As local restaurants continue to adjust to the challenges brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, one Sturgeon Bay eatery continues an old-fashioned carhop to accommodate customers.  Wanda Jeans Family Restaurant started the concept back in April when restaurants could not have indoor seating due to the Safer at Home Order.  Waitress Cheryl Simon explains how it works.

Owner Wanda Hilsabeck says customers have really taken to the idea.

Hilsabeck estimates that over 25 percent of her overall business is done through the carhop these days.  The most popular items on the carhop menu are burgers, hotdogs, fries, cheese curds, malts, and root beer floats.  Hilsabeck notes that the special menu allows for the order to be filled within five to six minutes.    She says the only missing element from the old carhop days is the roller skates worn by the waitresses because of safety concerns.  The Wanda Jeans’ Car Hop is open daily at 8 am until 1:30 pm, and Fridays until 6 pm.
