Came here to try the hot beef sandwich and saw they had daily soup. Small while in the wall bar with a few tables. Even though we my minor (17) sat at the bar. Was ignored by bartender lady at first and man. Was going to walk out till she offhand said -Can I help you with something? Yes we'd like a menu please. -Sign is in the way back with food on the menu. Since I saw online there was soup and sandwich option. what kind of soup do you have today? -split pea n ham Ok I'll take 2 hot beefs and one split pea. Also a bloody Mary and DR pepper please. To go but we'll eat it here. -k Then the man says - IDs, he didn't ask other people in the bar. Told him she's a minor. -He right away tells me she can't be in here. I said ok I'll just take our food and we'll eat on the patio area before we leave. Since I ordered a bloody Mary. Which was delicious. They gave me paper bag and two messy sandwiches in wrapped wax paper. The soup was mostly runny broth with only two tiny pieces of ham and no peas. I had to go back in and get ignored for other people first just to get some silverware. Had to ask for the hot mustard that they say they offer. Sandwiches were good, I knew they would be messy so not the issue. Just felt uncomfortable being there. When I came back in and I was waiting for the silverware looked over and some older patrons were sitting at some tables with their two 6 and 8 years old children eating etc. They must only allow 50 - 60 years old to sit inside? It's fine.
But if they want to keep getting business after their regulars aren't around anymore, probably should get a new friendly bartender and not shoo customers away. Price seemed high for watery bottom of the barrel soup.

Super easy going dive bar with the best sandwiches! I had the Ham and cheese and it was awesome! I tried the beef and WOW so good. Definitely a dive place with a diamond inside! I can't wait to go back!

Couldn’t recommend this bar enough. Every time I’m visiting Eau Claire I’m sure to stop here. Bartenders are fantastic, vibes are always great and there’s a punch card for pitchers?!

Always a favorite, a must stop when I'm in town.

Cool little how in the wall bar/restaurant... Ask about pricing before you order but I recommend the hot ham and cheese sandwich 😁

Legendary hot ham never disappoints.

Staff was quick to get anything you needed. Very reasonable pricing for a sandwich.
Stopped in to grab some roast beef sandwiches to go. In my wife’s words,” they lived up to the hype!

Classic local dive bar that been around since ‘49. I had the hot ham and cheese, tried the hot beef and split pea soup. Everything was way over salted, and I like salt on my food. I couldn’t eat the split pea soup as it was so salty. Good prices and portions. Very small plate is provided, more like a large coaster for the messy sandwich. The beef has some sort of gravey that makes the sandwich mushy and soaks through the bun. This place has a nice atmosphere, and I’m sure many have locals have fond memories. However, for such a small menu, food is pretty bad. I think the hot beef/ham might be slightly better served open faced. Very nice bar, but the food is subpar. Do not recommend.

I hadn't been here in decades. I was very pleased that the hot beef & bean soup were as good as they were 50 years ago . Same recipes, yummy!
I love the hot ham and house mustard.
