Peter's Boyz Texas BBQ catered our son's wedding rehearsal dinner at a park building in Oshkosh. Amanda delivered beef brisket, pulled pork, coleslaw, and baked beans. She set up sternos with disposable pans for the hot food and the coleslaw containers had ice to keep it really cold. All we had to return was the sternos and frames for the chafer pans. The guests raved about how delicious the food was! The smoked meats were tender and bursting with flavor. Amanda's homemade sauces added either a sweet or spicy finish that made the taste extraordinary!! I highly recommend this business for all your catering needs; you won't be disappointed.

Peters' Boys Texas BBQ may be a bit cozy, but it's packed with flavors as big as the Lone Star State itself. The cook must've smuggled some Texan magic in his suitcase because it tastes like a Southern homecoming. The seasonings? A star-spangled rodeo for your taste buds. The sweet tea strikes the perfect balance, the okra is a delight, and the Moo and Oink? Pure joy. The staff? They're as warm as a Texas summer. Hats off to them! read more

The large variety of bbq sauce options was a nice addition and there are cute signs around the place. Our biggest complaint was that our waitress was MIA for a food portion of the meal. We asked for boxes and the check and said we needed to leave within the next ten minutes to be on time for a meeting, and she couldn't be found. We had to flag someone down to eventually take the payment. Definitely an average bbq place but the lunch special with bottomless Pepsi products is a good deal!

We arrived around 4:30 pm on a Wednesday and were seated immediately for the two of us, which was lovely. I started with a filthy martini (one part vodka, one part olive juice)... and they nailed it. Exactly what I asked for. My mom ordered a whiskey old fashioned press, which she enjoyed. For appetizers, we ordered the French onion soup, deep-fried mozzarella, and bacon-wrapped scallops. My mom also had the soup of the day, which was a turkey pot pie soup. Everything was very good overall. One small note on the scallops, and this is important for context: I personally have a strong aversion to seafood, and my mom is usually careful not to order seafood around me because even the smell can make me nauseous. However, scallops are usually an exception, as they don't tend to have a strong seafood odor. In this case, there was no unpleasant smell at all, which I appreciated. That said, the scallops themselves appeared under-seared and very pale, and the bacon was undercooked. Not raw, just soft and not crispy. My mom agreed it could have used a few more minutes. A minor miss, but worth mentioning. For my entrée, I ordered the French dip, which came with carrots... and honestly, the carrots deserve their own moment. They were tiny, perfectly cooked, beautifully seasoned, buttery, and balanced with just the right amount of sweet and salty. I love carrots, and these were exceptional. Highly recommend. My mom ordered a Wednesday special trio, which included barbecue ribs, pineapple glazed ham, and a turkey dinner with stuffing, mashed potatoes, and cranberry sauce. I'll note that the ham itself was delicious, but the pineapple glaze wasn't quite for me personally, as it leaned a bit too tangy for my taste. That said, the turkey was phenomenal. I had a bite, and it was moist, flavorful, and absolutely something I'll come back for. The mashed potatoes and gravy were excellent. I love stuffing, but this one wasn't my favorite; it tasted slightly sour or underdone to me, though that could simply be a preference thing. I'd still order the turkey dinner again without hesitation. Because it was my birthday, our server Jenny surprised me with a slice of chocolate cake, which was incredibly sweet and thoughtful. I was very full... but yes, I ate the cake, and it was delicious. We also split a Pink Squirrel for dessert, which was rich, nostalgic, and the perfect way to end the meal. Service was excellent throughout the evening. Jenny was warm, attentive, and paced everything perfectly. Food came out efficiently without overwhelming the table. The hostess was also welcoming and kind. The dining room was clean, comfortable, and nicely decorated. The lighting was just right, not too dark. We also arrived at a great time, because shortly after our entrées came out, the restaurant quickly filled up. One small suggestion: the website mentions half-price apps and drink discounts, but it isn't clear that those specials are bar-area only. Not a huge issue for us, but clearer wording online would help manage expectations, especially for guests who can't sit at high bar seating. Overall, this was a really special dinner, especially after years of hearing about the Red Ox and never going. More positives than negatives by far. Final rating: 8.5 / 10 We'll absolutely be back... especially for the turkey dinner and those carrots.

I did mention it to our server who was very gracious and said she'd pass it on to the chef. Again, generally good, but they just didn't hit it out of the ballpark today.

