I stumbled upon this place while searching on Google and I’m so glad I did! The atmosphere is really unique with a great sense of history. It wasn’t overly crowded at the bar, but there was a steady stream of takeout orders — always a good sign! The bartenders were friendly, patient, and attentive, and the food was absolutely outstanding. Even with new cooks in the kitchen, everything came out fast, fresh, and delicious. Highly recommend!

Ive been coming here for years it recently took a turn for the worst. Undercooked food. Staff that dont care about their jobs or customers. I wont be back.

Ive seen the same nasty behaviors as Robert. An alderperson should be keeping their opinions to themselves when it comes to other local businesses. Their words an comments have an impact on how people view the business.

First time at the old Grog but it won't be the last... we had the Sunday chicken dinner which was fantastic.. four big pieces of broasted chicken.. homemade mashed potatoes and gravy obviously homemade stuffing.. chicken was done perfectly ..crispy on the outside and juicy in the middle.. also had one of their cheeseburgers which was done to a perfect medium.. huge Burger overlapd the buttered, toasted bun by about 3 inches all the way around.. the drinks were good the server was friendly ..will definitely be back!

Typical pub, but after waiting awhile a regular had to toss something at the bartender who wasn’t paying attention to anything but her conversation. Not worth a stop if the service is like that. (Night of July 22)

Walked two steps past the door frame and was immediately acknowledged and got a table. Good thing too, the food was amazing. And we watched somebody stand at the door, pout for 30 seconds, and then leave...too funny, sad they missed out though.

Knowing it is a historic place, it's got a LOT of history on the walls & ceilings. The food is fantastic comfort food. Most of our 5 person party had the various fish offered on FRI's, I had grilled Chicken Cordon Blue with coleslaw. Another enjoyed the bacon cheeseburger & fries. We all shared Deep Fried Pickle appetizer's. My chicken was moist, tender & delicious ... the ham was sweet & salty ... the swiss cheese is creamy and a bit tart ... it comes with a mustard spread for you to add how much you want. The pickles have just enough dough to fry up crispy but not overpower. Our server Olivia was efficient, personable & attentive, but not intrusive. We thoroughly enjoyed our night out together.

We were hoping for a good broasted chicken dinner and this one kind of missed the mark. Other reviews seemed okay for us to try. The broasted potatoes were the only saving Grace. They were pretty good

My wife had the haddock and I had the walleye. Both were really good. The fries didn't taste fishy so I believe they used a different fryer and they were excellent. The old fashions were really good as well. Would definitely recommend. Also, the service is incredible, especially Olivia, whoo handled all the tables like the patrons were her best friend — at The Old Grog of Menasha.

Stopped at The Old Grog on a Sunday afternoon. I was in the mood for some good onion rings. I saw in an on line review that this spot had some fabulous rings. Well, the rings weren't special, the order was small and so were the rings. We also ordered the Sunday chicken dinner special. The chicken was not only a great deal, it was delicious. You get chicken, mashed potatoes, stuffing, cranberry sauce and a roll. It was all good, but the chicken itself was some of the best I've had. It was tasty and juicy, cooked to perfection. Staff was busy, but service was excellent and cheerful. Great place, I highly recommend.

Went for fish. It was busy but we didn’t have to wait long. Bartenders and servers were very good.
Only issue I had was that the perch was overdone. The breading was over fried. Crispy as hell but my mouth ended up getting all roughed up (like after eating a bowl of Capn Crunch).
I’ll try it again in a couple weeks.

We will DEFINITELY be back. Amazing food and even more amazing service. The chicken and prime rib sandwiches were the best, and the prices can’t be beat. We had our food on our table within 10 minutes of ordering, even on a Saturday night. Don’t remember our waitress’s name but she was very sweet and informative. Can’t wait to come back for the Friday fish fry!

A local neighborhood bar and grill that we have never been to, and boy it did not disappoint!
I had the steak sandwich and fried mushroom while the wife had the prime rib sandwich (which was the special on Saturday).
The steak sandwich was HUMONGOUS! I had to cut and folded the meat, and it was delicious! Meat was tender, flavorful, and cooked to order, comes with both caramelized and raw onions upon order.
The fried mushroom was pretty standard, but good, nonetheless.
Wife’s prime rib sandwich was really good and juicy! The au jus was Ok. Waffle fries were fresh.
Atmosphere was clean, nice, and cozy; a very typical Wisconsin bar.
It is also very kid friendly! They have kid’s menu (my daughter loves the flatbread pizza) and they also have coloring book to keep her entertained.
Service was quick our server, Jill, was very very nice! She was very attentive, took good care of us, and even brought some cherries for my daughterZ
Highly recommended if you are visiting town.

I was looking for a lunch place in the Appleton area, read the reviews and I can tell by the owner's snarky responses this isn't a place I ever want to visit. Seems he/she just wants to head off complaints/issues at the time of service so nothing bad shows up online. Definitely not a place where the customer is always right. Good luck!

First time here because the reviews said the Friday fish was amazing. Well, we got fish, it tasted fine, but the portions were very small for the price. Even the amount of fries was pathetic. C'mon... fries are cheap, a handful just doesn't cut it.
Servers were great! They paid attention, got drinks, asked the appropriate questions, joked with us... no issues there, very good.

Don't get the Friday fish fry! I saw another reviewer say this place has the worst service in Menasha and I couldn't have put it better myself. I completely stopped going here two years ago after they forgot an item from my food order and made no effort to rectify the issue. My options were to drive 10 minutes back there or go without. I went without. Today in a moment of weakness I tried the Friday fish fry again. I know I should have checked my order before I left but I have never been to a restaurant as incompetent as this one. So imagine my surprise when once again they forgot an item from my order (that I paid for), made no effort to make it right, required me to drive 10 minutes due to their error and by the time I actually got to eat the nastiness they call a fish fry it was cold. At this point I think they're purposefully leaving items out of orders to save money. Based on other reviews, I will eagerly await the owner's response explaining how it's my fault that The Old Grog is utterly incapable of hiring competent employees.
