Home Burger Bar

​I have revised my original review; I felt it was necessary. Both my friend and I stopped here for lunch because we had heard good things about their burgers. Unfortunately, both of us were very disappointed. The menu claims that the burgers are 1/3 pound, but they are maybe 1/4 at best; I would compare them more to smash patties. Both of us ordered medium burgers and they both came out well done. The burgers were low-quality frozen patties; unseasoned and flavorless. Most other places that serve good burgers in Appleton use fresh hamburgers. Apparently, this place can't be bothered, they can't afford it, or they simply don't care. Our other biggest complaint would be that they don't include a side with their burgers; fries are not very expensive and, at the very least, they should be an included side. The owner, a very mean and disrespectful woman, said most of their customers don't want a side, so they don't include a side because they don't want to waste food. How exactly are they wasting food if they include a side for those who want a side and withhold a side for those who don't? At least include fries as a side option for those who want them; nothing is wasted. Her reasoning for not including a side makes absolutely no sense. let's be honest, they don't include a side because they want to charge you more money. $11 for a frozen burger with no side is ridiculous. I ordered the Beer Dip Badger burger; smashed fried cheese curds, homemade spotted cow beer dip, crispy onion strips, and a pretzel bun. The toppings I received were minimal; three very small onion strips, a few smashed cheese curds, and a sauce that tasted like store-bought thousand island dressings. I was unimpressed. The owner responded to my original review, as I'm sure she will respond to this one, and was extremely hostile and insulting. She basically told me I had no taste and that she was okay with me not being a future customer; the audacity that I would leave a review saying that I did not like my burger. How dare I. She claimed that her burgers were not your average run-of-the-mill burgers and "Look at all the toppings you received", as if toppings are what make a quality burger. I can name a dozen other burger joints in Appleton that have better burgers than the one I had here. I think she is a little full of herself. I had no plans to ever return, but after dealing with the owner, I wouldn't even consider returning. I will, however, make it a point to let everyone I know or meet in the future not to eat here. And P.S. I love Culver's. They have better burgers than this place does.

I really wanted to like this place, but the experience was disappointing. We were told the food would take about 30–35 minutes. After ordering at 7pm, we didn’t get our food until around 8:35pm. When I asked about the delay, the bartender admitted she had been wrong about the wait time — then proceeded to “explain how a grill works” to me because their grill is small. The explanation came off as condescending and unnecessary. While she did comp our drinks, that didn’t make up for the poor communication and long wait. If we’d been given an honest estimate upfront, we would have gone somewhere else. Transparency and respect go a long way — unfortunately, we didn’t feel either here. They were able to put our food to-go as requested. Unfortunately I had to ask the status of our food after the 1 hour 20 mark. Picture for reference of our cold, mediocre food that we waiting almost triple the original wait time.

Home Burger Bar is a cool place that slings inventive burgers in addition to the basics. They do the same thing with hot dogs, too. Can't wait to try another. If you try one as well, I'm pretty sure what you'll say, "Now, that's a tasty burger..." Bomb curds and friendly folks, too.

Creative flair for old time classics. Too many to describe. But the daily special garlic was delicious. Maple cream cheese with my fries was a good surprise. Good music but couldn't hear it too much over the crowd. I will be back maybe after a show next door.

The overall experience was great! The Garlic cheese curds were tasty. I loved the sweet potato fries and my burger was excellent. The service was really good as was the atmosphere. Can't wait to go back!

Home Burger is a nice bar and grill with delicious food and beer options. The Yunegling burger was a delicious and unique option to Wisconsinites.

The food was outstanding. The best burgers I have had in Appleton. The French Onion Burger was great! Great cocktail and beer selection. When you realize that the entire place is run by three people hustling like crazy you can truly appreciate the good service. Also the cleanest bathrooms I have seen in a local pub. I will absolutely go here again to satisfy my need for a good burger!

I only had a snack and a drink but the vibe was great, service was good. Very pleasant experience. I'll be back because I looked at the menu and all the burger options are enticing! I want to try them all now.
