    Grilled cheese with marvelous sweet potato fries
    Warren D.

    Date of visit: October 11, 2024 This was a stop on our way up to Minneapolis. We wanted to get past the Madison traffic for dinner but without having to deal with the crazy tourists in the Wisconsin Dells-area. We sought out a recommendation from a friend, and they did not disappoint! Service was a touch slow, but it was a very busy Friday night so I am giving some grace on that here with my review, especially as our server was quite wonderful. However, this is definitely a place that would benefit from the addition of some technology; watching our waitress take our order by hand, then stop at the next table and do the same, and then go enter both means that both orders get to the kitchen at the same time instead of spacing them out. And it just so happened that the table who ordered after us received their dinner first. Not complaining, just pointing out the inefficiency. Our server was super friendly and fun, which helped with the longer wait (I wonder how the Halloween decorating went--she said she was in charge of it), and the food was so good that I forgot all about the wait! My grilled cheese was excellent, though the star of the show was really the sweet potato fries. They. Gave. Me. Life. Try them! Or really try anything at The Rodeside Grill, we were all members of the Clean Plate Club that night!

    Spinach Hot Bacon Spinach Salad
    Lisa S.

    We were on a road trip and needed a lunch place. This one had a good menu and was just off the highway so we gave it a try. It's a nice places tucked amongst a hotel, gas stations, and fast food. We were seated immediately, got our drinks quickly, and received excellent service throughout our lunch. I chose the hot bacon spinach salad. It was huge! The ingredients were fresh. The dressing was served on the side. It also came with a roll and butter. Lots to eat for lunch. You can get it with protein but I chose veggie. It was great. Husband had the club stacker which was also a substantial amount of food. Sandwich was served on Texas toast. It was good and the side of fries that came with it were great (I stole one or two). Great stop. Easy parking. Clean bathrooms. Great service!

    Pulled BBQ Pork Sandwich & Garlic Mashed Potatoes
    Dana C.

    Friendly people and lots of seating options. Menu has too many options. The pulled pork was moist with too much sauce, very messy the garlic mashed potatoes were cold. Busy bar area with a nice large separate dining area in a sunny room like a 4 season porch area.

    Fish chicken fries and coleslaw.

    Food was very good. Service was a little slow but okay. They took care of what I needed and was craving for the last year. The fish was very good and the chicken was good. Just wish the service was a little faster.

    RodeSide burger and fries
    Amanda S.

    I stopped here two years ago on a cross-country trip and could not get this place off my mind, so when I happened to be in Wisconsin again, I hunted it down and was not disappointed! Rodeside has some of the best all-American food and I'm glad I don't live in town because I'd be there every day. The ambience is comfortable. Even in the middle of the day, the interior is warm and cozy. The staff is friendly and service is very, very quick. I was impressed before and was impressed again with the speed of service and the smiles on everyone's faces. My cheese curds and RodeSide burger? To die for. The cheese curds were perfectly fried and perfectly gooey. The burger is by far one of the best I've ever had. Char-grilled and dripping juices all over the plate; perfectly cooked onions; generous cheese... and that RodeSide sauce? Amazing. I can't wait to travel through Wisconsin again. Rodeside is a must-visit.

    Peanut butter chocolate dessert
    Denise F.

    Seated immediately on a Friday PM. Good service. Our gal Britta was working her tail off. Other restaurant staff busy helping, bringing dessert out etc. Nice decor. A bit loud but that's to be expected. Good choices for bar beverages and reasonable prices. We 3 patrons all had Friday fish fry-bluegill. Yum! I enjoyed sautéed veggies and the coleslaw. Wanted more hush puppies! Lots of good menu choices. We tried 2 desserts and they were both great. Would definitely recommend and come back when in the area.

    Omelets and hash browns.
    Trisha S.

    Yum! Server was prompt, polite and efficient. Food was as ordered and crazy quick on Christmas Eve. Great location right off the highway. Restrooms were clean. Would recommend!

Of course there was a Taco Bell close to the exit from I-90, but that wasn't going to cut it. So, we found El Alegre about two miles into town. The place was packed Well, we had a very good meal with happy service. A big sign on the wall in the kitchen said "work hard and be nice to people ". Gotta love that. So we were coming South on I-90 and remembered El Alegre. Being vegetarian, I usually find plenty of options in a Mexican restaurant (and also Chinese and Italian). This menu had a vegetarian section with about six or seven choices, but I looked over the rest of the very large menu and found several versions of Chile Relleño. I've never seen anything but the one stuffed with cheese anywhere else. Well, they had a version stuffed with vegetables! I had to try it. I am so glad I did. It was delicious and a very generous portion served with rice and beans that rose above the standard usually experienced. My wife had a shrimp dish that I sampled and loved. She said the margaritas were also excellent. So, if you find yourself on I-90, you won't regret driving a couple miles off the highway to find El Alegre!

The ribeye was mouthwateringly delicious, perfectly cooked, juicy, well seasoned, and full of flavor! The grilled shrimp had the most incredible seasoning and grilled to perfection! My husband kept on talking about Aranda's nonstop so we went and dined in person at Aranda's in Deforest, WI! When we first walked in, I loved the bright colored festive walls, showcasing beautiful Mexican art/heritage and a mini festive bar with my favorite: a great tequila selection for all the tequila fans!!! The place was super packed for a weeknight/Wednesday evening! We were greeted with delicious complimentary tortilla chips and salsa which started our night off right! Aranda's has a large Tex Mex menu with a variety of authentic traditional Mexican menu items as well as a few more Americanized take on popular Mexican dishes! They offer many delicious menu items everything from nachos, street tacos, fajitas, chimichangas, ribeye steaks, hamburgers, seafood options, a kid's menu, and much more! Plus, they even have churros and fried ice cream if you have a sweet tooth! Aranda's has the best margaritas when you are a craving a delicious drink! They even have a great selection of top shelf superior tequila. Be aware the margaritas are pretty huge and the large size is actually humongous! I really enjoyed my spicy jalepeno maragita! My husband ordered the ribeye steak and shrimp that comes with a side of delicious cheese sauce and fries while I ordered the Aranda's special which is the ribeye with shrimp, topped with an onion blossom, grilled shrimp, and pico de gallo. My husband and I had so much fun dining at Aranda's. Everything we ordered was very delicious! We also received great service! Aranda's is a great place to visit if you are looking for satisfying margaritas, delicious Mexican food, fun/festive vibes, in a casual dining setting that is a fun place to dine with friends, family, and even fun for the kids! Aranda's is definitely worth trying!
