“Great food, friendly staff. Small issue with my order, but they immediately made it up to me without me even saying anything.

I got the chicken tacos, which were fantastic. Ordered carryout, so the food in the attached photo probably comes out even better when you get it at the restaurant.

Would definitely eat here again if I'm ever back in Eau Claire.“

“The best bar, but wish they had fans in the bar. It gets way to hot in there. Need it cool due to my asthma and copd. Would be much appreciated“

“Went for breakfast this morning. I had the all meat skillet with white toast. It was one of the best by far I’ve ever had in my entire life. My wife had a pancakes., they were the size of the table. They were huge!!! do yourself a favor and go to this place. The food is great and the service is even better and the prices are fantastic.“

“My mornings as of late have been spent reflecting on all I'm grateful for. Not due to any holiday traditions or faith or that, but just to simply go over the details and experience in microdosing all the new people Ive met, the new places Im walking, the new days Im waking up to sunshine and a smile. That time has been spent at this AWESOME (not so little) WONDERFULLY FRIENDLY and DELICIOUS Cafe for Breakfast and Brunch called The Nucleus ⚛ Their staff is unbelieveably polite, considerate and lgbtqii+ inclusive all around! This has been a place Ive only started in but I already feel its now a regular haunt and a spot if you're in the area cant be missed if you want to get up on the right piece of toast~ [ALSO: Vegan Options!!] Take a morning and treat yo self. Go to: The Nucleus⚛ Eau Claire, WI.“

“Amazing Friday fish fry. The homemade tartar sauce was outstanding as well as the coleslaw. Definitely 10/10!!!“

“This was a pretty new location — and my very first visit to a Culver’s! Gotta say, I was genuinely impressed with the staff, the service, the menu, and the food.

We tried the Roasted Garlic Bacon Pub Burger, the Reuben Sandwich, and a ButterBurger for the kids. Everything was fresh, tasty, and well put together.

Value for money? Excellent. The whole experience just felt right — friendly people and good food.

Definitely not my last visit to a Culver’s! 🍔👏“

“Thank you to the amazing staff at Culver’s tonight!!! I went through the drive-up and ordered my food and realized I didn’t have my wallet. I asked the employee at the window if he could put my order on hold while I ran home and got it. He told me “No”. He grabbed one of his coworkers and they told me not to worry about it. I offered to call with my card when I got home or to come pay for it tomorrow and they told me they were taking care of it! Being the crazy world it is right now, they were wearing masks so I couldn’t see their faces to remember who they were... but I saw the kindness they showed me and that is something I will remember! 🥰“

“We are regularly at Randy's, about every Friday you'll find us there. We have never had a bad meal,always plenty of food and the prices are very fair. The wait staff are always friendly, our food comes out fast. I would definitely recommend Randy's for a good meal, breakfast, lunch,and dinner all good.“

“We always look for the "mom and pop" places. We aren't from the area, but we make it a point to come to Chick-a-dee's when we're in town for Rock Fest. The service and food has been great.“

“Culver's is the quintessential Midwestern fast casual restaurant. Good food, made well, with friendly service and they don't skimp on anything. If you've never been I recommend checking them out and if you haven't gone lately..... what are you waiting for??“

“We celebrated a graduation at Hangar 54 this past weekend. They were so accommodating, the food was great and wonderful atmosphere!! Highly recommend!“

“My husband and I are new members of Midwest Meals. I was a bit hesitant at first but I’m so happy I tried them. We’ve been ordering from them for two weeks now, both pick up and delivery. The service is wonderful (very friendly and helpful folks), the food is really good and very fresh and they even offer home delivery at a very affordable price! I’ve even lost six pounds in these two weeks just by replacing my lunch with one of their meals! I highly recommend this place!“

The room had the perfect setup allowing for ease at getting food and drinks. Our bartender Hannah was great!!“

