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.

We got the pretzel bites and those were really good and we would get both again. My biggest problem is that once we were sat, the waitress tried to push the cheese curds on us multiple times even after we told her we did not like them as we do not like the cheese that they put in them. The prices were shockingly better than I expected them to be.

Well I was excited to try their dill pickle wings and Bloody Mary wings. I called because they were…read moremarked busy on Uber One. A gentleman was so nice and said I will fix that for you. Shortly, I was able to order online. I didn't take pictures however I do want to share. The wings were cooked perfectly. I felt there wasn't enough seasoning of either of the flavors. There wasn't a way to order extra of the dry rub flavors. The Dill Pickle was barely detectable-but the wings were still great! I put my own seasoning on at home. What I could taste of the Bloody Mary Wings (also dry rub)was awesome! I wanted more of it. Next time I will try those Bloody Mary wings again! Things were packaged well and they did come with ranch and celery. We just need that flavor on those wings. Pictures next time

Boats pull up to the sandbar, people swim in to grab food and drinks, and the atmosphere is lively and fun. When we visited, there was a live band playing and they had a Brewers game special: two 22-ounce Miller Lites for just $7. I honestly think this place is bigger than anything similar in the Milwaukee area. Whether you're looking for a casual day on the water, a large party venue, or even a wedding location, Waverly Beach has the space and setting to handle it. Definitely worth checking out!

Another disappointing visit to Waverly. We waited 10 minutes just to be acknowledged outside, and…read moreanother 10 minutes for water--still no drinks. Our server was pretty basic, with little warmth or apology for the delays. When my Bloody Mary finally arrived, it was underwhelming and tasted more like watered-down tomato juice. My bruschetta came out well before everyone else's meal, and the food runner didn't say a word or acknowledge the issue. By the time the rest of the food arrived, the experience was already disappointing. A $45 bill for one entrée, an appetizer, and two drinks feels unreasonable given the service and overall experience. At this point, the view is really the only thing Waverly has going for it.

I wasn't asking for anything crazy, just to add a $4 item that was advertised in store (it wasn't even listed on their website, so I didn't know about it beforehand). No offer to help, no coupon, nothing, just a hard no, delivered like I'd asked for something unreasonable. On top of that, the total came to over $40 for one large and one small pizza, which already felt steep. Combined with the unhelpful service, it just wasn't worth it.

We came here at 730 on a Sunday. Maybe a dozen people. We ordered burgers with fries and some mozzarella sticks. Noticed that the man at the grill was busy shaking dice and having a good time with 4 guys at the bar. 2 to go orders were picked up and I had my boyfriend go up and see if they started our food. He had not. We waited to 30 minutes and nothing. Very disappointed and upset. We paid for our Bloody Mary and a soda and left. Customer service was very poor tonight and nothing after 30 minutes. Nope. No thanks WN. I'll go somewhere else.

We sat outside with our family in f 6 , next to an outdoor huge Connect Four game for the kids. We were happy to order wings with 4 differed t sauces , loved the Asian Zing, Original buffalo, and garlic parm. No one liked the mango habanero, it was overly hot with an artificial mango taste that was not pleasant. Wings and fries were perfectly cooked with just the right crisp. Loved the seasonings on the fries and ordered a second order. Kids' meals were well priced and included a side and milk. Our server, Landrell, was amazing. Kids wanted to come back again just to see him! I don't usually give chain restaurants 5 stars but this hit the spot.

There are bars like Scuba's all over Wisconsin, so IMO you really need to offer something that separates you from the rest besides an unusual name. We started out with cheese curds and some wings. Both were good. For dinner, I ordered the Blackened Ahi Tacos - which were recommended by our server. They were also good, but not great. They had good flavor and were priced correctly, but they just didn't stand out. I didn't get to snap any pictures since I was out with customers, but I don't know that I would've anyway. Again, there was nothing wrong with our meal. The food was good. The service was good. The value was good. If I lived in the neighborhood, I'd probably stop in for dinner every now and then.

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.
