[UPDATED August 26, 2019]
For years, I have heard people say that Mequon needs more restaurants. Heck, I have said that also.
However, in reality, I doubt there is another community our size with so many places to eat. Here is the list I put together (let me know if I missed any). I originally published this list in April of 2017, and this is the second time I have updated it. The list excludes our four grocery store delis, two private country clubs and gas stations like KwikTrip that sell sandwiches. Of course, we can always use more!
- Anodyne Coffee
- Bavette La Boucherie
- Beans & Barley
- Bowls
- Café 1505
- Café Corazon
- Café Hollander
- Chancery Pub & Restaurant
- China Buffet
- Colectivo Coffee
- Crave
- Culver’s
- Dairy Queen
- Dominoe’s Pizza
- Einstein Bros Bagels
- Ferrante’s
- Fiddleheads
- First Watch
- Happy Dough Lucky
- Harvey’s Central Grill
- Highland House
- Hong Anh Palace
- Jimmy Johns
- Jodi’s 19th Tee at Mee-kwon Park
- Landmark
- Leonardo’s Pizza Parlour
- Libby Montana
- McDonald’s
- Mequon Pizza Company
- Mr. B’s
- Nines American Bistro
- Noodles & Company
- Panera Bread
- Pizza Hut/Wing Street
- Purple Door Ice Cream
- Range Line Inn
- Ruby Tap
- St. Paul’s Fish Market
- Santorini Grill
- Screaming Tuna
- Sobelmans Pub N Grill Mequon
- Spanky’s Hideaway
- Starbucks
- Subway
- Taco Bell
- The Fox Den
- Vietnamese Noodles
- Wooden Goose Café
- Yummy’s
- Zaffiro’s

Additionally, Thiensville has another 10 places:
- Baree, The
- Cheel, The
- Chuck’s Place
- Cousin’s
- Downtown Pizza
- Falafel Guys
- Fiddleheads
- Prime Minister Family Restaurant
- Remington’s River Inn
- Skippy’s Burger Bar
The variety is fairly extraordinary: fine dining, family, sports bar, a public market and fast food places. Note also that less than 20% of these restaurants are national chains.
Mequon and Thiensvile collectively have about 27,000 people, and there are 61 places to eat (excluding the four grocery store delis, two country clubs and KwikTrip). That means there is about one restaurant for every 440 people.
Plus, the Foxtown development will soon have a couple of places to eat.
Bon Appetit.
