Cinders Charcoal Grill Appleton Wisconsin Restaurant 5 Star Reviews

Best steak sandwich I have ever had! Tender, juicy, and cooked to my desired doneness. I also had split pea soup, and it tasted just like my own! Highly recommend this restaurant.

Great food and friendly service. Prices are reasonable too. I'll be going back there again when in town for a Packers game.
