    A friend recently told me about The Deli on Crown after he brought some chocolate babka to an event I was at. I decided to check it out as soon as I could. I ordered chicken matzah ball soup, a pastrami sandwich on french bread with extra pastrami, a slice of chocolate babka, and a can of Dr. Brown's Root Beer. The broth for the soup could have been a little more flavorful and I sadly only found a couple slices of carrot in it, but the large pieces of chicken in the soup were appreciated. I didn't dislike it, but I don't know if I'd get it again based on the price. With St. Patrick's Day right around the corner and plenty of opportunities to have corned beef, I decided to go with pastrami for my sandwich. I liked being given the option of french bread because I'm not a fan of rye and I'm glad I ordered the extra meat because 4 oz for the normal amount seems a little skimpy. Overall I liked the sandwich. The chocolate babka is to die for. It's like a loaf of bread crossed with a cinnamon roll, but instead of cinnamon layered throughout it's a chocolately fudge-like thing. Absolutely the best. I had Dr. Brown's Root Beer for the first time a little over a year ago and have been struggling since to find a place locally that specifically sells root beer from that brand, not just their other flavors. I've tried many different kinds of root beer in my life and this is the best one of them all. I'm thankful I stopped and saw they had it.

    This is a great new Kosher Deli, tucked away in the lower level of the Peltz Center of Jewish Life. There's no sign on Mequon Road, so you have to turn in to see the signs for its location. A bit of local marketing got me in the door. A friendly Rabi gifted me a loaf of challah bread one Friday afternoon, so I decided to give them a try. I visited and got a pound of pastrami. It was delicious, and I plan to stop in again; however, the hours are limited, so be sure to check before you go. Sadly, they did not sell the loaf of bread that got me interested in the store to begin with, but I plan to go back to sample the remainder of the menu.

    This is a new little hidden gem in Mequon! Pros: Great menu options, nice employees, our sandwiches are very flavorful! Side options were great too, I enjoyed their potato salad. So much potential here and I hope they do well! Do yourself a favor and purchase a slice of the chocolate babka for after or the next morning - so so good!! Cons: bread was either dry or stale - kind of fell apart when eating. Perhaps the French roll option is better and I will try that next time. Also, menu says 6 ounces of freshly sliced meat. I didn't feel it was 6 ounces and definitely could have used more. Also - the prices were a little high ($35 for two sandwiches and 1 soda), but if they're corning and smoking their meats there, I have no problem paying for the work behind that. However, no mention of doing this in house. Would love to see this if they are. Lastly, there wasn't much of a vibe in the restaurant. No music or ambiance. It could have been more warm and welcoming with some music on. Overall, will definitely go back. The staff was very nice and the sandwiches were great!

    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.

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.

    This is a go-to for kids in the area. I'm not saying it's not for adults but everytime I'm in…read morethere it's 90% high school kids. Their mac and cheese options are fantastic. I've asked about the mac recipe, and was told it was completely secret and only the the owner knows the recipe. I'd give it 5 stars, but it is a bit on the pricey side.

My husband had the eggs Benedict and was somewhat disappointed because he likes a traditional Benedict with an English muffin and Canadian bacon, which they don't offer. This Benedict was made with ciabatta bread and thinly sliced ham. The service was great. We were seated right away on a Sunday morning around 10AM and our waitress was very friendly and attentive.

We checked in through the app, which said a 15-25 minute wait. It asked if we wanted to check in via GPS, and I selected yes. After 20 minutes of the app still saying we were number 4, we went inside and were seated immediately: don't know why they have gps check-in enabled if they don't honor it: but I was glad to be seated. The waitress came over quickly and got our drink order. The drinks (juice) came up reasonably quick, and tasted fresh. She took our order, and the food came up remarkably quick. The presentation was excellent. When we were half way through our meal, the waitress dropped off the bill without asking if we needed anything else. My husband noticed the price didn't match the menu. We got the waitresses attention, and my husband told her the price was off. She responded by gas lighting him, and saying the menu pricing matched and was he was wrong. She did say she would grab him a menu anyways. She didn't grab a menu, but came over and said we had the only menu in the restaurant with wrong pricing and she apologized, then stood there looking at us. We asked what was going to be done to resolve the issue. She said she could ask a manager to look at it, which we told her okay. The manager came over and talked to us. He gave us half off one meal but didn't know if the discount code would work. It didn't, so we took our receipt up to the front. They called the same manager over. He did add our discount. The woman at the front apologized, not to us, but to the manager for the inconvenience. My husband asked why she was apologizing to the manager. She was confused. The food and building were wonderful. The attitudes, integrity of the pricing, and the lack of compassion to our feelings being replaced with the attitude we are nothing more than an inconvenience, made this a terrible experience. If they fixed the problem without us having to constantly push the issue, this would have been a 4 or 5 star rating. When we were leaving it looked like they were changing the menus to the ones with the correct pricing.
