Fifth Av Restaurant & Lounge - Fried chicken dinner with mashed potatoes.

My dining partner and I went to this restaurant on the recommendation of a local business owner…read more The place turned out to be pretty good (a 3.5 star but since Yelp won't give half stars, I'm giving a bump up). The way it filled up during our visit, it seemed to be a restaurant favored by the locals. While the decor is dated and the service was ho-hum, the menu offered enough variety for most anyone to find something to eat. I ordered the fried chicken and my partner had the burrito special. I started my meal with a salad from the salad bar. While it offered only a modest number of items, everything was fresh. I preferred the small salad bar to none at all. My chicken arrived steaming hot. It was moist and tasty. My mashed potatoes came with the gravy on the side as I ordered. Overall, I found it satisfied my hunger. My dining partner had the chicken burrito (which was recommended by the waitress). While hot and filling, my dining partner called it "alright" and lamented not ordering the chicken. Overall, the community suffers from too many fast food places and not enough local restaurants. If I visited again, I'd certainly opt for this restaurant versus any of the fast food joints.

Staff is Friendly! Quick service! Salad Bar is top notch and I have never had a menu Item I…read moredidn't like! Hardest part is choosing what to order.

A gourmet burger it is not!…read more But... for the price, you can't beat Chip's. Quick, efficient service, and a burger, fries, and soft drink with one refill for like $6 are features of this quaint, old-fashioned burger joint. All of the food is delicious, and to get anything better you have to go up to at least Culver's-level establishments and pay 2 to 4 dollars more. Friendly teenagers along with some more mature folks to keep an eye on things take your order and get the food prepared almost as fast as any actual chain fast-food place. Another reviewer mentioned Kopp's in the Milwaukee Area as a point of comparison. Kopp's burgers are bigger, but otherwise it's a fairly close comparison in style and substance. If you are camping at Council Grounds or otherwise cooling your heels in Merrill, a stop at Chip's followed by a stop at Briq's soft serve has to be on your list of activities!

Drive-thru only was a bummer. After we got our food, my wife wanted ketchup for her fries but…read moredidn't want to get back in line with the car. The onion rings were good, but you did not get many. I was really looking forward to the flame-grilled burger, and it was good, but it had so many condiments that I could not really taste the burger. What would have been helpful is if they had signs explaining what was on the various named burgers. I really wanted to like this place but would not likely return based on my one time experience.
