An interesting spot which makes it a place to stop and try at least once! The outside doesn't look like much, but the inside is huge, with tons of seating on two floors. There is huge bar with lots of on-tap options, along with a full bar. Multiple screens make this a good spot to watch a game, plus there is video gambling, pinball and other games. The Brat Stop offers live music, trivia night, moonshine tastings, volleyball, golf and pinball leagues, cheese shop, banquet hall, take out menu and a variety of events that serve and benefit the community.
While this is not a fancy establishment by any stretch, in fact it's a bit outdated, it is a fun atmosphere and family friendly. We stopped in on a Sunday night, and it was not busy at all. We opted to sit at the bar, and while it took a minute to be noticed, when we were the service was good. My husband and I both ordered the "Smoooookin'" brat. He had his with tots and coleslaw and I ordered fries and sauerkraut. The brats were very good, with a nice char, both the tots and fries were hot and crispy, the coleslaw had a great consistency and good flavor, and the saurekraut was truly the best I've ever had. When I asked our server about it, commenting that it didn't taste like it came out of a jar, she told me that the restaurant orders their kraut but finishes it in house. This is most likely why it was crisp and not soggy and tangy but not sour.
If you're passing through, The Brat Stop is a conveniently easy-on/easy-off place to grab a beer and a brat. It's an experience!
