GREEN BAY. Home to what some consider the "best burger in Green Bay," Kroll's East offers a friendly, diner-like atmosphere that's made it a local favorite since 1936, when Harry and Caroline Kroll first opened the doors. Aside from burgers, which are indeed a "must try," Kroll's East offers hearty options, including a half-chicken plate, baby walleye plate, or gourmet scallop plate ­ all served with your choice of mashed potatoes or French fries. Cold sandwiches, soups, and salads are also available. A word to the wise: make sure you save room for their old-fashioned blueberry milkshakes, made with real ice cream!

GREEN BAY. Known for homemade pasta dishes and hand-tossed pizzas, Sammy's on Oneida has been a tradition since the late '50s, when the Clemo and Crispigna families ran their first pizzeria on Walnut Street. Though the location may have changed, members of the Crispigna family continue to own and operate the place today and still use traditional family recipes to create signature, old-fashioned Italian fare. The open kitchen and rough, earth-toned walls provide a homey setting for enjoying a 16-inch Sammy's Special Pizza ­ Wisconsin-made mozzarella cheese topped with Italian sausage, onion, and green peppers. Take-out orders are accepted.
