“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!!“

“We stopped in today, 11/4/26, around 12, noon and were greeted right away and seated. Our waiter, who I didn’t catch his name-I wish I did because he was awesome! We received the best service I’ve EVER experienced anywhere. He made it possible for us to have our lunch with our limited schedule possible today. Very thankful to him. The burgers we ordered were the fried onion smash burgers. His favorite too he said. Delicious! Will definitely be back and will tell our friends and family how wonderful this place is. Thank you also for the surprise sample of cheese curds. The absolute best place to go!“

“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!“

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

“First time here. We ordered fish fry and fish was good! Lightly battered, warm marble rye bread, Cole slaw, choice of potato ( I opted for red skinned mashed which was better than expected), decent tartar sauce. They take reservations which is awesome. We had great service. Drink prices were very reasonable as well. I’d go back!“

“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.“

“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. :)“

“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.“

“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.“

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 appreciate you and I thank you. Hopefully it will continue to be as good as it was today. Delicious!!!!“

“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!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“I stopped at the Culver’s Mukwonago twice on Saturday, October 2, 2026, and the drive thru crew on both stops were fantastic. Kind, accurate and kept that line moving smooth. When I stopped the second time the drive thru line was down the street. Great job guys!!!“

“Read reviews and went. Excellent service and food. 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.“

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

“Great food, plenty of TVs to watch sports, service was perfect. Did I say great food? Great food. Wing sauces are good, the ribs are good, apps and sides were great (Korean BBQ balls are highly recommended.) Thick burger, looked amazing. We had a good experience and will be coming back for wings!!!“

“food and drinks great. bartender great“

“great food and friendly staff“

“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!“

“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 ❤️“

“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.“

“Overall great place. Knew previous owners before the current but I am happy the vibes are still the same! Minor difficulty to get to the ramp if cars are there if you are wheelchair-bound or using a stroller. Still great! Love the food and ice cream!

Parking: There is only 3 or 4 parking spaces before the signs of tenants parking which is only 2.

Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly. Great to bring kids for ice cream

Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp for wheelchair access however cars aren't super mindful of it so you might have difficulty getting to the ramp.“

“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“

“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.“

“We have eaten at Belfre several times, but this is our first time with the new ownership. FANTASTIC! Everything from the food, service, and ambiance exceeded expectations. Our server, Andrea, was knowledgeable, experienced, and total energy!“

“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“
