A little place worth finding in Pewaukee. First time diners, we tried a bit of many dishes, and…read morecan absolutely say this is traditional German food. The owner, Mat is doing his Oma and mom (Bo) proud, and I bet this place is especially in the summer when the food is not the same old options up and down the Pewaukee shoreline. With outdoor service and seating in warmer weather, and now a cute little indoor dining room, I am glad I took the time to stop for dinner. We tried the chicken and pork schnitzel, both bunless; the Curry Wurst; Pretzel bites; Spätzle; Oma's Potato Salad; and Sprecher's Root Beer, of course. However, beer is also on the menu, along with other options. The menu is not huge, but if you like or want to try true German dishes, stop in. The pricing is fair, and the owner is very nice. They use the all-natural Wisconsin Gold Tallow for cooking, and I just learned about it and how it makes dishes so tasty. And it is even great for facials!

If you know Steny's Lake Country, you already expect a good time--and this newer location (only…read moreabout 2 years old) delivers, even though it's tucked into a corporate park. Don't let that throw you off--it's super easy to find and the parking lot is a huge plus (no circling like downtown). We stopped in for their Derby party and it was a blast. Fun games, great energy, and an overall lively atmosphere that made it feel like an event, not just a night out. Food-wise, we kept it classic: cheese curds and the lobster dip--both were really good. The curds hit that perfect crispy/cheesy balance, and the lobster dip felt a little elevated but still totally shareable and worth it. I'd definitely go back again, but next time I'd probably pick a less busy time so we can relax a bit more and try more of the menu. The atmosphere was great during the event, but it'd be nice to experience it on a more laid-back visit too.

The beers came pretty fast as well as the curds. They were hot and fresh and I just love the ranch dipping sauce at this place. It's amazing! We waited about 30 mins to order food. When we did it was 6:40pm and we ordered 1 meal to split. We ordered the sliders with fries. It took over 35 mins to get 1 meal. The wait was a bit long as at that time the place was getting empty. One suggestion is since you have to scan a QR code to order there needs to be an option when you add your meal to say "sauce in side" or an additional comments area? My mom doesn't like thousand island dressing but I do and since we're we're sharing the only option I was given was not have the dressing at all. So I had to walk up to the front counter and they had to wait till they saw the order and then they had to go into the computer and add the comment. It was just a headache that could've been fixed with this added to the app for convenience, i'm sure I'm not the only person that wants a sauce on the side?

The prices seem reasonable as compared to other places. When the check arrived we noticed a "Customer Service Charge" that left us wondering about it. When questioned, the server indicated it was because we paid via credit card, not cash. This was an irritant because there was no prior mention of this additional charge either from the server or the menu. If it's stated on the menu it apparently wasn't in a prominent place. What I don't get is the fact that I can order something a bit more pricey with the card. When I'm made aware of this I order accordingly; that means a lower priced item. That in turn translates into less profit for the establishment. Card users have a tendency to order more items or more expensive items. That gets lost when it becomes card vs cash.

Every aspect of the Smoked Cue'ban was clearly made with care and arranged intentionally, which is way beyond what I'd expect from a quick sandwich for lunch.

I was even approached to check on how the meal was. I don't think you'll find a better BBQ restaurant anywhere around here.

Food: They have a really large selection of items. It's all posted on the wall next to the counter. You can get sandwiches, sides, or meats by the lb to go. Lot of excellent options. They offer a selection of beverages, including cans of beer, from a cooler. We decided on a couple of sandwiches. I got the Pork Belly with a side of Bourbon Mashed Potatoes, and she got the Chopped Brisket with the Dill Pickle Potato Salad. I had them toast my bun. Didn't take long before it all came out. Good temperatures, excellent flavors, and good size portions. They have 4 different sauces at the tables, and there are even more at their sauce bar. My food was awesome! The pork belly had nice slick slices, good ribbons of fat, and melt in your mouth tender. The mashed potatoes were sweet, and creamy, with a little chunkiness. Bun was toasted nicely, but a grilled option would make it even better. Tried most of the sauces, and found a couple that I really liked, the Gold Tang and Alabama White. My wife's experience was not as good mine was. Her's was the chopped brisket. Some of the meat was excellent, but there was enough dry pieces that you really needed to have sauce. A bit disappointing. The potato salad was very good. Very fresh, with good picklet flavor. Service: The folks that took care of us were all super friendly and helpful. Got some needed help with ordering, and advice on the sauces to try. Even stopped by during the meal to check on us. Atmosphere: The place is small, but they have comfortable seating for different size groups. It' has a casual barbecue feel to it. There were several other small groups there, and the noise level was good, easy to have comfortable conversations. The selection of sauces on the table, and the sauce bar are easy to figure out and use. Might be helpful to have small plastic cups by the bar for self service. Enjoyed most of the meal. Not sure if it was an off-day for the chopped brisket. I would definitely stop again and get the same meal. Lots to like about this place.
