Really good fish fry! Drinks are strong at a reasonable price. Definitely small town vibes. Service was great & they had live music.

All in all, a great fish fry stop! We made reservations since we heard it gets busy. They had already run out of perch due to shortages, so that was a bummer. They also said the kitchen was backed up but it made sense with how much they were turning out. We were seated and we put in an order for some wings - fried perfectly and juicy. It took a while to get our drinks throughout the night, but our server was very friendly. We got the cod and shrimp at our table. Some of the best cod in the area! Seasoned well, crispy coating, and good sized. The meals also came with choice of potato, rye bread, tartar sauce and coleslaw. We will definitely be back for that cod. And hopefully the perch!

I can't believe I'm writing a review for The Depot before Stephanie H.! She and her mom turned me on to this place and it has been our go to for Friday Fish Fry in Caledonia/Racine. Or, if you're sitting at our table (and many others), a Friday Fish Bake! That's right. The Depot is very well known for their delicious baked cod. Seasoned beautifully, served on a bed of arugula, and a side of red buttery potatoes, this dish brings a bit of sophistication to the neighborhood. There ain't a whole lot goin' on around here except for the train chugging along the tracks every 15 minutes or so, hence the Depot name. Also recommended is the panko breaded perch, macaroni & cheese and possibly one of the fish on special. But overall, that cod bake is the way to go. Every time I've gone, the place is packed with hungry seafood eaters and happy drinkers. I've only come on Friday nights though, so just base this review on that fact. I recommend reservations unless your ok with a 30+ minute wait.

Erv's Mug: Located in Oak Creek, WI just south of Milwaukee, Erv's Mug opened just over 45 years…read moreago in 1979 by Erv & Barb and is still family operated today. There is a small portion for outdoor seating, but it's the interior that makes this place unique. A panoply of saloon memorabilia covers the walls and ceiling in its entirety. It is an impressive site to behold. It was neat spotting some of the items that are also in my personal collection, and I could write all day about the décor, but this is a food review. My family and I dined there on 8/5 for my brother's birthday. I'll begin by saying our waitress Cindy did an excellent job as she was friendly and attentive. For my entrée, I went with the Monterey Steak Bites, which is listed as an appetizer on the menu. I'm not the largest guy, so the 6oz of grilled black angus steak was plenty for me. The bites are sauteed with white wine, mushrooms, garlic butter, and topped with a layer of melty Monterey Jack Cheese. Everything about this dish was perfect. My steak was tender and juicy, the mushrooms were abundant, large, and fresh, the garlic flavoring was noticeable but not overpowering, and the plethora of cheese was more than enough to satisfy this cheesehead. If there was any negative to it, it would be that it was so rich, I had a bit of a stomachache after, but that's why I don't eat this way all the time. Almost forgot to mention, it comes with a tiny cocktail fork that was ideal for spearing the steak and mushrooms. Phenomenal job, Doughboy approved Doughboy_Food_Reviews *The plethora of drinks on the menu was also impressive

I've been to Erv's a few times and it's clearly a community favorite because it's always packed! So…read moremuch fun stuff to look at though around the inside of the restaurant to keep you from getting bored or if your server takes a minute longer than you'd like, although service is always fast and friendly when I've been here. The food itself is okay. Although the menu itself is pretty big, I have a hard time finding flavorful healthier options when I go in. I've had the salads and bowls but was still underwhelmed in the flavor department, especially if I'm skipping on the dressing. Others I know think the food is good so give it a whirl, everyone has different tastes!

Wow! What a spectacular evening at Sebastian's!…read moreCelebrated my husband's birthday along with a hometown reunion of his siblings here the other evening and it was PERFECT. The food was absolutely delicious. The atmosphere is spot on and gives you exactly the feel you want in a fine dining establishment. But the thing that makes this restaurant stand far above most others is the service! From the minute we walked in, we encountered nothing but genuine smiles and a sense that everyone there seemed to really care and be invested in us having a wonderful experience in their place of business. We were greeted at the front desk by a team of radiant ladies at the host stand. It seriously felt like they were happy to see us! Violet was especially kind and gracious and we enjoyed a short chat with her. The bartender was pleasant and efficient in taking our large varied order, and the drinks were solid. The bus and runner staff all were personable, polite and expedient. But the true star of our night was our waiter Brandon! He was spectacular. There were 15 of us and he handled our large table calmly and skillfully. He handled our indecisiveness, modifications, add ons, questions and loud revelry, professionally and expertly, never loosing his composure or patience. He definitely made our night. Thank you Brandon. We live in New York and most of the others live in Milwaukee and Minneapolis now, but Racine is the hometown and the 4th of July is a kin to a sacred holiday. The parade not to be missed! So I'm sure many a visit back is in our future, and the next time we do, I will make sure Sebastian's is on the top of our must do list! So please stay wonderful! Five stars!

Service was exceptional from Michael - I would come back just for him! Food was solid - I am taking…read moreoff a star because I asked for my filet medium and it came out purple raw. I asked them to cook new pieces, because the steak came with yellow peppercorn like sauce all over and if they refried the same pieces the sauce would turn them into a hockey puck... well they brought me out the same pieces. Kind of turned me off, but Michael was so nice and asked me to pick something else. I got the steak frites instead and they were exceptional! Also had the desserts and they were to die for. I was there traveling for work and will go back if I am back in town again!

Prices are amazing for the quality of food and the amount you get…read more As far as Ambiance this isn't a date night kind of diner. 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.

Here's a draft for Meadows Cafe: Good, friendly service and a very pleasant atmosphere. I ordered…read morethe J and K skillet, but the gyro meat wasn't a favorite -- I only ate about half of it. Overall, it's an older-style establishment, but the service and vibe made it a nice visit.
