I was born & raised in West Bend is Not 45 min from Milwaukee it's only about 35 min. Norbert is an awesome place to go never had an issue there & I have many enjoyable memories from there :) . The Riverside is hit & miss. I had such a bad experience there about 7 years ago with the food & customer service that I vowed never to go back & I haven't been. Fun Fact West Bend got it's name because of the bend in the river :) It's the halfway point between Fond du Lac & Milwaukee :)
