Inspired by the legacy of her father, Ed Debevic…

Emmi grew up traveling the backroads of the Badger State, visiting bustling diners, charming drive-ins, and lively supper clubs. She remembers the clink of glasses, the jukebox playing timeless favorites, the laughter that carried across the room, and the food—always hearty, always satisfying, always shared. Unlike her father’s famed restaurant, which thrived on playful sass and theatrical service, Emmi’s vision is different. She set out to create a place that blends nostalgia with modern hospitality—a restaurant that captures the spirit of Wisconsin’s most beloved eateries while delivering food that’s exceptional in both flavor and quality.

At Emmi’s, there’s no gimmick—just exceptionally good food prepared with care, rooted in the comforting traditions of Wisconsin dining.

Every dish is a reflection of cherished memories: Friday night fish fries, golden cheese curds, and the gentle hum of familiar songs playing overhead. It’s a heartfelt nod to the diners, drive-ins, and supper clubs found all across Wisconsin—places where comforting meals, friendly faces, and a sense of togetherness made every visit feel special. At Emmi’s, we carry that spirit forward, serving food that’s as memorable as the traditions that inspired it.
