Who We Are.
Stop in for
Good Times
& Great Food!
Sidekicks is the former site of Country Kitchen of De Pere. The facility was purchased by the owner of a local tavern called The Bootlegger. Ray Hoffman remodeled the Main Avenue site and relocated his existing business that had been demolished due to expansion in downtown West De Pere in the year 2000.
April 1st of 2002 Denise & Kurt Gajeski changed the name to Sidekicks and expanded the kitchen and the menu. Our next step was to hire some of the best available people in the service industry, from kitchen staff to bartenders and servers. Once that was accomplished we were ready to begin showing potential customers what we had to offer in terms of quality products and great service all at a reasonable cost. We also recognized the need for clean friendly surroundings that welcome folks of all ages and provide a comfortable atmosphere for all. We strive to keep our facility, our offerings and our staff in tune with all of the current needs of our customers.
Stop in and say hi to your old friends and make some new ones. Enjoy a great quality meal an ice cold beer or a generous cocktail, we will be here waiting to serve you your family and friends with a warm friendly smile and an enjoyable relaxing experience.
If we fail to meet your expectations in terms of quality, service or price please feel free to let us know.

I need to clarify why I closed early yesterday. Some of the comments I felt were rude. Due to the weather, sidekicks closed at 4:00 yesterday. The snow got into the exhaust fan and plugged it up. I could not serve any food. So it was my decision to close. I understand the storm was done but the fan still wouldn’t work until the snow melted from it. Thank you! ... See MoreSee Less

Your business and your decision. People quickly forget that during COVID you were at your business preparing and packing up food and giving it away to anyone that wanted and needed it. You are the best in my book.
You are a wonderful employer. You have to do what is best for your employees and customers!!
You had to do what was best and safest for your customers and employees! ❤️
People can be so rude and mean you have to do what is best for your business
You do a great job!!!! Sorry that there are so many rude people out there…
Over two DECADES running a successful business because you make the right decisions. Well done! 👍🏻
We closed for the safety of our employees and customers...no need to explain! We love your place! Keep doing what you do!
Sudsy, you are an amazing boss, friend, and business owner!! Do not let anyone make you feel like anything less. We are all lucky to have you as a responsible business owner. There will always be an unhappy person but that's not on you!!😘
I’m sorry you had to explain yourself! You shouldn’t have too!!
Great response Denise, some people have way too much time on their hands to only look for the negative of others! Keep up your great business 😊
Great place! Enjoy stopping in whether it is for a meal, a snack, or a drink and some popcorn. Ignore the rude snobs and continue to do a great job serving the rest of your happy customers. Thanks
I’d ask her to make the next mortgage payment if she can’t say anything nice and needs to add her 2 cents.
You made the correct call for YOUR business, if people got pissed off it’s their issue not yours!!
It sucks that there is such rude people.
No need to explain. It's amazing how easy it is for a non business owner to know/assume what is best for a true business owners decision.
Some people just suck 🤷🏻♂️.
You don’t ever need to explain yourself! People need to stop being so judgmental and mind their own business.
It's what we have become with social media. Take care.
Go get a beer or drink somewhere else. That is all. Suds you made the correct call.
You do you! What business owner wouldn’t want to be open if it makes sense. No explanation needed imo. Do what ya gotta do! 👊✌️ 🍻
I'm sorry that people are so brutal these days.
Sorry to hear that. I hope it gets going soon.
There is no need for rude comments. What is wrong with people? What if it had been a medical emergency? Doesn’t matter the reason, you closed early. They need to move on already.
Perfectly said! But you should not have needed to explain.
Sorry people are so disrespectful!

We are thinking the same thing
The roads are fine!
It's nice in Florida!
Snow should be done by four
That’s when the weather actually let up!! Should have been closed earlier and opened at 4
Understandable

Good call 🤙 Stay safe!!!!

Haha! I’m pretty sure I didn’t book a duo from London😂. But thanks for trying.
Is it Acoustic duo or The Acoustic Duo, The Acoustic Duo are from London.
Acousti-Co?
Good call. Safety first.
I've only heard of The Acoustic Duo
Sweet Acoustics-but a trio
Is this the group you are looking for?
