Ron's Cozy Corner — Restaurant in Town of Oconomowoc

The wife and I stopped in today for a "let's try somewhere new" adventure. Our waitress was very pleasant and did a good job. She is the only reason service gets a 5 star.

Food: I ordered the ruben with German potato salad and beef nachos. The ruben was pretty good 6/10 because 40% of it was fat. The flavor was there but it was like slogging through a booger texture wise. The beef nachos gave me flash backs to making my own "nachos" in the cafeteria. Not even nacho cheese on it but some plastic bagged cheese that had been microwaved. Every bit of it was stale, at first I thought I was brought a plastic display. The German potato salad salad was similar to half boiled sliced potatoes drenched in maple syrup. Now my wife had the chicken alfredo to which she said "the bread was okay". Each bite she tried was drenched in oil. We hard passed on deserts, paid and left. Whoever was in the kitchen today needs to change careers.

Now for the place in general. The bar and eating area look nice and clean. The mens bathroom had a utility cabinet in it with various odds and ends all over. Could be bad timing but there was urine from pretty much the stall door to the back wall. The icing on my cake was the older gentleman there (not seen at the bar or dining room) flicking his tally wacker all over and leaving without even a thought to wash his hands.

If the owner sees this and cares, we dined around 4pm on today's date. You had maintenence working near the back of the...

Visited Ron's in Oconomowoc on the reccomendation of a relative who raved about their fish fry. Our experience wasn't as good, but there were definitely a ton of people in the restaurant who must enjoy the restaurant. We ordered a Friday luch special fish fry and a chiken and fish dinner for our visit. The rye bread was very good, the kind with a little salt on the crust which is nice. The cole slaw was a nice sized portion and just ok flavor, not much going on there in terms of flavor. The ketchup and tartar sauce were in squeeze bottles on the table. Both were very greasy and dirty, i had to clean my hands after touching them. All of the on table items appeared dirty, sticky, and greasy. The tartar sauce had a Miracle Whip taste to it. I prefer tartar made from mayo so i wasn't a fan. We received our entrees and found the fish and chicken both to be very greasy and heavy. Fish had too much batter and seemed to have sucked up a lot of the frying oil. The chicken was more of the same, heavy with grease. We were disappointed and felt that Ron's wasn't for us, but it may be good for you as everyone's tastes...

Soup sauces and gravies are obviously made from a prepackaged powdered starter. Definitely not something from scratch. Although they have the best fried chicken around I would sincerely consider not ordering anything else. Our waitress was so busy talking to another waitress that she wasn't paying any attention to her customers which were only my husband and myself. I was told the scallops only had a light breading and for deep-fried so I ordered those. Turned out it was more like a battered than anything, and the breading was at least as much in volume as the scallops were. The scallops themselves were much smaller than I was told. When we ordered our dinners we ordered something for takeout for a member of the family that is at home and the waitress was told at the time he wouldn't be eating it till much later so they didn't have to wait to fix that order. Turned out we had to sit and wait for what seems like an awfully long time for that order come out after we were finished eating and the bill was already paid. Definitely not the same as when Ron had it, and most definitely not the same as it was in the...
