“Best Eats”

Ella’s Deli, which is both pretty good and very bizarre! http://www.ellas-deli.com/index.php — John & Barb Sellers

Quivey’s Grove, consists of two restaurant buildings; one is the ‘Stone House’, and the other the ‘Stable Grill’. Both buildings are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The history is on their website. The setting and buildings are unique, and we have found the food to be consistently great. Located in Fitchburg, WI, just south of Madison. http://www.quiveysgrove.com/ — Patti & Dennis Thayer
