7 Wildly Unique Wisconsin Eats Under $20 That’ll Blow Your Mind
Wisconsin’s food scene is way more than cheese curds and brats, but you can still score those for cheap if you know where to look. For anyone watching their wallet, here’s a trick: hit up local diners and supper clubs during lunch hours—menus are usually almost half the price compared to dinner, and portions are still generous. In Madison, check out Graze for their Scotch egg or the famous bibimbap, both under $20. Milwaukee’s Vanguard does wild sausages (think duck BLT or Thai Breaker) for less than $15 a plate. In La Crosse, Buzzard Billy’s alligator tacos are something you don’t see every day, and they’re under $12. Green Bay’s Al’s Hamburger Shop has a peanut butter burger that’s weirdly good and won’t break the bank. Even Door County has Wild Tomato Pizza, where you can split a wood-fired pie for under $20. If you’re near Eau Claire, The Informalist’s kimchi fries are a must.
If you’re really pinching pennies, try buying day-old bakery bread or produce from local markets—still fresh, but way cheaper. Stretching a dollar in Wisconsin isn’t hard if you’re willing to try something new and maybe a little out there.
