Wild Hare American Bar & Grill

We have eaten at the Wild Hare several times as our son is at UNI and it's nice and close. The first time we went, it was amazing all around. The three times since, it's been a bit of a letdown. Food is always good and they have a great menu. Our issue (and for many other people at the restaurant) is the kitchen takes FOREVER to get food out. I'm talking 45 minutes from when you order to when it arrives to your seat. And this last time we went it was after lunch and not busy at all so it's not like they were backed up or something. Not sure if the cooks are new or just not fast but it's become and issue. Servers are great and check back in a lot and are forced to apologize for the long wait. Next time we go if the food takes a long time to arrive we will plan to eat elsewhere moving forward.

I came to Wild Hare with my fiancé and future brother-in-law a little before 5pm on 6/21. (Long story short food is moderate if you are looking for a food review and expect to wait long.) We ordered drinks and cheese curds, which came out fine. My fiancé’s custom pizza and my brother-in-law’s mac & cheese burger arrived a little more than 30 minutes later from when we ordered but, my mango chipotle cheddar bacon burger never showed up. Waitress said she would go check on it 10 minutes later the server told me it went to the wrong part of the restaurant due to a tech issue. She said she meant to send the order to the back but it went to the front/bar which I am still confused on as the kitchen and bar are in the front. She said they were on it right away and will be out in first thing but that turned into 15 minutes. She repeatedly said it would be “one more minute and they are finishing the final touches on my food”—which turned into another 15 minutes then 30 minutes. After waiting nearly an hour total since the people I were with had ate, I canceled my burger and ended up eating leftover cold pizza that my fiancé ordered. They took my burger off the bill, but didn’t offer a discount or make any effort to fix the poor experience when I asked. The waitress simple said no and apologized but walked away with no explanation. The food we did get was just okay—not worth the wait or price. Overall, the service was frustrating and disappointing. I wouldn’t return based on this visit.

Good food

Great food and amazing staff!!

Amazing steak- best I have ever had!

we saw a review about the boss bowl. After eating it I'll call it America's Poutine! So delicious 😋 seriously, routine is fries, curse curds and gravy. This bowl is roast beef, mashed potatoes, tator tots, brisket, chicken, corn, onions, and gravy. it was so amazing. They should really change the name to American Poutine. it's so delicious! The Breakfast Burger was amazing also 😋

Joslyn was awesome! Personable. knowledgeable.

We went around 8:30 last night and the place was packed! Our experience started from the moment we walked in the door. We were greeted by a man who was very nice and welcoming! Our server was FANTASTIC!! Any staff we came in contact with was just wonderful. We got our food pretty fast especially for the place to be full :) The food was DELICIOUS. I would give this place more stars if I could. My son and I both agreed this is going to be our new favorite place to eat! Prices were good for the amount of food and quality!!!! Can’t wait to come back soon :) Highly RECOMMEND!

This is a slightly less drunk review. This is a good place with good people, mostly. As a former all conference defensive end and a good amount of high school girlfriends I don't appreciate being called a loser by their employee but I cannot recommend the place enough. She was drunk and off the clock. They are hard working and deserve endless business. Far more than the other bars

The waitress was very friendly and helpful. The drinks were very good. The menu says homemade gravy. That was not the case. Very salty. Waitress said it was canned. Pasta alfredo needed more garlic. If we come back I will try a burger.
