Started with the onion chips and dip and a rum based cocktail. Also sampled their Moscow mule slushie, which was really good.

Had the chicken sandwich with a side of red pepper soup and left full and happy. The potato chip crust on the chicken was phenomenal.

Our favorite Sporkie dish was the deep fried apple pie from Saz’s and the worst was the Wisconsin Quesadilla.

Of course the best and last dish was some delicious WI sweet corn 🌽

The pigs in a blanket took us back to our childhood.

Second dish was lobster pasta 🦞 🍝 enjoyed by my partner.

I enjoyed their Edison burger, which may become a top 5 burger 🍔

Can’t wait to go back to try the “Edison Hero” which was out that night and also their brunch.
