“Food was above average , a little pricey for sides. Must say though it’s the first time I’ve been hit with an up charge for the olives in my martini. Really???“

“We’ve driven by this beautiful home many times, and we decided to stop for lunch. The owner Christine was very knowledgeable about the meals and healthy choices. Very personable, inviting and enjoyed hearing more about the home. We will stop for breakfast soon!!“

“Fabulous dynamic experience. Every single person working there was upbeat, pleasant, truly a joy to work with. We were greeted enthusiastically, and I felt like we were the only customers in their full diner. I enjoyed the food-tried the Elvis burger—I’ll get it again. It was a wonderful experience.“

“The food is amazing! Incredible flavors. Excellent service l. Tasty cocktails. Casual yet elegant atmosphere. Highly recommend!“

“We had such a nice lunch today at around 2pm, the food was fantastic. The main reason for leaving a review though, is for the wonderful service we received from our waitress. She was so friendly and helpful, and we appreciated her very much. Her manner was pleasant and upbeat and we left with full bellies and huge smiles. We will definitely be back!! 💜“

“Just wow. came in sat at the far right side of the bar. Not busy but steady. Sat waiting for 8 to 10 minutes for a bartender. Obviously she was too engrossed in a regulars conversation. got up and left. Did we miss something? Certainly not service. The Phoenix across the street definitely wins. Pretty sad that you can't even get acknowledged. She was on the chunky side. Tan shorts and T. There's plenty of local places to go.“

“We had another great meal. Best cheese curds ever!!! And the desserts. So good.Excellent service as well“

“Awesome food, awesome atmosphere. Everyone is super nice and welcoming!“

“Excellent food and service. Revere’s is our go-to place.“

“Mobley burger is a favorite of mine, as well as the cheese curds!“

“Beautiful, relaxing place even when it’s busy. Cocktails are very nice on and off the menu! Cheers!“

“We celebrated our wedding and retirement at Knuckleheads last Saturday. Had about 100 guests. Scott and his crew were amazing. They made planning and set up very easy. The food was amazing. Everyone loved it! The girls behind the bar did a fantastic job taking care of our thirsty guests. We got several compliments of how great a place Knuckleheads is. Thank you for everything!“

“I live on the far south east corner of Milwaukee County, and I am always on the lookout for a great burger. I was fortunate enough to stumble upon Sweet Dreams in Hartford, I have made the drive five times since finding this hamburger stand earlier in the summer, the burgers are that good. And the best news, last time we were there we were told they are planing on being open this winter. If you’re looking for a great burger, amazing fall colors a great staff to take your order. I can’t recommend Sweet Dreams enough.“

“Great place Friendly service, wonderful owners.“

“Wonderful brunch experience with friends-food was delicious“

“We wanted to find a new place to try while here for a conference and we are so happy that we came here. I got the chicken littles as an appetizer and my husband got soup and immediately we were impressed. Followed up by steak for him and a Parmesan crusted grilled cheese for me kept the amazing food going. Then the desserts brought us over the finish line to an amazing meal. Everyone was so kind and helpful and we will definitely come back.“

“Food was incredible! Our server Claire was FANTASTIC! 10/10 recommend for a top tier dinner experience!“

“We had the cheese curds and chicken sandwich. They were some of the best curds I had, but the sandwich blew me away. It was so hot and juicy. They also were able to make me a traditional bourbon old fashioned for me which I know isn’t the norm in Wisconsin.“

“OUTSTANDING food, every time! Also great service, even when dealing with shortages. This is a (somewhat secret) GEM in this community!! My husband and I LOVE the Mexican Skillet! The fish fry is also great!!“

“My husband and I had dinner at Twisted Fire, Oconomowoc, WI on Thursday, June 17, 2022. It was fabulous! I ordered Truffle Fries, Chorizo Stuffed Dates wrapped in bacon & pipperada sauce = sooo delish! I have to go back and order these again! Out of this world amazing! I also ordered the Tuna Special which was grilled to perfection and came with baked small potatoes and baby broccoli tips all prepared just right. My Husband ordered the Italian Pizza with Breadsticks. He also raved about his choices. We want to give a shout out to our server Colton who was knowledgeable, and so fun! The whole night was worth every pretty penny spent there. We can’t wait to go back! This was my second time there and both times they didn’t disappoint. Kudos to you Twisted Fire for beautiful atmosphere and a ton of Gluten Free choices. The whole experience is worth going back again!“

