercooked. The dining area upstars was not, but the food left a lot to be desired. I will not be back.

    Blue Badger is part of the Racine Petrol stop off Exit 333. It occupies the entire second floor, and is a great space with high tops, low tables and a long bar. They also offer live music and several video gambling machines. Food is made in the Airstream downstairs and delivered via trolley. My husband had the cod fish sandwich with coleslaw side, and I ordered the Wisconsin Cranberry Chicken wrap with garlic parmesan fries. The cod was extremely flaky and tender, and the brioche bun very buttery. The wrap had a great balance of flavors and textures, with the craisins and bleu cheese being an exceptional combination. The fries came hot and crispy, and while the garlic parmesan flavor was tasty, I felt they could have used a little more. Blue Badger is a great place to stop on your travels. Good food, great service and a casual atmosphere. A nice alternative to the usual fast food options seen passing through.

    Stopped here by chance after making a pit stop to purchase O&H Kringles. The food was ready and sitting, but I still took a chance with the chicken sandwich and mashed potatoes. Both were pretty good. I just wish the sandwich was crispy. It was sitting there for awhile and it wasn't crispy at all. The taste was good though. If just ask for a fresh sandwich next time. I'll be here for future trips, but may try something else on the menu.

    Good stopping point for a road trip. I enjoyed my meal here and thought that it offered decent value for the money. The salad I ordered had a decent amount of chicken and toppings. I also really enjoyed the warm potato salad and beans/rice. Is it super unique food? No. But it was fairly good overall. As far as atmosphere: The rooftop deck was very nice. Really good place to eat and hang out. They have a gazebo and comfortable seating as well. Overall: recommended!

    O&H Kringle. Sells out fast!!

    This place is adorable. The perfect travelers' stop on Hwy 41. Lots to see, great place to stretch, gasoline, O&H's incomparable baked goods, and a darling bar and grill where your food literally rides a zip line to the mezzanine level dining area. Great views, good food; kind, friendly, professional service.

    One of the most unique bars I have been to when it comes to "truck stop" restaurants. While the method of food delivery to your table may be unconventional, it is certainly fun. You can sit in the spacious bar and lounge area or the outdoor patio and order from diner style food from the kitchen downstairs after which it will be delivered to your server/bartender via a zip line-gondola basket thing. Get some fried curds. Everything was wonderful. I am glad there are still some unique truck stop bars left in the world. Wisconsin rules.

    Fun truck stop restaurant with a unique pulley delivery system from the fried chicken in the airstream trailer on the first floor up to the second floor bar. The food is okay, service is often short handed. If you're traveling along this stretch of I 94, plan to eat here and fuel up.

    Sometimes you wonder why a place exists. So-so food, short-handed staff, cavernous place with TV screens flickering everywhere.

Its open early 7am till 3pm except Sunday where they close at 2pm. Greek owned. Jimmy is the best line cook. You will occassionally hear cursing/ yelling --but line cooking and running a restaurant is the toughest job in America from what I've seen in my many years of restaurant work. Just cover the kids ears if you have to. Its not every day. But if you want the best consistent grill cooking, thats the Meadows. Its been in biz for 40 years + and its really tough to run one in this economy. HOWEVER--Nobody cooks as well as Jimmy or has the nose for quality like he does. Its a decent menu--not fancy. No eggs benedict here and no biscuits and gravy! Here are my faves to consider: 1. BLT 2. Patty Melt 3. Burgers 4. Monte Cristo 5. All Skillets (preferably all three meats) 6. French toast (the meadows) 7. Country Boy 8. Microcut thin Ham , fried egg , cheese on Croissant 9. Navy bean or Lentil soup (when he makes it) 10. For ham lovers you gotta get the Ham steak. Its incredible. 11. Ham Melt and fries 12. Denver with spinach and extra onion with cheddar omelet. 13. Fish sandwich with cheese and fries. Jimmy has best homemade tartar sauce. Tip: Thursdays and Saturdays are a great day to come. Sundays are really busy so you will wait cuz there are church groups and the like. The restaurant has a lot of groups, parties of people because they have a room in the back with lots of sunlight. The bathrooms I'm not crazy about. Just outdated. Usually clean. You can get higher quality Olive oil and peaches from Greece there. The best bee honey because it's Jimmy's hobby when he's not cooking.

    WOW! I am a first time visitor from Minnesota and I can vouch we do not have apple orchards to this…read moreextent in our state. Apple Holler was glorious. The land is 78-acres which allows for lots of steps, various areas such as the children's section, goat animal area, restaurant, pick your own apples, wedding venue barn along with farm shop and bakery. Visiting here will expose you to apple cider donuts (some of the best I have ever had), apple cider slushies, coffee, cookies, pickled vegetables, apple butter, wine, and games such as Holler Hoops, Skee ball, Giant Slide, corn maze and the golden goat bridge which showcases dwarf goats crossing high above and down ladders. The pick your own apples is spendy, but I justify the price by the amount of work it takes to run this establishment, the quality of products and joyous customer service. For 2 small bags, it was about $58.00. To pick, you can walk or hop on the hayride train. We took the hayride out to the orchard and ended up walking and wandering back. The hayride is worth going on because it will take patrons through a forest that has whimsical paintings on the trees resembling Alice in Wonderland. *note: be aware that if you attend after rainfall like we did, the grounds are extremely muddy and it is best to wear appropriate footwear. As we were traveling, we only had 1 pair of shoes with us and had to be very selective on our apple picking, whereas if we were locals, we wouldn't mind wet feet and mud. Apple Holler is a memory making space and who doesn't love memories. The bathrooms were even top notch which should give flavor into how well kept the property is. If we had more time in the area, I'd for sure return to check out the Red Barn Restaurant which serves both breakfast and lunch all day. Bravo, Apple Holler! Consider your new slogan (thanks to one of your staff members), "If you need anything, just holler." This could be plastered on t-shirts and said by staff walking around just like Kwik Trip says, "we'll see you again soon."

    We've gone here for years and it's pricey but great!this year was so disappointing on every level…read more Go carts are broken and littered all over the track. No supervision so the few carts that work are driven by the same people numerous times around the track. No discounts for children or seniors and the small bags provided are now pint bags - barely holding any apples. Or bards are full of weeds and hardly any apples at all! Couldn't even find enough to fill our pint bags. I think this is the last year here for us - so sad!
