Restaurants near Iola

“Loved our food at the Crystal Cafe this morning. Omelette was cooked to perfection, and no excessive oil like some cafes serve in the county. Service was exceptional, and pricing was even included on their “specials board” , unlike some cafes in county. We will definitely go there again for fantastic meal. Thanks for all you do!!!”

“A nice quaint little bar in the middle of nowhere. Friendly staff and great food. Located just outside of Iola. If you’re in the area I’d recommend stopping in for lunch. Popular stop for the locals but doesn’t get too busy. Plenty of seating and there’s a pool table. No dart board. Prices are great. Ordered a cheese pizza, cheeseburger, onion rings, chicken tenders basket with potato wedges, a big fish sandwich with chips a bunch or beers and soda. Fed 4 of us and the bill was $80. Would recommend and would come back.”

“The most beautiful venue in central wisconsin IMHO. Great food, Gelato and atmosphere. thank you!!”

“Sunday morning Biscuits and gravy and morning buns to go. Great food but get there early. I left at 830 and the place was filling up fast.”

“I always have a great time...folks are friendly and the food and drinks are great.”

“Didn't actually get to go in the tavern, I'm guessing it was closed due to Covid, but the surrounding area is very nice. Besides the bridge and water, there were deer, rabbits, peacocks, geese, and pheasants. There is a suspension bridge here that looks like you'd fall in the water trying to cross it, but it is safe. It's a very picturesque area, and well worth visiting.”

“First time here, had a fish fry to go. Workers were friendly, food was done fast, very tasteful, and reasonably priced. Music a little loud for my taste, must be getting old, lol. I will definitely go back.”

“Really enjoyed talking with the local crowd! RON, Charlie, and Jennifer were excellent hosts. Made some new friends. I would recommend dropping in this fine Wisconsin Tavern for a pleasant experience.”

“The best pizza we have has in Central Wisconsin! She worked the dough right in front of us and man, it was heaven. sauce was perfectly tangy, not too sweet. All ingredients were super fresh and a lot of them local sourced. We will be back!”

“The homemade pizza my husband and I had last night was soooo AMAZING!!! we are picky on pizza and there was not one thing wrong with it. Plus the drinks were made perfectly, every drink was mixed the same. Great music playing on the TouchTunes while watching the Brewers play. Bartender was awesome and interacts with customers and even plays pool with you when he had a moment. 5 plus stars loved everything.”

“My wife and I had the prime rib special. Portion was good and the food was great for both of us. The service was exceptional as well. We will definitely go back again.”
