This is a very comfortable place to go for fine dining. The owner is very involved and friendly. The staff is experienced and attentive. I asked if they could make the prohibition ETA drink, the Sidecar. The bartender looked it up on her phone and made me the perfect Sidecar! The food is just excellent!! You must come for a relaxing evening with good friends! read more

Meade Street Bistro - The perfect Sidecar - Bars Near Me - Appleton, Wisconsin

A colleague suggested this spot for dinner and WOWZA am I glad she steered us towards Meade Street. I now have such a strong affinity for this Appleton gem. First off, the spot is unassuming from the outside as it's part of a small strip mall but step inside and you'll find a large open space, dimly lit, bustling with activity. We started dinner on the early side but after 30 minutes, the place was active. Service was so lovely, above and beyond - our server made sure to tell me several times throughout the meal that if I didn't like anything, she would send it back to the kitchen or have the bar remake any drink. Not every restaurant says this upfront and repeats it. The spotlight was our scallop and risotto dish - which I highly recommend. It was rich, filling, generously portioned and simply delicious - 5 large scallops over a large bed of cheese and corn risotto. read more

Food was good not a knock out of the park on the expensive side, the waiter was great! Our group was very uncomfortable with someone that works there that lingered around our table and very very overwhelming friendly.. read more

Service was wonderful! Love the atmosphere. I enjoyed my experience! I would recommend this adorable bistro to all.

My Fiancé and I tried Meade Street Bistro this past Saturday night and overall left wishing for more. First, it's a cool spot. There's a large glass garage door that opens up to the front of the building where there's abundant outdoor seating that flows into the indoor dining room. We grabbed a spot at the huge bar. Serena, are bartender, was great. We ordered a couple of Wisconsin Old Fashions that were excellent. The menu is fairly diverse and if you are a vegetarian or vegan, you have close to dozen options to choose from. We started with the standard affair cheese curds which were lightly breaded and tasted well with the side of Ranch. This was the high point of our meal. I'm a sucker for Beef Stroganoff, so I ordered it. My Stroganoff wasn't bad but tasted way to much like the one I've had from Hamburger Helper box as a kid. The meat was chewy and tasted like cheap sirloin. I expected something a little better for $27. My Fiancé's veggie stir-fry was a similar story. She was served a large bowl of mostly teriyaki drenched rice and fewer than expected veggies. Disappointed as we were with our choices we both agree we'd go back and try something else on the menu. read more

The drinks are my favorite...and I think the food is pretty good. I've been here a few times and have tried different things on each visit. I really enjoyed the different flavors of Mules, with grapefruit being my favorite. The cheese curds are pretty delicious and served with pesto ranch...yum! We got the cheese curds on every visit~ The Bacon Avocado Burger was yummy! But I think the Steak Sandwich was my absolute favorite. The fries are incredible...and dipping them in the pesto ranch is a yummy treat! I love a good margherita pizza - but this is not my favorite variation. I would recommend sticking to a sandwich instead. read more

The food was pretty good - we got the fish tacos and app sampler. Very flavorful and good portions. Nothing to complain about in terms of options or flavor. However, our overall experience wasn't great due to the service... we were greeted and seated promptly, but once our food was brought out, we didn't see our server for 20+ minutes. Might not have been a big deal but our order was messed up and we couldn't eat it... server never checked on us and immediately disappeared into a back room with the bartender and there wasn't one staff person accessible in the restaurant. When they finally came back out, 3 tables were flagging them down to pay their bill, and our food had been sitting/cold for 30min then by the time she got to us. They didn't offer to reheat or anything - just changed out the sides and sauces that were mixed up... we just got a box, paid, and left. Really disappointed. The ambiance is lacking too - kind of a hodge-podge of themes and the space is large but long/deep and awkwardly laid out. Feels like you're eating in someone's garage. read more

Perch dinner was so fishy, worst perch I've ever had for $25. Coleslaw was warm, service was bad. They brought up religion and made us very uncomfortable. The server was being very touchy to all of us. I will never be coming back. Only thing good was the ambiance. read more

The food was okay... We got 2 steaks that were supposed to be medium rare and they were well done. I got a house moscato that was in a really dusty glass and there was dust in the drink. When I got my salad it was fine except there was a large chunk of bad wilted soggy lettuce. (Felt like I had slime in my mouth...) service could be better but I felt bad for the staff since there was only one server and the hostess kept disappearing so she had to do that on top of serving and bartending. Overall really eh and I wouldn't come back... read more

The owner of this restaurant is clearly on drugs or drinking LOTS of alcohol. Was very rude to her customers after messing up their order. Then took it out on her bar staff in front of us. Wanted to give this place a second chance after I came in last week and was told they were out of almost every item. - Don't think I will be back read more

Great food, service and fun drinks. They have an open garage door with outdoor seating option. I had the Meade street salad with salmon and will go back for it again! read more

Tried their food truck today, burgers and fries were great and staff were awesome! Would definitely go back.

