About

Our Story

At Our House 2, our journey began with a love for good food and a desire to create a welcoming dining experience. Originally from Waupun, WI, we found ourselves captivated by the charm of Arkansas during a visit to military friends in 2012. So much so, that we decided to make it our new home.

In Arkansas, we worked various jobs to make a living. Sheila became a store manager at the local Dollar General, while John put his culinary skills to use as a cook at a nearby gas station. It was there that John’s passion for smoked food emerged when the owner proposed the idea of selling smoked dishes. Starting with smoked wings, John’s talent expanded to ribs, brisket, and pulled pork.

Word of John’s delicious smoked creations quickly spread, and soon enough, the owner of a local café offered him a cook position, granting him the freedom to experiment with flavors and perfect his recipes. Eventually, the opportunity arose for us to purchase the café, and we seized it eagerly. Sheila left her job at Dollar General to join John in this culinary adventure.

Our time in Arkansas was prosperous, but we felt a longing to be closer to our growing grandchildren in Wisconsin. After much contemplation, we decided it was time to return home. With our hearts set on continuing our culinary journey, we embarked on a search for a restaurant in Wisconsin. That search led us to the establishment we proudly call Our House 2.

Since our opening on June 10, 2021, Our House 2 has become a hub of warmth and delicious flavors. Our breakfast and lunch menu offers a wide selection of dishes, with generous portions that are always fresh. We take pride in preparing our own breakfast meats, such as bacon, sausage patties, and smoked links. For lunch, our specialty lies in perfectly smoked meats, including brisket, pulled pork, half chickens, and ribs. These mouthwatering items can be enjoyed in our cozy dining area or purchased by the pound to share with your loved ones at home.

Lunch Review – One of the best burgers I’ve had at a restaurant. The burger was seasoned and was cooked till just a touch of pink was left. Made for a very juicy and flavorful burger.

I probably would have gotten American if I knew the cheddar option was shredded, but it did not take away from the flavor. Onion looked like it was cooked for a minute, which helped unlock some of that sweetness.

Fries were crisp and went well with some ketchup.

Looking forward to having breakfast here one morning or afternoon.

Usually my daughter and I walk to Our House and get breakfast take out food. One of the servers always offers to help me carry my stroller up the steps and her customer service is amazing! We usually get the omelet or breakfast burrito. So yummy and the portions are great size to warm up for later 🙂

Excellent service at breakfast and now at the fish fry. We tried all the fish and it was all good. They’ll prepare it any way you’d like. Sides and drinks were good too.
