L'erable is a small community of 200 or so residents. Downtown features a church and an Old Milwaukee sign hanging off a red building. And a surprising number of cars - all for the Old Milwaukee-pouring Longbranch.

Fairly simple menu - but the food is spectacular. Probably the best prime rib I have ever had - 16 ounces, cooked perfectly - just a great cut. Came with bread, salad bar (soup part of the bar), and a side. The tomato soup was excellent - just a hint of sweetness and great consistency. The creamy vegetable soup was good, too, but I was really in the mood for more tomato soup.

The bread was so soft it basically melted on my tongue.

Salad bar had the two soups. Ranch potato salad, a ramen noodle salad, kidney bean salad, bean salad, etc...Quite the variety. For those who like preparing a tossed salad - that side had little to offer. A lettuce mix, green onions, mushrooms, tomato, and some dressings.

The prime rib was a work of art. I ordered their potato pancake with bacon and cheese filling (this was quite good).

Had iced tea but it was Nestea (yuck).

Total bill $28. I will definitely go back.

The food has been fantastic for years. It's been quite a while since we went, but my wife and I were talikng about it recently.

How did you find this place Fealz? I mean, talk about off the beaten path. My wife is from the area.

Prime Rib is probably my favorite cut of beef. Well done, Fealz!

Was hunting the church across the street a few years ago. Decided to look up the restaurant and saw the rave reviews.

The church is apparently the oldest frame church in Illinois. The priest left L'erable and went to Peshtigo. He saved the tabernacle from the fire (same night as the Chicago Fire) - that's on display at the Peshtigo Fire Museum.

Is this church closed now?

We were there for mass a few times 20 years ago.

Where is Peshtigo?

Church is still beautiful inside. Have been unable to enter as I think they only open it for Mass. Big ugly glass doors across the front though allow you to see in.

Peshtigo is 45 minutes north of Green Bay just before Menominee.
