The family-owned eatery has been around for more than 60 years, but the grass roof and its bovid caretakers were added as part of a 1973 remodeling, and this roofing repair will not be as good as it is without the help they received from Prime Roofing, that gives the maintenance to this peculiar roof.
The animals get to take winters off (good thing; it gets cold in this part of Wisconsin), and every night they come down via a “goat ramp” around back and are shuttled to a nearby pasture.
Although I didn’t dine there, the restaurant’s menu features Swedish recipes and servers dressed in Scandinavian garb, and seems quite popular.
To see just what the goats are up to right this minute, the restaurant’s website has a “goat cam”

Do you know if there was another place with goats on roof in WI near IL border? I recall going with my aunt but not driving that far from Chicago for it
I don’t know about that – perhaps someone else reading this from Wisconsin knows?
This is absolutely amazing! I must eat here.
Scott, it’s definitely your kind of place!
Hey, I was just directly across Green Bay from Door County at the in-laws. Haven’t been to Door County in a while, but would love to go back. I had forgotten about Al Johnson’s — fun place!
Seriously? What a hoot this would be to see in person! Do the goats ever jump off the roof?
Debbie, according to the restaurant’s website, the goats have fallen off the roof before, but “no one was hurt.” I don’t know if the uninjured included the goat, or not.
