“I had ate here tonight for the first time as we are from out of town. I am SO glad we found the 5 O’clock club. First, our server Melissa was amazing. Even though she was busy, she gave us the back story on the restaurant which made the experience that much better! How the OG Grandma Mary’s great grandson is now the chef, HOW COOL!! now for the food, I saw duck wings with a cherry sauce for an appetizer and immediately new I wanted to try them and I’m so glad I did. Probably a new favorite! Then I ordered salmon for dinner which was cooked perfectly and not to mention the French onion soup was to die for! We had 3 people at our table, everyone loved their food. Thank you all for a wonderful experience!! If I’m ever in the area, I will be back!!“

“First time here. Took a long bike ride with some friend and we were hungry for some ice cream.

Food:
When we first entered it didn't look like they had much in the way of ice cream. They had lot of different choices including cones, sundaes, and shakes. We ended up getting a couple of Turtle Sundaes, a PB Lovers Sundae and Pumpkin Shake. Took a few minutes, and had it delivered to the table. All of them were excellent. They looked great, had plenty of fillings, nice whip cream, and the cherry on top. It looked like it was made with care.

Service:
Not exactly sure, but I think the person waiting on us was the owner. Super friendly and helpful. Did a good job of explaining the different sundaes. Delivered the food to the table with a sense of urgency (don't want the whip cream to melt).

Atmosphere:
The place is part of a larger strip mall like building. It's on the end, and has an outside area with tables. It was a little cool, so we opted to sit inside. Big tables for groups of 4. Big windows with lots of natural light coming through. There were seveal other tables there, and people were having friendly conversations. The noise level was good.

Glad we stopped. We hear they have good burgers, so we will need to try those next time.“

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

“The Crafty Cow is a fun spot for a quick bite. We ordered the Hot Honey Cheese Curds as an app, and had the True Grit Burger, Dill Dip Chicken sandwich, and the Nashville Hot Ramen. All items were fantastic. The curds had a Hot honey glaze that was delicious. The sandwiches were huge! The Dill dip was so flavorful. Burger was done right, with substantial toppings and crispy fries. The Ramen bowl was a unique twist, with a great flavor profile. Definitely a must visit in Oconomowoc!“

“Great place Friendly service, wonderful owners.“

“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!!“

“Wonderful brunch experience with friends-food was delicious“

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

“Went out of our way home to stop at Machine shed for the third time while on vacation last fall. ❣️❣️“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“I’ve been coming here for years. Absolutely love everything, from the coffee to the food, the music, the atmosphere. I’ve brought all my friends and family here and Nobody has ever had a bad experience. The owner and employees are lovely, there’s really no better coffee shop I’ve ever been to. :)“

“After my recent visit I just knew this special girl needed a shoutout! Cora is an exceptional waitress! Her warm, welcoming smile and attentive service made our dining experience truly special. She was knowledgeable about the menu, offered great recommendations, and made sure we had everything we needed without being intrusive. Cora's friendly demeanor and dedication to her customers make her a standout in the service industry.“

“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.“

“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.“

“I stopped in for lunch today at Billy Ho's and had a great experience.
I had a chance to meet Billy while I was there — really nice guy who clearly takes pride in what he does.
Since I missed out on a Reuben on St. Patrick’s Day, I went with Billy’s Famous Reuben and added a side of tots. The sandwich was exactly what I was hoping for and the tots rounded it out well.
Billy Ho’s has been around since 2007 and feels like one of those local spots that has built a loyal following over the years. It’s tucked under the American Legion, so it can be easy to miss if you’re not looking for it.
The menu has a good variety with burgers, sandwiches, fish fry, pizza, and I’ve heard their wings are something you shouldn’t skip.
If you’re looking for a solid lunch spot in Pewaukee, WI, this is definitely worth stopping in for.“

“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!!“

“Linda our waitress was the best at our mother's day brunch. We always had refills before we even asked. She made me feel so special on my day. Even more than my kids, lol. Please give her a raise.“

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

“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!“

“Whitney is the best server we have had, not only this location but anywhere we have visited. Whitney is kind, understanding, and very attentive. She anticipates the customers needs being quick and efficient in her efforts to please. We appreciate her tremendously. This Pewaukee location has to be the best. Management truly cares about the guests as well as her people.“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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 ❤️“

“My go to is Steak and Eggs and ive been trying places out for years all over. Waukesha, Milwaukee and everything in between. But this place is the best. So consistent and always good quality. Good employees, usually the same faces over the years. Good place to eat with family or solo everytime.“

“I have never ordered kid's meals from Culver's and did not know that the coupon on the paper sack needed to be presented for the free scoop of ice cream. The counter clerk, a young man, and the manager--another young man were very accommodating and understood.my ignorance about the process and looked up my order for the grandkids online and honored the promise of a free scoop. THIS is customer service and I applaud the entire staff for their high standards. --From a Southern Grandma visiting Wisconsin“

“I stopped in there this morning on my way to Milwaukee for a coffee. The ladies were so friendly, I made a point of stopping back on the way home. I'll definitely be back ❤️“

“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!“

“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.“

“I have Never had a bad experience at this restaurant. They make you feel at home! Very friendly and efficient staff! Entrees and desserts are large and Verry delicious!! I would highly recommend this restaurant“

“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.“

“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“
