This place is legendary and we finally got to stop in. Old school, no frills, diner with vintage…read morevibe. It's a simple, limited menu but they do what they do really well. There is no fryer so no fries or onion rings but they do offer a bag of classic Lays chips in case you need that salt or crunch. Strawberry and Butterscotch malts/shakes are amazing and I think a must. We each had a double cheeseburger with the works (ketchup, onion, pickle). Note: you can also request butter or mustard. But you need to ask for that even if you say, "the works". Burger was good, it's really inexpensive and fast. I can see why there is a following for this place. Cash or check only.

We wanted a quick snack while driving from the UP to Green Bay and came upon The Dairy Barn. As we…read moredrove in, we thought the place was inside of the nearby gas station, but we quickly found that it was a separate building with quite a number of cars and customers surrounding it. There was a nearby setup of picnic tables and all seats were taken, with people eating burgers, custard, and other treats. To order, there's a choice of either a drive through, or you can queue up at one of the windows in front. We just wanted a small snack and ordered two items. Service is quite quick; everything only took a couple of minutes to come out. Extra Small Pistachio Frozen Custard ($2) - This was the weekly special and we got the very last dregs in the frozen custard machine. We saw the employee using a spatula on the top of the machine to push through the rest of the custard. As such, we're not sure if the custard was the freshest and best churned or not. The sweetness of the custard, mint green in color, first comes through, followed by a bit of artificial pistachio flavoring. The strange thing is that we had pistachio frozen custard from another place the previous day and this tasted exactly the same. I wonder if everyone just uses the same commercial pistachio custard base and churns it differently? This particular one is quite smooth and creamy, but also a bit on the softer side and less dense than other frozen custard I've had. I can't complain when this is only $2 though. (4/5) Fried Cheese Curds ($4) - I read about the curds here on social media and I have to agree that these are quite good. The batter on the exterior is pretty thick and fried to a fantastic crisp. The interior is stretchy, milky, squeaky as they stick to the teeth and have a more firm chew. The exterior batter has quite a bit of salt added after it comes out of the fryer, making this a treat that almost begs for custard or some other sweet beverage/treat on the side. (4/5) I'm not sure there is anything that they actually make in house, but hey, the prices are so cheap and they execute everything well enough that it makes me not care. I wouldn't make The Dairy Barn a destination for food or anything, but it's a solid place to visit while you're on the road. Note that they change the special custard flavor every week starting on Wednesday until they run out, so if you insist on the special flavor don't wait until Tuesday! Bathrooms - One single unisex room located on the right side of the exterior of the building. Overall rating of the food this visit: 4/5

Might be the best fish fry we have ever had! Wow this was really good! Located on the outskirts of…read moreSturgeon Bay, as we pulled up we noticed the vehicles parked on the street. The parking lot was full so we parked on the street on the other side of the restaurant. Usually a good sign when a place is that busy, especially early in the evening. Since their patio was full we decided to order our meal to go and do some car side dining. We were told about 30 minutes. Also a very nice gesture by the staff that offered a glass of water while we waited. Before we knew it, our meals came out. The perch was perfect and there were so many pieces. Tender and flaky with a light and tasty breading. Homemade tartar sauce, coleslaw and potato salad that had some pickles in it. Fries were also crispy and hot. It seems like as we ate our fish, there were more pieces stacked below. Probably at least 6 pieces. Our meal also came with some rye bread with butter. We talked about how great this meal was for quite a while. Friday night fish fry is legendary in WI. This was a legendary meal!

Food is good, hours are wonky but we don't complain, ambiance is on the most beautiful place with fast efficient service. I remember as a kid the game room and bar that stuck out taking up the entire restaurant. Then our distant cousin bought it, reconstructed the inside and began selling pizza but closed then after and sold to someone who named it "the Tin plate" (didn't last long at all lol..) and now the current owners - which is a perfect fit. Always top tier service, so SO glad to see this place serve its intended purpose exactly how it's supposed to be

If you weren't looking for it or didn't know it was there, you'd never find it. Pretty modern looking brick structure, loaded with US Military decorations. There were a few tables outside with a great view of the lake and a handful of tables inside. Most everyone was seated at the bar. A pool table, air hockey game, a pin all machine, and a jukebox provided entertainment. We got mozzarella sticks and cheese curds for appetizers. Both were tasty! They use some sort of seasoning that made them extra good. A few of our group had a simple hamburger, cheeseburger, and bacon cheese burger. No complaints! I tried the Article 15 burger. Admittedly, it looked like a mess when it came. Pretzel bun, tasty burger patty, cheese, cole slaw, and a ton on their namesake sauce. The sauce covered the bottom of the basket. It was an awesome burger!! The coleslaw was amazing and the sauce was a perfect compliment. Also, my side, their home fries, were really good! Another person in our group got the breaded shrimp and she was raving about it. "Up north" here in Pound, WI the service is a little bit slower than we are used to, but it was not a bad wait. There was only one bartender/waitress and a cook. They both were working hard to take care of everyone. Well worth the short wait for everything. Highly recommend this hidden gem!!

But the pricing was fair. Just overall eh.