My wife and I had an outstanding experience during our visit to MSB last night. We were immediately welcomed as we walked into this trendy, spacious and inviting atmosphere. It was very busy, but with the layout--deep and roomy--with nice soft music in the background, it was a great place for couples, families and groups to carry on conversations while enjoying fantastic food. The stylish bar provides tasty beverages. The Bistro has a diverse menu with many healthy choices mixed in. The wild rice and mushroom soup was SO GOOD. I had the GF perch (batter was better than traditional Wisconsin fish fry's) and it was excellent with a nice portion. My wife had the salmon and she was happy with her delicious choice. Be sure to try their desserts, all homemade in-house, and they are delectable. The service was fantastic--energetic, friendly and attentive. Serena took exceptional care of us along with other staff topping off our water, checking on us and clearing plates. Meade Street Bistro is a true Appleton gem, an amazing place with excellent food, wonderful service and ambiance. Highly recommend you visit! read more

Popped in on whim on a Tuesday evening just after 6 and was able to grab a table. Very personable and welcoming service. Think that it may have even been one of the owners. Had the wild rice soup. Excellent! Chose a honey blackened salmon with couscous. Just the right serving and well prepared. Delicious! I shouldn't have but went for the dessert (damn...can't remember the name) which was a banana bread with pineapple, pecans and cream cheese. No regrets! This is a welcoming spot. Great for family dinner or intimate dinner for two. I recommend! read more

Second time at Meade Street Bistro. Went in for the flatbread/salad bar special. They didn't have the salad bar set up because of staffing. However our waitress Mia made it right! She made my salad as requested and I ordered the gluten free pizza. Love it. Husband ordered a martini and he said it was one of the best he had. Great service from Mia. Another server Danielle checked On us and took time to have a nice conversation. Great restaurant and service. read more

We ordered marshmallow and chocolate Cocoa Bombs to go and they were great! Very chocolatey and melted right into the hot milk. I called Sunday in hopes to get a pickup for Monday but they were booked out until Wednesday- so make sure to order ahead because they are becoming very popular! read more

Their food truck was a no show at a corporate event we booked them for. Talked to Chris who runs the truck to book the event, messaged back and forth with him on the details, confirmed a week in advance that all was good...he confirmed we would see us the following week. When the even rolled around, he didn't show up. Didn't answer his phone, didn't return my messages. The restaurant was no better when I called them. They said I needed to work with him directly, but they would check to be sure all was OK and call me back. No call back, no return of several messages, and no food truck. I would never recommend. Three days later and many more messages to both Chris and the restaurant to get an explanation, and being put on hold when I call the restaurant for them to never pick back up. Spread the word...do not rely on them! Mistakes happen, but own up to it and attempt to smooth things over, ignoring the problem only makes it bigger. read more

Excellent food and service and ambiance! Arranged my wife's surprise birthday party here. There were several emails ahead of time and I changed the number of guests a few times. So accommodating and glad to help with the surprise! read more

My wife and I ordered take-out with curb-side pick-up during the COVID-19 pandemic. Service was friendly and fast. Employees were wearing masks and gloves. We split the Meade Street Bistro Salad which had a nice mix of spicy greens and perfectly cooked beets. I like a lot of beets in a beet salad, so there can never be enough for me, but this was a healthy portion of beets for most people. We also split the Greek Lover's Pizza. This is an unique take on this style of pizza: garlic sauce with the typical artichokes, feta, and olives. Combined with a cracker crust, cut tavern-style, it was hard not to eat the whole pizza in one sitting. I do not know when we'll be able to dine-in again, but MSB is a great option for dining out at home. read more

Delicious martinis! Fried portobellos as an appetizer were wonderful. My husband loved his ahi tuna and I my fish tacos. Service was prompt. Cute place- kind of unexpected in an unassuming strip mall. Loved it and will be back!! read more

The service was fantastic...very friendly and professional. The ambiance was perfect...tables are separated just enough t so you're not hearing other customers conversations. The food was AMAZING! I had the Blackened Ahi Tuna with Quinoa....soooo good! I'll definitely be back!! read more

This bistro is tough to find in a small strip mall but worth the fund. A quaint roomy bistro with nice decor. Prices were very reasonable & service was fast. We went on a Thursday night & not many people were there giving us privacy for our group of 4. Highly recommended this place. read more

We dined in for dinner. The restaurant is bigger inside than it looks from the outside. Plenty of room for spread out tables and a large bar area. We were surprised how many people sat and had a drink while waiting for their to-go order. We had the the burger and perch dinner and both were delicious. There were 4 giant pieces of perch on the plate so you will not go hungry, plus all the sides that normally accompany your Friday fish fry. Ambiance is nice, like fresh, semi-upscale yet casual. Would be good for groups or a nice date. I'm looking forward to trying their pizza and tortellini in the future. They have a full bar but they also have a couple of mock-tails that are fresher and healthier which is nice to see. Can't wait to sit on the patio or have the garage door open this summer! read more

