It wasn't crazy busy, but there was a good crowd around. The servers/bartenders were super nice and fast. I think our food and drinks were both ready within five minutes of ordering. They were very personable and nice. We ordered an assortment of apps and sandwiches for lunch. The fries were delicious, crispy, and perfectly seasoned.

We had a group of 6 and thought that since it was well past the lunch rush, it probably wouldn't be too busy. We were wrong. On the Friday before Labor Day, the place was poppin off. Most of the tables were taken and the bar stools were all full up. Three staff members were runnin' the show. Two behind the bar and one working the flat top. They admitted they were understaffed and were trying their best to keep up. I appreciated their honesty and they did a terrific job! Hard work and honesty go a long way. The burgers were delicious and the bier was ice cold. That's all I need. We will be back.

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

That's okay, we said to each other, we'll just enjoy our beer and be patient. Well, it turns out there is a limit on our patience. After an hour (during which the waitress had not returned), we asked how much longer the fish fry would take, and were told at least 30 minutes more. We paid for the beer and left, and went to another place with an excellent fish fry served fresh within 15 minutes. Believe the warning in the note.

Burgers were a bit greasy, but that is the point. They were delicious. Onions grilled perfectly. Petals were crispy as any generic onion petals would be. Stuffed spuds? Not stuffed hardly. Those were a disappointment. Overall, nice environment, good bar food, and not too busy. Would come again if in the area.

Hungry and on your way to Door County?…read more Just North of Green Bay and unless you're (backroad smart) you are of course traveling NORTH on either Highway 57, 42 or County Trunk S to the Door Peninsula so why not treat yourself to some great local food and warm friendly people? Look no further than Joe Rouer's or just "Joe's Bar" in Duvall, Wisconsin. It's on your way to Door County and a visit to this local institution is simple and easy from any of the routes North. On Highway 57, pick up County Road "X" and you will be traveling East not more than a mile or so to Duvall. You will be greeted promptly with a smile as you enter and if you're lucky, the charming "Melanie" or "Heather" will serve you in two shakes of a lambs tail! I recommend the Cheeseburger, Dill Pickles, and White Cheddar Cheese curds although all of their offerings are delicious creations developed over time and of particular note is their Chili. It's tasty and amazing! On draft is a curated variety of beer and there's nothing like a cold Blue Moon draft with a generous slice of fresh orange. Top this off with any of their desert creations and you will be full - but not too full! Lastly, depending on where you're from you will be pleasantly surprised that they don't gouge you when it's time to settle up. I have always found it reasonable and inexpensive for a good quality lunch or dinner. I have been coming here since 1976 and think it's a great place to break up your Door County journey with some good food and localized vibe.

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.

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.
