Bar area

I stopped in to place a pick up order. Because it was a bigger order, I asked if they could put names on each item so that we can divvy up the food a little easier. They were more than happy to do it, but here's the best part. They never asked my name to put on my order... So they just wrote "nice guy who made the order" on my items! Totally worth five stars for that alone. Lol Actually, the five stars are well deserved. Food was great. I really loved the French onion soup and my sandwich was excellent. Five star employees, five star food. Will be back.

Taco Salad
Kayla G.

The flavor of the food was delicious but the salad's serving size was so small for $20...I got the taco salad expecting tortilla strips. When I opened the box I saw tortilla chips that took up half of the box so the salad itself was tiny. When I pay 20$ for a salad I expect the serving size to be decent at least...yes I did substitute the black olives for avocados for 2.50 as well and tipped on a take out order but still an outrageous price IMO for such a small salad...

The food and the atmosphere is great. The dining room is nicely decorated with a trendy vibe. The food was delicious, the veggies in our dishes was fresh, high quality. I had the Thai lettuce wrap appetizer, it included about seven large romaine lettuce leaves to wrap the fresh carrots, cabbage and chicken with delicious Thai sauce in. The portion was large, plenty of ingredients for all the lettuce leaves. My husband had the trio dip appetizer with queso, guacamole, and salsa, the guacamole had a bite to it, very tasty and fresh and the tortilla chips were hardy. He ordered the special, another Mexican dish which he loved and I had another Thai selection, the Thai Chicken Bowl served over lime cilantro rice, so good! Our server, Lilly, was delightful and attentive. All in all, a wonderful meal and a great restaurant!

Lettuce chicken wraps

Smaller place but don't let that fool you. Gotta say, this is a hidden gem I. Appleton. Everything we order was delicious. They definitely give you plenty. All of the staff was super friendly. I got one of their bowls and didn't finish it. It was super good but with the quinoa, that fills you up quickly. Hubby got the tacos. He said they were great just a bit messy so beware! We will be back again

2$ Tuesday/Thursday tacos

Man I LOVE this place. I had been driving past it for years saying I wanted to try it and finally got a chance to. After finding out they do taco Tuesday/Thursday and a buy one get one half off apps for happy hour, I'm usually here at least once a week for tacos. The staff is super friendly (just don't have unrealistic expectations when they are swamped). Everything I've had here has been delicious. The chefs know their stuff. And I once did a BOGO margarita (also a Tuesday/Thursday special) and had it as a double in one glass and it didn't taste like pure alcohol. You should definitely stop here at least once and you'll want to come back once you do!

Banh Mi Sandwich
Dave L.

We have ordered for pickup and have dined at the restaurant since its opening. We have been impressed with the quality and quantity of the food/drink. My dining partner loves the chicken-pesto panini. I've tried their banh mi sandwich (with a tasty corn chowder) and their poke bowl. I enjoyed both of them. We've also sampled their giant pretzel; which was very good. The restaurant doesn't serve mixed drinks but offers wine and beer. Try their sake Bloody Mary! It was very busy during our dine in meal. The staff wore masks during their contact with patrons. Our waitperson was knowledgeable and offered good suggestions for our meal. The manager also did a nice job of checking on tables and greeting patrons. While the restaurant is a little higher priced, the quality and quantity of the food are acceptable for the cost.

I love Draft and I was super excited to have a new restaurant in the neighborhood. The good - we had really fast service. So fast, that we were still eating the giant pretzel when our dinner came. The okay - The food didn't have much flavor. We had been at Draft a few days earlier and had the pretzel and it was sooo good...but this pretzel was just okay. I ordered the steak and shrimp skewers and they were served with broccolini and rice. While it was good...none of it had much flavor. My husband ordered the mac and cheese bowl with brisket and he even asked if they had given him pulled pork...i guess we will never know. The bowl didn't have any flavor. My daughter loved her egg roll bowl. Tiramisu - the star of the show, for sure! The manager did check in with us while we were eating and the service was fast. Maybe it we need to give it another chance when they have been open longer...and see if they were still working out some kinks. Also a bummer that they don't have tap beer...and do not have a full bar. Just wine and bottled beer - no cocktails.

