    Biscuits and Gravy w/ bacon
    Sheila C.

    I thought the food was good, but average. Took forever for them to bring me my toast, I was half way through my meal. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The building and inside are very cozy and intimate.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Pancakes, 3 eggs, 3 sausages

    Chucks will always be a 5/5 for me. Breakfast here is the perfect hometown local place that will feed you well for a fair price. My go to breakfast orders is always the Jimmy Z on a bagel with sausage and a side of fries. However, the pancakes here are some of the best I have ever had so I had to get those today. Ranch here is amazing too and the fried cheese balls are one of the most underrated things on the menu. I also have to come back at some point to try their deep dish pizza which I've heard good things about. People here are always so nice and helpful as well. Can't beat the midwestern hospitality. [[HIGHLIGHT]]All in all, this place is exactly what you want in local diner that you will always reminisce about when you are away.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Bacon and eggs with American fries
    Michelle N.

    The food was out of this world delicious! The potion sizes were enough to fill up a hungry man! Coffee pot left at the table. Our waitress was on the spot with her friendliness and light up the room smile. The heated indoor patio with lots of windows was so homey and cozy. Loved watching the squirrels collect their nuts.

    Cinnamon roll french toast
    Greg B.

    I had a late morning movie at the Marcus Theatre in Mequon and wanted to stop somewhere for breakfast first. The place I initially thought of was closed for the holiday weekend, so I had to look at other options. I've been to Chuck's Place before (mainly for their fish fry), but it had been a long time since my last stop and I wasn't sure if I had ever tried their breakfast. In addition to having a breakfast burrito, which I generally seek out, they had an amazing looking cinnamon roll french toast. Rather than choosing between the two, I ordered both and decided I would only be eating one meal that day. My order consisted of the cinnamon roll french toast and a breakfast burrito with egg, Nueske's bacon, and cheese with hash browns for the side. The cinnamon roll french toast is a diabetic's nightmare and a sugar lover's dream. Not only do you have sweetness in the cinnamon roll itself, it's coated with cinnamon/sugar and powered sugar after it's fried AND you get syurp to pour on top. The first of the two pieces were great, then the amount sweetness started to do me in. I strongly recommend ordering a salty side to mix up the flavor, like bacon, if your order the cinnamon roll french toast. The breakfast burrito was awesome. All of the ingredients had moments to shine and Nueske's bacon has such a higher tasting quality that lesser bacon simply doesn't have. The hash browns were perfectly crispy, but needed salt and pepper to enhance the flavor. Service was uneven. It took a while to be seated because "they were cleaning tables" even though I saw no one cleaning and two empty tables at a quick glance that were ready to go. It also took longer than expected to get my water. The entryway can be extremely packed for those trying to come in and those trying to check out depending on when you're passing through. Not much you can do about that, but just be aware that it could be a little difficult.

    Chucks awesome Cheese Balls and secret sauce
    Erin P.

    One bite of their famous cheese balls and you'll understand why they get their acclaim. A half order gets you 5 of these bad boys (full order = 10). The cheese is luxurious, gives great pull and the delicately seasoned batter is expertly crisped to provide the perfect texture contrast to the molten, gooey goodness. Served with their secret sauce- which totally rocks. It has a subtle sweetness. It reminds me a little of Russian Dressing or the Secret Stadium Sauce. Whatever it is, don't be afraid. It's the ideal compliment to those killer balls. Honestly there isn't anything bad here and people talk a lot about their pizza and breakfasts- which are delicious but they also have a pretty good burger. Today we had our two fav sammies: the French Dip with mushrooms and onions and the Southern Fried Chicken. Both were outstanding. Chuck's has something for everyone and I can't wait to return.

    Easy to drive past this unassuming place, but this family owned business has a lot to offer. They have a moderate-sized menu covering a wide range of cuisines you wouldn't expect out of a diner-looking establishment. I have tried the chicken Parmesan spaghetti and eggplant Parmesan. Turns out I have an affinity for Parmesan dishes. They were both tasty and even had enough for leftovers. If you're hungry their entree size is plenty sufficient for a single serve and may even have extra to share with other. The side salad that came with the entree was a decent size too, not tiny and just right. A little less than a serving and appropriate for a side. I added my group's orders too for illustration, and I would definitely come back to try the others. Drink wise , they have a basic selection, I did order half raspberry lemonade and half soda water which isn't a typical drink and they were able to accommodate. Staff were friendly and accommodating. They were attentive and was able to get the order correctly the first time! :)

    The Chicago deep dish.
    Steven T.

    I finally got back to try the Chicago deep dish pizza, I'm not in this area much so it has taken a while after learning that they make this pizza. I grew up in Chicago so I have tried all major hitters up until I moved to WI and I have one favorite place for deep dish which is Lou Malnatis, no fear because they are not in WI and no competition to Chucks. I have been eating LM since my teens so it's the bar for deep dish pizza. Ok, if you have never had a Chicago deep dish pizza let me break it down for you because a lot of people in WI I talk to think its thick crust pan pizza which it's not. This pizza is a thinner crust with a wall for the edge to hold in all toppings and built upside down compared to a regular pizza. The cheese is on the bottom, the sausage is a sheet on top of the cheese and the sauce is on top which is more of a chunky tomato relish with a garlic flavor. Well Chucks has the correct look and smell I noticed right away so let's dig in. The pizza was pretty good I have to say for the record and it's almost there, almost. It has the right amount mozzarella cheese, it's cheesy. My first thought was it's tasty with the garlic/sausage/sauce flavors playing well together but it was missing something, Chucks doesn't do the butter crust which is the missing flavor that makes Chicago deep dish for me. The butter crust is the only pizza that I will eat the wall of the crust and not throw it away, Chucks gets tossed. Overall the pizza is good and if you can't get to the greater Chicago area this is close enough to satisfy if you don't want a frozen store version which is out there. Even though it's missing the butter crust everyone at work liked it and I will have to try some other pizzas on the menu.

