    Good atmosphere. Well-priced drinks. I'd be happy to go back anytime I'm in the Fox Cities.

    Stone Arch Brewpub - The giant pretzel is a must order

    Haven't been to Stone Arch for some time. We were greeted and seated immediately. Server came to…read moretake our drink order. Service was excellent by Kasandra. I ordered the fish and chips. The fish was haddock and very light breading. Excellent. Another person ordered the Miso Salmon that was done perfectly. Our server checked on us a few times (love that). She kept our drinks full. Very happy with food and service.

They have an upstairs tap room, an arcade, and a bar and restaurant downstairs. The service was all-around incredible. The employees were warm, friendly, and professional, and they seemed to know exactly how often to check in without interrupting our meal. They spaced out our drinks, appetizers, and entrees just the right amount. Our server Andrew was particularly great. We had a soda flight of their craft sodas for a super super reasonable price, and every single soda was spectacular. We're spoiled in the craft soda department by virtue of living in Wisconsin (Sprecher, Potosi, etc), but this was definitely the best craft soda we've had. Even the wacky flavors like blue raspberry were rich and flavorful--they didn't taste overwhelmingly artificial. I cannot recommend their soda enough, although I imagine their craft beer is pretty good too! We also had a delicious mocktail, which always goes a long ways in impressing us. All of our food was reasonably priced and so, so, fresh and delicious. The Bavarian pretzel with the beer cheese was heavenly!! We loved our entrees as well. Even something simple like the fries were perfectly done--fresh, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside I don't think we could have asked for a better experience. Everything we had their was top notch, and despite the number of things we ordered, our bill was not very high at all (about $50 for a mocktail, a craft soda flight and a soda pint, an appetizer and two entrees.

    Ordered delivery from the Glass Nickel on 6/18/18. I ordered a fish sandwich and the "bacon blue"…read moresalad. Delivery was within the 30 minute time frame which I was quoted, and the food arrived very hot (sandwich) and cold (the salad). They definitely kept the two temperature foods separated. The Fish sandwich was excellent. Two fried fish patties, cheese, lettuce, tomato, on a toasted long roll with a side of tartar. The fish was light with a crispy batter and not at all greasy. The bread was not soggy and had a bit of chew to it. The tartar sauce was nice and tangy. All told, an excellent sandwich. On to the salad. What can I say? When they say it's a "bacon and blue" salad, they mean "BACON AND BLUE". There was a good deal of fresh, tender spinach but the amount of bacon and blue cheese crumbles was amazing. The star of this salad was the the bacon and blue cheese. The spinach was there as a vehicle to help bring these two to your mouth. The salad includes walnuts, BUT they're plain. The salad would be so much better if these were candied walnuts, to bring a bit of sweetness to the salad, and if they included some cranberries or some other tart fruit, it would help cut through some of the richness/cloying of the bacon and blue cheese. These additions would have made for a bit of a more well-rounded flavor profile for the salad (hope someone from the restaurant reads this). I made the mistake of going with blue-cheese dressing with this salad. If you were to order this salad, I would say go with something like a vinaigrette, again, to help cut through some of the richness of the salad. I can't speak to the dining room, but I can say that you will not be disappointed by the food.

    Service was incredibly slow. They forgot what we ordered multiple times. Dont try to get the actual…read moredrink u order - just settle for whatever makes it to the table (be happy anything made it to the table). Food orders were completely worng too. Took over 30 minutes for chicken strips- and then had the wrong side and dip anyway. Servers - they dont even talk to each other or know their tables. They come to take an order - when a different person already took the order...that never came. Want a bill? Plan to wait...and then you wont get the right one anyway. Definitely wouldnt go back.

I skipped the fries, so won't speak to those, but was allowed to add a salad for $5, kinda crappy trying to not waste food. Lost a star for this. But the wings. Oh the wings. Standard Buffalo Hot Wings. Hot by most standards, I've been done for a solid 10 minutes and my lips are still tingling. I'm happy, this ranks in the top 2 places in the nation as far as I'm concerned for wings. Cooked to perfection crispy on the outside, tender and hot on the inside, none of that undercooked weirdness you get at some places. My bartender was perfectly attentive, very polite and my cup was never left wanting. It's a sports bar with a bags and indoor volleyball and basketball. So if you're looking for summer diversions in Appleton, come here.

    I had high hopes for Tanner's based on google and yelp reviews. I found my experience to err on the…read moreinteresting side as the dishes I ordered were unexpected. The roasted Brussel sprouts were covered, literally smothered in bacon bits and feta. The sprouts were fried beyond crispy. If you like your sprouts super charred and buried under bacon, this dish is for you. I, however, would have preferred my sprouts less burnt and far less toppings. The French dip was shockingly NOT a salt bomb - which was a pleasant surprise. It's the first time I've had a French dip where I actually wanted to dip it in the side of au jus to give it a flavor bump. The real gem is Tanner's amazing selection of sides to choose from - you can swap in a twice baked potato, kettle chips with French onion dip, steamed broccoli, grilled asparagus or potato salad! Any other place would up-charge but Tanner's doesn't. I chose grilled asparagus and appreciated the separate packaging so the sandwich didn't get soggy. I would come back and try other dishes as the menu is quite large.
