Cedarburg dining guide




Note: The contents of this guide were checked for accuracy when this article was updated on Sept. 1, 2009 at 8:13 a.m. We continually update the thousands of articles on OnMilwaukee.com, but it's possible some details, specials and offers may have changed. As always, we recommend you call first if you have specific questions for the businesses mentioned in the guide.


Cedarburg's dining landscape is ever-expanding and while you'll still find your fair share of small bar-and-grill places or classic supper clubs, new, contemporary and ethnically diverse restaurants like The Hub are popping up, especially in charming downtown.

Here is an updated account of what our neighbor to the north is bringing to the dining table. While this list doesn't cover every last eatery, it includes the newcomers as well as several perennial favorites.

Anvil Pub & Grille
N70W6340 Bridge Rd., (262) 376-2163

anvilpubandgrille.com
If you're spending the day at the Shops of Cedar Creek Settlement, an historic stone woolen mill dating back to 1864 that has been converted into shops and eateries, a meal and / or a pint of specialty beer at the Anvil Pub & Grille is a must. Hot sandwiches just taste better from a stone hearth oven.

August Weber Haus
W63 N678 Washington Ave., (262) 618-4453

Specializing in several kinds of fondue, this cozy, upscale Cedarburg nook also serves soups and salads. It's open for dinner seven days a week.

Cedarburg Family Restaurant and Pollo Loco Lounge
W61N514 Washington Ave., (262) 387-4992

Though the name is similar, this locally-owned restaurant is not a part of the national chain El Pollo Loco. Done in typical "family-style," this place has it all, from steak dinner to low-carb and low-sodium choices.

Chocolate Factory Subs & Ice Cream
W70 W6340 Bridge Rd., (262) 377-8877

Located in the heart of downtown, this famous sub shop delights with specialties like croissant sandwiches, and tops off the experience with Blommer's Homemade Wisconsin Ice Cream.

Cream and Crepe Café
N70 W6340 Bridge Rd., (262) 377-0900

The tempting aromas wafting from this café, which is also located within the Cedar Creek Settlement, make it difficult to resist. Crepes are the stars here and there are many selections, all named after quilt patterns. Don't forget to leave room for the dessert varieties.

Galioto's Vintage Grille
1221 Wauwatosa Rd., (262) 377-808
5
It's all classic cuisines here, and chef Dave Galioto is especially known for his pork specials. But, the steak, chicken, veal and seafood dishes are nothing to complain about either. Closed Mondays.

Jalisco Restaurant
W26N146 Washington Ave., (262) 377-8858

Jalisco dishes up fabulous Mexican dishes at low prices in the heart of downtown Cedarburg. It also features live music on weekends.

Morton's Wiscons Inn
N56 W6339 Center St., (262) 377-4779

Hailed as a place for drinks and some good eats by the locals, Morton's features full-service tavern dining. On the menu is such hearty cuisine as steaks, seafood and Mexican specials. Don't miss out on the famous Surf n' Turf Bloody Mary served with shrimp and kippered beef. Morton's has, "good food, good drinks and good people," says co-owner Chris Morton.

Rich's Restaurant
W63n144 Washington Ave., (262) 377-4188

Friday night has this place hopping with its famous fish fry, featuring breaded cod and your choice of French fries, German potato salad or potato pancakes with cole slaw and rye bread. Vegetarians, they also have a ¼-lb. veggie burger.

Road House Bar & Grill
1302 Washington Ave., (262) 387-0399

Formerly Barrington's, the space was transformed years ago into a more modern bar and grill serving up good bar food -- burgers, wings, chicken and, of course, beer.

Settler's Inn Restaurant & Inn
W63 N657 Washington Ave., (262) 377-4466

Homemade pie, anyone? It's been praised for years. But if you're looking to fill up on a real meal before getting to dessert, the deli-style sandwiches are great as are meaty selections from the grill.

The Farmstead
W62 N238 Washington Ave., (262) 375-2655

Housed in a charmingly rustic yet refined antique farmhouse, the Farmstead offers house specials of garlic smashed black Angus, homemade soups, steak and fish selections of the day and twists on the old and ordinary that sometimes create extraordinary dishes. Steaks, fish, ribs and chicken are cooked behind the bar over a matchbox-sized open grill for all to see and smell while waiting for a table.

The Hub
W63 N631 Washington St., (262) 618-4751

thehubserveitup.com
The Hub is a new addition to the neighborhood. It's a charming smoothie bar and café, featuring food that leans toward healthy but doesn't skimp on flavor. Highlights are panini sandwiches, hot dogs, soups, salads and bubble tea.

Tomaso's Italian American
W68 N688 Washington Ave., (262) 377-7630

Tomaso's has been serving up old-world recipes for about 30 years. It is famous for its pizza and has recently expanded its menu to include some impressive gelato.

Wayne's Drive-In
1331 Covered Bridge Rd., (262) 375-9999

With roller-skating carhops ready to take your order, Wayne's does retro right at this classic diner. Come hungry for charbroiled burgers, salty fries and thick, creamy malts. It's all-American, all the time here. We suggest the Big Wayne Burger.

The Hub / Serve It Up Try the fresh soft-serve frozen yogurt (with probiotics) made on site daily. The exotic flavors rotate daily. Also, the tzatziki sauce on the gyros at The Hub is homemade. They 'serve it up so you don't have to'.
