Amelia's Bar & Restaurant

We stopped on for Friday night fish fry. Now, if you want to survive in Wisconsin as a place to get food, you have to have a Friday night fish fry, or you will close abruptly, I ordered the cod the cod, and it came out piping hot, crisp, and crunchy; the fish was perfect, the service was spot on and fast if you are near the airport I suggest you stop on by

We went there yesterday. There were two sets of doors. The first door we went through reeked of cigarettes. When we entered I noticed they still have the same carpet that was there when I was a kid. Having carpet in a bar is dumb because that old spilled alcohol lingers in the air and it's hard to eat while smelling funk. It was a Saturday night and dead. The bartenders were playing a variety of music and but had the volume up WAY too loud. Can't really rate the food. It had no flavor and was undercooked. Our appetizer came out first. We ordered the blooming onion. It was raw, hard, crunchy onion with the middle missing. We sent it back. It came back cold after we were served our main course. My son's sandwich had no flavor what so ever. I've worked in the food industry for a long time. First sight is so important. If it looks terrible it'll probably be terrible. Many years ago their food was amazing. So this was a big disappointment. And a lot of business's would do anything for a great location. You are right across the street from the airport. PLEASE fix this place up or sell it to someone that can. Our waitress was AWESOME She definitely gets 5 stars! Sorry to be so harsh but this place definitely needs some improvement.

Although Amelia's has nice old airplane decor, the rest is a bit out dated. The lighting is kept very dark, with too bright, single bulb, lamps hanging in the center of the tables. It was a bit rough on the eyes going from dark, to bright light throughout dinner. I called ahead to be sure they weren't going to be crowded as I know some nights they have karaoke. We just wanted a quiet spot to have dinner and chat. There other several other tables with people, and a number out on the patio, and at the bar. But they spaced people well so it was a nice and quiet for conversation. Our server was excellent. She was friendly and knowledgeable, knew a lot of the regulars, and stayed out on the floor when not getting food from the kitchen. I order a cup of clam chowder but she didn't want to serve it to me because there wasn't much left and she didn't want to be scraping the pot. THAT I appreciate. The food was standard bar fare, nothing fancy or special. Don't get me wrong it certainly wasn't bad. I ordered the French Dip and the au jus was a very tasty accompaniment. There could have been more actual roast beef on the sandwich, but it was still good. And they have tater tots. I know it seems like such a small thing, but sometimes I just don't want my potatoes in fry format. Everyone ordered different things and no one had any criticisms, but also no raves either. Standard fare for a casual night out in a neighborhood bar.

Amelia‘s bar and restaurant is a Gem! We were honestly trying to get a burger from night owl, but came too late for that, and Amelia’s became our “plan B”… and I am glad for that, because it was terrific! The inside is kind of funky, a real, low-key fun, place local place good place… A place where perhaps everybody could know your name… But even if they didn’t, they would treat you well, and you would order some great food and have a great time Our waitress (Katie) was awesome, so friendly and so helpful and attentive. She gave us good recommendations and we followed them. Interestingly, at the table next to us was a couple who self describe themselves as “regulars”… Greg and Janet… they did seem to be regular because they ordered regular. They ordered plenty and the other two to go. We had the breakfast burger, and a “bomber” … the breakfast burger was very good… the bomber was out of this world a pork sausage sandwich with red sauce, and mozzarella a really good Bread! Somehow they managed to get the perfect ratio of marinara and mozzarella make my bomber a flavor bomb while still having everything stay together perfectly it was divine We also ordered a small order of haystack onions (Delish)… and chose coleslaw and potato salad as our sides. Both were excellent… “As good as my grandma made”.… And I have to say Amelias has the best potato salad I have ever had in the restaurant setting… Possibly anywhere home or restaurant it was spectacular. We were about to roll out full and happy… When we were made aware that they have a fried ice cream dessert, a lovely, homemade tortilla fried with cinnamon sugar, and a beautiful serving of cold, vanilla ice cream topped with honey. I am not a big fan of sweets, but this was really really good. One day I will get my night owl burger… But today I have no regrets and feel no loss and have a missed a night owl,burger to, instead have Amelia’s bomber!

All good! My daughter and I had a nice time on a Monday. The other patrons were friendly, the bartender was nice and the food was good. Note, they do Mexican Monday, not Taco Tuesday.

Had a great time! Came here after watching a movie, and despite it being quite late (nearly 10, they close kitchens at 11) the Steakhouse burger and house chips I got were very tasty, and large in portion. I had enough chips to take home and snack on the next day, and they remained crunchy. Amazing for the price!

Went for friday fish fry. Food was ok but not that great. Our server was not too friendly and inattentive. I would go back and give it another chance tho and try something else . The booth was great and the airplane decor was cool!

I have lived in Racine since 2019. Just recently saw this on Goo-maps and just desired something lite and different. It was Taco Monday, so I definitely wanted to roll the dice, and it was so worth it. Atmosphere - so unique. Half museum/Half pub. We're else can you sit and eat under a ceiling hung plane ? Food- we had the appetizer portion two tacos with seasoned chips. The dipping sauce was perfect, but the seasoning on the pork meat was beyond flavor. A cross between Red Hots and salsa sweet with the touch of pineapple. Perfect for just throwing into the gut. So simple yet incredibly tasty.
