Patio at Second Salem Brewing Company is open for business!
Big beer
Second Salem Brewing Company, 111 W. Whitewater St., Whitewater
Not just big pretzels (though they are very good); Second Salem is also home to Greek nachos and hoppy IPAs.
Seasonal surprises
Cow & Quince, 407 2nd St., New Glarus
Biscuits and gravy or scrambler of the day are good bets at breakfast, but look for straight-from-the-fields vegetables in dishes like the current menu’s beet salad as the growing season progresses.
Sit down already
Jordandal Cookhouse, 600 W. Verona Ave., Verona
This farm-based formerly takeout-only spot now has a dining room. Look for brisket, meatloaf, ribs and the Friday fish fry of wild-caught cod.