This is such a cute spot! Came to check it out during lunch from work. Service was amazing and got to enjoy one of the last nice fall days on their patio! I ordered the fish tacos... and man, they did not disappoint! Sooo good. Came out quickly and hot! Definitely coming back! I would bookmark this spot for future lunch dates or cute first date ideas! read more

My first experience with MSB was amazing! Their fries are some of my favorites around, and a solid steak to boot! Unfortunately, my next trip wasn't as successful. My wife and I went for our anniversary and I went with the trusty medium NY Strip. I was greeted with a thin, grey piece of meat instead. The second steak was a mild improvement. I devoured the fries and the waitress noticed the doneness of my steak and removed it from the bill. I hadn't gotten my salad either. I'm giving them the benefit of a doubt and hoping it was an off night. read more

We came in for the first time on a Friday evening. I had the traditional Wisconsin Fish Fry: shrimp. My wife had the Salmon. Both of our meals were very good. I especially liked how they prepared thier fries. The service was good. It's evident that they are trying hard to develop a good customer experience. They are new in this location and format. They had a bar and grill downtown Appleton, so this is a big change. Give them a chance! We were not disappointed! read more

My husband and I just had an amazing dinner at Meade Street bistro. Service was great. They had a Valentine's Day special of either a tenderloin or salmon. Since we both had filets last night we both went with the salmon. It was amazing. The seasoning on the salmon was strawberry chimichurri sauce. Oh wow. We are so happy. The entire meal with sides was only $24. Includes dessert of cheesecake or red velvet cake. Definitely a wow. If you are hungry now, get over here. On the corner of Meade Street and Oo read more

Went for salads with my mom. Drinks were a soda and Iced tea. We both had shrimp with our salads. Mine came in a chipped bowl and a dirty knife. The owner was quick to take the plate and have it remade and replace the silverware, even stating she would comp my meal, apologizing for the issue. She checked back when the new meal was delivered, about 10 minutes later... Mom was done by then. Bill came. 15% off my plate less than $3. I told the waitress what the owner said. The waitress stood by the bill on the table.... They almost .... Almost recovered me. If they would have said 15% off to start with. I would have been ok. But over promising and under delivering? Nah. With tip, (which I still left) over $50 for 2 salads and no cocktails. 5 shrimp on each salad. ( I had eaten part of the first salad, not all the shrimp, and did not finish the second). The owner made a point of asking me not to Facebook shame her.... I didn't. This is a Yelp review. Will not return. read more

While the menu is small the ambiance is really nice. I went for lunch on a weekend and had a very pleasant experience. Got to sit and chat for a long time without feeling rushed. Good music and relaxing atmosphere. I had the house salad with roasted beets and the house dressing which was fantastic. I did have a hard time choosing because the menu was really quite limited. Hopefully it'll expand over time. Would definitely go again. read more

Walked in at 5pm for dinner. Needed a table for 2. The host said "we are full but there might be some tables over there" and vaguely pointed near the bar. He then just walked away. read more

Meade Street Bistro is everything you could ask for! Seriously. Great food and drinks in a refreshingly ambient environment. The owner is an experienced chef and she ensures an intriguing variety of fare, from pizza to meat and seafood, even excellent vegan choices. Something for everyone. The tables are spaced well enough apart to hear the people at your table. The servers are so friendly and attentive. Love everything about Meade Street Bistro! read more

I was so happy to hear this place added a patio and heaters!! I tried searching for outdoor eating with heaters but it didn't work so reading this in the Post-Crescent was vey helpful. Our food was fantastic, we had fish tacos and brisket sandwich! My tacos had a lot of flavor without being spicy hot, might be my all time favorite fish taco and I'm always looking for them when I'm outThe staff is also very friendly. read more

Twice now, online order has failed. Once they were closed, but left online orders on. The other time, placed an order and waited for the pick up time. Went inside to learn the order never went back to the kitchen and it would be an additional 25 minutes. Cant comment on their food, but at this point I wont even try the gift certificate they gave me for the first mess up read more

Love this place, the people are amazing and the new menu is a huge upgrade. Great place for a nice lunch or dinner.

crunchy risotto and bland cauliflower thai tacos. The slot machines by the bathrooms scream fine dining. Dinner for two here should be $40, not $100. read more

This place is AMAZING! Their food is delicious. If you're looking for a smaller event space- call them. This space was perfect for my bridal shower and they were so accommodating with the menu! read more

The only thing better than the food was the fantastic service! From soup to entree to dessert everything was delicious and every person was so helpful and pleasant. Lots of gluten free options including desserts which was a plus. read more

I order the Mahi Mahi. It was excellent. Staff were very friendly. My wife order the fried perch which was a little fishy but they did make a substitute for her. Plus we weren't charged for either of her meals. I would try it again . read more
