Our burger club always ventures a little further out during Thanksgiving and the summer when our…read moreschedules are a little lighter, so in 2025, we ventured out to Kenosha for The Garage. It was a weeknight, but the street we were driving up to get here was a little dark and run down. But don't let that deter you. They have a nice sized parking lot for their location. Then we walked inside and found a narrow room with a bar running the length of one long wall and counter height tables and chairs perpendicular to the opposite wall. They really jammed in as much as they could in the space that they have. The ambience was dark and moody. They were playing hard rock and the bar had a couple of regulars sitting inside. At the end of the bar at the far end, was a cubicle of a kitchen. That's where the magic happens. Their menu is simple: appetizers, burgers, and build your own burgers. That's it. We all built our own burgers and they have a LOT of options. However, the build your own may start at $9, but each topping adds to the cost. But who cares? The burgers were phenomenal! Their website clearly states, "Best burgers, ever." And they're not wrong. The burgers were juicy, flavorful, and delicious. Probably one of the best burgers I have ever had. And everything is made in this tiny area at the end of the bar. We were the only people in the place after about 20 minutes, but again, who cares. The staff were extremely friendly. Their playful banter and bickering when they cleaned up was hilarious to listen to, and they were lovely to talk to as well. One of our group wanted to pick up some Spotted Cow beer (you can't get it in Illinois) and asked about a place to get it nearby. They suggested Shenanigan's with a drive-through just a couple blocks away. We have to make another trek back. They are awesome and their burgers are great, too!

The wait was a little bit long but I couldn't see how busy they were inside . My wife order the shrimp sandwich and I ordered the Peruvian steak sandwich. Both with sides of fries. My wife said the shrimp sandwich was an eight out of 10. Pretty good. Best part was definitely the buns felt fresh. The steak sandwich for me was a bit bland. The sauce was the star. I feel like the sauce was not there would be a pretty bland sandwich steak did not have any flavor unfortunately but still a decent sandwich. We are planning on coming back down to Kenosha and trying this place again. It may be checking out the other things they have.

My husband's had no cheese and I was charged $1 extra for my cheese. We also ordered a "Sparky Snack" which is chips and salsa, which we requested the cheese with it. It was not worth the $8 we were charged as the serving size was small. We also didn't get our cheese. The waitress (Simone) was sweet and attentive, but was left apologizing for things that weren't done right.

Look, Waterman's Warehouse had a lot working against it the night we visited. Triple-digit heat. An…read moreAC unit doing its best. The Cubs dropping 23 runs on the Padres. The Brewers tied in Cincinnati. The US men's national team handling Bosnia. Basically every screen in the place was must-watch TV and the bartender -- understandably distracted, perhaps -- decided that was the ideal moment to restock straws and cut fruit. We waited. In the heat. Our server was genuinely good when he materialized, which wasn't as often as we'd have liked. Food: the cheese curds earned their reputation. The Mekts burger was fine -- solid, no complaints. The Reuben rolls, however, arrived looking exactly like what they were: a Sysco product plated with minimal ceremony. Hard pass next time. As for the name -- if you're picturing a dock, pilings, maybe a gull or two -- walk outside and squint hard past the road and the rooftops. Big lake's out there somewhere. Technically. Maybe a 3.2 night in a 4.3 restaurant. I'd go back on a slow Tuesday in October.

