Fazoli's

We like Fazoli's. As far as we can determine, there are Fazoli's restaurants in 36 states. The Fazoli's we visited is #1711, located at 256 N. Pioneer Road , Fond Du Lac, WI 54935, with the phone number, (920) 924-7549.

We suggest you try their pizza, cheese or pepperoni. Their Parmesan chicken salad is good too. It is lettuce blended with grape tomatoes, shredded Parmesan cheese and a Parmesan-breaded chicken breast. We tried their Caesar salad, and we liked it. The service was good and the prices reasonable.

Fat Bruce's offers something for everyone. They have baked goodies for breakfast. Their hot sandwiches, hot creamy soups, and crisp salads are great. Also they offer vegetarian and vegan friendly items. Whether dining in or taking out, Fat Bruce's offers something for everyone.

Fat Bruce's of Ripon is not the first Fat Bruce's Bakery and Eating Kitchen. The original Fat Bruce's operated in Asheville, NC from 1987-1993, and it has been revived 13 years later to offer a new set of patrons great food and great service.

We told them to make us sandwiches with the stuff on them we wanted. They did not complain. Also we had soup.
