It’s walking in the door and seeing someone nitty gritty, the sneak peeks, the fun details, and that all- important feel of these classic, time-honored eateries. So, ladies and gentlemen — dig in! What better place to start things off than in the heart of downtown Waupaca? I’m talking about a true classic: Simpson’s Restaurant. Since the early 1930s, the Simpson family has been serving up classic supper club fare as well as their own dishes with a unique twist that makes them truly famous. We’ll get back the food later, but for now, let’s spend an evening enjoying all of what Simpson’s has to offer. The experience begins when you enter the warm and welcoming bar area complete with rustic timber ceiling beams, a classic curvy bar, and pleasant carpeting underfoot. The acoustics keep the noise level just right; you’ll know the place is buzzing with BROILED HADDOCK happy patrons, yet you can have a conversation with In our special butter the person next to you without shouting.
