I’ve got a sibling that lives in Cairo. I’ll have to ask how it is.
The town where I work in Wisconsin just had a Happy Joe's open about 6 months ago in an old Applebees. Nobody was ever in there and they have temporarily closed because of some construction outside. They say they are coming back in the Fall, but I have my doubts.
Love the cubes, love the rabbit poop sausage, BLT, Taco Joe, kraut, any of it. Used to beat the old Pella location up.
Anyone ever try their breakfast pizza?

I love the rabbit poop sausage too
I love all the pizza places that have the crumble sized sausage or beef. Happy Joe's does it, DaVinci's in Campustown used do it back in the day.
IIRC Hank told me one time Home Depot wanted to buy the bowling alley/Ruttles/Happy Joe's businesses and build a store there but he was adamant about not selling.
The Tombstone Classic Sausage was pretty good until about a year ago when they changed it.
Do you remember when Tony's in the yellow box had puck like sausage and the pepperoni cups?
Yep. Love those grease cups. At least now you can buy those pepperoni cups at the store from brands like Hormel.
I had never had taco pizza before moving to Iowa in 2005. Tried it for the first time at the Muscatine HJ.
Wisconsin Style Old Fashioneds are actually a really good cocktail. It's too bad they are called old fashioneds, because it's not similar at all, and so people who don't know what a Wisconsin old fashioned is are always disappointed when they order one

A lot of high-school post-play gatherings for me at that place in the early 80s. Still in the same location!
Both of Happy Joe’s dine-in locations in Cedar Rapids are gone, they now just have two delivery/pickup places. No more soft-serve, no more arcade games, no more getting a plastic spider ring with your 8000 game tickets …

That‘s a Godfathers. Although there are darn few of those around anymore, too.
I order canadian bacon and sauerkraut at Pizza Pit. I got that idea from my dad at happy joes in cr on 6th ave.
Jake's Pizza in Albert Lea Mn does a really good job with sauerkraut pizzas another cool thing about Jake's is that they have a multi level carousel style pizza oven, only one of them that I have ever seen.
George's pizza in Austin also makes good pizzas with sauerkraut on them. Both these places put enough on that you can actually taste them.
We were in Baraboo last fall and I had what might be the best single cocktail I've ever had in my life, it was at the Driftless Glen Distillery, their Blackberry Old Fashioned was seriously amazing.

- 2 Dashes of Whiskey Barrel Aged Bitters
