Uncle Mike's Hwy Pub

South of the Boarder Burger (jalepenos, bacon, pepper jack)
Raise your hand if you love road trips. Yup.

Raise your hand if you love road trips and you love to stop at roadside bars, grills and diners. Hell yup.

Well, the Fiend had the distinct pleasure of visiting Uncle Mike’s Hwy Pub this past weekend, in Kenosa, WI, and I truly believe these are the type of experiences that make life worthwhile.

The burger was damn good – hand pattied, quality beef, excellent seasoning, cooked to order – and there was multiple selections with great toppings and all very, very reasonably priced. Oh yeah...and an amazing atmosphere with more than 250 beers. Yeah. In Kenosha!?!

And like the burger, the wings were big and meaty and Uncle Mike’s special sauce is damn good. The Fiend found himself dipping his burger and killer waffle fries in the remaining reservoir o’ sauce.

So while the idea of stopping at a roadside diner or bar can often scoffed at by many as lowbrow cuisine, I typically look that adversity in the face and say: “Good. GOOD. More for you and me.”

Never underestimate the power of a good ol’ greasespoon meal. Smile from ear to ear, baby.
