“Had our food door dashed so I can't speak to the environment but the food was delicious. Their pretzels with beer cheese checked every box for me. I could eat that with anything. Chicken strips could have been seasoned better and there were some tougher pieces of meat but all in all, would give it another shot.“

“There are several dining establishments in this semi-rural county that I like but this one has a warmth and ambience that can’t be beat anywhere in Southern Wisconsin. The food is not fancy but always good. Today I stopped by for a solo lunch — spicy black bean burger with blue cheese, veggies and chips. There’s always at least one cold brew on tap that rounds out my food experience. Long tables accommodate groups or facilitate making new friends. Most of the time though I’m drawn in the evening for dinner and music. The back room has been known statewide and beyond for decades, as a (somewhat bohemian) destination for audiences and performers. The genre is often folk or singer-songwriter but ranges beyond. We’ll-known artists sometimes have the Carpe on their calendar. Owner/chef/performer Bill Camplin delivers witty introductions for the acts when not performing himself. Sign up early with Kitty for a choice seat. Music lovers owe themselves a visit to this casual and intimate establishment.“

“The very definition of a hole-in-the-wall greasy-spoon diner. 1. Limited counter seating? Check. 2. Locals-only regulars? Check. 3. Outdated décor? Check. 4. Sassy server? Check. 5. Huge portions? Check. 6. Great food cooked expertly? Check. 7. Absurdly low prices? Check. Setting foot in Scottie's is like stepping back in time...in the best way possible. Finding a seat is pure luck; show up early or be prepared to wait, but know that you will be waiting outside, because there isn't an inch of spare room inside. If you do find a coveted spot, grab it because it won't be there long - and be prepared to rub shoulders and knees with the person next to you. Don't worry; that's all part of the experience. You might not know them when you first arrive, but you'll be best friends by the time you leave. Pro tip: the cook is not Scottie. There is no Scottie anymore. Presumably there was a Scottie once, but his whereabouts are unknown. At least to me. Jackie is amazing. If you've seen "Alice," she is the embodiment of Flo. I'm kinda shocked I haven't heard her tell someone to "Kiss my grits!" yet. She delivers good-natured sass just as frequently as plates of steaming hot food. Again, all part of the experience. Your food is cooked to order in front of you, so you know it's fresh. Even if the place is packed it won't take long, because there are only a handful of seats. And about that food: it's damn good. You can't go wrong with any of the skillets. The biscuits and gravy are wonderful. The toast, slathered with melted butter? Heavenly. The pancakes are enormous and awesome. The coffee, hot and delicious. Best of all, when you're handed your check, you will invariably mutter out loud, "That's it?!" The prices are insanely low. They're what you might have paid for breakfast in the 1980s. Two people can easily walk out of there stuffed and only $15 poorer. Tip Jackie well. She deserves it. It may be hot in there. It will definitely be cramped in there. You might see a fly or two. You'll leave smelling like grease. But you will be happy and satisfied and already planning your next visit. Besides, like I said... All part of the experience.“

“We go to Stage Coach on occasion. It is always very good. Like many places I don’t stray too far from the things I like. The French onion soups is excellent one of the best I’ve had at a supper club or any restaurant, the sirloin and ribeye are excellent cuts and always done as requested. I love the au gratin potatoes they are just creamy enough without being soupy. I like to add shrimp they aren’t the best in the world, but we’re in WI. I highly advise making a reservation. Great restaurants are a bit hit and miss here so they book up quickly. There isn’t a shortage of restaurants around here, but there is a shortage of consistently great restaurants.“

“We've eaten at some great and some horrible breakfast places. Both of our entrees were really good. I had the crepes and the crepes were thick enough that they didn't fall apart, with fresh blueberries and lots of them and like a massive amount of whipped cream covering them. No syrup needed. Hubby had the biscuits and gravy with poached eggs. He said it was a unique take on a normal dish and it was flavorful. He said it was very yummy, lol. I also had a side of crispy bacon. The server was super friendly, like she treated us like family friendly. It was so refreshing. Prices were reasonable. Definitely give them a try.“

We had a nice seat by the fire, but I imagine in the warmer months it will be just as nice to sit on the patio and look at the lake.“

“I got a full rack of ribs (I took half home for another day). My opinion is that if ribs are actually good, they don't need sauce. These fit that standard. Very good. I like a bit more smoke flavor, but know that can vary quite a bit even with a consistent smoking "plan". Sides were excellent and pretty large portions. I would return the next time I'm in the area.“
