Majerle’s Black River Grill: A Hidden Woods Gem Near Sheboygan

A Hidden Gem in the Woods: Majerle’s Black River Grill 🌲🍴

Some of the best stops on our travels are the ones we don’t even plan. After church one Sunday, it was me, my sister, my aunt, and the two boys piled into the car, chatting, laughing, and trying to decide where we should grab lunch before heading to our destination. You know how it goes—everyone’s hungry, everyone has an opinion, and suddenly the pressure is real 😂.

So we did what any hungry family does… we started Googling spots along our route. And up popped a place I’d never heard of before: Majerle’s Black River Grill. Cute name. Woodsy location. Cozy vibes. We were sold before we even pulled in.

When we arrived, it felt like stumbling across a Northwoods cabin tucked into the trees. 🌲 It’s truly one of those “blink and you’ll miss it” restaurants, nestled off the beaten path in the Black River area of Sheboygan. Inside, it has that classic Wisconsin charm—knotty pine walls, warm lighting, and a staff that treats you like you’ve been showing up for Sunday lunch your whole life.

Majerle’s has been around for decades and has built a quiet-but-loyal following. It’s the kind of spot people hit after hiking the lakeshore, spending the morning at the beach, or cruising through the woods. Think hearty, comfort-style meals: steaks, burgers, fish fry, and those classic supper club flavors that just feel like Wisconsin ❤️.

I ordered the prime rib sandwich, because when you’re at a place that feels like a supper club in the woods, you get the prime rib. And let me tell you—worth it. Tender, flavorful, and exactly what I needed. The boys? They stuck to their reliable standby: cheeseburgers and fries 🍔🍟. If your kids are anything like mine, you know that a good cheeseburger is the true test of whether a restaurant makes the future "must-stop-again" list. And according to them, Majerle’s passed with flying colors.

We sat, talked, relaxed, and enjoyed that perfect mix of family time + comfort food that makes these little unplanned adventures so memorable. That’s what I love most about places like Majerle’s Black River Grill—they’re not flashy, not fancy, just genuinely good. And sometimes, those are the stops that stick with you the longest. 💛

So if you’re ever in the Sheboygan area and want a cozy meal in a spot that feels like a hidden cabin in the woods, make the detour. Trust me. Your stomach—and your kids—will thank you. 😉
