“Friendly service and pleasant atmosphere. A package delivery guy stopped in asking if he could get water. Bartender quickly poured him a cup of ice water. After he left, another patron asked, “He only asked for water and you gave it to him?” Bartender’s response was, “Yeah…why not? It’s hot out there making all those deliveries. Poor guy must be thirsty.”
Such a simple kindness. We will be back.“

“My family and I have been enjoying a little staycation this week at a farmhouse Airbnb just outside Cologne. It’s been a nice reminder that you don’t have to travel far to have a great summer. My daughter has spent the week chasing chickens around the property and loving every minute of it.

Even on vacation I’m still working every day. As a Realtor, I’ve done business throughout Mayer over the years, and a few years back I almost bought the property across the street from Knuckleheads with plans to turn it into a small Airbnb. It wasn’t meant to be, but I’ve found myself driving through town regularly ever since.

After passing Knuckleheads countless times—especially on Tuesday nights with the Harleys lined up outside—I finally stopped in with my family.

We arrived toward the tail end of the live music. The patio was still full when we got there, but by the time we left around 9:00, the crowd had started to thin out—which is when I snapped the photo of my daughter enjoying the last few songs.

The musician was a phenomenal guitarist and singer, and the atmosphere made it easy to settle in for the evening.

We ordered burgers, cheese curds, and waffle fries. The waffle fries were outstanding, and what really made the visit was the staff. Vicky and Jenny were personable, attentive, and did a great job taking care of everyone on a busy night.

It’s easy to see why this place has become a local favorite. Between the patio, the music, and the people, we’ll definitely be back the next time we’re in Mayer.

“People like to say, "this is some of the best food outside of (insert city)." The Noble Lion has some of the best food anywhere and amazing staff as well!“

“Best burgers and fun atmosphere! Lots of pull tab options and booty chaser!“

“Awesome breakfast!! Perfect for a families and great price!“

“We have been to this restaurant a few times & every time it is consistently busy. Sometimes they have evening specials.
They have a nice selection of pull tabs, which my mom loves! We had the deep-fried cheese curds with drinks & we were pleasantly surprised at how great they were with their homemade dressings. It came out quickly. It was hot, cheesy, & melty. The bartenders worked well together, across the board, they took care of all the bar customers & the restaurant seats. The bartenders & the expediters worked flawlessly together to make sure all the customers in the restaurant were satisfied. Was impressed.

Parking: This is a bar with a small bowling alley attached. It's not family-friendly. But parents do bring their kids in from time to time. The later in the evening the louder the music and beverages are flowing, and at that point would be when families should probably leave.

Wheelchair accessibility: They do have a couple of tables of low-tops that could accommodate a wheelchair. They are tucked away in the back corner.
Brighten it up. Make it more inviting & get rid of the dark lighting.“

“Decent spot in Victoria. Food is pretty good for bar food - great breakfast on the weekend tho! Kind of annoying bartenders won’t come to the tables and you have go to the bar to order or pick up anything, but the staff are all very friendly. Atmosphere is meh. Outside is fun“

“We ate dinner last night around 6:30pm and had the best experience! We were seated promptly and greeted by our waitress who was friendly and gave the best service. The food was delicious. I got the Jordan Hometown burger- garlic aoli was top notch, mouth watering bun, cheesy with bacon and rosemary, I will come back for this burger!!!! The fries were seasoned perfectly. My significant other got the BBQ platter and thought it was tasty as well. He substituted the potato salad for mashed potatoes. I got a frozen strawberry daquri and a mudslide... both were out of this world. This was his first time and my second time coming here, definitely won't be our last. The restaurant was clean, it wasn't noisy and the booths were comfortable. I wish I could tell you our servers name because she was so awesome!“