Ok, I came back to find that this establishment is open. I had to come back to get their wings…read more I had them a while ago but never posted before. I'm not going to lie they are a good size, and they have about 9 flavors. One of the best around. This place is small, but there's an upstairs hang out area. There are dart boards upstairs 4 and downstairs 2. This place is known for darts and leagues. So don't be shy if you're looking to play. When leagues are playing, they are up and downstairs. There are no pool tables at this establishment. They have a small deck upstairs as well. The bartender Nicole,I had today saw me walking in and immediately said hi from a distance, through the crowd I might add. I get to the counter, and she immediately took my drink order. Not even 4 minutes, she was back to take my food order. This is the second time I had her as the bartender. She reacted the same on my first visit. A Plus!!! Let's talk more about the establishment. Bright and very nice decor. Neat bar and counter area. Did I mention they have a large outdoor patio area? Can't wait until Summer. They also have 5 video slots and a pull tab machine. The bar area seats about 22 people. Then you have about 4 tables when there's no pool league. Overall this is a beautiful place, and I bet people have lived here for years and never stopped by because they didn't know, like me, Scottie didn't know, lol. All kinds of music are being played from the jukebox. Anything from RnB, rock, metal, and dance, for example. Play what you like. It's a little loud for my liking as I have hearing problems, but manageable. The only negative thing I can think of is parking. It's a small lot, but you can park on the street or the back by the fence, which is behind the building. This is on a dead-end street. You'll be fine, folks, so don't turn around. I had to park by the fence today. Now the food. I had the Moonshine BBQ wings, and they were fat and juicy. Lawd Lawd. I also had the Philly Cheese Egg rolls. Ummm, you will enjoy those with the beer cheese dip. I love the soft crunch the roll had. I would order both of these again. There's plenty of beer choices, only 8 on tap. Surprisingly, a good number of spirits, too I honestly give this place a 4.8 because I was able to chat with all kinds of people with no issues. Ages are mixed, so that's a plus. The atmosphere was pretty great if you asked me. People were friendlier than other bars I've been to in Kenosha. You should have a great time with this local bar. They need more reviews, that's for sure. So support your local establishments and give them your review. Yes, I will be back. Most of the building pics are from Dec 2023 when i found out they never closed, they open late, lolol. Sorry I took so long to post. I hope the next person enjoys themselves

However, you can also drive North, into Wisconsin, which is just 40 minutes North. We like to shop at Pleasant Prairie Outlet and after shopping for about five (5) hours, you will get really hungry. Hence, we almost always visit Tenuta's because there isn't quite anything like it by me. But that's a different review... I say all that to say, after getting Italian meatballs, cookies, and Cannolis from Tenuta's, you will immediately notice Ron's Place, right across the street!! They have a local and dedicated following. Yes, you will see Green Bay Packers decorations and people in Packers clothing, gasp!! But!! Their burgers are incredible and so are the cheese curds. They are also known for their Long Island teas but it's kinda early for me when I come here. Check out my pics - I always get the cheese curds, chicken strips, I've switched it up from time to time with my burger selection. Today, we got the extreme burger and it's definitely shareable, it's a gigantic double patty cheeseburger (I selected American cheese). Great service, cool & local Vibes, diners are usually talking shop, the people sitting next to you will be catching up and talkin about Jack and Diane. You can look directly into the open kitchen and see them preparing the great plates of food. Look at the pics on the wall and you will see a pic of McMahon in Packer uniform - the Packers won the Super Bowl that year...sigh...

Since I first visited Rendevous Tiki Lounge while I was still living in Kenosha, this has become my…read morefavorite bar. The drinks are great, the main bartender Matt is awesome, and it's a pretty chill atmosphere. They have a pretty extensive and reasonably priced menu, and even though a lot of the drink descriptions don't tell you what's actually in them, Matt has never steered me wrong on a drink choice. If you don't know what you want, just tell him what you do and don't like, and he'll get you the perfect drink. The only real con is its small size - if you're planning on going during the weekend, make sure you get there sooner rather than later, and be prepared to split your party if you have a lot of people with you. I personally prefer going during the week with a few friends - it makes for easier conversation, and chatting with Matt is also a good time.

The service was a bit slow, but the place was packed in Friday and Saturday night so that was to be expected. They busted their tails. My only negative comment would be about the food ordering process. They give you a paper menu and a pencil, then you check off what you want. There were a lot of options and some of the print was very small. On the second night, I wanted to build my own burger but couldn't see the options with my 1.5 cheaters. I got the same thing as the night before and it was just as delicious!

The only parking option I saw was on the street. Inside it's attractive with its own nautical character. Its food menu is burger centric and is kind of complicated to figure out. You complete a form that itemizes the kind of burger, fries, etc that you want. Even my waitress tried to help me and she got confused. Ha! I finally ordered a bowl of their beer cheese soup to start for $10.45. I then added an 8 oz grass fed beef burger with hand cut fresh fries for another $12.45. Yes, it was more food than I needed but I wanted to try the beer cheese soup which was delivered first with 4 pieces of sourdough bread. The soup was delicious being rich in cheesy flavor with cheese strings and bacon bits on top. It was a full bodied flavor soup and with the bread I could have made a meal of just this. After finishing the soup, the burger and fries appeared. It was a hearty and very good tasting burger on a quality bread bun. Also the fries were very good tasting with a good potato flavor. I couldn't finish it all but I wanted to. With a drink and tax it was about $28 before tip. I'm glad I had lunch here.
