Testimonials

On 11/12/2025 Richard Crane had this to say:
Great food…..worth going for the desert alone (tortes), friendly staff, highly recommend!

On 11/12/2025 John F. had this to say:
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.
