Unfortunately, the motel complex has been demolished, although the restaurant apparently still stands. I only know of this masterpiece of American kitsch through Lilek's site. You are fortunate to have actually experienced this in all its glory.

The details of the demise are documented at:

My dad was a big *Let's all go for a Sunday Drive* kind of guy and we kids dutifully went along. We ended up at cool places all over SE and S Central WI.

I too, have eaten at the Gobbler during it's Hey-day . . . nothing to write home about, but interesting nonetheless.

Does any Wisconsinite remember the Pyramid restaurant? I remember eating there, but to this day (40+ years later) I have no clue where it is since my dad always drove.
