Emmett's Bar and Grill

Emmett's Bar & Grill is a bar and grill in downtown Appleton known for its flame-broiled burgers, especially the Blues Burger with bleu cheese and the Shroom Burger with sautéed mushrooms and Baby Swiss. Friday fish is the weekly tradition, with haddock, perch, walleye and shrimp served as fry plates, and the menu also covers sandwiches, wraps, baskets, wings and homemade soups.

The kitchen is open Monday through Friday from 2 PM and Saturday from 6 PM, so it runs as an evening spot rather than a daytime lunch place, and it is closed on Sundays. Cold craft beers, mixed drinks and a set of daily specials are part of the draw. The bar sits on North Richmond Street just off College Avenue, and street parking is available nearby.
