“Small town bar with simple food that is cooked to perfection. A great example of small menu with great choices done right. Will definitely be back. Bartender Brent did a great job handling the lunch crowd!”

“Delicious! We dined in for the 1st time this past Friday as a family of 6 with 4 kids under 12. We were very pleased with the amount of food, quality of food and prices! It was refreshing to find a hidden gem. We traveled an hour to get here and will definitely be doing it again! 1919 on tap recommended to make the ultimate experience for the kiddos. Keep supporting small family businesses!”

“Vibes were immaculate, food was delicious, service was stellar. A spot to celebrate a special occasion, or to dine casually with friends. My go-to restaurant in La Crosse.”

“Absolutely the most charming coffee shop you will ever find. Don't let the high end look and feel of the place fool you, the people that work here are super friendly and down to earth. I came in wearing my work overalls and they were extremely pleasant. Cappuccino was great.”

“The restaurant is beautiful and peaceful, just perfect! While it is rather minor, the waitstaff forgot to refill my requested beverage until nearly the end of our eating. The restaurant only had 3 other tables, so not a case of being too busy. In a restaurant of this caliber and price, I expect nearly 100% every time. Aside from that, we were very pleased with our choices: salmon and French onion soup.”

“Well done, I rarely give 5 stars across the board but this place earns them. Ethan our server currently enrolled at UW Lacrosse was very good. Ravioli was excellent. Foxglove cabernet is a great choice of wine. A wonderful place and a very nice evening.”

“My friend and I checked out this place a while back and were pleasantly surprised , great food at great prices, with friendly staff. I've been back a handful of times since then with other people and every time we go everyone loves the place!”

“The pizzas were all great. You can order slices, which are 1/6th cut. The pizzas are made with Wisconsin cheese. We were told that they are going to a pizza convention in Las Vegas. They are obviously enthusiastic about great pizza. Highly recommended.”

“Love going to dinner here for all special occasions! They change the menu seasonally, and it always has options for everyone. We have found that the soup du jour is always a hit.”

“I LOVE coming here. All of there dark chocolate candies are just amazing and I’m so happy we found this little gem. I ask my partner to take me here whenever we’re out and about.”

“We love this place. I’m not usually a big steak eater, but their ribeye is spot-on. The scallops, shrimp, and seafood specials are always excellent. Garlic bread and mashed potatoes are crave-able. Stiff drinks, and always worth trying to save room for tiramisu. Look forward to trying the ribs soon. I’m always surprised that we only end up spending maybe $20 more for the two of us than we would at some mediocre chain. Make a reservation :)”

“Went to Buzzard Billy's on Thursday night for a 1st date. I have been going there as the only place I eat downtown La Crosse for years.This visit I tried a dish that consists of a chicken breast with a creamy brown Cajun shrimp sauce with rice. Fulfilling, flavorful but not overpowering. It was a perfect dish of something creamy and Fulfilling without being over powering.The restaurant was on a 45 minute wait so I would recommend calling to reserve a table. My entrée was $18 and filled me up perfectly with extra sauce and rice left over.All of the tables were full but our food arrived within 20 minutes.Definitely recommend!”

“I have come here a few times and every time I come back I don't understand how there is not a line out the door. This place easily has the best tacos not only in La Crosse but in the Coulee region. They keep it simple and execute perfectly on their food.”

“Had a craving for ice cream, and found this old time parlor. Great building and interior antique decoration. Waffle cones made on site, plain chocolate dipped and with sprinkles. Had a chocolate dipped waffle cone with snapping turtle, excellent! My wife has a plain cone with cherry chip and Irish cream, also excellent. Server was very pleasant. Can't go wrong with. Take your cone and walk around the riverfront.”

“Small resturant with limited menu options that are all excellently prepared. Menu changes frequently so no concern with lack of variety. Entrees include a few pasta, seafood and meat dishes. Usually no vegetarian option but will accommodate by subtracting meat/fish from any entree. Servers are knowledgeable, well trained (properly open a bottle of wine) and friendly. Service is efficient but not rushed.Vegetarian options: Will modify entrees to make vegetarian but no vegetarian offerings the times I have been there.Kid-friendliness: Dinner time not for kids”

“Update 2-3-2024...Still the best pizza in town! My first choice always! ---Original...Favorite pizza! Kramer's has some of the best staff in La Crosse, and outrageously good burgers. Visit the last watering hole on the south end of third street!Parking: Street parking in front, lot in the rear, and plenty of overflow lots nearby.”

“We had a wonderful date night at The Charmant! Our server was kind, knowledgeable and welcoming. Great food, wonderful service and a nice atmosphere. We would definitely go again for a special date night.”

“Best wraps in town! Bacon cheeseburger wrap and caribbean chicken wrap are my favorites! The boom boom sauce with the pub chips is bomb. Always a great experience here!”

“Loved the atmosphere here. The baristas seemed a bit put-off to be helping us, especially when I didn't know you picked up the food at a window way in the back and I asked about it. My friend's coffee drink got forgotten, and one barista was way nicer after that. The coffee (some kind of rosemary mocha) was really amazing, as was the cinnamon butter biscuit. I would love to try more food and the brunch cocktails next time.”

“Locally sourced foods.Great coffee.I had the corn meal waffle with pulled pork, cheese, corn, BBQ sauce and jalapeños for lunch. It had really good flavor. I'll be back.Vegetarian options: The menu tells you how to make some choices vegetarian.Kid-friendliness: Kids play area in the corner.Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs.”

“Good to great hot and cold sandwiches that rotate periodically, some alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, and a patio to sit outside and enjoy them. The bread is stellar -- so I'd love to know who supplies it to them! The sandwiches are stuffed, making me feel that I definitely get my money's worth.”

“Have always enjoyed the food and atmosphere of the restaurant. Personal spicy favorites: pork belly w/sticky rice, papaya salad (Lao style), Thai spicy noodle, green curry. Close to the university for convenience & have seen plenty of customers stop in for pickup/takeout. Dine-in seating is limited, but smartly arranged. Free street parking & can vary, as it depends on if you find a spot out front of the restaurant or around the neighborhood. 5/5.”

“Staff was friendly, and food was great! pork tacos were great, its clear kitchen staff knows what they are doing. I like how they give you a mix of different styles of fries. Nothing revolutionary but it was a nice touch that surprised me!”

“Their tenderloin sliders are definitely an item to try . Tender steak done perfect & added pepperjack cheese & onion. So delicious . I will come back for that item !It was on a Thursday so it was trivia night & it did become loud & busy at times .We came back for Friday fish which was average at best but what was really great was it included the salad bar which offered a nice variety & 2 kinds is soup that were great .”

“You walk in and it smells like heaven everytime..Amazing baked goods. Amazing coffee! Amazing smoothies (regular and i had the berries and cream protein smoothie amazing could of finished it before making it out of town. Friendly service dont mind answering questions about coffees and baked good! All together great place.”

“Great Food, amazing Service and a nice quiet place during the day to catch a bite to eat. The staff was super nice and always available. The food was hot, tasty and filling!”

“We ate at The Breakfast Club last weekend. It was very good and highly recommend. Get the donut holes as an appetizer. I think they do them in 6 or 15. Do yourself a favor and go with the higher quantity. You will be disappointed if you don't. All 4 of us got something different for the main course and everyone was very satisfied. I wouldn't hesitate to eat there again when we go back to the area.”
