This is a really nice, but there isn’t a window on the place. If you want to sit in the dark at 2pm and have a few drinks, this is the place for you. I loved my experience here, but it’s too dark in here for me. The woodwork is really nice, the burger was delicious, and the drinks are all here. Our server was pretty special too. Enjoy…

I stopped for lunch on a Saturday with my parents. Two of us ordered the tenderloin steak sandwich (done medium) and the other ordered the roast beef. The menu states "Our rolls are baked fresh daily," so imagine our surprise when one of the steak sandwiches had a spot of mold right on top of the bun. We pointed it out to the server (a young lady who was pleasant though inexperienced) who took it back to the kitchen for the bun to be replaced. The other steak sandwich, though ordered medium, was cooked very rare. What's more, it seemed to be completely unseasoned and, more concerningly, both smelled and tasted 'off'. Though I'm far from being a snob and cannot recall ever declining to eat a meal at a restaurant due to fear of food quality, after the first bite I chose to leave the rest of my sandwich uneaten. I didn't bother to ask to have it remade - by that point I wasn't going to trust anything coming out of that kitchen, and our server was already shaken enough from the moldy bun. We didn't ask for a discount, nor were we offered one (same is true for refills). The poor quality of the food and overall experience were already evident to the server, so we didn't cause a fuss. We politely paid our bill, left a regular tip, and left. Obviously, we will not be back however. Yuck.

We’ve eaten twice so far during this visit to Oshkosh and are likely to come back a few more times before leaving town!! This restaurant is very convenient for people visiting the Oshkosh air show. A free shuttle service stops at the back gate so it’s convenient for lunch, dinner or drinks. Our first visit, we ordered the Little John sandwich. This time, it was the French Onion Soup (not recommended), the Prime Rib Sandwich (excellent), and the roast beef sandwich. We particularly like it for lunch because the prices are very reasonable compared to the concessions at the show and the food is really good. The only thing is that my companion ordered the Smokehouse Burger medium rare today but it arrived VERY rare!!
