Weirdest name for a restaurant with some of the best food in town!…read more I've been to Mother's Day Restaurant a few times now, as I frequently travel to this area. What a great place! When you walk in, you are truly walking in to a family diner that oozes of home cooked goodness. Food cooked to order that is delicious every single time. My personal favorite, as I've been there for lunch a few times, is the BLT. Sounds simple, right? I love a good BLT. Simple by design yet some places still manage to screw it up. Not Mother's Day. They got it right on target. Perfectly toasted bread. Crispy crunch salty bacon-y bacon. Crisp fresh lettuce and a perfectly ripe tomato to balance it all out. Can you taste it? I want it.....now! The servers at Mother's Day are about the friendliest group of people you will ever encounter in your life. Guaranteed. Anyone that says any different needs to look in the mirror. Always attentive, friendly and helpful. When you walk in, you'll notice the bakery case. Pastries, cakes, pies....whatever is fresh and in house that day. On my last visit, I noticed the carrot cake in the case. So I asked about it and was assured that it was incredible. Well, good luck cramming down a piece of anything after you finish your meal at Mother's Day. Did you say, to-go? I'm listening.... They sold me on the carrot cake and guaranteed that it was amazing. So, later that evening, I confirmed their words and that carrot cake, was in fact........AMAZING! Would I go back? There's not a lot in this particular area in Horicon, WI. But that's the beauty and the secret of Mother's Day. You don't need anywhere else. You could put 2 or 3 fast food junk chain restaurants all on the same block and I'd never even notice them, fully knowing that there is a gem of a restaurant called Mother's Day just waiting to serve up some delicious home cooked food.

We ordered identical meals. Well done steak. Eggs, hard over. Toast. Hash browns. Drinks. Surprisingly, our complete meals were brought to our table in remarkable speed after placing the order. Our food was carefully and properly cooked well into our satisfaction expectations and tasted absolutely delicious. I had absolutely no problem leaving a tip for our visit today. This establishment can proudly pat themselves on the back or work well done. We have no problem coming back again; and we will. Incessant Researrch

The food was amazing, we both had burgers; she had the California Burger and I had the Steakhouse Burger with Peppercorn Ranch. The burgers have 6 oz patties (very decent size). They also have 4 oz smash burgers which we did not try (available as a double also). The fries were delicious. The service was great. We just get water with our meals and the waitress was on top of refills. The restaurant was extremely clean. They also have a loyalty card which entitles you to 50% off your 10th purchase. The owner came out to check on us part way through our meal and was very pleasant. We will definitely be back!

It is now called village Garden Restaurant. The last trip…read moreon 6/10/2014 was a total disappointment. We ordered the special of the day which was BBQ pork ribs with mashed potatoes and a cup of soup. The soup was just OK. Nothing great for chicken and dumpling soup. But when we got the ribs we where disappointed by the appearance and then by the taste. First they looked like they where boiled and then drizzled with bbq sauce. The high salt taste was more than we could get past. They must have been boiled in a very high salt content water bath. Unable to finish them, we left for Culvers.

Worth a stop if in the Beaver Dam area!

We stop in here from time to time as we live a few times over, and this time we were NOT impressed…read more The bartender was awesome, however very busy as there was no server and she had a full bar and 5/6 tables. I ordered my burger med rare (which I eat everywhere) and it was RAW (pictured with the chips, as I pulled all the raw meat out and showed the bartender). I was absolutely disgusted. I didn't get my food until the other 3 I was with were almost finished eating. The other burger pictured was supposed to be med well and was not. The bartender handled the situation very well, she comped my burger and took half off the one that was supposed to be med well. The thing that sent me over the edge was she was supposed to split tips with the cook. I didn't see him helping her as he was busy in the kitchen, but I have experience in the industry and simply do not agree with that. Our tip reflected the bartender, not the cook. Hopefully it gets better next time!

A good experience over all. We visited on a Sunday as we were celebrating my mom's 79th birthday…read moreearly by exploring the Horicon marsh area. I live in Madison and she lives in Green Bay so we like to meet some where in the middle and find neat museums or events to visit. Well Mom wanted to visit the Horicon Marsh "Explorium" which we did. I would recommend. After we were looking for someplace local for lunch and found this pub in the town of Horicon. I was a little disappointed that the menu wasn't more Irish for an "Irish" pub but it was a good selection of Wisconsin American pub food. Burgers, wraps, pizza, fried apps, etc. looked like a large selection of beers and White Claw type alcohol drinks but as we had long drives we did not partake. I had the cheese burger with tots to share and Mom had the black bean burger. We were happy to see a couple of vegetarian options on the menu as Mom sometimes struggles with this. Service was very friendly and accommodating. Mom didn't want to sit at the bar because she is short and all the stools were tall. We instead were recommended a table in a sort of half partitioned side room. The stools were still tall but they had foot rings so Moms feet didn't dangle. It was also quiet enough we could talk easily vs. the bar area. Food arrived promptly and was well prepared. My burger was cooked perfectly and Mom's bean burger was served with sautéed mushrooms on a toasted bun. Both special requests. My tots were a big hit with Mom and I for being super crunchy but not over cooked. Value, our entire meal with several soda refills was $21. I think that is extremely reasonable. Note if that staff ever read this. I always try to pay when out with my Mom (especially when celebrating her b-day). But she's a stubborn lady. I've been paying admissions and souvenirs the last few trips to museums which I did again at the Explorium. So Mom insisted. I hope she tipped you well! Only complaint please add one Irish dish. I'd recommend "shepherd's" pie (really farmer's pie as lamb availability/price might not work). And more potatoes!
