Burger of The Month for January:
Cheese Steak

Motor restaurant

Serving lunch and dinner. Motor offers a menu of bold American classics that celebrate the discoveries of the open road. The Road House Chili tastes exactly like it does in the diners of Texas, there are hints of Little Rock in the smoked BBQ ribs, and of course, the menu features Wisconsin favorites like the Fish Fry, the Booyah Stew and Milwaukee's best sausage and cheese. While the food is designed for triggering memories, the space is designed for sharing them. Communal tables and a horseshoe-shaped bar make every seat a perfect spot for starting conversations, either with an old friend, or the new friend one seat over.

Motor now has FREE shuffleboard every day. Stop down & check out the new custom Harley-Davidson shuffleboard game!
