    So many tortes!!
    John F.

    Sheboygan is known for being the "Malibu of the Midwest", but it's also known for excellent their Hard Rolls and great Brats... well this place has both. I drive here anytime I have a need for a great Double Brat. The sandwich maybe isn't the healthiest thing to eat (bread, brats and butter) but if you need your fix, this is the place. They also have very good chicken and always a large dessert menu.

    Single brat and a beer
    Michelle O.

    We were looking for a place with great brats on our way from Milwaukee to Door County and this place came up high on yelp. After driving through farmlands and next to train tracks, we found this restaurant (a former train station). Walked into the bar and got some looks from locals, being the Californians we are. Seated quickly for lunch, we all got the single brats for $5.85 each with a side of tots. I've never seen butter listed as a side except in Wisconsin! The brats were delicious and buttery, big portions on a bun to accommodate two. Served with a Spotted Cow beer, it was perfect. We also got the torte cakes to go and had them later. My s'mores was amazing with its pie crust bottom, and my brother in law loved his cherry. Service was fast and pleasant. A definite stop if you are in the area.

    Hamburger with fried onions and mustard with fries

    It's not a run to Sheboygan w/o stopping here. We don't live in the area so when we make the drive, have several stops we want to make. This is always one of them. The best!

    Perch

    I had the fish it was market price. So it was about $17.50. I should have got some torte to take home. I was so full. I did swap out the regular French fries for sweet potato fries. It was very filling. They also had sprechers rootbeer on tap. Bring cash otherwise there is an ATM by the bathrooms. I came by the other day with no cash and said cash only on door but glad I went back because at least now I know they have atm. Service was very nice

    Cheese steak with the works.  Could barely see the meat.   Or the works even.  Basic fries.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place was clean the staff was very nice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I wish I knew it was cash only then I would have brought more money to buy more things. I only saw it was cash only after I entered the establishment. Ordered the cheese steak with the works and fries. For the price it was pretty good just on the thin side for the meat. The fries were average nothing outstanding. Would I come again? Probably but I'll bring more money next time to get different foods next time. My total was 12.40$.

    Perch dinner
    Stalkerkitty B.

    The perch dinner was excellent. Fries, coleslaw, and rye bread were included. Tartar sauce was good too. The staff was friendly and attentive. It's definitely a place I would return to. Would love to try the broasted chicken.

Like I said before, the sandwiches arrived the size of an adult's head. Jar dropping is a fitting description of what we looked like when our server placed the sandwiches before us. The homemade bread was soft and delicious. The chicken club easily had half a pound of cooked bacon on it. Before we ever took our first bites, we knew we would need to go boxes. Wait, did I mention we had the most wonderful cheese curbs as an appetizer? Worth ordering but only if you split a sandwich!! There are a handful of booths in the front area along with seating along the bar. TVs in the main room. There is also a back room that would hold maybe another 40 people. This tavern has been in place for years under different names. I would love to hear the history. I could see a set up that would have been particularly useful for gambling & drinking during prohibition. The staff was very efficient and helpful. One person out front & one in back. Never had to wait.

    I had the Frankie's burger and it was both delicious and humongous. The bartender served because I…read moresat at the bar to ate and she was funny and efficient. The bartender served has the authentic feel and look of a classic WI corner bar, which makes sense because that is exactly what it is. The menu had so many choices that looked excellent it was hard to choose. There was more dining area further back so the seating was much more than I would have guessed from looking at it from the street. The restaurant and bathroom were both very clean too. I just wish it was at a corner near me instead of being 2 hours from home, this would be a great place to have nearby.

If you tell us the wait is 40 minutes and we are seated in 45 minutes, we won't complain. But if you say the wait is 10-15 minutes and we have to inquire about what's going 40 minutes later and it turns out you can seat us immediately, the front of the house management is not doing their job very well. (At least it was pleasant outside and we enjoyed strolling up and down the marina checking out all the boats while we were waiting.) Once we were finally seated, everything was fine. Our server greeted us promptly. Drinks were delivered shortly after we placed our order and the food came to the table not long after that. I ordered the brisket sandwich with a side of potato salad. Compared to BBQ brisket I've had elsewhere I'd give it a six out of ten, not bad but far from the best (but I really didn't expect a place in Sheboygan to top places in Kansas City or Memphis for example). I sampled all their sauces (none of which wowed me) before settling on one that brought a touch of heat to the palate. The potato salad was a tad one-note -- it needed a touch of acid and a bit more texture, I.e. crunchy vegetables. All in all, Parker John's was okay -- but I won't be rushing back anytime soon.
