    Blue Badger is part of the Racine Petrol stop off Exit 333. It occupies the entire second floor, and is a great space with high tops, low tables and a long bar. They also offer live music and several video gambling machines. Food is made in the Airstream downstairs and delivered via trolley. My husband had the cod fish sandwich with coleslaw side, and I ordered the Wisconsin Cranberry Chicken wrap with garlic parmesan fries. The cod was extremely flaky and tender, and the brioche bun very buttery. The wrap had a great balance of flavors and textures, with the craisins and bleu cheese being an exceptional combination. The fries came hot and crispy, and while the garlic parmesan flavor was tasty, I felt they could have used a little more. Blue Badger is a great place to stop on your travels. Good food, great service and a casual atmosphere. A nice alternative to the usual fast food options seen passing through.

    Stopped here by chance after making a pit stop to purchase O&H Kringles. The food was ready and sitting, but I still took a chance with the chicken sandwich and mashed potatoes. Both were pretty good. I just wish the sandwich was crispy. It was sitting there for awhile and it wasn't crispy at all. The taste was good though. If just ask for a fresh sandwich next time. I'll be here for future trips, but may try something else on the menu.

    Good stopping point for a road trip. I enjoyed my meal here and thought that it offered decent value for the money. The salad I ordered had a decent amount of chicken and toppings. I also really enjoyed the warm potato salad and beans/rice. Is it super unique food? No. But it was fairly good overall. As far as atmosphere: The rooftop deck was very nice. Really good place to eat and hang out. They have a gazebo and comfortable seating as well. Overall: recommended!

    O&H Kringle. Sells out fast!!

    This place is adorable. The perfect travelers' stop on Hwy 41. Lots to see, great place to stretch, gasoline, O&H's incomparable baked goods, and a darling bar and grill where your food literally rides a zip line to the mezzanine level dining area. Great views, good food; kind, friendly, professional service.

    One of the most unique bars I have been to when it comes to "truck stop" restaurants. While the method of food delivery to your table may be unconventional, it is certainly fun. You can sit in the spacious bar and lounge area or the outdoor patio and order from diner style food from the kitchen downstairs after which it will be delivered to your server/bartender via a zip line-gondola basket thing. Get some fried curds. Everything was wonderful. I am glad there are still some unique truck stop bars left in the world. Wisconsin rules.

    Fun truck stop restaurant with a unique pulley delivery system from the fried chicken in the airstream trailer on the first floor up to the second floor bar. The food is okay, service is often short handed. If you're traveling along this stretch of I 94, plan to eat here and fuel up.

    Nice bar n grill at the Petro. Had the sampler and a Ruben w/ fries. Food was good, service was even better! For being the only one working the bar and table seating the bartender was amazing!

    Hamburger is more on the rare side

    Not bad. Located at the truck stop which is cool. Bartenders looked about as happy as a death row prisoner being walked to old sparky.

    Sometimes you wonder why a place exists. So-so food, short-handed staff, cavernous place with TV screens flickering everywhere.

    The food was terrible. The service was even worse. I wouldn't go back and highly recommend spending your money elsewhere.

    Nice place to go if you're in the Racine area. A bit pricey for what you're getting but the…read moreatmosphere is nice, service is friendly, and the food is presented well although the flavors are not far off from what you'd expect from other restaurants. Convenient if you're staying at the hotel and want a nice relaxing and quiet place to enjoy a meal. In general all the food tasted fresh and did seem to use slightly better than normal ingredients. My favorite dish I tried was the Gnocchi Ala Vodka as the other ones seemed to be a bit bland. I also enjoyed the Beer Braised Reuben as the taste of the beef was prominent and the other elements complemented instead of distracted from the flavor. I wouldn't make a special trip to eat here again but I would stop by if I'm in the area.

Since I was alone, I sat on the quiet side to work vs on the louder bar side. I ordered a small Caesar without croutons and a cheeseburger, medium, with blue cheese, double lettuce, and tomato with fries. Lighting was low which was great to see the computer screen. Music was on the perfect background volume. The Caesar was really tasty! But it did have croutons as wells as grape tomatoes and olives. I would get it again. The burger was prepared a specified. It came on a pretzel bun. I asked the server which was better- the homemade fries or the homemade potato chips. He said both were good but he gets the fries. So that's what I got. The homemade fries were very, very good. Too good! The key lime pie was tart, the way I like it. The presentation was very fancy too. My waiter said the cheesecakes were the best sellers. Maybe next time! It took awhile to hunt someone down to pay my bill. This is a great option if dining alone and you want to work.
