Sorry in advance for the negative review. Went to Houdinis for lunch today. Ive always loved their dinner, figured lunch would be just as wonderful. I was wrong. Ordered this: Wisconsin Benedict shaved sirloin | sauteed onion & mushroom | spinach | cheddar | two fried eggs | truffle mornay | sourdough | potatoes & toast Asked for no mushrooms, no luck cuz theyre already mixed in with the onions. Came out with runny eggs, I had to send it back cuz I think sunny side up is gross. She said thats how they come unless you specify. In my opinion, if it says fried egg, you should ask how you want it fried, not assume. They remade the eggs, added MORE mornay on top so now I couldnt see if they were done, and everything was way oversalted, including the potatoes. We never got water, and had no idea there was a special because she neglected to tell us that as well. Ill stick to their dinners- lesson learned the hard way :/

Mothers Day is around the corner and I am curious of which restaurants take reservations for 10+ people in the area, beyond that buffet with great food???? It may be a loaded question

I just saw this on line at the Post Crescent. Reader question: I was wondering if you know what is happening with the former Chinese buffet building at the corner of Oneida Street and Calumet? Weve noticed lights on inside and the for lease sign is gone. Yesterday there was a giant dumpster outside. Answer: The building at 1919 S. Oneida Street in Appleton is becoming Emperors Buffet & Grille. The buildings new owners are Shawn Chen and his brother-in-law Long Zhao. Both currently operate other restaurants. Chen has owned the Emperors Buffet in Shawano for more than 10 years. Zhao has operated the Hong Kong Buffet in Escanaba, Michigan for more than 15 years. It is not related to the Hong Kong Buffets in Neenah and Kimberly.

Rt now I am at apple city family restaurant…. The waitress we have is horrible… Never got our drinks, we just ordered 2 minutes later my friend got her food… Not sure if it is even hers. How is that even possible. Im still waiting for mine. She brought something to me that wasnt even what I ordered. She took it back and I am still waiting. Finally got my food. My friend is almost done and she had an omlet, hash browns, raisen toast. I only got a sandwich and fries. Must say though she keeps bringing me cofee… She hasnt asked how our food is….oh and I figured who also was suppose to be getting coffee…. The lady behind me is still waiting for hers. She brought us our bill and asked how everything was. The busser has hickys all over his neck. This is the first time I have been at this restaurant. Not sure if I will be back.

Had dinner at Northland Ave Pub tonight. First and last time. Service was ridiculous, food was atrocious. My husband and I had the Friday fish. He had the perch, which he could barely eat because there were so many bones. I understand perch is a bony fish, but this was unreal. The battered haddock was so salty. We both ordered tartar with it, which we had to ask for twice. The waitress stated they were out and making more, but then watched her take a bottle off of a table who was leaving and throw it on our table and walk away. After asking for refills (after we choked down our meals without anything to drink because the waitress never returned) we waited so long that we decided to pay at the bar and leave. Definitely will not be returning. Every moment of our experience was terrible!!
