A Wisconsin State Fair Tradition

Roberts

Home/State Fair

Four Decades at the Fair

A summer tradition,
made the same way.

Long before "On The Clock," owner Robert Krause was already a fixture of one of Wisconsin's biggest summer traditions. For around forty years, Roberts has served hungry crowds at the Wisconsin State Fair in West Allis.

Same from-scratch recipes, same hand-made care that's kept the south side coming back for nearly 50 years — just under the lights of the fairgrounds, with a line out front and the smell of the grill in the air.

If you're walking the fair this summer, come find us. It's the same good food, the same family, and always the perfect time.
