I ordered the "Closed Doorwich," and it was seriously one of the tastiest, most memorable sandwiches I've ever had! The caramelized apples?! c'mon! You can't go wrong with either of their chips or potato salad on the side- both were excellent. The staff was friendly and the service was great. I highly recommend sitting on the back patio if you can- very open, clean, and quaint. We will be back to try that cherry stuffed french toast!

Burgers were a bit greasy, but that is the point. They were delicious. Onions grilled perfectly. Petals were crispy as any generic onion petals would be. Stuffed spuds? Not stuffed hardly. Those were a disappointment. Overall, nice environment, good bar food, and not too busy. Would come again if in the area.

Hungry and on your way to Door County?…read more Just North of Green Bay and unless you're (backroad smart) you are of course traveling NORTH on either Highway 57, 42 or County Trunk S to the Door Peninsula so why not treat yourself to some great local food and warm friendly people? Look no further than Joe Rouer's or just "Joe's Bar" in Duvall, Wisconsin. It's on your way to Door County and a visit to this local institution is simple and easy from any of the routes North. On Highway 57, pick up County Road "X" and you will be traveling East not more than a mile or so to Duvall. You will be greeted promptly with a smile as you enter and if you're lucky, the charming "Melanie" or "Heather" will serve you in two shakes of a lambs tail! I recommend the Cheeseburger, Dill Pickles, and White Cheddar Cheese curds although all of their offerings are delicious creations developed over time and of particular note is their Chili. It's tasty and amazing! On draft is a curated variety of beer and there's nothing like a cold Blue Moon draft with a generous slice of fresh orange. Top this off with any of their desert creations and you will be full - but not too full! Lastly, depending on where you're from you will be pleasantly surprised that they don't gouge you when it's time to settle up. I have always found it reasonable and inexpensive for a good quality lunch or dinner. I have been coming here since 1976 and think it's a great place to break up your Door County journey with some good food and localized vibe. Thanks Joe's... see you again soon! ***It's NOT illegal to drink and drive BUT please drink responsibly!

The classic dining area has not changed in 30 years, nor has the great service by the wait staff adorned in Swedish apparel. There are NO RESERVATIONS, so either go early or plan to wait a long time. We knew the drill, so we put our names in at 8:30am to get a table for 6 at 10:45! Plenty of time to shop in town as well as watch the live goats grazing on the grass roof of the restaurant! Once seated, we enjoyed the Swedish meatballs, Swedish pancakes (with traditional lingonberries or Door County cherries, and a delicious warm cinnamon coffee cake. All of the food was served quickly, was amazing and in just the right amounts. We love the classic look of the restaurant as well as the cool Swedish themed gift shop attached.

I haven't been here in almost 10 years, and I had to bring my girlfriend for her first time, and…read moreI'm so glad I did. I forgot how delicious the food is! We ordered the Swedish Pancakes special, which includes three pancakes, two fried eggs, and choice of protein (ham, Canadian bacon, sausage, or bacon), and we chose bacon. The pancakes had a texture similar to crepes and are delicious on their own, but we added butter, lingonberries, and syrup to make them "eyes roll back in our heads" delicious! The eggs were perfectly cooked to over medium, as we requested, and the bacon was perfectly cooked with a crispy and chewy texture. The side of Swedish rye toast was probably the best rye toast that I've ever had! Maybe it was the butter. The side of Swedish meatballs was excellent, as expected, but the star of our breakfast had to be the Pytt I Panna. We asked more about the preparation after reading the description and felt it sounded interesting enough to order. This dish far exceeded our expectations! The American fries are diced & sauteed potatoes with skin on some pieces, with onions and diced "Swedish roast beef." Not sure what makes it Swedish, and it doesn't matter. What matters is how incredibly delicious this dish is. Again, I'm thinking butter was used to sautee, and I support that! We shared every dish and side, and I'll say this meal is in the discussion for the best breakfast/brunch I've ever had...and I've had some pretty great ones in my lifetime! Also, shout out to our server, Natalia, who was very sweet and helpful, providing great service! If you've never been, make it happen. We waited just under an hour after signing in at 8:30 on a Friday morning, which was fine because we grabbed coffee next door at Happy Coffee and relaxed in Al Johnson's courtyard, while admiring the goats. It was a great way to wait for our table!

The staff was warm and welcoming from the moment we walked in. We ordered three dishes: the Norwegian herb-encrusted salmon over grilled root vegetables and quinoa, a New Orleans pasta with chicken, and a pistachio chicken open sandwich. Each one delivered. The salmon dish stood out for its char on the root vegetables and the quinoa, which had real texture and flavor. The dressing brought everything together in a way that felt considered, not just functional. The pistachio chicken sandwich was the sleeper hit. The chicken itself was exceptional, and it came paired with kettle chips that were better than any side chips have a right to be. The view of the water made the whole meal feel unhurried and easy, the kind of setting that makes food taste even better. Great food, attentive service, and a view that earns its mention. A complete experience.

Fortunately we were rewarded with a pleasant experience that was light on the wallet (for 2020s standards) and made us fans. Don't be fooled by the exterior/interior as it may give a cabin-like feeling when you're around. The staff are diligent in making the tables clear while getting orders ready. They only had two people working who both were doing the cooking, phone orders, in-person orders, and cleaning/bussing. Talk about a do-it-all crew. Now for the eats. I ordered a bowl of booyah and some cheese curds while pops had a plain burger. My first time having booyah, it reminds me of brunswick stew; tons of chicken, potatoes, vegetables, beans, in a thick tomato broth. Tons of flavor and quite filling, there's a reason why they sell quarts of this for tailgating and the cold stay-at-home days. I would dip my cheese curds in here which were also tasty. Right fried texture with a good cheese pull, dip it in the booyah for some of that salty consistency. Talk about a food-cheat code! My pops burger was cooked a perfect medium-rare and for only $6, was quite a bargain. This will be on the rotation whenever I'm in Green Bay for the Booyah and to try other items like their poutine and fried cod dinners. Booyahkasha!
