Milwaukee Burger Company - Appleton — Restaurant in Town of Grand Chute

There is potentially a great place underneath all of the TV busy-ness; the set up is a draw- then, the onslaught of noise and across-the-room audio that defies a good meal out, and a great time for the money spent. If an elaborate, expanded bar scene is your focus, and that style appeals to you, then go. However, the din of dinner noise exceeded any good feelings that may have been had at this establishment. Going out, enjoying your time with others, sgaring space with those around you who are also enjoying their time, makes for a terrific evening out, even when the service and/or the food is only mediocre. My belief is that the food choices, the drink options, and the creative approach used warrants a presumably fantastic and entertaining outing. Sorry to say that the chaos of the evening spent there superceded any joy of what the food may have tasted like(presentation was very fun). In thinking about how this particular place might actually do better - in attracting others like me - some interesting barriers might help cushion the audio blow as you enter this establishment. Other possibilities exist(we have experienced them elsewhere), though how practical and possible they may be lies with those in charge. As a side note, our server did her upmost to ensure our good time - though we could see that she was also struggling with the overloud ambiance - a sign of a so-so time. The overall assessment is this: partition-off areas for those patrons not getting ready to use this place as a jumping off point to go get the FridayNight dance fever ramp up, on. Select TV choices that are of current interest to more than the 20- somethings that have a few miles to walk before they can truly understand the context of personal, one on one interactions that can be enjoyed out in public- ya' kno'... eating with a good conversation - other...

The remodel is nice, however the food quality has definitely gone downhill. We've never had any big issues prior. However, we were charged for things we didn't order. My burger tasted a day old, definitely not fresh. My son's chicken wings were dry and hard to eat. I expected fresh after how long we waited for it. I'm sure there were other things wrong with our bill but the waiter was standing at our table lingering as I was trying to review it and I felt rushed to pay. It's an interesting tactic I've been noticing, so you don't catch items you didn't order. I should have taken a pic of my bill which I will start doing when I notice them do this. It did happen recently at another establishment. We really didn't feel like having to deal with this right before Thanksgiving. It was busy and we had things we needed to do. So we just concluded we won't come back. And last thing is, the waiter was a bit overbearing and out of line when asking for my son's id and asked him to verify his address. Joking or not, it was uncalled for. After this experience, we unfortunately decided to take this place off our list.

To note: Our bill was $72. We ordered the fire cheese curds as an appetizer 10.99, which were the freshest thing brought out. I ordered a cheese curd burger and my order came with fries 12.99. My son had 10 boneless chicken wings which was 10.99 and waiter brought out a large tray of fries with that he didn't order and we were charged for. I had one blueberry pie beer 7.50 (tiny serving) and a blue moon. My son had 2 blue moons. Blue moon $6 each. Our bill should have been $60, not $12 more for I don't know what. Keep an eye on your bill if you eat here. Now we know why the table next to us were making negative comments as they got...

The food is fantastic, but a bit pricy. Two burgers with sides, two sodas, and an order of cheese curds, for almost $60. I'll add this restaurant to my, once in a while, list of burger joints.

Our burgers were very good. I had the steakhouse mushroom and Swiss with beer battered french fries. My friend had the cheese burger with waffle fries. I ordered my burger medium rare, and it was cooked perfectly. My friend ordered his burger medium, and it was also cooked perfectly. Unfortunately, I did not like the beer battered fries (personal taste), but the waffle fries were very good.

The cheese curds were amazing. Some of the best cheese curds I've ever had. We got the house ranch and the smoky chipotle ranch dipping sauce to go with them. The house ranch was very good. The smoky chipotle ranch was even better.

Service was great. The place was packed when we walked in but we were seated within a few minutes. Our server was at our table a few minutes later. Our server was very friendly. We placed our orders and had our food in about a half hour; considering how busy they were, the time from when we placed our orders to when we received our food was impressive.

The atmosphere is sports bar/tap house, warm and relaxing. Big dining room with tables and wall booth's. Nice big bar with plenty of seating. Lots of different beers on tap. And the restaurant was very clean and well kept.

We had a great time. Loved the food. We will definitely be back latter on...
