St Brendan's Inn Green Bay WI

St Brendan's Inn Green Bay WI Found this gem buy fate. Booked a room at the quality Inn Green Bay on washington Ave. Wanted to get something to eat, the front desk guy was new and only heard that the 2 pubs across the street were good but had never been there. I walked out the door turned to the left then the right the St Brendan on the right is a great looking Irish pub from the out side and the inside is even better. It looked like the kitchen was closed and it was (closes after 9 pm) BUT "we do have Irish stew until midnight" OK am in. The best Irish stew ever. Brought in a giant bowl with a heap of real mashed potatoes in the center, huge chunks of beef and vegie's. I was glad i didn't have a choice because I would not have picked this off the great Irish menu. I didn't think there was any place but Curlys pub at Lambo field and a million small bars to go to in Green bay. This is the greatest. I had an Irish Coffee for desert it was near perfect only thing wrong was it was made with wiped cream from the can not fresh. I will be back to this Island of a pub along the river in Green bay

Zippy's BBQ Cedar Falls IA

Zippys small building but mighty good ribs and brisket. Cooked in a stone pit smoker just out side the door.

Stacks of smoking wood stand along side the small fast food looking building. They have a drive up window and setting for maybe 4. the ribs and the service is the best I have ever had. If your in the Waterloo Cedar Falls IA area you need to get to Zippy's you will enjoy every thing on the menu. Located just South of down town Cedar Falls on 2010 Main street just stick you head out the window and follow your nose. I ordered to go and had them in my hotel!
