“Our family came to Howies after my daughter raved about this place. We brought my brother and his daughter with. We got to sit up top so our waitress had to carry our drinks and food to up to us. If you haven’t met waitress Jessica W yet you must! She was a rock star! She kept our drinks full and got our food to us in a timely manner. She was so friendly and we all loved her. The food was dynamite! We loved the appetizers and our main meal. We will for sure be back and will be asking for Jessica again!“

“they have DJ/Karaoke on some weekends and some great bands on other weekends. Bingo every Thursday and Friday Fish which is the best around. Friendly bartenders and plenty of food to choose from. New homemade pizza is excellent!“

“Amazing food, friendly staff and quick!“

“If you like Kwik Trip food this is it but better and for better value. There are also additional options that Kwik Trip doesn’t offer. The portion sizes are huge and the food is hot and fresh. Order from a menu at the Hearty Platter counter and then grab a coffee or a Buddy (free refills of both when dining in), and check out at the Kwik Trip register with your drink and Hearty Platter receipt. Sit down at a table and someone will bring you your food. No tips required but if you do tip they are donated to a charity.“

“Today my son was at the Culver’s in Onalaska, WI by the high school for lunch. He had no money and had called to try to get money sent to his phone so he could eat with his friends. I called the store to see if I could pay for his food over the phone. The lady who answered explained that she couldn’t take payment over the phone but she would pay for his meal. I said I would pay her back and she said don’t worry about it. She met him by the ice cream cooler and paid for his meal. She was so kind and didn’t even think twice. For someone who probably had a lot more to worry about - like the 60+ kids in her lobby waiting for food, she stopped and used her own money to help my son out. Incredible! I didn’t quite catch her name so will be going in on Friday to see if I can find her to thank her! Incredible person!“

“Amazing place filled with amazing staff, great food, great vibes and home to some of the best karaoke nights! There's something for everyone here whether you like arcade games or singing your heart out or working on your axe throwing skills!!“

“Our pilgrimage to Our Lady of Guadalupe Shrine concluded with lunch at Culina Mariana Cafe at the door of the hill!
It was an amazing experience.
The piazza panini was delightfully delicious! 🤤
The service was friendly and professional.
I would recommend this lil gem of a cafe, if your pilgrimaging to this shrine or simply visiting.“

“Stayed here for work Sept , Oct and it is just great. The staff is very nice! There is a small pool and a hot-tub glass windows to see the river. Its nice place to sit when its cold. The Bar looks out on the river. Breakfast lunch and dinner with lounge and tv's in the booths. The patio outside is great they have a fire pit and allow smoking. Its a short walk to everything and a short drive to anything. Parking can be a problem in La Crosse its best to walk, ride bike etc. The rooms are nice the location is perfect.“

“Features’s catered our daughter’s graduation party; the food was fantastic! Tricia responded quickly to questions and was super helpful. Thank you!“

“A little disappointing for Culver’s. The chicken was rubbery and small. For a “new” chicken sandwich I was really excited to try it. The chicken breast was little bitty and was so rubbery to chew, it almost gagged me. I couldn’t three bites in and I couldn’t finish.“

“seeing Craig Culver on my way out! in person!!! oh and the custard!!!“

“The staff was friendly, food was awesome, prices very reasonably. Comfty atmosphere. Will eat here over and over again.“

“The best food in the area. Phenomenal service. They really know what they're doing for flavors. Would love to see a full tasting menu out of them, possibly with wine options. I might even come back to the area for it. Outstanding food. The highlight of our short trip.“

“If you want the best service, menu, food, drinks, and atmosphere with a beautiful view of the river then Red Pines is the only place with it all. Always the first place we stop when we come to Onalaska. I was fortunate to have a family who had a surprise birthday party for me at Red Pines. Best Birthday party!!! Had a great time with great food, drinks, service and especially family and friends. Thanks you all. See you next trip.“

“We love Diggers. Best in La Crosse. But a recent trip let us down. The classic bread crack to locals was gone. Fayzes provided it and they closed. Today People’s Food Coop brought Fayzes bakery back. Hoping the wonderful bread is restored!“

