Not bad. Not great. My waitress was a young girl who was still in high school. She couldn't have been nicer. She talked to me through the menu. Made small talk with me. She was an absolute delight. I doubt I'll ever stop there again since I was only rolling through the area but I'm glad I stopped to see how the Merrillers spend their days. God bless 'em. I think I heard my friend Danzig on the jukebox while I was there. Of course it could have just been some guy at the bar screaming about his mother. We'll never know.

Turns out the owners (who were working) were nice folks running a good establishment. While the place has clearly been around, there have been some nice improvements made recently. The place is very clean, has a game room for kids and is also spacious. We tried out two appetizers, some drinks and three different pizzas during our visit. Aside from the appetizers needing another minute of crisping, there were many high points. The pizzas have a very nice crust. Not thin, nor thick but a really tasty "cracker-like" texture. The owners said they are hand-tossed every day. The buffalo chip had just the right kick. The garbage pizza was truly loaded. The Big Mac pizza lived up to its billing and had diced pickles, not long strips as mentioned in an earlier review. The drinks were moderately priced and were well poured. The autumn special was a bourbon based drink garnished with pieces of dried apple. Overall, a great first experience. I'd certainly go back if I found myself in the area.

Nothing but immature, unfriendly, rude adolescents working at the location every time I have been in there. I will abbreviate the reason for the negative review. I ordered online and picked up at the store, got home and the order was incorrect and missing ALL the veg on 1 of the sandwiches, wrong bread on another, etc. I called the location and a rude boy answered the phone, I explained my order was not correct and he literally called me a LIAR, I asked for the manager name, he refused and hung up on me. I then drove to the store with the sandwiches very upset by being treated that way and once at the store, I was refused a new order be made AND they also refused to give me my money back AND threw the initial incorrect sandwiches away. To sum this horrendous experience up; I made 2 round trips, got nothing I ordered correct, wasted my time/gas, had to spend out additional money to another food service location, and to top it off- the location STOLE MY MONEY (no food and no refund)

BEST PIZZA ANYWHERE EVER!!! I have been eating the Mulford Family pizzas for 57 years. Had my first one, which at the time was Queenies Pizza when I was nine years old. Which then later Ron and Queenies, and now called The Pizza Shop, owned and run By Ron's daughter, and Queenies's granddaughter. For the entire 57 years, it is still by far my favorite Pizza of anywhere in this country. And I can say this because I have had Pizza from everywhere in this country. I say this because I drove over the road semi and I've had Pizza from every corner of the United States. I still have not had a Pizza that I like as much as the now Pizza Shop (Queenies) yet. I never understand when I see any reviews about this pizza when they say they didn't like the crust. I think that the unique dough Recipe that Queenie and Ron came up with decades ago, makes the most amazing pizza crust on earth. The sauce and the ingredients I think are terrific and always have been. But, the signature Mulford crust is my favorite part of the pizza, makes the pizza what it is, and makes it so much better than any other Pizza ever! I am so glad that this business is still going third generation and I hope it keeps going many more generations read more

I drove through Merrill, WI after getting a speeding ticket on 51 (which is the only reason to…read morevisit Merrill, WI but at least the courthouse is easy to find) and passed this diner. It looked like it had been abandoned since the 1970s, and as someone who loves reliving my childhood memories, I peeked in the windows. Imagine my surprise to find out it was still open for business, just closed at that time. I made it a point to come back when they were open. Not only does the aesthetic and decor date back to the 1970s, so do the menu and prices. They had a special, eggs and toast for under $3. Where can you find that any more? The menu was surprisingly thorough, they had some fancier options like eggs benedict, which I tried. And they did have WiFi, although I couldnt get it to work. I decided to try multiple things, so I got steak & eggs, eggs benedict, and corned beef hash. With coffee my total was still under $15. The steak was by far the best thing I tried. I asked for it pink, and it came closer to well done, but it was so tender and well flavored that I didnt mind. The eggs benedict was also very good, the sauce homemade and the ham thick cut. The corned beef has was my least favorite, it was comparably dry. One of the owners was the only employee working outside the kitchen and she was very friendly. I dont know why I would ever go back to Merrill, WI, but if I do, and it is before 2pm, I will stop back.
