After being out on the water all day long, we were totally cooked by the sun, smelled like fish, and knew that the only way we would make it home was by loading ourselves up with some sweet frozen custard. We deliberated our order for a good while but ultimately settled on what is commonly known as the menu’s finest: The Turtle. Junior size for her, super size for me.
Oh that euphoric blast of sweet fudge intermixed with salty pecans and vanilla custard. Yeah there’s a touch of carmel in there too. Don’t overthink this people: when in doubt just get the turtle. Not worth suffering from decision fatigue when you have such a brilliant go-to item sitting right there on the menu as item #1 under “Sundaes”. GET THE TURTLE! Unless youre in a big hurry (then get 3-4 scoop waffle cone, as they dont make you wait for that).
we got our receipt and moved over to the order pickup area, anxiously bouncing up and down on our tippy toes awaiting the arrival of our sundaes. We were number 347. Oh please call my number, just please say three forty seven already!! The other people in line could sense my eagerness and looked at me with a slight glare. “Hey, go pick a seat. I think ours is coming up soon.”
Finally our number came. I carefully grabbed our turtles and walked over to the table where my girlfriend was chatting up our random table-mates. Oh hi, did you get the turtle too?? Yes! How great!!! As i plunged my spoon deep into the super sized custard fudge blend, my mouth watered with anticipation. The bloodflow to my tongue surged, as if to prepare for eating ice cream much faster than is generally advised. I looked at my girlfriend and asked, “do you eat the cherry now or save it for last?” She ignored my question and we continued eating.
When we were done and it was time to go home, we were full. Dinner tonight was going to be some celery sticks with a glass of water and a small piece of bread. The turtle wasnt just a dessert, it was a classic piece of wisconsin in your mouth. The long line was TOTALLY WORTH IT. Dont miss this experience; you will thank...
Read moreGood ice cream, but seriously, I went once, and staff doesn't have critical thinking skills. we were left out in the pouring rain, with thunder and lightning with no protection from the elements, except the umbrella I was holding. When I said something, the girl got her manager. I had to restate my "complaint" including how it isn't smart to have people out here in the rain with lightening when we could of come inside and ordered. The response I got was I am doing my best.. seriously? So we got moved inside after my "complaint." A veteran with a walker was given his hot food and a huge Sundae in a paper bag and handed the plastic cup. 😳 are you freaking serious? Where is the respect to help him to his car or give a plastic bag (paper will fall apart in heavy rain) and a cover for his ice cream sundae. No common sense. No respect for a disabled,...
Read moreI'm not sure what happened to their burgers. We went specifically for a burger. The last time was last summer, it's been a while. The burgers were precooked tasting and were grey. The patties looked as if they had been frozen. The taste was very bland and it had little grey grease bubbles clinging to them. The sides were different as well. The cheese curds were chewy and greasy and slowly deflated as they sat on the table. The onion rings were little quarter sized and some were over done. I could have sworn they used fresh beef and grilled them because I remember a yummy char and seasoning like no other burger in our area. I am so disappointed that sadly we will not be back. If I wanted a burger like that I'd have gone to McDonald's (which I don't go to). Sorry to see that the original...
