The ham and cheese came with a thick ham slice sandwiches between delish cheese and bread. The mozzarella sticks were wrapped in wonton wrappers then fried. We also got chicken tenders with chips. Everything was great. Only con, tables need to be redone, they've been cleaned with the wrong cleaning products and are forever sticky.

The painted window saying "Home of the Dirty Snowball" absolutely piqued my interest! LOL! Actually, it was that, plus the two giant nutcracker decorations out front that caught my eye. I'm a fan of (Christmas) holiday decorations, so I wanted to see what else they had, after spying some string lights through the window. Inside, it's like a wonderland of holiday cheer! Lights and ornaments and decorations everywhere! Sitting at the bar under the lights, I really felt like I'd discovered some secret bar under the Christmas tree! The staff were friendly, helpful, and quick with the libations! Kind of that "keep it real" attitude, but not in the rude way... in the honest and up front way! There is no food to speak of, save for a Chex-pub mix blend, but the drinks are why you want to visit! The famous Dirty Snowball is like a shake, but without ice cream, made with cocoa and related liqueur flavors (I can't remember what-all is in it, but it's GOOOOOOOD!). I highly recommend it! I also tried the Cleo's Trio, which is one part Dirty Snowball, one part Brandy Old Fashioned, and one part Suffering Bastard, I think? Not in the same glass! But, more like a flight. You get a little taste of Wisconsin or at least Appleton. Each drink is basically a full version, though, so you might need only one! I don't know what your favorite bar looks like, but if I lived in Appleton, this one would be mine. I would be in there at least once a week, if for no other reason the ambiance and the company. Great people, great drinks, and a legacy for holiday décor that I hope lives on forever!

Pizza, pulled pork (which was actually beef) and ham and cheese. No cheese curds (which they are supposedly known for!). I ordered a margarita and it came in a 4 oz plastic glass! The pulled pork (beef) was heated up in a microwave as was the ham/cheese sandwich. Then, when it was time to pay, they don't take credit cards! Luckily we had enough cash. I've never seen a bar that is like this. How they stay in business is beyond me! Won't ever go back thats for sure.
