New Flavor Arrives Downtown: “The Big Garlic” Opening April 6 on Main Street Fond du Lac, WI

A new locally owned restaurant is set to bring bold flavor and a personal touch to downtown Fond du Lac. The Big Garlic, opening April 6, is the latest venture from a husband-and-wife team whose shared passion for food and community is at the heart of the business.

More than just a restaurant, The Big Garlic is described by its owners as a labor of love. Built on a foundation of family values and a commitment to quality, the couple aims to create a welcoming atmosphere where every guest feels at home.

Their concept began with a simple but flavorful idea: combine the rich, savory appeal of garlic-infused cuisine with classic comfort food favorites. The result is a menu that highlights bold taste while staying rooted in familiar, satisfying dishes.

Leading the lineup are their signature garlic cheeseburgers, made with premium ingredients and infused with robust garlic flavor. The burgers have quickly become the centerpiece of the menu, offering a distinctive twist on a traditional favorite. Guests can also expect popular sides like garlic aioli fries, along with a variety of other items designed to deliver what the owners call “full-on Big Garlic flavor.”

In addition to indulgent classics, The Big Garlic is also introducing a lighter option to start the year. Their new “Burger Bowls” offer a guilt- and gluten-free alternative, allowing customers to enjoy the same bold flavors in a fresh, customizable format.

With hours set daily from 10:30 a.m. to 9 p.m., The Big Garlic is positioned to serve both lunch and dinner crowds, adding another unique dining option to the downtown scene.

As Main Street continues to grow with new businesses and experiences, The Big Garlic brings not only a distinctive menu, but also a story rooted in passion, partnership, and a love of good food.