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.

Stone Arch Brewpub - The giant pretzel is a must order

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.

The venue is fun and gorgeous.... rock wall in a basement lends to a castle dungeon.... Scotch…read moreeggs were well prepared.... The cheese curds were average but served with yummy ranch. 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.

The…read moremoment we opened the door, the creak of the original wooden floors greeted us alongside the cheerful hum of a bustling kitchen. Laughter rang from somewhere behind the counter, a sound that immediately set the tone for a visit rooted in hospitality and heart. Kailin welcomed us with a smile that matched the inviting aroma wafting from the kitchen. After guiding us to our table, we settled into the comfort of the cozy dining room, accompanied by the subtle percussion of footsteps on those charming old floors. Within moments, our server appeared, effortlessly balancing warmth and efficiency as they presented a glass of fresh-brewed iced tea, beads of condensation catching the afternoon light, and a steaming mug of coffee rich with the scent of roasted beans. We began our lunch with a bowl of tomato cream soup. It arrived piping hot, its vibrant color promising comfort. The first spoonful delivered on that promise: velvety and rich, with a gentle heat balanced by a quiet sweetness, each bite coating the palate in layers of flavor. Before we could fully finish savoring the soup, our empanadas made their entrance. Today's lineup included cheese and quinoa, chicken and cheese, and beef. The empanadas were a feast for the senses--golden, flaky crusts that crunched delicately beneath the fork, releasing steam fragrant with seasoned fillings. Each bite was a perfect contrast of textures: the crisp pastry giving way to molten, well-seasoned centers. The trio of sauces elevated the experience--the truffle aioli luxuriously earthy, the tomato cream sauce echoing the soup's comforting warmth, and a third option adding a playful zip. From the first creak of the floorboards to the last satisfying bite, the meal at Author's was a five-star journey. It wasn't just service; it was service from the heart, guided by intuition and a genuine love for the craft. In a world of transactional dining, Author's stands apart as an experience where every sensory detail is curated with care.

Where to start?! Well, the food was great, and the drinks were great, and the service was great,…read moreso... not much else to say! I'm just kidding, I always have more to say. ;) But, in fairness, it's a great little spot that's kind of tucked away about a block and a half off the main strip (College Blvd or whatever it's called). But, it's a hidden gem worth searching for! We were made aware of this place thanks to the kind woman working at our hotel. We were in town for a game at Lambeau, and we heard that there was a shuttle from Rookie's to the field, which we definitely wanted to make use of! (That's a whole other review, but let's just say, it was an experience I'll never forget, and one I would repeat in a heartbeat!) The crowd here was clearly Packers fans. But, in their defense, they didn't make us opposing team fans feel threatened or not welcomed. Quite the opposite! Once they realized we were going to be respectful of their place and their folks, they welcomed us! The food really is good, especially for the money. It's one of those rare inexpensive places left in this country, where a pretzel appetizer easily feeds a family of four! LOL! I wish there weren't just two of us, because we also ordered boneless wings and cheese curds! Everything was hot and fresh, and it all tasted great. The drinks were large, inexpensive, and cold. No complaints at all. The service was also really wonderful, with friendly staff and very efficient servers. Like I said, nobody gave us a lot of grief for being from out of town. But, we could tell right away, this was a "local spot" and for a very good reason. Locals and regulars definitely make up the customer base, but they keep coming back for all the other reasons provided: good food, good drinks, and very reasonable prices. Example: I offered to buy a beverage for a very nice person who was incredibly helpful to us, specifically in arranging our spots on the shuttle bus. She was drinking a rail Old Fashioned. You know what that cost me? $3.50. That's not a South Park reference. That was what I paid for a rail cocktail! Anyway... if I'm ever in Appleton again, I'm stopping by. This really is a diamond in the rough, and one well worth your time in searching for.
