Come here for the soup! Check out the fun airplane vintage hanging about in honor of "Queen of the Air" Amelia Earhart. The service was top notch with our server offering some recommendations before we ordered and going above and beyond making sure we were well taken care of throughout our meal. We also ordered the onion strings which were so tasty, the patty melt, also top notch, and the club sandwich, flavors packed a punch, everything was so fresh. I think this business does a lot of carry out for the area because they seemed very busy! Come check it out. They have all sorts of great specials during the week and for Brewers games and Packers games!
This restaurant has always been a classic restaurant in Oconomowoc; they have always had the most amazing stuffed French toast! Their customer service is always above and beyond. Troy was so helpful today and we cannot thank him enough! They also are one of the few places in oconomowoc with a handicapped bathroom. Thank you again!
This was my first time to Amelia's! Came here on a random whim because it was in the area and we hadn't tried it! The PLACE (iykyk) had a variety of options; tacos (it was taco night in a Monday night; $1 tacos), burgers, pasta and pizza. I ended up getting a blooming onion and a pizza. Both pretty good but nothing to brag about. I enjoyed both and that's what really matters. I think Amelia's is a good stop for anyone who's having a hard time picking what they might be in the mood for. Service was very friendly. Our waitress seemed new, but it wasn't anything that caused issues. There is parking, which is convenient. There is outdoor seating but it seemed closed down that night; but the weather wasn't the best, it had rained earlier in the day. But it's there! :) Ambiance is kitschy pub casual and I suppose in honor of Amelia Earhart there were lots of plane decor!
I stopped here on Sunday to catch the Amelias 29th annual car show and have a beer lunch. The show was so packed with cars that they spilled out into the streets and no way I'm getting my car in so I would not enter this one and just be a spectator today. The car show had a nice assortment of classic cars and very little modern cars, not that I don't like modern cars but you see them on the streets all the time where the classics are rare to see. The cars were all styles from stock to race cars and everything in between in various conditions. Well my bar beer lunch idea faded pretty fast when I walked in because every spot at the bar full. As you walk in the bar is on the right with the dining room to the left and I didn't want to do the dining room and I wanted a bar spot. This was my first bar/restaurant car show where I could not get a seat at the bar so that will have to wait for another day.