“Very relaxing, everyone so friendly and food was fabulous! We stayed at The Radisson to see the Rotary Lights. After, we went back, freshened up and went downstairs for dinner, very convenient. We asked to be by the windows with a view the lights while we ate but no seats were available and our table was set at a different location, waiting for us to finish our drinks. The gentleman that seated us, moved our table to a window seat that had just opened up without even asking before we went in. We were very impressed that he did this and it made our meal that much more enjoyable. The food was fantastic and would highly recommend. This is our 4th year going there for the lights and we would do it any other way! Enjoy!!!“

“We went there last night for dinner. Natelie was out waitress, and outstanding doesn't even come close to her service. She went above and beyond, she made the whole experience wonderful. The food was perfectly seasoned, veggies were crisp. The chicken cordon Bleu was mouth watering. Very impressed. Will definitely be back“

“Food and service was great. My husband and I were visiting our son in La Crosse and stopped in for an early supper. It was so good!“

“Great food … huge menu, fast service and nice clean place. La Crosse staple!“

“Wow! Wait was pretty long (Sunday around 11), but honestly the best omelette and real potatoe pancakes I’ve ever had!!! So worth the wait.“

“Lots of variety and the ladies working were super friendly! We will be back.“

“Awesome food and people. Flame grilled bar burgers made to order everyday. Great regular weekly specials. Fry bread tacos are amazing on Tuesdays (big as you head), fried chicken on Wednesdays is the best in the entire coulee region, and the beer battered fish and shrimp on Fridays is awesome. Get the beer battered shrimp; they’re huge! Everything is made fresh to order. Love Barb the owner too. Worth the drive.“

“Love it here! Free popcorn before eating! Fast & friendly staff (Tanya)! Great coffee served in a cafe'! Eat in the lounge area (lots of kids in other area).“

“excellent food, but I really miss the wraps! please bring them back!!!“

“Moved to LAX 2 years ago when I retired. Found DR’s and since gone in 4-5 times a week for lunch or dinner. Spent on the average of $800.00/month since. Forgot to pay my $15.47 bill the other night and walked out. Came in the next day and was told of my mistake by their manager Kevin and told I was kicked out for life. I didn’t get into a fight, get into an argument, I forgot to pay my bill. That being said everyone there knows I will come in the next day or tomorrow and would make good of it. Please stay away from this place. Cannot believe a fine man Dave Skogen(Festival Foods) is associated with this place?“

“Great place with a great atmosphere and even better drinks!“

“Staff was very nice and helpful! Food was very delicious! Good for the traveler and locals too!“

“Hands down best bar on the Northside. Alyssa the bartender is absolutely beautiful inside and out. She truly makes each patron seen and comfortable. She's extremely down to earth it's like talking to an old friend. Great karaoke with Monica and Donnie too . :)“

“My girlfriend and I went there yesterday. It's one of those places when you walk in and you feel at home. All the people were friendly.Then there was the food. Amazing!!! I just had cheeseburger and fries. All the burgers are a half pound. My girlfriend had the ultimate BLT. 12 strips of bacon on that thing. Wow We highly recommend going to Angry's.“

“Some of the best food in town!“

“Cool place. I love the old musical instruments displayed. Best chicken dumpling soup ever, but the best part by far is the friendly and accommodating staff. I have a family member who is at Mayo a lot and often stops there for lunch. He loves it and said that its impossible to be in a bad mood there because the staff are so friendly. This place is local gem.“

“The prices here are really good, but don't expect to be blown away by the taste. It's very simple, with the most creative items being in their omelets. I had the 4x2, which I feel is the best value. We were served quickly, and everything except the cook on the eggs came out as expected.

Parking: Sometimes there's overflow from the hotel, so you may have to fight for a space. A full parking lot here doesn't necessarily mean a long wait.“

“Great Place to gather with friends and family!! :)“

“We have had great customer service at Crooked Pint! Tonight there was difficulties in the kitchen which led to an unexpected long wait- our waitress & the manager handled the situation so gracefully. They acknowledged the mishap and comped us without our party even speaking up. This was our 3rd time eating at Crooked Pint as a family & it has been a great experience each time. Our kids look forward to dining here and so do we. The food is great and the service is too!“

“Stopped by Alpine while on vacation and sat outside and ordered food. The view is amazing. The service and food was excellent. What a nice quaint rustic establishment.“