“The minute we walked in the door, Christie handled everything with such grace. She was especially considerate in helping my 90 year old father get settled comfortably. It was a busy Sunday, and our waitress was helping a larger group, she stepped in and delivered our drinks promptly and even grabbed dirty plates from another table on her way out of the room. It was clear she genuinely cares about guests and works hard to support her team. That on top of the amazing food, we will be back for sure!“

“This is by far the best Culver's we've been to. Everyone is always so friendly, especially Heather working the drive thru. Friendly employees like her shouldn't be taken for granted, they are what makes your restaurant stand out above the rest! Food is always fresh!“

“We had a great breakfast! The breakfast sandwich was great and had a perfect mixture, I’m still thinking about it! It is a classic diner, not the biggest seating area and the tables definitely are showing some wear and tear, but the food is good.“

“Ww absolutely love the fish fry at Hickory Sticks! They have a family deal that works out perfect for two couples.....Their deck overlooking the golf course is so relaxing, and great to use when the weather is nice....The beer batter fish are nice sized pieces, and is plenty for the average person....Great choices for sides, including some amazing mashed potatoes, glazed carrots(My Favorite), and potato pancakes in addition to fries......Give it a try! One of my favorites in the area ..“

“The young people that work in this store are always so pleasant, friendly and kind. Great work ethic! It’s really a pleasure to stop by and grab something to eat or drink. Thank you!“

“Stopped in yesterday for lunch. Was busy! Maddy, our server was super friendly, helpful and quick. We’ve not eaten here before, she helped us pick out some fan favorites. The margarita pizza was AMAZING! Crust so good, sauce just a hint of spice, fresh tomatoes and mozzarella. Would I normally order this at a bar like this? No. But I will be craving it and coming back again! Hubby had the Reuben, said it was also awesome! Thank you! Will be back.“

“We haven't been able to eat at George Webb since the Hartford location closed. Since we were in Oconomowoc we stopped for breakfast. What an amazing staff you have. You even helped my husband by letting him have a few jelly packs for my mil in the nursing home. Thank you so much for making me smile and btw, the food was great!! Karen St George“

“Just a PSA - I am normally a vanilla based ice cream flavor type of gal. Tonight my husband got the Flavor of the Day - Dark Chocolate PB Crunch. It was the most delicious custard I have ever had. I will go there every single time I see that flavor.“

“A treasure to find this place. Great food. Great atmosphere. Great service. We will become weekend regulars and want to try just about everything on the menu. The Patty Melt was the best we have ever had anywhere!“

“Great place to stop at and enjoy a nice cocktail with good company 😁 From the other Tiffany and her Mom“

“Juan was the best bartender ever!! Tatum was our server and she was also amazing. They not only provide excellent service but are so engaging and friendly, and went above and beyond to make my friends 25th the best day!“

“I was charged for the wrong order and waited 15 minutes for my order“

“My 7 yo daughter and I stopped in today grab some lunch for the first time. Our server was Christina and she was simply amazing! We never had to request for a refill and she made sure we had everything we needed. She offered helpful suggestions, too. Children's menu was great with lots of options and the menu has lots of variety as well. I did get the Artichoke dip which was the best I've had. 10/10 and we'll stop again when we're in the area.“

“Stopped by for dinner on a Friday night. Got a table right away even though they were pretty busy. However, we were told due to the many in person and online orders, any food orders would take 45 minutes. And it did, we got drinks and just waited. Would have been nice for a basket of chips or something but it's fine.

