A Mom's Guide to Oconomowoc Restaurants
The Pub
Downtown Oconomowoc on Lake Drive
Irish cuisine, pub, & atmosphere.
The Potato Leek soup is to die for.
Shepherd's pie made with whiskey.
Fantastic Irish Soda bread. Casual.
Somewhat Kid Friendly.
Spinnakers on the Lake
Downtown Oconomowoc, West Wisconsin Avenue
The fresh seafood is the best.I recommend whatever
the special is - it's always good. Sit on the porch in
the summer and enjoy the view of Lac La Belle. A
step above Casual but lunches are very Casual.
Family friendly.
Wine Maniacs
East Oconomowoc, off Hwy.16 and
Hwy.P North (Brown St.)
New Owners. Haven't been here since the
change in owners. Used to have great
lunches and dinners! Named after local
lakes. Nashotah Blues is a favorite. Also
the "Crabby" salad- one crab cake (lunch),
two at dinner. Was Casual. Not real
family friendly.
Schwefel's
West Oconomowoc, Old Hwy.16
Authentic German and American
Cuisine. My father's favorite place!
Great charbroiled steaks. Excellent
homemade German food.Casual.
Maxims at the Depot
Trackside Oconomowoc, 2 blocks off 4 corners
turn south on Main St., then left at Collins.
Known for it's great bakery items. Our church's men's
group meets here monthly. American and Greek food.
Great rotisserie chicken. Children's menu. Very
picturesque. Casual. Family friendly.
Weissgerber's Golden Mast
Off Lacy's Lane on Okauchee Lake
Not Casual but Family Friendly.

The ice cream is from Mullen's in Watertown. Exceptional.

The Kiltie Drive-In Custard
One of Oconomowoc's treasures. A true drive-in, open Spring through
Fall. Famous for it's Kiltieburger- a sloppy joe, on the spicy side, that
comes with a dill pickle slice. Their Ice Tea is "sun-made." The onion rings
are real whole onion rings! The custard is to die for. Bonnie Banana
sundae is my vice. And for the kids: an animal circus sundae -kid-sized
with animal cookies. A popular hang out. Very Casual. Very Kid Friendly.
