Not many people, pretty calm. Had the fish tacos, which were not very flavorful, but I ordered a lot of stuff off of it. Fried pickles were good. Pop was not very carbonated, but obviously it didn't take away from the experience. Probably wouldn't go again, but that's just me.

It's hard to find grass fed meat at restaurants these days but the Lowbrow has the goods! My burger was cooked to perfection and the fries were amazing too.

This might have been the best restaurant experience I’ve had in the last decade. The waiter was SO nice and accommodating. He saw I was wearing a backpack and asked if he could clear off a table in the corner for me to do some work. It was so nice ? The market salad was also incredible (sweet potato, cranberry and goat cheese) ???

Wow the food was incredible. We loved the burst of flavors, the way the eggs were cooked, the sauces, cheeses, and the pancakes were so fluffy. It hit the spot! We also felt like the service was very friendly and attentive. Also the ambiance was nice and we loved the murals. I would like to go back and try more from the menu!

Ahhh...Valentine's Day 2024. My wife and I thought we enjoy a simple dinner at home with wine so we each ordered The Lowbrow Grilled Cheese. Traditionally, it's great...with bacon, avocado, tomato, Wisconsin cheese or a variety of extras you can indulge...but this time it was well below expectations and past experience. They used a fraction of the cheese they usually use...perhaps 1-slice. The two sandwiches differed greatly in size and the "extras" seemed to be added sparingly. To add to this disappointment, this simple "to go" meal took 2-hours to make (online order) and was 15-minutes late. The restaurant was 1/3 full so I can only speculate there may be a manpower issue because this was not our normal experience. One additional oddity was that recently on Super Bowl Sunday, we were entertaining and planned to order a bunch of their nachos plates as they really make a great plate of nachos with extras....but to my surprise, website ordering was down. I called and the voicemail said we reached them "after hours" and not to leave a voicemail. It was the middle of the day. Out of curiosity, I tried to place an order on the next day...Monday and it was the same thing so I asked the host if they were closed those days and the response was YES....because Sunday was the Super Bowl and Monday was an employee party. There was no mention of this on their voicemail or social media. It seems weird that on one of the biggest "at home" foodie days (Super Bowl), they would be closed. Perhaps they could have put that on their social media. IG posts are 3 years old and FB post not up to date. This used to be a great place for a burger, nachos, etc.... BTW....the host was wonderful and attentive so that was a positive.

Never have I had homemade fish sticks, but can't wait to have them again. Just excellent and the fries were crispy and salty...bonus points for that

Nice place. Kinda small but the food was great and the service was as well! Excellent fries, tasty pulled pork and the chocolate stout cake is amazing!