The food was pretty good, ordered burgers and wings. Burgers were cooked perfectly. Wings were really good too. Service was great, very friendly and checked on us often. Would definitely go back, just be prepared there might be a wait.“

“Shanahan’s has great drinks, tasty sandwiches, salads & breakfast options, along with amazing baked goods and the best homemade soups!!! I highly recommend their cinnamon rolls & today’s SW Chicken soup was sooo delicious.“

“I was at the Culver’s in Waukesha on Grandview this last Friday evening, it was very busy. I was immediately impressed by the amount of staff that was there ready to serve. This was a young staff, and they were attentive, professional, and proactive in reaching out to customers to see if they had been helped or needed anything. A woman returned with an error in her order, and she was taken care of right away in such a kind and courtesy manner. I believe the associate who helped her was named Jade? Kudos to this Culver’s for providing so many employment opportunities, what appears to be a positive work environment, and to this wonderful staff for providing such great customer service!“

“The fresh bread, potato pancakes, and bourbon baked cod were PHENOMENAL. I will definitely be back. Staff was top-notch and very attentive.“

“Unexpectedly great.
Picked the plane randomly when deciding where we wanted to go for a Friday fish fry that we hadn't tried before and ended up here in the basement of an American legion.
The drinks were strong, the food was ready very fast and very good, like surprisingly good! The server was on point. It is in a bar so keep that in mind.“

“Go every Monday for special hamburger offering. Great food, good service and always a pleasure to eat at Sideliners!! Great staff, especially Sid, who makes everyone feel welcome!! Give it a try!!“

“😍Super people and great food for a good price in a clean environment!“

“The Delafield American Legion is your home away from home. Friendly atmosphere, you always leave making new friends. They offer food, drinks, and have a hall available to rent for special events. The patrons and staff are very friendly. We have spent quite a few days hanging out here, as well as been to a few events put on by The American Legion. Good place to spend time and make a few new friends when in town.“

“I met my current girlfriend at this location 18 years ago, and used to frequent here a lot before moving out of town. We stopped in after a concert in Milwaukee on Saturday and the food was honestly better than I remembered and we had a good conversation with the young man serving. If only Webbs could take root in Madison!“

“Let’s start with 5 stars***** We visited Tally’s Tap on Wednesday October 8, 2025. This was our first visit. We spoke to a man on the way in, and he recommended the BBQ Ribs which was the ‘Homemade Dinner’ special - his name was Stan (a once a week regular). Inside we were promptly seated, and it was busy, with a full parking lot. Mike was our great waiter, and we also met Chad (another super friendly and knowledgeable waiter). I ordered a full rack of ribs, with Mac and cheese, fresh green beans, and corn bread for $24 (I think). Stan and Chad were right - the ribs were super tender, great BBQ sauce. I shared them with my husband and daughter and we all felt they were absolutely outstanding. Corn bread was very tasty as was the Mac and cheese. My husband ordered a wrap with grilled portobello, and a cilantro sauce - he said it was good. My daughter ordered a salad, with fried chicken sliced on top, and substituted the menu dressing for the green goddess. Everyone enjoyed their food. It was a lovely first visit, and we will be back! Thanks to the employees, and owners for making this such a great experience. By the way - I am very picky. I know good food because I worked in some great restaurants on the East Coast. It is tough to have me really love a meal - but you guys made that happen!“

“Amazing lunch & it’s my sons favorite place in pewaukee - he lives 5 minutes away ❤️“

“great food and friendly staff“

“Read reviews and went. Excellent service and food. Will be back!“

“Stopped in for lunch and was glad I did. Friendly service from the jump—felt like a place where everyone knows each other, but newcomers are still welcome. Locals at the bar, couple of regulars playing games in the corner, and the staff chatting like it’s just another day in paradise.

It’s not quite a dive bar, but has that same laid-back, no-BS charm. Heard good things about the steak sandwich—can confirm it lives up to the hype. Solid lunch spot with a comfortable vibe, decent menu, and just enough grit to keep it real.“

“great place good food we came into town hungry the cook was still around and made us a pizza after the kitchen was closed for a couple hrs..the bartender is a sweet lady the customers we met were nice.stop in get a drink and some food“
