Green Bay is pure Midwest—blue-collar, football-crazy, full of proud traditions and surprising flavors.
From lakeside perch fries to immigrant-rooted comfort, every meal here starts with a friendly smile and finishes with a full belly.
Kroll’s West
An institution (and a pilgrimage for visiting Packers fans), Kroll’s West serves up burgers the Green Bay way: char-grilled patties on soft buns, topped with butter and American cheese, alongside crinkle-cut fries and root beer.
The dark-paneled interior, sports memorabilia, and family-run vibe make it a local staple.
On Sundays, the parking lot is tailgate heaven—bratwurst and beer at the heart of Wisconsin hospitality.
Plae Bistro
Plae is where locals go for a date night or to celebrate—a sleek, contemporary bistro on the west side.
The menu blends New American creativity and Wisconsin tradition: cherry pork tenderloin, seafood risotto, perfectly grilled steaks, and creative salads showcasing local produce.
Craft cocktails and a big wine list round out a meal in a stylish, lively atmosphere.
Rustique Pizzeria
Nestled in a former chapel, Rustique is as much an experience as a meal.
The wood-fired pizzas are chewy and blistered, adorned with toppings like house-cured bacon, garlic, goat cheese, arugula, and Roquefort.
The open kitchen and stained glass windows evoke cozy community, and desserts (like the salted caramel cheesecake) are as much a draw as the pizza.
Los Banditos
One of Green Bay’s best for Mexican food, Los Banditos fills its colorful rooms every night with families, students, and friends sharing spicy enchiladas, carnitas tacos, and famously tangy margaritas.
Try the chorizo-stuffed chile relleno or the classic Bandito Burrito, finishing with fried ice cream.
Service is quick, portions are massive, and the vibe is pure Wisconsin fun.
Angelina Restaurant
The city’s finest Italian, Angelina’s is homey and romantic—red-checkered tablecloths, walls crowded with family photos, the scent of simmered tomatoes and garlic.
Handmade ravioli, osso buco, and thin-cut veal are delivered by nonnas in the kitchen.
The tiramisu and espresso at meal’s end seal the deal.
