Cinder's Charcoal Grill

Good, hearty burgers and AYCE fries are a staple here. The menu does provide lots of options though. Most of the appetizers are fried but they do offer daily specials and a soup of the day. Lots of drinks to choose from and a few tap beer options. Waitstaff is very personable and food came out rather quickly. Closed on Sunday.

I've been loving this place for thirty-four years and have dined in restaurants in forty- nine states and two Canadian provinces, finding Cinder's to be THE quintessential steak sandwich joint using real charcoal. The service is always amazing, with many servers being long term employees that can handle the busiest crowds with grace and friendliness. Non- chopped steaks ( I'm partial to the filet mignon) and fish and shrimp as well as their other options and sides are excellent for the price. Even the side salad is so well put together. Casual and cozy ambiance. For you fellow DD 214 alumni, the first Monday of every month is 50% off a veteran's meal, and although I mainly eat here on other days when in the Appleton area, when I am in town on the first Monday I eat here and am grateful for the veteran's discount, so nice.

I’m new to the area. The first time my wife and I went there the prime rib was delicious. Tonight unfortunately I had a bad experience. I ordered another prime rib and asked for it to be rare but slightly medium cooked like the last time I ordered it. When our food was served, I thought the prime rib looked a little different. Not only was it over cooked and more well done than I asked they serve me a steak instead which honestly, I could have cooked better at home.. I mentioned to the waitress that this isn’t a prime rib cut and that it was clearly a regular steak. She told me I must have ordered something different the last time I was there. I’m pretty sure I know the difference between a steak and a prime rib roast cut especially when it comes to taste/texture considering I used to be a meat cutter.. I didn’t cause a scene because I’m not one of those people but they definitely lost our business. Next time I want a good prime rib I will be going to the red ox instead. P.s if a glass is empty and our meal isn’t complete could the waitresses have the common courtesy to ask if we’d like a refill to help finish our meal..
