Check out some of the recent blog posts from Erv's Mug and see whats going on
The Dual Nature of Erv
Erv was a man of contradictions-a softy at heart yet outwardly a hard ass. His dual nature was evident in the way he interacted with the world around him. On one hand, he was the secret benefactor, regularly purchasing and delivering bags of traditional Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter meals for…
Chef Mario
Our next blog post is about the man who has brought the most positive change to our organization since the covid era. Introducing our Head Chef, Mario Perez. Chef Mario joined Erv’s Mug in 2021 as a line cook. Within the first month of his tenure, he was quickly established…
Fish Fry
Shortly after we opened in 1979, customers were quick to provide feedback that Erv’s needed a Fish Fry. There were no other fish fries in Oak Creek at the time; Heck there were hardly any other restaurants at that time. Erv decided to do a Beer-Battered version, which is the…
Women’s Month
March is International Women’s Month & celebrations of women are all around. But here at Erv’s, Superwomen are at the core of our business, and we celebrate them every day, all year long. Many talented women have worked at the Mug over the years, including 2 generations of female ownership.…

Julie
We close out February paying tribute to the young, single mom who wandered in the door 20 years ago and applied for a job. Her then 5-year-old daughter was the same age as my youngest son, and an immediate friendship was formed. We grew together just as our children grew…
The French Revolution & Restaurants
The French Revolution (1789-1799) significantly impacted dining culture and helped shape modern restaurants. Before the Revolution, dining was an exclusive activity for the wealthy elite. After the fall of the aristocracy, many chefs who had worked for noble families found themselves unemployed. With their former employers gone, these chefs sought…
Big Mike
We’ve done a few blog posts about people who used to work here. So, we thought it was time to do a post on our most famous current employee, Mike. Aka “Big Mike” aka “The Mikey”. Our coworker with the mohawk & more fingers than teeth. Big Mike started working…
Homemade Apple Pecan Baked Beans
At Erv’s Mug, we offer 12 side options, ranging from classic choices like thick-cut French fries and homemade soup to premium sides such as honey maple glazed sweet potato fries and a crock of baked French onion soup for a small upcharge. One side stands out, though-our homemade apple pecan…
Craft Beer
When Erv first thought about what he wanted to offer his customers to drink, he wanted to serve the beverage he loved the most, beer. But not just any beer, he wanted a fantastic draft beer line up. He ambitiously started out with 20 draft lines, which quickly expanded to…
