Reviews
⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5 — Bob Elz
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.
⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5 — Brittany Leach
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.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Trevor Groves
Had bbq wings, & a big blt sandwich with homemade potato chips, local root beer (Berghoff), toffee tasting cake with whipped cream . My mom & I watched Brewers baseball, Vikings vs Bears football on TV. Will come back on another Wisconsin trip.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Chad Emch
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!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Ted Hertel
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.

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.
