Mihm’s in Menasha Returns Under New Ownership

MENASHA, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — A restaurant that had been a Fox Valley staple for over 60 years is back after closing its doors this summer.

Mihm’s Charcoal Grill in Menasha is officially under new ownership — something the previous owners had been hoping would happen when they announced the restaurant’s closure in May. At that time, though, the owners couldn’t find a buyer, and it looked like the Menasha gem would fade into Fox Valley history.

But flash forward almost six months, and the grill is cooking food once again.

The new owners, Ryan and Amber, posted on the restaurant’s Facebook page earlier this month to introduce themselves. The couple said they’re moving back to the Fox Valley to buy the business, even as they have a baby on the way.

In that post, they also promised that the menu would stay the same; the previous owners had passed down the recipes to the young couple. And they promised not to skimp on the butter.

The Facebook page was active again on Wednesday, as the owners shared a picture of the new staff, saying that Mihm’s is open for dine in from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday this week.

As the restaurant hires more workers, the owners say they’ll expand their hours. But until then, they’re grateful for the community’s understanding as they get things up and running.

While the new owners are looking to maintain much of Mihm’s traditions, there is something new: the restaurant will now be accepting credit and debit cards.
