Don't make the mistake we did and get full on the appetizer!! However we have no regrets. Between the 2 items we got, both David and I enjoyed the General Tso's slightly more!! The pasta dish had a slight lemony flavor though which was nice and refreshing tasting. Other than the cheese curds, both our meals felt healthier than the typical version of them. Definitely check out Thyme if you are looking for some delish farm to table food.

The warm honey was so very good & I wish I could eat them over & over again. My husband had the 14oz NY strip steak & it was cooked to perfection. He loved the chimichurri sauce & yummy sides. I had the wild mushroom-leek risotto with shrimp which was bursting with flavor. Our waitress was so lovely & did a great job at making us feel taken care of on a busy night. She was very knowledgeable about the menu & GF options. We really appreciated her service. The restaurant is cozy & warm which makes you feel right at home!!

We stopped in without a reservation and were told it would be about a 20-minute wait. They gave us a pager so we could wander around a bit, and the wait ended up being very manageable. There's also a full bar, and you definitely get the feeling this is a neighborhood kind of place -- we noticed quite a few regulars being greeted while we were there, which is always nice to see. My husband and I both ordered the fish and chips, and they were very good. The atmosphere is definitely casual rather than fancy, so come as you are and relax. It was extremely windy the day we visited, so the large garage-style doors were closed. I imagine having those open on a beautiful Door County day would completely change the feel of the restaurant. Overall, we had a perfectly nice experience. The food was good and the restaurant had a friendly, local feel. With so many restaurants to explore in Door County, I'm not sure it would be at the top of my list for a return visit, but I'm glad we gave it a try.

So I arrived at 5:25 to take advantage of this deal. The old fashioned was enormous and strong. A bit sweet and heavily iced. The appetizer salad was beautifully constructed with crunchy, wonderfully fresh veggies. And a ranch that was delicious (I don't usually love ranch). My entree was the chicken katsu which was huge and so crispy with a a sweet lovely sauce drizzled over it. And the cherry pie for dessert was the perfect ending. Even though I was stuffed, it was the perfect slice of cherry pie. A buttery, flaky crust balanced with the tart cherries.

Yes, you're probably going to wait for a table -- just expect it and enjoy the experience! Once you're seated and place your order, though, the food comes out amazingly fast. You can't go wrong with the authentic Swedish pancakes and lingonberries, and I think you get a great meal for the price. I also tried the Swedish Sangria made with Brut, Swedish Glogg & Fruit this time, and it was tasty! And then there are the famous goats on the grass-covered roof! Unfortunately, we arrived a little too late in the day and apparently the goats had already called it quits. We even walked around back looking for them! No goats, but we did get to see their little staircase leading up to the roof. Next time, we'll have to get there earlier! Whatever you do, don't leave without visiting the gift shop aka Butik! Give yourself some time because there is SO much to look at -- Door County souvenirs, clothing, ornaments, home decor, gifts and plenty of Al Johnson's goodies to take home. We loaded up on Swedish pancake mix, cinnamon sugar, Door County cherry jam and gifts for family and friends. I think I spent almost 45 minutes in there! After coming here for more years than I'm going to admit, Al Johnson's is still one of those quintessential Door County experiences. Come for the Swedish pancakes, look for the goats, browse the gift shop and enjoy a little piece of Door County tradition.

This is a We're-the-big-shots-in-town--aren't-you-so-lucky-you-get-to-dine-here?-Now-hurry-up experience. The service was rushed and the manner of the hostesses where you come in and where you pay is abysmal. No, really. I've never felt more like cattle in my life. The sour, amazingly unfriendly hostesses act annoyed you're even there the moment you walk in. No smile. No greeting. Only "What do you want? Stand there. Come this way." My wife apparently stepped too far past the host station and instead of, "I can take care of you there," the woman--without speaking a word and with a very annoyed expression on her face--walked in my wife's path and virtually pushed her in the direction she needed to be. After being rushed through our average meal, the person taking our money (all Al Johnson's wants) asked nothing about our meal, said no friendly word, made no eye contact, said no "enjoy your day" or "thanks for stopping in," only silently took the receipt and acted like it was an unwelcome interruption that I dared to even be standing there. I've been coming here since the mid-90s and wow has it changed. This place made their name with the Swedish pancakes and goats on the roof. They don't care anymore and they don't need to. You are a dollar sign and they will continue to be packed regardless. Do yourself a favor and go anywhere else. If you want a Door County classic, go to Julie's Cafe in Fish Creek. They're super friendly there and they aren't too big for their britches. Al Johnson's is a washed up, sub-par tourist attraction, one we will never be going back to nor recommending to anyone.

The staff was warm and welcoming from the moment we walked in. We ordered three dishes: the Norwegian herb-encrusted salmon over grilled root vegetables and quinoa, a New Orleans pasta with chicken, and a pistachio chicken open sandwich. Each one delivered. The salmon dish stood out for its char on the root vegetables and the quinoa, which had real texture and flavor. The dressing brought everything together in a way that felt considered, not just functional. The pistachio chicken sandwich was the sleeper hit. The chicken itself was exceptional, and it came paired with kettle chips that were better than any side chips have a right to be. The view of the water made the whole meal feel unhurried and easy, the kind of setting that makes food taste even better. Great food, attentive service, and a view that earns its mention. A complete experience.

The guacamole and dill dressing gave it a really nice flavor. My wife was happy with her Asparagus Quesadilla, it was full of flame roasted peppers, onions, tomatoes, asparagus, corn, black beans, wild rice, farmers cheese & spinach.

Packed into this little restaurant is an artisan storefront, a gelato window, a bakery, and a sandwich place. Wanting to try a little bit of everything, we got their cheese charcuterie and an Italian grinder sandwich to share for 2. Stellar, all of it. There was a great variety of cheeses on the board, including a truffle cheese and some kind of herbed goat cheese (which were my favorites), plus a mini brie and a blue cheese (boy's favorites). The board came with a bag of fresh baked focaccia slices on the side to spread the cheese/jams on and it was soooo good. The sandwich had toasty, melted cheese on the roll plus a seasoned tomato/lettuce situation that tied together all the meats so well. Definitely a napkin-heavy meal. They have a water station inside to grab cups, and carry-out bags/containers by request. Theres seating outside only that wraps around the building. Half of it was shaded. We actually left to walk around and came back for the gelato. They were actively putting out new flavors as we watched, so if you are waiting for one in particular just ask! You can split any size between two flavors, so i did chocolate and strawberry sorbet, boy did chocolate and cherry. I loved his cherry, it was so fresh and tart. The chocolate was rich and fit super well with the fruit flavors. They let you taste beforehand too, and the cranberry was also a hit for me! I both wish this was open closer to me and grateful that it's far away. Id be spending a lot more money here if it was nearby. DEFINITELY give them a try!!!
