Beloved Wisconsin Eatery Named 'Oldest Restaurant' In The State

America is full of beloved restaurants that have been serving their communities for decades, and in some cases nearly as long as America has been a country. To take it even further, Wisconsin has a rich history, both culturally and in terms of its culinary scene, so it's no surprise that there are plenty of historic establishments that have stood the test of time.

According to a list of the "oldest" restaurants around the country compiled by LoveFood, the "most historic restaurant" in all of Wisconsin is Mader's in Milwaukee, which has been a staple of the community for well over a century. Mader's is located at 1041 N. Doctor MLK Jr. Drive.

Here's what LoveFood had to say about this iconic Wisconsin institution:

"Milwaukee has always had a sizeable German population — that's why it's home to so many of America's breweries. This German influence is beautifully reflected at Mader's, which has been a Milwaukee institution since 1902. Mader's started as a bar but shifted to become a restaurant specializing in German cuisine during Prohibition. It's still family-run today and patrons love Mader's pork shank, which has been a menu favorite for over a century."
