The boyf and I stumbled across The Port of Kenosha Beverage House two weeks ago, driving home a different way than we usually would go so that we could potentially stop at the 22nd Ave Dairy Queen. Heading westward on 50th St, the red neon sign that read "The Port" on the front of a house caught both of our eyes for the first time. We vowed to check out this bit of potential awesomeness before I returned to Atlanta and finally did so tonight. And yes, it is as awesome as the red sign intimates. No, The Port doesn't have a kitchen. And no, it doesn't take plastic, so plan ahead or use the ATM inside. But it does have the fabulous, laid-back dive bar vibe, tons of places to sit and hallways to meander, and the best-stocked jukebox I've seen in a long time (Nine Inch Nails, Beck, Prince, Bowie, Dwight Yoakam, the Go-Go's = yes, please). And it's clean, aesthetically pleasing (check out the wood detailing on the covered and screened back patio), and warm and fuzzy (case in point, the optimism painted on the walls of the ladies' rest room). And, duh, it has good drinks, too, from cans of Busch to summer ale on tap to summer mixed dranks (I can personally vouch that their $5 pints of Blue Hawaiians and Hurricanes are delicious, strong, and colorful). "If my [dude] friends came to visit me in Kenosha, this is definitely the place I'd take them," reports the boyf. Living far away from Wisconsin, they are unlikely to do so anytime in the near future, but I know that I'll definitely be pulling for return visits whenever I'm in the 'nosh.

Our burger club always ventures a little further out during Thanksgiving and the summer when our…read moreschedules are a little lighter, so in 2025, we ventured out to Kenosha for The Garage. It was a weeknight, but the street we were driving up to get here was a little dark and run down. But don't let that deter you. They have a nice sized parking lot for their location. Then we walked inside and found a narrow room with a bar running the length of one long wall and counter height tables and chairs perpendicular to the opposite wall. They really jammed in as much as they could in the space that they have. The ambience was dark and moody. They were playing hard rock and the bar had a couple of regulars sitting inside. At the end of the bar at the far end, was a cubicle of a kitchen. That's where the magic happens. Their menu is simple: appetizers, burgers, and build your own burgers. That's it. We all built our own burgers and they have a LOT of options. However, the build your own may start at $9, but each topping adds to the cost. But who cares? The burgers were phenomenal! Their website clearly states, "Best burgers, ever." And they're not wrong. The burgers were juicy, flavorful, and delicious. Probably one of the best burgers I have ever had. And everything is made in this tiny area at the end of the bar. We were the only people in the place after about 20 minutes, but again, who cares. The staff were extremely friendly. Their playful banter and bickering when they cleaned up was hilarious to listen to, and they were lovely to talk to as well. One of our group wanted to pick up some Spotted Cow beer (you can't get it in Illinois) and asked about a place to get it nearby. They suggested Shenanigan's with a drive-through just a couple blocks away. We have to make another trek back. They are awesome and their burgers are great, too!

You can't talk to Shane without laughing at SOMETHING he said, he is one of the funniest people ever at all times while still being great at his job lol, he was one of my favorite people to ever work with and he never believed me when I told him that. He don't even realize how likable his personality and sense of humor is. You can have the best food in the world, which Ron's does because Shane cooks it ;) but also having good people behind the scenes makes all the difference, and Shane is definitely one of those people. WE LOVE RONS AND WE LOVE SHANE!!!

If you live up North, in the Northern suburbs, you realize that you have a great advantage in that,…read moreyou can shop and eat around Old Orchard or you can drive into the city and enjoy downtown or a neighborhood spot. However, you can also drive North, into Wisconsin, which is just 40 minutes North. We like to shop at Pleasant Prairie Outlet and after shopping for about five (5) hours, you will get really hungry. Hence, we almost always visit Tenuta's because there isn't quite anything like it by me. But that's a different review... I say all that to say, after getting Italian meatballs, cookies, and Cannolis from Tenuta's, you will immediately notice Ron's Place, right across the street!! They have a local and dedicated following. Yes, you will see Green Bay Packers decorations and people in Packers clothing, gasp!! But!! Their burgers are incredible and so are the cheese curds. They are also known for their Long Island teas but it's kinda early for me when I come here. Check out my pics - I always get the cheese curds, chicken strips, I've switched it up from time to time with my burger selection. Today, we got the extreme burger and it's definitely shareable, it's a gigantic double patty cheeseburger (I selected American cheese). Great service, cool & local Vibes, diners are usually talking shop, the people sitting next to you will be catching up and talkin about Jack and Diane. You can look directly into the open kitchen and see them preparing the great plates of food. Look at the pics on the wall and you will see a pic of McMahon in Packer uniform - the Packers won the Super Bowl that year...sigh...
