The word about the new business is already out as a line formed behind the cash register. One gentleman in line commented that he had also grown up eating Maid-Rite.

The Waukesha Maid-Rite is the only one in southeastern Wisconsin; however, one exists in La Crosse.  It is located at the corner of West Moreland Boulevard and Delafield Street in the same building as

I ate there today. Delicious! I like that there are many side options available besides just fries or fried food.
Vance Skinner August 14, 2012 at 08:09 pm
Thanks Sarah! We really tried to offer many new and different options for sides. There is also a good mix of comfort as well as healthy choices, which I'm sure you noticed. The response from the community has been very positive and I'm glad you enjoyed your food!

Welcome and best of luck on your new business adventure!

Good luck Vance! This is a great opportunity for you! Gary Mitchell

Wait. It's not a maid service? When I saw the announcement I honestly thought that's what it was. I hope their food is better than their spelling.
Sarah Millard (Editor) August 15, 2012 at 08:33 pm
The spelling is confusing - but it is a national franchise that's been around for decades.
St. Swithin August 16, 2012 at 11:34 am
Since I have also been around for decades and have never heard of it, I would not call it a 'national' franchise. The web site shows it's almost entirely in the mid-west. The site mentions their inability to spell.

Well, grew up on maid-rite (Quincy,IL)... Live in the Sha now. Went, today. It was OK. Good in it's own right but just not the same. All the fancy new selections, not a fan nor are they necessary. I am use to fried cauliflower, mushrooms, crinkle fries, and enough grease on my maid-rite to clog the arteries of at least three people. So, a little dry, overpriced, and super small location for me. The ones sold at Leon's custard are closer to what Quincy's maid-rites are like. But I will probably go back.
Mark August 26, 2012 at 04:44 am
I should clarify, I had my heart set on it being the same. I DID like it. Wish them all the best and judging from today's traffic it will be very successful!

Went to Maid-Rite last night with my wife. Not impressed and will probably never go back unless it's for a milk shake. Food was mediocre at best. Portions were small. Fries and "homemade onion rings" were coming out of a frozen food bag! Not the "Diner" I had in mind!

Love Maid-Rite! We eat there often, enjoy the friendly atmosphere and the opportunity to speak with the owners whilst waiting for our meals. If you aren't diggin' the Maid-Rite burger, try the smoked turkey wrap, or pulled pork. So good!

Our spruce trees have been dying as well. Very slowly. This is on upper Coventry lane just acrossRead More from the walkway to Meadowbrook school.

We lost bushes also. I assumed it was from last summer's drought. We're located near Hy59 andRead More Sunset. I noticed dead trees at Prairie View and Sunset also.

I agree that the folks at this Kwik Trip are great at assisting disabled people like myself but IRead More disagree that all Kwik Trips are helpful. There is a law that all gas stations are to assist you if you have disabled plates or a hanging placard if you press the help or disabled key on the pump. If there is no key (and I think all must have them by a certain date) then you are to honk horn twice and if there are at least 2 employees on duty, they are to assist. The K/T on St. Paul is useless. I've waited there, watching at least 3 employees mill around the counter with 1 or 2 customers and ingnore me. The Grandview station same but I haven't tried them in a few months. The worst station for that is whatever the one on St. Paul and Prarie is. I pulled in to see a female worker standing on side of building smoking. When she went in she was greeted by a male worker and I was ignored by both. I'd like to do a survey on how helpful each gas station is to the disabled. Kudos to Fleetfoot Kwik Trip! Whatever they got they should share with their brethren. I would rather give my $ to K/T because they are WI based and they donate regularly to the Salvation Army

I am fine with this service--its great. However being handicapped does not mean employees need toRead More give up their breaks or other customers need to let you cut in line in front of their service needs.

According to a recent episode of Judge Judy, tomatoes can be both poisonous and deadly.

Update! Collin was just selected as one of two STATE TROOPERS for Dodge County. He and otherRead More representatives were interviewed yesterday. Word is that he may be assisting Governor Scott Walker off the helicopter when he arrives at Badger Boys State later this week. Governor Walker is a past Badger Boys State representative.

Thanks for sharing and congrats Collin!
