“12/18/25 First time back since new owners and it was fantastic! Our waitress Eva told us it was a brand new chef that cooked our steaks and they were excellent! Cooked to perfection and the tastiest filet and NY pepper/garlic strip ever! Superb 5 star service (ask for EVA!) Wonderful cozy atmosphere, and watching the turkey and deer right outside the window was amazing! Going back to try the fishfry!“

“Went there for my birthday this week. Service was amazing, drinks very good and food was the best! Will definitely be going back! 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟“

“Good food and reasonable prices. I would return.“

“This "hole in the wall" bar is a must stop. I love visiting bars like this because of the community they provide. I was welcomed by the locals and had great conversation through my visit.The area is out in the country and can be tricky to find. Once I arrived, there was plenty of street parking as well as a lot in the back The inside was charming with a vintage vibe. Drinks were strong and their menu is lengthy. I ordered a cup of the soup which was styled after the Reuben sandwich. The corned beef was excellent. The soup is creamy and flavorful. I have tried to stop by again but they are only open Tuesday through Thursday. I wish I had checked the menu it because the reviews online show a fish fry but I'm not sure if that's available daily since they're closed on Friday? I hope you find out soon!“

“Not only do they have fabulous food & beverages, their desserts are a 10/10! The cinnamon roll cheesecake is divine! They go above & beyond to provide exceptional service!“

“great food and staff are great and great at remembering faces been coming since they open definitely recommend beef mazeman ramen“

“I visited for the first time yesterday and found this to be a cozy atmosphere with good food and friendly staff. I’m looking forward to coming back.“

“Stopped in and had lunch with my guys today. Great food and friendly service!“

“We had a great time tonight. The food was excellent and the service was awesome. Ladies night was a huge success.“

“I was here for the first time last week and loved it. Great food and wonderful staff. Can’t wait for the new hours and daily specials!“

“decent food. Friendly wait staff. Maybe 3.5 out of 5 stars for me. Only thing that I thought was odd is that you have to wait until your whole party has arrived before they will seat you. It's not a Bartolotta's restaurant, it's a bar. Only 4 of us looking for a regular 4 top table. They wouldn't seat us until the remaining 2 showed up. There were 11 open tables. The place was not packed. I thought that was strange.“

“No one has mentioned Sawdust Pie, my favorite finish to any meal. Sawdust pie with a side of vanilla ice cream is amazing! Food and service has always been good. I love the cozy atmosphere particularly during the Christmas holiday.“

“This place has stepped up its game in the last few years. The food and service is very good. I remember coming here several years ago a couple of times (I live in the neighborhood behind this establishment) and the service was awful. So great job manager, cooks, and waitresses. Tonight i had the fish fry haddock beer batter. 10 out of 10. Pizza appetizer 10 out of 10. Fries 10 out of 10. The server (sorry forgot her name) awesome. Thank you for the great meal.“

“I bought a gift card and didn't get the value basket coupon. I reached out to Culver's and received a phone call from the manager. I went to Culver's and Jakob, at the register was very nice and helpful. The customer service was awesome!!!“

“Everything was fantastic! The food was excellent, and the service was fast and very friendly. We got our meal remarkably fast considering how busy the restaurant was. The view of the lake made our meal even more enjoyable. I would recommend the Copper Dock to anyone looking for a nice dining experience.“

“A warm ,relaxing atmosphere with outstanding service! I had the prime rib and my wife had the chicken Madeira, both excellent 5 stars !“

“There was one server and one cook when we went in on Monday at lunchtime. The server had 12 tables going at once! She did an awesome job! She took our order right away, our food was brought out quickly and was really good. She handled all of these tables so well and was super pleasant.“

“We absolutely loved The Orville! Went to celebrate my husband's birthday and Valentine's Day, but decided to skip the hustle and bustle of V-Day. Sam was such a sweet and attentive waitress, couldn't ask for better service! We had the best artichoke dip I've ever had, I think it was the grilled toast that really did it, but the dip was amazing too! I had Lobster Mac & Cheese and my husband had a beautiful salmon dish...both perfect, and can't wait to have the leftovers from my Mac (huge chunks of lobster!). I had a lavender martini, simply lovely and delish! Tried my husband's old fashioned and yummmm to that too, had a cinnamon twist to it. We'll be back, hands down. And the ambience and lighting make for a very romantic time. Oh and they gave my husband a birthday card that everyone signed! Gave him a choice of dessert, just so sweet, no pun intended. It would be hard to find a better salted caramel creme brulee. Then since we had a late reservation Sam so kindly said we could take all of the remaining roses 🌹 🌹 🌹. They smell heavenly. Thank you all, we're so excited to have found you, when I heard it was the sister restaurant of The Norbert I knew it would be fantastic, but that's an understatement!!!“

“Been here 5-6 times already and have never had a bad experience. Best Eggs Benedict and fresh squeezed OJ around. Worth the wait when there is one.“

“Best Clam Chowder in a long time. Fish Fry was delicious. Our server was kind and friendly.“

