Weiners and Cheese are usually a bad mix, but not here at the Brat Stop! Brat in this case is short for Bratwurst, and they have a nice selection. I figured I'd try the Sausage Party (actual name) which was 1/4 of 7 different types of sausages. I felt like a Cannibalistic Snow White eating a part of each Dwarf. I wish the sausages in the sampler were labeled as I was only 100% sure on the Jalapeño Cheddar sausage, which was spicy! I think I had the garlic one identified too, but it could have been the cajun one. I'm not a sausage sommelier (yet) so apologies for not being able to tell. As much as I loved the Brats (and Bratz, but that's a different story), I will say the cheese takes the blue ribbon! I had two versions in the form of Fried Curds and Beer Cheese Soup. Both were excellent in completely different ways. I'd give the Soup the golden star as this liquid gold had the aroma of beer wafting up with each delicious spoonful. I'd probably get some pretzel bites or something which would go nicely with this. The curds were awesome and I just dipped in their golden brown mustard! Nothing special needed. There's also a store with some T-Shirts to remember your trip. Some display some good ol' ribaldry, but it's all good cheesy fun. It's right off the highway if you're traveling between Milwaukee and Chicago (I don't remember which highway). But plop it into your GPS and stop! If you have kids kicking and screaming in the back, tell them this restaurant is for them!

Top tier brats and we loved the BSBLT. The BLT legit has 6 pieces of bacon. A fun atmosphere. Don't leave without trying the fried cheese curds. We stopped in the gift shop on our way out. Don't miss it...it's a slice of Americana. We bought some homemade caramels for the road. The kids loved them.

This is one of my favorite places to visit when we go up to Kenosha or Milwaukee. It's an old-school dive bar/restaurant. They have some great local beers on tap and the service is always good. There is a long winding bar in the center of the room. One of my favorite Meals is the sausage party which is a variety of their brats and sausages with red cabbage and sauerkraut.

We were on our way home from visiting family in Michigan. This was our first time at Brat Stop, but of course we had heard about it. I foolishly had a salad. It was good, but based on my husband's raves about his brat, I probably should have gotten a brat! We bought six frozen Cajun brats to bring home. WOW were they good!!! Very flavorful without being hot. I wish we could order online! Side note, we loved how wherever you sat you'd be able to see the Packer win!

This is a must stop location in WI just over the boarder from IL. It is famous for its cheese curds, their brats, and their concerts! It is an eclectic location that has a bit of everything but they also have live music concerts that can get some pretty big names in here. I have been to several concerts here; the space is smaller and can really ROCK! The food is outstanding WI cuisine... you just can't go wrong with the different options. They also offer a pretty extensive beer and drink menu. This is not for the feint of heart, no vegans here, and you better be ready to party hardy at night time. This is a great location to cut loose, have some good comfort food, that will do nothing for your health, and listen to some choice music! If you're anywhere near this location I highly recommend stopping... it is a true slice of Americana that you just have to experience for yourself.

Our coach was determined we do a team dinner here and I'm so thankful for his recommendation! We ended up going twice - in one day! Wings are very meaty though I wish they had homemade sauce vs jarred. Pizza was delicious, a nice thin crust. They also have games to occupy the kids while you wait for a table and your meal. Can't go wrong with this place if you're coming from out of town.

06/09/24 - We were up @ Holy Hill. On the way back we had to make our obligatory stop @ the Brat Stop in Kenosha. What would a trip be to cheddar land wo/stopping for a Brat & beer @ the Brat Stop. I was w/my wife& brother in law. We all had a brat. I ordered the garlic brat w/German potato salad & a Bluemoon beer. We all ordered the garlic brat. This was very good as was the beer but the German potato salad was good but a little too vinegary for my taste. As usual they were pretty busy. We were kind of pressed for time & our server was a little slow. I had to go up to the front to get my check.

It's been decades since I've been here and I can't recall what I ate then. This time I wanted their cheese curds and their original brat with fries and sauerkraut. The fried cheese curds are made with white, or undyed, cheddar and are breaded just enough to give texture and still allow the cheese to be highlighted. I also got a decent cheese pull from one of the bigger curds. I liked the ranch and marinara. Not among the best I've had but pretty good, and I would get them again. The brat comes from Usingers, and it was great. I liked the seasoning Usingers uses. The bun that the brat was served on was probably the best sausage bun I've ever had. I should have asked which bakery made them. It was fresh and soft with a slight crisp, and it was perfectly sized for the brat to bun ratio. The fries were forgettable. Frozen battered (an unfortunate treatment of potatoes to make fries crispy) and bland fries. I should have tried the tater tots instead. The brat and cheese curds and service from Melissa were enough for 4 stars.

We met some friends at Brat Stop at 2:00 on a Saturday afternoon. We didn't have to wait for a table; we were seated near the stage. Four adults and two adult teens - we ordered Cheese Curds and Mini Italian Beef's as an appetizer. The Mini Italian Beef's were delicious. If I ever make it back to Brat Stop, I am ordering them as my meal. Both my kids ordered the chicken strips - one added fries the other added tots. My husband ordered the 2 Brat Plate, I had the Gobbler wrap with tots. Our friends ordered the Tony Sub and a burger. I also ordered a cheese soup to take home. My son, husband and our friends really enjoyed their meals. Unfortunately, my daughter gets migraines/seizures from flashing lights (there are flashing lights in the stage area) so we ended up having to sit in the car (we had our food boxed up). I had to run in and ask for a bag a few times (if you know, you know); the girl at the hostess stand was SUPER nice. We did eat our food the next day and it was very good. The cheese soup was AMAZING. I am not sure if we will be back... if we do go back, it will be without my teen daughter.
