Spanky’s Hideaway

I’ve driven by Spanky’s Hideaway countless times — it’s tucked away among neighborhood homes off County Line Road — but I finally stopped in for dinner today, and wow. I was genuinely blown away.

The barbecue wings were outstanding. These are real wings straight off the grill — no frying — and they were absolutely phenomenal. But what truly stole the show was the French onion soup. I’ve had French onion soup four or five times a year for the past three decades, and without question, this was the best I’ve ever had. Hands down.

It’s worth coming here for the soup alone. The cheese is so generous and perfectly melted that you literally need scissors to cut through it (see the photo — and even that doesn’t do it justice).

I also have to call out our waitress, Ashli. She was fantastic — clearly working incredibly hard, serving what felt like half the restaurant, yet still delivering warm, attentive, and thoughtful service on a very busy night. That kind of effort doesn’t go unnoticed.

Spanky’s is a fun, small, unpretentious spot with incredible food — a true hidden gem in Mequon. Highly recommend.

Great food! Sit wherever and enjoy yourself!
Recommend the seasoned fries and French onion soup. If you do the Mac, get cheddar and pepper jack! Creamy and delicious. Lots of cheese, just as you should get in Wisconsin!
Cute older, brick building. On a Friday night there were plenty of locals and well known patrons. Food was good… Service was ok. Everyone’s been there a while and they obviously like to work together. Just takes away from the service a little.
Great that it is handicap accessible.

Was in the area for work when I stopped in for dinner one night. Very comfortable and welcoming atmosphere between the staff and the other patrons I felt right at home. I liked it so much I stopped in several times during my trip. Every single one of the staff was friendly and personable. Special shout-out to Amanda Kayla Ashli and MJ for making me feel like a friend, it means a lot to a traveller like me when away from home!

We come here fairly often, usually for their excellent wings and burgers. This time we thought we’d try their Friday fish fry. My wife had the pan-fried walleye (huge!) and I had the deep-fried perch (5 generous pieces). Both entrees were delicious. The potato pancakes were a very good side dish, better than a lot of other potato pancakes I’ve had elsewhere. Service was attentive and the price was very reasonable.

So the heavyset woman that was managing the bar. She was incredibly rude not just to myself, but to my wife. We came in at 1 AM long before car close but she was obviously agitated about us arriving. Throwing ice buckets and having a temper tantrum like a child. She did serve us drinks. Mentioned often than because we work in the business “”. We should understand her closing early. Also making mention of how much her tips of were to not up their expectation. I guess so therefore, our quality of service is not a value. The other bartender she does amazing service so I can’t complain at all. I tip based on quality of service, which was extremely extremely poor. I live less than five minutes away, and this would be the bar I would continue to frequent if I wasn’t cussed at by the bartender for showing up.

Super disappointed in spending $60+ and a generous tip totalling $80 for a to-go order today. We are in the area for kiddo’s hockey games. We wanted food but not fast food, in between the games. When we pulled up we realized that it was fairly busy, but not too bad. When we went in, there was a live band and obviously people to watch games. The live band was great. The younger lady washing tables was super sweet and polite. If we had been eating in I would have asked for a new server almost right away. The older lady was kinda grumpy and rude, and seemed irritated that I did not see the regular cheeseburgers, as we needed ours cut in half. We waited longer than I had anticipated for our food so I walked up to pay ahead of time so that we could quick get back to the games. She couldn’t find our ticket on the screen, and found it printed, off to the side. After I finished paying, she said that she was going to package my last meal and have it right out, and she did. We walked out to the car and she came rushing out the back door with our chef salad, it had been forgotten. That’s when things got kinda weird. She then asked us, in a very accusatory way, how many to go boxes we had. She then spent SEVERAL minutes having us open and reopen boxes and looking at her little sheet, AND PUTTING HER FINGER IN MY REUBEN AND OPENING IT UP TO CONFIRM IT WAS A REUBEN. She literally went from touching the screen on the touchscreen for me to check out, pulling out her black order book and checking slips, to opening my reuben multiple times in the parking lot with her bare fingers. We were parked so long in the middle of the way that another customer started honking their horn at us. We did in fact have all our own orders after the salad was brought to the car. Even if we had had an extra box, what was she gonna do with it, hand it out to someone else? The tone she had made me feel like I was being accused of stealing an extra box that wasn’t ours, and the amount of time wasted trying to figure it out was ridiculous. When we got back to the hockey rink my son had little time to eat. The food was well put together and good. There was no ranch for the chef salad but luckily we had some for the sides we had ordered extra. The portions were great. Honestly, the only thing not good about the food was I had to get past the fact that my reuben had been fingered, because there was nothing else for me to eat or time to stop to get something else. I left a fairly generous tip, I will be calling to change.

This is truly a great little hideaway. This was my first visit for a meal at Spanky‘s. We were greeted by a very friendly hostess inside, who honored our requests to sit outside on the patio. A server was with us shortly, and was also very friendly and accommodating. The restaurant has cameras on the patio so you’re never left unattended for too long. Someone is always keeping an eye on you and your table to make sure your needs are met.

We had appetizers and a meal, and both arrived, looking very fresh, full, and appetizing. The drinks were good and fairly priced.
This is a great destination for outdoor dining or indoor to catch your favorite game on TV and visit with the very friendly bartender. Everyone on the patio while we were dining and in the bar when we were watching the remainder of the Brewers game was friendly, outgoing, and no judgments were passed.
This hideaway will definitely be added to our rotation for dinners and entertainment.

Absolutely worst service I have ever had. I have been here many times and this tops every visit. The bartender Ashely had a horrible attitude and said “chop chop” to us as soon as we walked up to the bar. Looked at us like we were garbage. She had a horrible attitude and definitely didn’t want to be there. If she’s working there I definitely don’t ever want to come back. Just had drinks so can’t imagine what ordering food must be like.

Waitress really hustled and had good recommendation of the seasoned fries. The sliders were better than most I’ve had. The buffalo chicken wontons, 2 of the three were good, one of them lacked buffalo sauce oddly. My draft high life was good and cold. Seems like a place for the regulars but I didn’t feel unwelcome
