We each got the lunch special. I got the Cobb Salad & Cali Chicken sandwich. The salad was pretty typical but the sandwich stood out. Amazing sauce on it.

And great service as well. Excited to go back & try the other options

I Came Back to Appleton... Wisconsin Immediately Fed Me…read more There are many ways to kick off an HS Reunion weekend. Apparently, the correct Wisconsin way is cheese curds, a soft pretzel, beer cheese, mustard, and craft beer. One of my host~family sisters and longtime friends brought me to Stone Arch Brewpub shortly after I touched down in Appleton, and this was exactly the kind of welcome~back I needed. Let's talk about those cheese curds. Pillowy. Soft. Tender. Ridiculously good. I don't say this lightly, but these may be some of the best cheese curds I've ever eaten. Then came the pretzel~super buttery and incredibly soft~with Wisconsin beer cheese and mustard for dipping. At that point, the reunion could have ended and I would've considered the trip successful. But we weren't done. We worked our way through an assortment of craft beers spanning Hazy IPAs, West Coast IPAs, Sours and Gose~style beers. The atmosphere was cool, the service was great, and the combination of food, beer and catching up with an old friend made this feel like the perfect beginning to my return to Appleton. Sometimes the best travel experiences aren't about finding the newest or trendiest place. Sometimes it's about sitting down with someone who knows you, sharing some great food and beer, and realizing some things really do feel like coming home. Stone Arch was a damn good way to start the reunion. Would absolutely return.

My husband enjoyed a cup of chowder. We are not beer people so we ordered Brandy old fashions. Horrible. Maybe the soda machine wasn't working. The main flavor was more sparkling water. The brandy was flavorless.. I do recommend stone arch to ale tasters.

We came here last minute for an after-work dinner with a pretty large group of about 25 people. I…read morecalled ahead to give them as much notice as I could, but it was definitely still very last minute. They were extremely friendly and accommodating and had no problem getting all of us taken care of. I kept it pretty simple and got a burger and a beer. The burger was really good and everything came out well, especially considering how many of us there were. What really stood out though was the service. One person in our group is extremely picky about how she likes her steak cooked and ended up sending it back three times. Each time they were friendly about it and genuinely seemed more concerned with getting it right for her than being annoyed about having to remake it again. For us to come in with 25 people on such short notice and still have everyone be so friendly and accommodating was really appreciated. They handled our group incredibly well and never made us feel like an inconvenience. Definitely a 5-star experience and somewhere I would come back to.

First time here, the real stand out dish was the Panko crusted walleye that my friend ordered. It…read morewas perfectly prepared. I ordered poorly and didn't even finish half of my plate. It was a Trio Diavolo, a trio of protein with squid pasta, and a red sauce. I didn't understand that the proteins were diced bits that were stirred into the red sauce pasta. I actually thought the protein was separate from a side of pasta. It disappointed me because I generally dislike seafood in red sauce, but honestly, that wasn't their fault so I still gave them a high rating. Service was friendly and playful. Pretty efficient and seemed to like their job. It is a beautiful restaurant with a pretty amazing view, even if the water is at very sad low levels. Maybe this is natural, I've never been here before. All of the wildlife/birds really enhanced the experience. Flocks of seagulls (not the band), and surprisingly large number of pelicans were wonderful to watch. You can see the riverfront exterior and distant bridge in my standard and 360° photos.

Only hiccup was the egg arrived already broken, yolk pooled out on the plate before I even picked it up, so next time I'll ask for it cooked a touch longer to keep that intact. Burger itself was solid otherwise, fries came out hot and well seasoned. Service was the highlight honestly. Quick to get food out, and my server kept circling back to check in without hovering, which is a harder balance to hit than people think. Worth a stop if you're into the whole loaded breakfast-burger thing, just flag the egg temp when you order so yours doesn't end up the same way mine did.
