O.J.'s Midtown Restaurant. A small local Diner, located at 128 East Main Street, in Gillet, WI. My wife ordered Mozzarella Sticks, for myself, I ordered the Fish and Chips. My wife was very happy with her order, while mine unfortunately left much to be desired. The chips were decent, if too thinly sliced and soggy can be considered decent. The fish however, was still frozen and raw through the middle. The Coleslaw was heavily peppered, as though those eating it would suffer from loss of the sense of taste. The prices are a little high when one takes into account a near total lack of customer service. We were initially greeted, and subsequently left to our own devices for perhaps twenty minutes before one of the women working in the establishment deigned to come to us, despite a near total lack of business. After our orders were taken, our drinks were delivered, and we were then ignored until our food arrived, my coffee was long since empty by this time. Once our food had come, we were once again ignored in favor of whatever the two serving staff were busily not doing. The check delivered after a short time, while I am still eating, slowly, and writing this page, the waitress then brusquely walks away. I give this establishment a 3.5 out of 10. I am easily content, the low rating should be telling. The burgers and fries, and most sides are still very good... As is their coffee, when...
Read moreA diamond in the ruff!!! Where do I start? A little establishment w/ a big menu and taste. We were in Gillett for a Basketball tournament that ended in the late afternoon. After attempting a place down the road that showed open on their website, but was actually closed, we came across this gem. Don't let the older/outdated interior fool you. The menu is something I was not expecting. They have a little bit of everything for everyone! Bonus, the prices are too reasonable. Note: that is not a complaint, just me bragging on their behalf. Free refills on soda, the brands you usually only see in the fine state of WI :) And PIE, did I mention pie?!? All kinds of pies!!! Fruit pies, cream pies, monthly pie specials. Half our group order pie to go, while the other half opted to eat it then & there. Who knew a 1/4 of a pie was considered a slice? In the end, we spent $44 (that's w/ tax) for 5 people (3 adults, 2 kids) to eat a delicious, fulfilling lunch and...
Read moreThis place is known for their award- winning-pies, which are awesome. There is always a huge list of them, with many available to drool over in the cold case by the door.
I have enjoyed their other food as well, though I have only eaten off the lunch menu since that is when I am passing through the area for work. The prices are just OK. This restaurant is in a small town and only half a step above a "hole in-the-wall/ greasy spoon" so I would expect them to be a little cheaper, but they are not.
The staff seems nice enough and the place is kept clean. I heard that the original owner, OJ, just sold the place to his son, and he renamed it Midtown something or other, though the locals still refer to it as OJ's for now...
I think they are only open for lunch and breakfast, so make sure to check their hours before...
