History
Back in May 1984, Ed and Sharon Dinges moved from Kenosha Wisconsin to raise their three boys (Eddie, then 13; Garrett, 12; and Billy, 10) in the rural setting of Merrill. The couple purchased the former Country Inn at Hwy. 64/107 and Joe Snow Road and went about raising their family while they built a solid reputation for their new business. Ed and Sharon had never owned a restaurant or a tavern before. Ed had run his own snowplow business and worked in the construction trade before a back injury prompted him to look for a different line of work. Ed & Sharon's became known for good food and friendly service, with Sharon behind the bar and Ed in the kitchen. Around 1988, Ed bought his first Broaster machine, an addition that launched the restaurant's now-famous Broasted chicken dinners. The Broaster salesman guaranteed Ed that the machine would double his chicken dinner sales, or he could give it back for a full refund. The machine backed up the salesman's boast, and Ed kept it.