We chose a spot facing the entrance which was fun because we could watch the bar tender and see what types of drinks other patrons were ordering! I saw alot of old fashioneds being ordered. Of course, I followed the trend and did the same. I ordered mine sour it was great! Watching him make mine and by the taste, I could tell they make their own sour mix. It added a uniquely sour, yet flavorful touch. My friend ordered a dirty martini that was also perfectly made! Not to mention, they have homemade seasoned pretzels at the bar. Seasoned pretzels and an old fashioned was a great way to start this experience. We ordered our meals at the bar and then were given a number that correlated to the table we were to sit at. I had no idea this was how supper clubs worked but I liked the idea of sitting down on our own time. We were having so much fun at the bar that we didnt make our way to the table until our second drink. When we got to our table our salads were already waiting for us! I got the house salad with blue cheese. Although a simple salad it was delicious! The blue cheese dressing was super good- if thats your thing I would definitely recommend ordering. I also got the french onion soup which was amazing. Perfect ratio of soup to bread to cheese. They also serve bread when you sit down. I tried to avoid eating too much bread but found myself eating two slices. I got the perch as my entree. It was a large portion of fish, battered and fried served with tartar sauce. My friend ordered the steak and that was cooked to perfection too! I was told that when here you have to get a grasshopper drink on the way out. So I followed their recommendation and did. It was so good and I don't even like mint that much! It was served in a small martini glass. Overall I would 100% go back to and recommend the prime steer.

We didn't initially plan to go to the Prime Steer; but the restaurant we called claimed to have a long wait. I'm glad they were full because it gave us a chance to check out a restaurant that we've long talked about going to. This is what you want your Wisconsin supper club to be; good drinks, good food and great service. While the building and dining room won't make the cover of Architectural Digest, the drinks, food and service will bring you back. I was immediately impressed by the friendliness and efficiency from the bartender. She poured good drinks and the prices were reasonable. No, the old fashioned wasn't muddled, but it was a good drink. Our waitress rocked it. She proclaimed to be a newbie and apologized for being slow. We didn't mind the pace of the evening and liked learning more about the restaurant from the waitress. Myself and a dining partner both had the T-bone steak. We agreed they were perfectly cooked and well seasoned; however, they were a little bit tough. Not enough to complain. Another dining partner had his usual French fries and cheeseburger. He said they were both delicious. Our other dining partner had a combo of broasted chicken with a tenderloin. They said it tasted great and the steak was flavorful and properly prepared. A salad and cup of soup preceded the main meal. I enjoyed a cup of seafood chowder. Two others had the French onion. They said it was just good, not great. A basket of bread also came with our meal. Overall, we enjoyed our first trip to the restaurant. Quality service and reasonable prices go a long ways in our book. While there was some room for improvement, we will definitely give it another try in the future.

I'm just kidding, I always have more to say. ;) But, in fairness, it's a great little spot that's kind of tucked away about a block and a half off the main strip (College Blvd or whatever it's called). But, it's a hidden gem worth searching for! We were made aware of this place thanks to the kind woman working at our hotel. We were in town for a game at Lambeau, and we heard that there was a shuttle from Rookie's to the field, which we definitely wanted to make use of! (That's a whole other review, but let's just say, it was an experience I'll never forget, and one I would repeat in a heartbeat!) The crowd here was clearly Packers fans. But, in their defense, they didn't make us opposing team fans feel threatened or not welcomed. Quite the opposite! Once they realized we were going to be respectful of their place and their folks, they welcomed us! The food really is good, especially for the money. It's one of those rare inexpensive places left in this country, where a pretzel appetizer easily feeds a family of four! LOL! I wish there weren't just two of us, because we also ordered boneless wings and cheese curds! Everything was hot and fresh, and it all tasted great. The drinks were large, inexpensive, and cold. No complaints at all. The service was also really wonderful, with friendly staff and very efficient servers. Like I said, nobody gave us a lot of grief for being from out of town. But, we could tell right away, this was a "local spot" and for a very good reason. Locals and regulars definitely make up the customer base, but they keep coming back for all the other reasons provided: good food, good drinks, and very reasonable prices. Example: I offered to buy a beverage for a very nice person who was incredibly helpful to us, specifically in arranging our spots on the shuttle bus. She was drinking a rail Old Fashioned. You know what that cost me? $3.50. That's not a South Park reference. That was what I paid for a rail cocktail! Anyway... if I'm ever in Appleton again, I'm stopping by. This really is a diamond in the rough, and one well worth your time in searching for.
