DeGrand's Family Restaurant — Restaurant in Denmark

My wife and I stopped here on a Friday afternoon on our way to Door County. When we travel, we try to avoid chain restaurants and focus on diners, family restaurants, and the like. We’ve found some spectacular little restaurants in the last year or two. It seemed as though DeGrand’s would be right up our alley when we came across it online, so we wheeled in for lunch.

When we came in, we were told to sit anywhere. We grabbed a booth and then waited easily ten solid minutes before a waitress came by to see what we wanted to drink. My wife and I shared the menu that someone else had left at the table, as we weren't given any. There were at least two servers working at the time and I’d say maybe 8 tables occupied, including ours.

I ordered a burger and mashed potatoes and my wife had a fish dinner with fries. The fish was okay, sort of reminiscent of Long John Silver’s if you’ve ever eaten there. My burger tasted like it was a premade frozen patty they’d buy by the case, rather than using fresh ground beef. It wasn’t horrible, but much more inline with a fast food joint than what I’d have expected at a family restaurant. The mashed potatoes had obviously been sitting for a bit before they brought out my plate, as there was a little bit of film or skin on the gravy. The fries were average, nothing special at all.

Overall, it was a disappointing stop on our vacation. We’d have been better off grabbing food from Kwik Trip...

We were seated right away, but didn't see our waiter Martin for 20 minutes. We watched him joking around with 3 other waitresses behind the counter for 20 minutes. Then he takes our orders, and we say when can we order some soda and waters? This waiter tells me and another person at our table that our broasted chicken dinner comes with the vegetable of the day, corn and a dinner roll. Our food comes to the table and we get carrots and a piece of rye bread. I asked the waitress that brought our food out why did we get carrots and rye bread instead of corn and a dinner roll, and she said, because yesterday was St. Patricks day and we need to us the leftovers up first. I watched our food sit getting cold in the cooks window for about 15 minutes, and yes it was cold! We tried getting more water, soda, and napkins from our waiter Martin, but that seemed to be impossible. We finally got a hold of a waitress and she was willing to hunt Martin down. We couldn't even get a hold of Martin for a cup of soup that was supposed to come with my wife's all you care to eat salad bar and soup. So our experience was, we had next to no service, cold food, and we were feed all the leftovers from yesterday!...

walked in and waited to be seated, looked at funny when we were waiting. the lady taking my order literally pushed my menu to the side of the table as i was reading it to put my drink right in front of me. wife ordered seafood alfredo with soup and salad bar, salad was limp and old plates were clear glass with streaks all over them! the alfredo came with SLIVERS of scallops! like they were supposed to add 8 scallops but had 3 so they sliced them thin and quartered them. child didn't like the mac and cheese, had a sour taste and overly soft noodles. I wouldn't be surprised if they cooked the mac and cheese 2-3 days earlier. grand total of 60+ dollars for 2 meals an app and a small portion of mac and cheese! child recieved a plastic cup with plastic top to drink from but we had to leave the cup? re used children's cups that are supposed to be one time use and sent with the kids! Dont come here for dinner folks stick to...
