Mouthwatering rack of ribs served up at Motor® restaurantMotor restaurant

Serving lunch and dinner. Motor offers a menu of bold American classics that celebrate the discoveries of the open road. The peach cobbler looks and tastes exactly like it does in the roadside diners of Georgia, there are hints of Little Rock in the smoked BBQ ribs, and of course, the menu features Wisconsin favorites like lake-caught Walleye 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.

The selection at Cafe Racer is straightforward fare, but packed with a lot of punch, from breakfast burritos, to the bobber brat to the clutch pie, a delicious hand-held dessert you'll devour before you get to your ride. Cafe Racer welcomes guests to come and go as they please and is as casual as a Sunday ride on an open road.
