My family and I have had the pleasure of visiting A & A Restaurant in Wausau, WI, twice, and both experiences left us eagerly anticipating our next visit. Our first adventure to this delightful spot was a dine-in experience, just my husband and me. It was a cozy and intimate outing that gave us a wonderful introduction to what A & A has to offer.
The highlight of that first visit, apart from the warm and inviting atmosphere, was the Baklava. My husband and I still reminisce about it. It was truly exceptional – the kind of dessert that stays in your memory long after the last bite.
Our most recent visit to A & A was a bit different but equally enjoyable. This time, it was a takeout order for myself, my adult son, and my granddaughter. Even as a takeout meal, the food maintained its high quality and delightful flavors. It's not often you find a restaurant that can provide an equally wonderful experience both in-house and as a takeaway.
Each dish we've tried, from the One and Only Burger my son loved, the Hangover burger my husband raved about to the pot roast I've ordered and loved twice, to the kids' chicken tenders that left my granddaughter wanting more, has been a testament to the culinary prowess of A & A Restaurant. They've managed to create a menu that appeals to all ages and tastes, making it a go-to for family meals, whether we choose to enjoy it in their welcoming establishment or in the comfort...
Read moreWonderful experience! I think 1702 Grand Ave has found the restaurant that will last! We went for the first time this morning fur Sunday Breakfast and we will definitely be going back! We had great, friendly, timely service. The atmosphere is welcoming and lovely. We wanted to try so many things that sounded good on the menu, but went with the eggs benedict with crab, country fried steak breakfast, and the homemade corned beef hash. All of these were delicious. The crab benny has plenty of sweet, lump crab meat, the eggs were poached perfectly, and the hollandaise spot on. I was very impressed that this wasn't just tiny shreds of crab, but actual bite sized pieces. The country fried steak was perfect texture and delicious, could just have used a bit more gravy, but would order again. The corned beef hash at first made us wonder as it is made with the same shredded potatoes as the hashbrowns, but it was more meat than potato and the corned beef was delicious! Overall great experience from start to finish and...
Read moreElla delivered outstanding service. She taught me about "potato meat" followed with a recommendation to choose the regular fries over the crisscross option. She was satisfyingly correct. The salmon entree was serviceable and utilitarian: tending to over seasoned and cooked to the point of carelessness, it flaked well, but all tenderness was dead and buried. It is nearly identical to every other salmon entree I have been served in the area. Asparagus was well seasoned, but again carelessly cooked and poorly trimmed and selected, leaving coarse stalk ends clinging to lank midsection and soft tips. Wildrice pilaf served as a solid foundation on the plate owing in large part to its clumpy and less than pillows texture. I ate all of the above and happily reminded myself of where I live. The accompanying dinner roll and 3 ozs of slaw are unnecessary on the plate. The slaw is a nice item to remind residents of our fair city that ownership understands...
