Manawa, Wi. I really wasn't expecting the food here to…read moretaste so good, but it was excellent. Service by an amazingly pleasant woman that was quick and efficient. Definitely an old local cafe kind of place that has the original wood floor. It's not decorated to look vintage, it just is. We sampled three dishes today: Pulled pork "Pizza" on naan, BBQ sauce was on it and it was neither sweet nor vinegary. Quite nice and a lot to eat. Chicken breast sandwich with bacon, Swiss cheese, thousand island on fluffy (My Word) rye. It's called Grandma Sue. I usually hate these so called "Rye" breads, but in this case the combination of all the ingredients actually work. A large sandwich, will fill you up. Pulled pork BBQ sandwich plate with baked beans on the side with even more pork. Some potato chips included. Delicious, and the sandwich is on a brioche bun that does not drip or fall apart. I also had a watermelon lemonade slushi that was delicious. It is good to have a nice place to have lunch in Manawa again. I'm going to try the Friday night fish fry next

They have a gigantic one (see my picture) I think it's like 1.8 lbs of meat!! I didn't order that, but a couple of guys sitting by us did. (They split it) It was crazy big, but actually looked cooked well and everything on it looked fresh and tasty. They said it was good. I did however, order a (regular) sized "build your own" burger and a side of onion rings. I liked my burger a lot. Definitely worth coming back for. Onion rings were also pretty good. My wife ordered the fish and chips basket. This meal was very average. Pretty much, your basic frozen battered fish, deep fried and served with okay French Fries. Burger was great, fish basket not so much. Would recommend stopping in for drinks and a burger. Skip the fish. (But maybe they serve different fish for their Friday Fish Fry)

It took awhile for our food, but wow..it was worth it. We started with the pickle fries. Spicy and crunchy with a fantastic dipping sauce. Then, I had the firecracker shrimp wrap with jalapeno slaw. Perfect Asian spice and the slaw addrd great crunch with just enough heat. The handcut chips were very good Hubby had the firecraker shrimp, too, and loved it. We're looking forward to trying their other menu items.

It's a small little bar type place, but they have a cook on so your bartender isn't trying to juggle both jobs and the food is fast and delicious. I had the western burger and it was 5 star. Easily one of the best burgers I've ever had. I had it with the homemade chips which were also delicious, but they offer many sides. The bbq sauce on my burger was insanely delicious and I'm picky about my sauce. My coworkers each had different burgers and they looked equally delicious and they raved about them. I live in Green Bay, but I will make the trip to Shawano regularly just to visit this place!

The last two times I just couldn't wait any longer and had to walk up to ask for boxes and my bill. It is a family diner owned and operated and I love that there is a diner like this but I hate that this is overpriced for simple food and has awful service. I will keep periodically trying hoping they improve but will on a go forward basis just reluctantly drive further to the other better and cheaper diners

But the fish fry is delish, and you can eat out on the deck. Don't come too hungry, because you'll be waiting a long time for service. No matter when you come. The food does come quickly once you order. But sit outside, bc the crowd is older locals who don't realize how rude it is to stare. Feed some ducks or fish while you wait.

We try all kinds of places and like alot of them including smiths. I had a cajon platter for there special of the day and while i lived in Mississippi for 9 months and learned alot about the culture and food down there there not alot of places that make that food right. Smiths did a great job the food was cooked perfect and tasted great. If they topped it off with a side of banana pudding they would have hit all I looked for. We have come to smiths for the views of animals they have hunted over the years to the services done by their staff. This place has stories that everyone is willing to tell you.

Manawa, Wi. I never got to taste the food. This is how the…read moredining experience for my wife and I proceeded and finished. Upon walking in I was pleased to notice that the large dining room was nearly empty. This was a good sign because I was really hungry and I wanted a steak. What better place to get a steak than a steakhouse, right? A sign at the dining room kiosk directed us to sign in at the bar. Standing at the bar for five to ten minutes revealed that I am invisible to the bartender so we sat down, and I hollered at her as she passed by. She politely "Signed us up" for the dining room. After 15 minutes passed us by sitting at the bar full of locals, including children, I ordered a beer. I requested an IPA, and she managed to "Find One". It wasn't even a Wisconsin beer, which I found surprising, this state boasts a huge variety of amazing brews. We continued sitting at the bar, my wife doesn't drink and nothing was offered as an alternative. We started engaging in conversation with a man seated next to us who pretty much summed up the story of his life and he was 82 years old. At the 40 minute mark I asked the bartender if we had been forgotten. "No", she replied, "You're on the list". At the one hour mark a lady came out to us with a tablet and a pencil and asked us "What do you want"? I said I wanted a steak. "Oh, we're out, how about something else"? "Ok, I'll have a whole rack of ribs"! "Sorry we're out of that too". At that point and hour and ten minutes had past since our entry to this place so I paid for the beer (Why oh why did I give her a 50 cent tip?), and walked out. I proceeded to walk across the street to the Subway where I gorged on a foot long steak sandwich which was prepared in 5 minutes and was delicious, Here is what we could have done differently and may help you if you decide to come here: 1.Order take out. The whole time we were sitting there take out orders were being picked up. 2. Eat at the bar. Nearly everyone sitting at the bar, including the children were eating dinner. This option was never offered to us. I have a house down the street a ways and was hoping for a good meal, I've had some good dinners here in years past. I probably will never know if the latest version of The Manawa Steakhouse has good food because I will never be returning to try.
