“We - two did not know the area and wanted food that was not franchise food. We happened to be there Friday for fish fry and having in the past tried many many fish fries in Wisconsin this one was wonderful. We LOVED IT!“

“Stopped in for a lunch fish fry on a Friday. We were greeted upon enteting and quickly found a spot to sit. The waitress/bartender was over getting our drink and foof order. The fish was out within 10 minutes, maybe less and was delicious. The 2 pc cod was flaky and had a great tasting batter. The fries were crisp and hot and delicious as well. Small bar, great food and service.“

“We live in Northern Wisconsin and ate here on a trip to visit family. The food was outstanding, the waitress Jacyln (not sure of spelling, sorry!) was very attentive and took care of us in a timely friendly fashion. The atmosphere is casual, which we like because we don't dress up much! We are so happy we found this place and will be sure to return next time we are in the area. OUTSTANDING SERVICE AND FOOD.“

“We Decided to try today while out on a motorcycle ride. We Arrived and walked in and were immediately greeted by staff. The atmosphere was nice and friendly. The staff was friendly. We ordered our drinks and food. We got the Prime Rib Sandwich with onion rings and the Philly Cheesesteak sandwich with fries. Both of the sandwiches were amazing. Very tasty and juicy upon first bite to the Last bite with the right amount of meat and vegetables/mushrooms with it. The fries were just right...not to crispy. The onion rings were a tad overdone and really crispy. Overall the food and drinks were 10/10. We will be back.“

Staff is friendly, attentive and hard working.

“A Sad Return to What Used to Be a Great Spot I first visited the Green Lantern about 10 years ago when I moved to the area, and back then, the food was genuinely enjoyable—good enough that it stuck in my mind all these years. So when my wife and I decided to revisit recently, we were hopeful for a nostalgic and satisfying meal. Unfortunately, what we got was far from it. My wife asked about the fish before ordering and was told it was frozen and cooked—not a great start. She went with a salad instead, which arrived looking tired and withered, like it had been sitting out all day. Limp lettuce and watery dressing don’t exactly make for an appetizing experience. I ordered the 1/2 rack of ribs, expecting at least a decent meal. What I got was a plate of disappointment. There was a pool of greasy brown fat dripping onto the plate, and when I took my first bite, I thought I had just hit a fatty patch. By the fifth bite, I realized—there was no meat, just chewy, rubbery fat slathered in BBQ sauce in an attempt to mask the poor quality. When I politely brought this to the waitress's attention, she relayed the message to the cook. The response? “Ribs are supposed to be fatty.” I’ve eaten hundreds of ribs in my life, and while a bit of marbling is expected, these were inedible. No meat, just fat. What was once a solid local spot has clearly lost its way. If you're looking for a place with quality food and pride in the kitchen, sadly, the Green Lantern is no longer it.“

“The owners and the staff are wonderful. Hamburgers are great! Love the onion rings. In fact, all the food is good.“

“Amazing staff,food & drinks! Always delicious a prices are reasonable 🍕❣️“

“We were looking for a light dinner and found this place in downtown Sun Prairie. Sat right down at the bar and had some nice sandwiches and craft beers on tap. The place was busy but our food arrived promptly and our bartender quickly attended to our drinks.“

“Hayley is amazing and makes a stiff drink!!“

“Great neighborhood tavern! Staffing changes have been made.“

“I attended a friends class reunion. Absolutely wonderful location with a great view. Couldn't give it a five-star because the bartenders were overwhelmed. However they do have a tiki bar on location and it was very easy to get a beverage there.“

“First time dining here. Great food and atmosphere. On a side note… To a beautiful lady. You were the beautiful woman dining—maybe with your mom—at “a restaurant by the river”. We locked eyes, shared a smile, and you held the door for me as we walked out. I wanted to introduce myself but got a little nervous. When you turned around after walking away, I knew I missed my chance. If you see this, I’d love a second one.“

“Sooo delicious and authentic. I had the arepas and a pabellon wrap which was sooo good. The dressing on the Caesar salad was top notch. Our server, Mathias, was so friendly, knowledgeable and help led us through the menu. I wish you had a location in Hudson wi.“

“the best chicken wings around . period. mmmmmmm“

“What a great little hidden gem! Great drinks, gourmet food, amazing staff and we even got to meet the owner, Steve! Very friendly atmosphere. We will definitely be back!!“

“The food and service were fantastic. Great start to a 60th birthday celebration weekend.“

“I would like to give a huge shout out to Varsity Bar and Grill! We kicked off Rachel's 40th Birthday Party at Varsity on Saturday. The food was oh so delicious, the service over the top exceptional, friendly and welcoming. Varsity is everything you could ask for in a small town bar and grill. Thank you to Tony, Ben, Lyle, Jeff and all at Varsity who helped make the party a success! We'll be back!!!“

“Our reception had the perfect setting at Garver. So spacious and flexible in design that every one of our ideas was doable. The staff were so creative and attentive to whatever I wanted. It can be so overwhelming trying to deside but Danelle was so good at helping to nail down our vision and make suggestions that enhanced our vision. Thank you for making this reception a party no one will soon forget. A magical night.“

“Great place for lunch or dinner. Always new specials & the staff is amazing.“

“Loved the atmosphere. Seat yourself. Amazing Cajun Cod, thanks for the recommendation Angel! Looking forward to visiting again!“

“Loved the clam chowder! The mac and cheese smash burger was fantastic!“

“Great lanes and equipment! 15 of us bowled during a company party and the computers worked flawlessly. We enjoyed the graphics- especially the bowling tips. They have plenty of ramps for little kids. We enjoyed all of the food: pizza, potato skins, and nachos.I had a difficult time finding an ideal ball (10#), most of the balls were either 8# or 13#. This was a very popular place for kid's on a Sunday afternoon. As this was a family event, we fit right in. If you don't enjoy noisy children, you may want to stick to evening bowling.“

“Food was great and love the little country atmosphere!“

“Came for the first time for a purse bingo- the owner, Tom, was extremely friendly and welcoming. The bar staff were super attentive and very friendly. It was a fun night out that was reasonably priced, good food and good people“

“We stopped after a trip to Little Amerikka. Service was great. Food was good but not great. They really like the seasoning and salt on the fries and tater tots. Wings were great - Big and tasty. Cooked perfect. Ribeye Sandwich special didn't show cheese but came with cheese. A little chewy. Burger was good but nothing special.“

“Delicious AyCe salad bar and fish fry. We will definitely go back.“

“Great atmosphere best bartenders and drinks!!!! Would never have thought to stop without pub passes so definitely a great pls d to stop guaranteed a good time“
