    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.

    Prices are amazing for the quality of food and the amount you get…read more As far as Ambiance this isn't a date night kind of diner. Its open early 7am till 3pm except Sunday where they close at 2pm. Greek owned. Jimmy is the best line cook. You will occassionally hear cursing/ yelling --but line cooking and running a restaurant is the toughest job in America from what I've seen in my many years of restaurant work. Just cover the kids ears if you have to. Its not every day. But if you want the best consistent grill cooking, thats the Meadows. Its been in biz for 40 years + and its really tough to run one in this economy. HOWEVER--Nobody cooks as well as Jimmy or has the nose for quality like he does. Its a decent menu--not fancy. No eggs benedict here and no biscuits and gravy! Here are my faves to consider: 1. BLT 2. Patty Melt 3. Burgers 4. Monte Cristo 5. All Skillets (preferably all three meats) 6. French toast (the meadows) 7. Country Boy 8. Microcut thin Ham , fried egg , cheese on Croissant 9. Navy bean or Lentil soup (when he makes it) 10. For ham lovers you gotta get the Ham steak. Its incredible. 11. Ham Melt and fries 12. Denver with spinach and extra onion with cheddar omelet. 13. Fish sandwich with cheese and fries. Jimmy has best homemade tartar sauce. Tip: Thursdays and Saturdays are a great day to come. Sundays are really busy so you will wait cuz there are church groups and the like. The restaurant has a lot of groups, parties of people because they have a room in the back with lots of sunlight. The bathrooms I'm not crazy about. Just outdated. Usually clean. You can get higher quality Olive oil and peaches from Greece there. The best bee honey because it's Jimmy's hobby when he's not cooking.

Food: Their menu is kind've extensive- they make everything from fresh sub sandwiches, salads, burgers, tacos, fish and even enchiladas. Personally, I've tried a sub sandwich and a Philly cheesesteak sandwich. I've had better cheesesteaks but overall it was pretty good. I'll try more when I'm in the area. Location: this place can be easy to miss as it is located within a gas station at the corner of a busy intersection. There is some seating areas within the gas station, if one would like to eat there. During peak times, I'd encourage calling your order.

I notice something is off when the screen says e/s/c, meaning egg sausage and cheese, instead of the right of s/c. The employee says the total comes out to 8.45 at the next window. Wait a minute. 8.45 for a 2 for 4 crossaints and one more... that's not right. I know that for a fact. I worked at BK for a year before covid hit and i switched to my college only schedule So we get up to the window and the lady at the window *maskless with the signs right in front of her btw* and she says the same total as before. I tell her if the crossaints are 2 for 4 why does it cost me 8 dollars for 3? she says "i don' know but that's what it says so *gave this face at me too*" and i tell her fine then switch it to 2 two for four meals if i'm paying that much. and she said "mkay so sausage egg and cheese two two for fours" and i repeat myself again, uh ma'am no egg on all of em, no cheese on two of em please, "mhm 8.45" I then hand her my twenty, do the exchange, and have my grandpa check the food. not only was the croissants not toasted like trained to be, the cheese was on all of em too! after 3 corrections, that snarky attitude, the cold food, and the service, i'm sorry but this makes me not want to eat at the king. oh and forgot to mention. it was 9:45 by the time we were out of there and almost missed a glass shipment at my job pps; the flower looks more tasty than the food i ate there today The Smemmers.
