Mill City Public House 1103 W College Ave, Appleton Burgers • $$

“The street corn tots were delicious! I would go back just for those. The burgers were good, but the beef did lack flavor. Our server was very attentive. She checked up on us often. One thing that didn't go so well was that we got the wrong order. It was our first time there so we didn't realize it, and honestly, the food took so long to come out, we forgot what burgers we ordered. So when they brought out our supposed order, my burger came with fries when I ordered a salad. I thought hey, maybe they forgot it and had fries instead. I didn't let the server know because she was busy and we were hungry, already waiting a long time for our food, and on a schedule. We needed to be somewhere and thought an hour and a half was sufficient time to eat, appearantly not. I would give this place another try, hoping that the food will come out sooner than later and that we don't get the wrong food order.”

Molo Asian BBQ and Hotpot 1170 N Westhill Blvd, Appleton Hot Pot • $$

“We visited Molo for the first time this weekend. We have never experienced hot pot or Asian BBQ before, but the staff was very friendly and patient with us explaining how to use the equipment and what to expect. Our family had had a rough month, so we took this opportunity to get out of town and try something new, to have a fun time as a family. The staff blew our expectations out of the water. One staff member even went out of her way to take our daughter by the hand to show her how to prepare shaved ice, our daughter felt so special and you couldn't wipe the smile off her face. Thank you for taking the time out of your busy day to make our experience so special.”

“LOVE this restaurant. I wish it was there when I lived in the area 20 yrs ago. I still get there a few times a year. I really enjoy the blackened shrimp tacos.

Yesterday I had the lemon cake for dessert friend's had the gluten free chocolate cake. We were all in HEAVEN!! My second time there a couple years ago we had a server who was maybe having an off day. I talked to the manager on my way out & he was sincere & grateful I had let him know.”

“The food was good, but wasn't worth the price. The steaks are overpriced because of the name. I think the worst part is you spend all that money and the only thing you get is a tiny house salad. For the amount of money you spend you should get standard side dishes. Good but grossly overpriced. It's a place you should go to once to say you have gone.”

“Excellent customer service! I had just driven 8 hours and called in for my order. The gentleman said that's no problem we can take a phone order and you don't have to go on our website. He transferred me who not only took my order, but she gave me a helpful hint as to how to save money with the order. Also, because I was driving she said to pay when I get to the restaurant and not to pull out my credit card while I was driving. An hour later I arrived at the restaurant my food was ready and I paid with no problem! They saved me a lot of time. Thank you for your wonderful customer service!”

“We featured Dalla Terra Pasta for our Adult Prom we hosted this past Saturday night and it was absolutely incredible! We served their sea salt tagliatelle pasta cooked with homemade meatballs and marinara sauce, pesto with chicken and artichokes, and used the recipe for homemade alfredo from their website and it all was entirely amazing! Every single person loved all of the dishes so much! I also want to mention how wonderful their customer service was. I called very last minute to inquire about featuring their products during our event and they were so friendly and so very accommodating to make our evening happen perfectly with their locally made pastas!🥰”

I have no use for coupons to a restaurant I'm not going to patronize again. We threw the food away because we were concerned about possibly getting food poisoning.”

“Last night I turned 21. First time at a bar “setting” went to a few different ones, but out of all of them, it was amazing here. Service was awesome, everything was fast. Food and drink were pricy, but not like the other places. Payed not nearly as much as I thought I would for as many drinks as I got. Bartender was very kind. Usually I have social anxiety, but it was so relaxing there I felt great! Food and atmosphere was great!”

We have not had a meal that was not delightful, and the service is always top notch. If you have not visited, you should put it on your list. If you have been there you know what I’m talking about. You go once and you will go back.”

“Went there twice with different friends. Everyone was impressed with the salad bar. Small but good selection of items. Liver Paste was my favorite others enjoyed the split pea soup. Two of us had the Frog Leg Special the other had the Petite Sirloin. Second time I went with 4 men. I still couldn’t resist the Frog Legs. A father son had the Sirloin for two and the other had a Med. Sirloin. We were surprised that they had beets on the salad bar. In all a great experience.”

“LOVE this restaurant. I wish it was there when I lived in the area 20 yrs ago. I still get there a few times a year. I really enjoy the blackened shrimp tacos. The service has always been wonderful and consistent. The manager stops by the table a QUICK check in. That small touch means so much!! Yesterday I had the lemon cake for dessert friend's had the gluten free chocolate cake. We were all in HEAVEN!! My second time there a couple years ago we had a server who was maybe having an off day. I talked to the manager on my way out & he was sincere & grateful I had let him know.”

Mill City Public House 1103 W College Ave, Appleton Restaurant • $$

“The street corn tots were delicious! I would go back just for those. The burgers were good, but the beef did lack flavor. Our server was very attentive. She checked up on us often. One thing that didn't go so well was that we got the wrong order. It was our first time there so we didn't realize it, and honestly, the food took so long to come out, we forgot what burgers we ordered. So when they brought out our supposed order, my burger came with fries when I ordered a salad. I thought hey, maybe they forgot it and had fries instead. I didn't let the server know because she was busy and we were hungry, already waiting a long time for our food, and on a schedule. We needed to be somewhere and thought an hour and a half was sufficient time to eat, appearantly not. I would give this place another try, hoping that the food will come out sooner than later and that we don't get the wrong food order.”

Madras Cafe 819 W Wisconsin Ave, Appleton Indian • $

“Madras Cafe is an absolute gem of a restaurant! The owner warmly greeted us when we came in. He asked if we had ever eaten there before and when we said no kindly explained the menu. He asked our preferences and made personal recommendations for each member of our group. The food was EXCEPTIONAL! I never write reviews but knew instantly I needed to share my experience. The foods were flavorful and the spices vibrant. I have to mention the coffee. If you are a coffee drinker, then you are about to be ruined for all other coffee. It was smooth and rich. Reminded me of French press but better. The prices are reasonable and fits into any budget. The owner explained how each dish was best eaten and shared a charming story about how his mother's cooking influenced the restaurant's menu. I have never felt so welcome and at home in a restaurant. I highly recommend.”

If you are looking to serve a large group (I had over 100 people) and give them great food this is the place to go!”

“We were here at 3:30 pm, so it was very quiet. I saw someone complain about the cleanliness but it seemed clean to me even the bathroom.

It took quite a while to get our drinks and the waiter kept apologizing. I believe they were training staff at the bar.

As far as seating - plenty for big crowds.

Food - Pre-meal croissant with honey butter.
I ordered ribs with honey bbq, buttered corn and southern green beans. Everything was hot, cooked as it should have been and delicious. Even the corn had a nice crisp. The ribs fell off the bone. My rasp margarita was meh, I've had better.

Husband had grilled sirloin, loaded potato and green beans. He said it was very tender and actually very good. The raspberry iced tea was also great.
