I posted this back in Feb, so I'll resurrect some options for ya:
- East Troy Brewery (
https://etbrew.com/) - decent food, good beers, a little pricey for what you get but usually very chill atmosphere.
- East Troy House (
https://easttroyhouse.com/menu) - bar food and lots of options for drinks. Great "tailgate" atmosphere, very typical Wisconsin bar. Always a good time.
- Sauced Pizza (
https://www.getsauced.pizza/?view=store) - VERY good pizza spot for something quick. No alcohol.
- 2894 On Main (
https://2894onmain.com/) - great breakfast/coffee stop, only open for breakfast and brunch on Sunday.
One of my favorite spots is Gus's Drive In (
https://gussdrivein.com/menus/). Its a 1950's style drive in diner, every Saturday in the summer is a classic car show where maybe 50 to 75 different cars are on display. Amazing food, ice cream, one of the most popular spots in the area.
Also, there is a distillery that just opened up too. You can also bring your own food in (grab a pizza from Sauced and bring it in).

If you're into BBQ, there is an amazing BBQ joint called LDs BBQ (
https://www.ldsbbq.com/menu/) that is one of the best I've had and highly recommend.
East Troy Fourth of July Parade - Sunday at noon
There is plenty of golf, hiking in the southern kettle moraine unit, frisbee golf courses, and you can always head over to Lake Geneva for more of a touristy feel to things.
Downtown East Troy has some nice boutique shops and what not if you're into that too.
Hope this helps!
