Classic Kewpee cooks up doll-icious eats
Kewpee -- also called "The Kewpee" -- is a Racine dining gem featuring great grill food and 300-400 Kewpie dolls. Somehow, despite all the dolls, Kewpee gets away without being the least bit creepy. It's bright and upbeat and almost always packed with a variety of customers from all walks of life.

Solly's is a burger-lover's heaven
Solly's is, as the name would perhaps indicate, unpretentious, to the point and casual. Diners here can gobble up their butter burgers at tiny two-tops or take a seat at the canary yellow, figure-eight shaped counter.

Mason Street Grill's bar a great place to eat
If you haven't been to this new Pfister Hotel restaurant, I'd highly suggest it. The regular dining room also is very nice as is the traditional bar area. Yet, its food bar stands out.
