Jerry's - Oshkosh

I think I came here 20 years ago, with a friend. Stopped in today, because it got good reviews and because it wasn't super busy on a very busy Saturday airshow night. Far enough off the beaten path. Service was good. Very friendly, made good suggestions, stayed right on top of drink refills. I was super thirsty so they had to fill it a lot. They have a special summer menu and I almost ordered something off there, but something on the main menu look good. Lots of burgers and steaks and things, but I wanted something a little lighter, so I went with the shrimp salad. Sautéed shrimp and mushrooms, plus cheese, over lettuce and tomatoes. So, not much lighter, but a little bit. And it came with garlic bread and a peppercorn dipping sauce. Everything was very good. The shrimp were big and tender and flavorful, the tomatoes were marinated and tasty, the mushrooms were good- and I am picky about them- and everything went together, well. Price was reasonable for the quantity and quality. The place isn't super big, but there's a decent dining area, plus a bar where you can also eat, and some outdoor dining. It was nice, I remember it being nice before, and maybe my friend's favorite restaurant, and I can see why.

A great little place. We got here early so we picked a seat. By the time we left they were packed though. The sandwich was very good. Everything was very good (except the Apple salad but that's my taste). The salads are generous. If you're a salad person you should get one here. The strawberry short cake is delicious and large... share that one. The Apple salad is apples with Mayo, I just wouldn't get that again but apparently it's a traditional dish. All in all a great restaurant to check out in Oshkosh and a short drive from the campus.

Ambiance very nice, food I don't know as we walked out because my sister and I were rudely treated by a tall blonde bartender. We waited to seated and blonde bartender directed us to the high tables and stools. I explained I can't sit on them as they are to high for me as I am handicapped n walk with a cane. Mind you no one was waiting to be seated, and I saw four regular open tables in the dining room. She said well can't help you then. I was so mad because my sister was just told she has cancer and told her we would go to the Chalice lunch and have a nice quiet chat on what our next steps would be. Never again!!!

Love the Chalice, you can order some menu items lunch size or dinner size, but even the lunch size is enough. We have dined outside as well as inside and it is definitely one of my fave places. The haddock with brocolli and fried potatoes is so good, and so is everything else.

This is a wonderful restaurant. Warm and friendly. Food is always consistently great. Specials and summer menus a real bonus. Highly recommend.
