Spats

Do not skip!! The food is amazing. Loved that the chef came out to chat about g.f. options that I could eat. Everyone LOVED their food. Don't pass this by.
Side note: I just learned brunch is coming 4/1/24!!!!!
And yes, you can make reservations!!!

Whelp, we had to go back to Spats to try some other items. Started out with that amazing bang bang shrimp again! Hubby had the steak Diane which was really really awesome! Those round potatoes were melt in your mouth! The steak was also very good with that very flavorful gravy. I opted for the Bacon cheeseburger with truffle fries. Food seems to be very consistent and amazing! The last time we had the mushroom Swiss burger which was also amazing. Can’t wait to go back again!

We went out for a day late Valentine's dinner on 2/15 and were excited to still be able to order from the Valentine's menu. Living in Appleton almost 20 years this was my first time here and I'm mad I didn't get there sooner! Walked into an intimate bar setting with a nice size bar and booth seating with tables in the back and a separate side room where the bathroom is located. The service was great, were seated right away and shortly after our drinks were ordered. I had a fantastic old fashioned and my wife had a cranberry spritzer both with great flavor and hand crafted. We ordered appetizers right away and had some of the best crab cakes I've eaten and the Brussels sprouts topped with nuts, cheese, bacon and balsamic. We shared everything and it was enough that we had to take a box home with our entrees- miso glaze salmon with veggies and rice and I had the hot brown with fries which were both well flavored, cooked perfectly and came out quickly. Had to get the dessert feature for Valentine's Day- a strawberry chocolate mousse. Price was less than we intended to spend, even with steak options in the $35+ price point, the quality and local ingredients make it well worth it! The server checked back regularly but not over bearing, overall a fantastic restaurant for any occasion! Looking forward to going back soon.

Our server Brit is one of the best servers I've had possibly ever. The drinks were great, hand muddled old fashions. Appetizers were also were top notch. We had the Muscles and Brussel Sprouts. It's a beautiful building with a wonderful atmosphere. I highly recommend this establishment for anything from just drinks to a date night!!!

From out of town. Had the best time. Great food. Super inviting staff. Shout out to Brittany. She was more than accommodating. Even made friends with some locals. Will definitely be back

Great food & welcoming staff! The food here was very good . I had the haddock that was lightly breaded & cooked perfect…..tasty tarter sauce included. My friend absolutely loved the salmon which was served with a light lemon sauce & baby red potatoes . Generous servings . We liked the relaxing atmosphere & comfortable seating . They also have an outdoor patio (spatio) & they have their own free parking lot . Very nice spot to eat .

My wife and I ate here for the 1st time in a while a month ago. Very impressed with the new owners menu. Went back with another couple on Saturday and again, it was very good over. All of us got a steak. 2 of us got the Tenderloin and 2 of us got the Hanger Steak. Great food and great service. Stacey was our bartender and Brit was our waitress. We will be back again for sure!

Food was excellent, service superior and Nick the cook came out to our table to customize my entree for my dairy allergy. I have a severe systemic reaction to dairy and Nick prepared an excellent dairy free “crock o shrimp” . The brussel sprout appetizer was exceptional. I will definitely be back for more fine food and service. Would recommend Spats to everyone.

Pleasantly surprised by Spats! It looks a little old school inside, but the food was soooo good. And I loved the ample parking. Highly recommend.

Pros: THE Meatballs, Truffle Fries, quick seating, easy parking
Cons: the only thing I can even think of was that my drink was nothing special (Pear Fizzle) - still good though!

Follow along on our journey to try a new Fox Valley restaurant every Friday!

Coming in from out of town, we just wanted Perch before we left. Oh my word did Spats deliver! We had the double order of perch, intending to share, and it was a TON of food. Cheese curds, a side salad and a couple beers.... you can NOT go wrong with this place! Local customers were amazingly friendly, like all Wisconsinites. Try the Spats fries! And the ranch! Try everything! Amazing staff, phenomenal food! Thank you Amanda, Bree and Nick! We'll definitely be back!

Heard very good things about Spats before going my first time. We were able to make a reservation for my family (7 and a toddler). They accommodated us and everything went very smoothly. Ordered cheese curds and Brussel sprouts as appetizers. The curds were fantastic and they came with a sauce that I’ve never had before but it was like a ranch/1000 island sauce. Mmmmmmm gooooddd. Brussel sprouts were like no other. 10/10
My main course I had the salmon. Holy Toledo. 20/10.

Bathroom was clean as a whistle.

I look forward to trying everything else on the menu!

The food was amazing the first time we went there! The second time we went on a Friday (our mistake) and most of the menu was fish which neither of us particularly like. Definitely going to be back another night

Typical bar atmosphere. Comfortable and warm. The service was very good. The food was excellent. I would definitely eat here again.

They have absolutely delicious food, never had something that I didn't like. Plus very friendly severs and an excellent bartender! A must stop for great food and drinks!

Great dinner. An unusual veg combination was outstanding. Very good service.

First visit. I enjoyed my visit but didn't think my Reuben was very good. My friend liked there sandwiches. I liked the atmosphere. The value was good.

I stopped here for lunch on a Friday afternoon. The food was very good, I especially liked the brussel sprout appetizer. I would say the service was, frantic? They had one poor woman working the Friday rush. She truly did her best serving the bar, dining room and patio but she just couldn't keep up! Nor should she have to! Management needs to staff better or help serve themselves if staffing is that bad.

Stopped for a fish fry. Excellent food and service.
Five star all the way.

I've love eating here with family and friends, but today was the first time using their catering option. The food was fantastic and service was great (walked the delivery through our building to the conference room where our group was stationed not just dropping at the front desk like other caterers we've used in the past). We often bring in customers in to visit our facility from out of town and we will happily choose Spats again to be able to offer our customers a higher quality meal than a fast food chain they probably have back home. Nick mentioned that they're open to providing a custom catering menu as well, not just what is listed on the site (like a catered sushi buffet). I will definitely be choosing them again to cater an event for not only GOOD food but to also bring a variety to our staff/customers.

We got dinner at Spats tonight and were very impressed! We walked in and were met with a very friendly hostess who seated us right away. Our server, whose name I cannot remember, had only been there for a couple of days was extremely friendly and acted like she had worked there for years.
We ordered a couple (ok, several) Brandy Sours and they were perfect and quick to get to our table. Nice touch with the pickled Brussels sprouts! Within only a couple of minutes our clam chowder and lobster bisque were brought to our table and both were excellent! My 9 year old daughter wanted to get another bowl of the clam chowder it was so good.
The seafood platter and bluegill were both spot on. Light, flaky, hot, and not at all greasy.
I also was very impressed at how reasonable the prices were.

To the whole Spats crew: you guys nailed it tonight. Keep up the good work. You guys have an awesome operation going on.
