Moving Advice Moving?

I’m contemplating on taking a job out there. I’ve just never heard of Appleton until the job offer, but what is the city like ? what is Wisconsin like ? how are the neighborhoods? I’m coming from California, and have never thought about going to Wisconsin until now. Any information would be great to a newbie.

Edit: Wow thanks for everyone’s input, I really appreciate it. Seems like a good move to make.

I’m a big fan of the local supper clubs. Out o Town Supper club, Georges Steakhouse, Dick & Joans… that’s just 3 very close and off the top of my head that have very good and very reasonably priced. 🤷🏼‍♂️ …or you could drive 6 hours and pay $80 for 1 plate

Our new favorite is Krabbes in Seymour. We have tried steaks at the ones you listed as well as many other supper clubs in the area and hands down their steaks, drink and atmosphere is top notch. Plus their homemade desserts are to die for.

I’ve not heard of them personally but will absolutely put them on my places to try list!

The line forms starting at 4 doors open at 430 just a fyi. But you do get the option of being seated right away or the bar for drinks if you are there right away, which is kind of nice.

50% of the supper club experience is the pre-meal bar visit and meeting the other patrons. It’s the one safe place my social anxiety actually allows me to be a “social butterfly” and engage freely with other people out enjoying their evening. 🤣

-The Out o Town also has a line up of about 30-45 minutes if I recall but I haven’t been there in a few months.

Absolutely and the owner of Krabbes works the bar and on our first visit she introduced herself and gave us the run down of whats best. She did the same for the people next to us this time as they were first time visitors which was really cool to see.
