Scratch-Made Comfort. A Great Pour. A Reason to Stay Awhile.

At Uncle Mike’s Food Emporium, we’re more than a bakery. We’re a full-service restaurant and bar built around comfort food, fresh ingredients, and the kind of atmosphere that makes you want to linger. Whether you’re here for brunch with live music, a Friday fish fry, or cocktails with friends, this is a place to relax, connect, and enjoy.


A Full-Service Restaurant — Built Around Quality

Our kitchen focuses on approachable, made-from-scratch food—the kind you crave and feel good coming back for. You’ll find hearty classics, rotating features, and bakery favorites woven throughout the menu.

What you can expect:

  • Scratch cooking with real ingredients
  • Generous portions & Midwest comfort
  • Bakery-made breads, pastries, and desserts
  • Menus that work for families, groups, and date nights


The Bar — Classic Cocktails, Wisconsin Roots

Our bar is designed to complement the food—not overpower it. From a properly made Old Fashioned to rotating beers and approachable wines, everything is meant to pair well and feel familiar.

Behind the bar you’ll find:

  • Handcrafted cocktails & Wisconsin favorites
  • Friday Old Fashioned specials
  • Beer, wine, and seasonal features
  • A relaxed, welcoming bar atmosphere

Perfect for a casual drink, dinner pairing, or staying for one more round.


Brunch, Buffets & Live Music

Sundays are a big deal here. Our Jammin’ Brunch Buffet pairs bakery favorites, hot entrées, and comfort classics with live music that fills the room without taking over the conversation.

We also host:

  • Weekly and seasonal buffets
  • Live music during select services
  • Special food & drink features tied to events

It’s not just a meal—it’s an experience.


Friday Fish Fry — A Local Favorite

Friday nights mean fish fry. We’re known for it, and for good reason.

  • Hand-breaded fish (perch & haddock)
  • Classic sides done right
  • $5 Old Fashioneds on Fridays
  • Comfortable dining room or bar seating

Come hungry. Stay awhile.


Family-Friendly & Group-Ready

Whether it’s a family dinner, a casual meeting, or a celebration, our restaurant is built to handle it comfortably.

  • Family-friendly dining
  • Group seating available
  • Party room options for gatherings
  • Easygoing atmosphere—no dress code required


Bakery Meets Restaurant

One of the things that makes our restaurant different? The bakery is right here. That means:

  • Fresh desserts made in-house
  • Bakery items worked into menus
  • Coffee, pastries, and sweet finishes you won’t find elsewhere

It’s all part of the same experience.