    Met a friend for dinner…read more Food: I really like the food and drink menu at Café Hollander. They offer a broad selection of beers and other beverages. I'm not much of a beer drinker, but whenever I come here, I always order the Stiegl Grapefruit Radler. It goes down easy and has none of the bitterness that many beers have. For dinner, I ordered the Chopped Salad with added chicken. It arrived looking fresh and was a generous portion. I ended up taking half of it home for another meal. Service: We received terrific service throughout the evening. Our server, Grace, did a great job getting us settled in. Waters arrived right away, followed shortly by our drinks and food. Everything was efficient, but we never felt rushed. She was friendly, attentive, and took the time to have a little conversation with us, making the experience feel more personal. Thanks, Grace! Atmosphere: It was a beautiful evening. Since it was just a little cool outside, we chose a table indoors near one of the open doorways, which let in plenty of fresh air. The noise level was comfortable, making it easy to carry on a conversation. Café Hollander continues to be a solid choice for a great meal.

    Get the crispy chicken bowl!…read more I finally tired and ohmygosh I've been thinking about going back again sooner than later just for that. Packed with crispy broccoli, a quinoa garden medley, avo, panko chicken, and sriracha mayo, this meal had great flavor and had me leaving very statiated. All good things to say about this spot in general, everytime without fail. But this latest dish discovery was an extra win!

With a lot of variety and friendly service, this definitely is a great go-to place. My Mom and I came here for a light dinner and ordered the crab cake and mussels appetizers as our entrees. Thinking that wouldn't be enough food, we added the arugula beet salad. Everything came out pretty quickly, and the mussels portion and salad were enormous. Each dish was excellent. The mussels, a recommendation by our helpful server, were especially good - the mussels were cooked perfectly, without an unopened mussel in the bunch, and the white wine-garlic-fennel broth was seasoned well and had the classic flavor I was hoping for. The only miss was that the bread provided was only barely toasted and a little chewy. The salad was a wonderful surprise: dressed properly with a nice vinaigrette, it had toasted pepitas, creamy goat cheese, fennel, and beets that were not overly earthy. My Mom enjoyed her crab cakes, which had a bit of a spicy kick. I wanted a little dessert and chose their Door County cherry ice cream. I would strongly recommend leaving room for it. It had a fantastic, creamy texture, tasting homemade. The ice cream itself had a natural flavor of almonds with a hint of cherry, was studded with dark chocolate and cherry pieces, and topped with a cute fish-shaped cookie. One of the best ice creams I've had. Like the food portions, it came as three big scoops, so it's good for sharing. The atmosphere is casual and fun, though be prepared for a pretty high noise level when it's full - not from music, but from everyone having a great time with friends and family. I'd recommend getting a reservation, and they're conveniently on OpenTable.

Not…read morebeing a Cedarburg resident it's an extra 20 minutes out of the way if I'm stopping after work or a 40 minute round trip if I'm just heading from home, but I'm happy to make the trip. Their menu consists largely of Mac & Cheese, wraps, paninis and frozen custard. Being a Wisconsinite it really resonates with me. I get the classic "original" mac and cheese every time. It's always consistently good and it's still warm after my 20 minute drive home. They use a less common noodle that is quite large and the portion is generous too. The other menu item I'm always to is the shake of the week. They always have a different one and they're always good. Oh, and I have to mention their salads. Not for me, but my mother likes them as much a salad she gets anywhere else. Another thing I appreciate is the fact they have an app. An app for a local place isn't common in my experience. This makes it easy to order in advance so you can skip the line, skip the phone call and better still earn rewards. Finally, I have to commend a few of the guys who work here. Two gentlemen in particular who both are always pleasant and personable, which alone is commendable, but they've also both been there a few years. They both seem to be managers, but I'm not sure, though I wanted to recognize them. Both are older than the general staff and both are there various weekdays.

    Honestly, what is it with these Foxtown Restaurant? We had a horrible experience (both food And…read moreservice) at the Foxtown Brewery where we left with a handful of gift certificates from the new manager who was hired to make things better. We thought Renards would be better, as friends had good experiences. We arrived before our friends and were seated. Once the waitress found her pad and dug out her pen, she took our drink order. The hostess that greeted our friends, could not get the door open to let them into the restaurant, but called for help to do so. The waitress stopped to take their drink order. She returned a few minutes later to take the drink menus out of his hand and that was the last we saw of her. There wasn't a server to be seen, just two hard working cooks talking to the people at the bar. After twenty minutes, someone walked by and we asked about our drinks, she offered to find someone. A few minutes later bread was dropped at our table, that woman said she had no idea about our drinks. At that time we decided to cut our losses. On the phone with a restaurant that could seat us, a man came to us and said he heard there was a delay in receiving our drinks. We said yes but since no one seemed to be able to serve us, we're leaving. He just shook his head and walked away. A very unfortunate and disappointing experience.