“PV has great burgers of the month and the chef with the long hair is a maestro“

“I was so impressed by the staff here! We just left after a very hectic early morning Packer game and I was just so impressed by how amazing the service was! Despite the large crowd they were attentive, fast and so welcoming. It seemed like they all genuinely enjoyed it all when it would have been easy to feel overwhelmed. Plus the food and Bloody Mary’s were delicious! 10/10 would recommend for a game or just a few drinks! Will be back!“

“We enjoy the bands and the oldies on Sunday.“

“We were in here tonight for supper. Our waitress Riana was excellent. She made sure the food and drinks we ordered were choice not food allergies. I am sure on this snowy night they would have rather been home but Riana was friendly and cheerful. The food was great as always but service stood above that. Thanks.“

“Absolutely amazing! Staff and food! Highly recommend!“

“Great live music venue bringing phenomenal local and national bands supporting REAL LIVE MUSIC. Food and drinks are also awesome the newly renovated bar looks amazing, so stop in to grab a bite & drink.“

“Good food glad it’s back again“

“We stopped in last night after a sporting event, the female bartender was friendly. The food was great! We had burgers and fries, good flavor. The bun was toasted, we also had cheese curds, we got a good amount. We didn’t think anything was greasy. I complimented the cook and he said he was new, but the bartender was helping out. They both did great, would come back! Sorry no pictures.“

“Great Service too! Love going to the Fox Run!“

“Definitely one of the finer photo backgrounds in the general Wisconsin area 👍😎“

“A really great dining experience. We went for Sunday brunch and loved the food, he service and the atmosphere. The “Brunch Burger” I ordered came with delicious breakfast potatoes and delicious homemade bread toasted perfectly! Would 100% recommend!“

“The food was just amazing and the Server was very respectful. I had a great experience here. I had a smash burger and the taste was over all an amazing blend. I also had a sundae and nice combination at that, Carmel chocolate and whipped topping. The server Zach was a well mannered guy. Will be coming again. ❤️“

“The seasoning is overpowering. It's not a place for older adults who need to limit their salt intake.“

“I've never had a good experience at this restaurant. haven't been here in years. I decided to swing in for a quick salad after my workout. I got there at 12:50 PM on a Tuesday. I was able to order right away, I didn't order a beverage. At 1:00 the couple behind me sat down, at 1:05 the couple behind me ordered. At 1:10 the couple behind me got their order(S) I ordered a chicken Caesar salad and was solo. I had other oligations going on I had to get to, I figured it wouldn't take that long for a chicken salad. As I got to the festival foods doors, The manager came out of famous Dave's and yelled, "Don't you want your food?" 😂 ....Yeah I sure did but not 40 minutes later sorry not sorry. Thanks for nothing!“

“First time customer here. Excellent entree—Gorgonzola penne with peppers.Great staff!“

“Nothing like seeing a manager walk from the building to his car with a case of beer while trying to go through the drive thru 🤣 classy arbys, classy“

“I came up from Madison to see Kat and the Hats. Amazing entertainment, drinks and friendly staff! Highly recommend!“

“Best staff and food. Luke is the best.“

“Friendly service but did seem a bit frazzled/made some mistakes with our order but resolved them quickly. Appetizer came out pretty quickly, food was decent (ordered off the dinner menu - avoid their IHOP menu!). Steak was cooked perfectly to order and had good flavor, chicken was a bit overcooked and didn't come out sizzling like the steak. Overall a pretty good chain-resturant experience, just seriously avoid the breakfast menu at this location because it sucks (have ordered it here before and was super disappointed). Seemed like other tables around us that ordered IHOP menu items had issues with their orders.“

“Grandson and I had an amazing time today! Great service and food.“

“Our waitress was fantastic & recommended the spicy ranch with the pickle cheese curds which was so good & the Philly calzone was delish & no joke was GIANT! My husband & I could've definitely split one, but we both had half a calzone left for lunch the next day. Great experience & we will definitely be back for another huge calzone!“
