Pat takes on Oshkosh Restaurant Week! With 30 local restaurants participating in the 2025 Restaurant Week event - there are so many creative specials to discover! Check out a few of Pat's reviews here!

Bar 430 in Downtown Oshkosh

430 N Main St, Oshkosh

Pat is discovering Oshkosh Restaurant Week at Bar 430 in Downtown Oshkosh!

“Bar 430 slayed us with 3 courses of awesome-ness! Imagine diving into Seared Scallops w/ Beurre Blanc, eating every bite of a Salmon with Truffle Risotto and Roasted Rainbow Carrots, and then-- Creme Brûlée!”

Pat's Pork Tenderloin with Garlic Mashed Potatoes and Roasted Brussels Sprouts paired perfectly with an on-tap New Belgium 1985 Mango IPA.

“Thanks to the snappy Bar 430 team for an awesome night out!”

La Baja Mexican Restaurant

600 West 9th, Oshkosh

Pat says, “La Baja crushes Restaurant Week with authentic Tijuana-style Mexican food! The Combo Fish Taco lunch—excellent!”

Pat relived his San Diego days with the perfect Rolled Chicken Taquitos + a Modelo Negra! Best part was talking Baja 1000 endurance racing with Axel + Alex!

Game Time Sports Bar

2836 Fond du Lac Rd, Oshkosh

Pat takes on Game Time Sports Bar!

Game Time scores a lunchtime 3-pointer with the Philly Smash Burger! Day 3 of Oshkosh Restaurant Week and Pat is already in the penalty box!

Greg + Bree saved the day with this 1/4 pound burger topped with all the classic Philly toppings. Dawn continues her seafood quest with the Fish and Chips, 4-piece beer battered haddock deep fried to absolute perfection! And the Game Time Fajitas, oye!

You’ll need to visit Game Time to see the Churro Cheesecake, we ate it too fast for pictures!

Fox River Brewing Company

1501 Arboretum Drive, Oshkosh

Spoiler alert! Pat has the Hughes Chocolate Toffee Stout experience of a lifetime!

This was our maiden voyage with FRBC’s Famous Cap'tn Krunch Tenders; now we know why the chicken crossed the road—to get to the 3 amazing dipping sauces! Soup d’Jour was a fun surprise…on our way to incredible Prime Rib and Cajun Fish N Chips. For $29 this is a lot of food, friends!

Pat enjoyed dessert so much that he made his 1st food video: Hughes Chocolate Toffee Stout meet Cannoli and Cheesecake!

Thanks Alaina + Ryan + team for an incredible nite out.

Chester V's

The fun starts at Chester V's before you even get in the door! We discovered this cozy hide-away last year during Oshkosh Restaurant Week; so this year we came for Sunday Brunch, from 9a-2p.

Pat was craving a Smoked Chicken Omelette, and the kitchen staff let Pat play with the 8” grill turner :)  Our fun bartender/server Jordan was creating Mimosa Flights, and we learned that most people like strawberry + raspberry best, because they can have orange anytime!

We love the food at Chester Vs but we love the friendly staff even more.

We’re gonna try and sneak away for lunch this week, we both want to try the Honey Bourbon Brisket Sandwich and the BBQ Pulled Pork Grilled Cheese!

Gabe’s Wisconsin Kitchen & Tavern

Gabe’s Wisconsin Kitchen & Tavern just Made Our Day with their incredible Pear and Blueberry Salad! This was Dawn’s first choice for lunch when the Oshkosh Restaurant Week menu was published, and what a winner! It’s a classic salad, right down to the Maple Praline Vinaigrette! Oshkoshians–this item is only available during Oshkosh Restaurant Week…so giddy-up :)

Gabe’s is a 95% scratch kitchen, which makes for some amazing flavors! Pat devoured the Chopped Cheese Steak Sandwich–made with beer cheese–then washed it down with Lake Louie WNC Badger Club Amber! Boom! When was the last time you had this much fun by 2pm?

Just when you think it can’t get any better, owner Steve and chef Cody completely slay us with Cody’s Caramel Crème Brûlée…... .and Lemon Raspberry Cheesecake!!!! Steve’s retired Mom + Dad come in every week to bake their special recipe homemade cheesecake! Pat loves Gabe's cheesecake :)