“I really appreciated the way that the sandwich maker that I had spread all of the ingredients over evenly, it's kind of my pet peeve when they just do it all willy-nilly and don't make it like they're making it for themselves. It seemed as if she was making a sandwich for herself and I appreciated that.:)“

“Our very favorite place for breakfast. Food is always fast, good, hot, a quantity that’s filling, and at a more than fair price. The owner is the cook, the help he hires is attentive & friendly. The place holds 40 people max and still (as a rule) provides the same excellence. You won’t be disappointed.“

“A bowling alley with a sizable bar area and decent bar food. Service can be slow at times however the bar tenders are friendly. Karaoke on Friday nights pulls in a crowd, and is entertaining most times. There is a enclosed outdoor smoking lounge area that has heat and seating which is a nice feature if you are a smoker. Overall a comfortable place to relax and have a few drinks.“

“Great food, great employees, great owner. Always entertaining“

“Thank you for your donation to the west bend Wildcats wrestling club!!“

“Great food and excellent service. Nice atmosphere too. Highly recommend and will definitely be back!“

“I enjoyed trying the new menu options. We went with the Swedish Meatballs, Beef & Noodles, and gnocchi sausage stuffing. I normally choose Krimmers if in the mood for a steak (dry aged ribeye with blue cheese). They now have a lot of alternative pasta and entree dishes. It is a lot more versatile; we will be frequenting more often.“

“I had chicken cordon bleu. I paid $16 for exactly what I could buy at Wal-Mart for $4.98. Definitely not worth the price.“

“I went there with my boyfriend for a date night on Friday and everything was amazing from the service to the food.. we will definitely be coming back!“

“They have awesome food with great local bar. Fun bartenders pulling Shenanigans! I Have watched a few musicians & occasionally do karaoke. I’d make Big Sky Country a regular stop.“

“I love buzdums they have the best food and bartenders anywhere.......“

“This place is by far the best food I ever had. The service was fast, food was great and as soon as you walk in you are greeted by the most friendly people you will ever meet. 10/10 in my book.“

“Food is very good. Great fish fry’s and pizza. Amazing wings. Fun bartenders too“

“Guess who is back Feb 20th? Yup, Ebert and Grass! Enjoy the great food and tappers while we perform for this great Establishment!“

“We stopped into Joker’s 5 for lunch after spotting it the night we arrived in town, and what a fantastic find. The moment we walked in, we knew we’d found the right place — a nice guest helped guide us in, and the bar was completely full of happy locals having a great time. What a warm, welcoming first impression!

We grabbed the two seat table in the back near the pool table and dart boards. My friend was craving a burger, but is very particular about how they’re cooked. After a quick Q&A with the super friendly bartender, we went with the double bacon cheeseburger with curly fries, deep-fried green beans, white cheddar garlic nuggets, and a couple of drinks.

The drinks were spot-on, the service was fast, and the food came out piping hot. Those garlic cheese curds? Absolutely out of this world — leave it to Wisconsin to keep raising the bar on cheese perfection!

My friend took one bite of that burger and looked ready to propose… to the burger itself. It disappeared so fast we actually ordered a second one to go.

Joker’s 5 is everything you want in a local hangout — great food, friendly people, a little gaming, pool, darts, and a laid-back atmosphere where you can just relax and enjoy yourself. I would definitely visit this spot again if I make it back out to West Bend.“

“Fun local bar. Cheap tap beer!“

“Great food. Great staff. Great new location. I had lunch at Billy Sims BBQ in Joplin , MO and enjoyed wonderful brisket and was very impressed with the staff. Jennifer, Dontavious, and Brandon provided great service and a very clean environment. I will be back often.“

“We had our family Christmas party here and it was a great time. Food was amazing and delicious. The workers were happy,helpful and gifting. We will be back for sure. Thanks for the great time. Highly recommend coming here.“

“Great atmosphere! Great staff! Great food! Always feels like some magic must be in the air! Unique and worth the drive!“

“This is a spot my family and I frequent quite often. We love the atmosphere and especially the staff. They are always friendly and welcoming and make us feel at home. It is like one big family there, they remember you and always make you feel special. The food is terrific! We love the Friday fish fry with potato pancakes and their clam chowder is delicious! My son is crazy about the Mac and cheese. Their burgers are great as well and they have a special on Thursdays and they are only $8.95. (They even have gluten free buns if you prefer that!) They have wing nights on Tuesdays and bingo every other week which is always fun. 10/10 would recommend!!!“

“Food was delicious Service was great“

“My husband and I took our 2 year old son there for lunch today and staff member Issac made it such a nice experience. My son loves lizards and Issac happened to have a lizard tattoo on his forearm and we asked him if our son could see it closer up, and he was more than happy to. Issac also got a Culvers Turtle plush toy and gave it to him so nicely. Very sweet person, very attentive and great staff member.“

“Ive been coming to Michalenos for well over a year now. Only in the recent months did I start dining in with my mother and daughter. We always come on a Friday, and we usually have Sarah helping us. She is always so kind and patient. My mother has early onset dementia, and often forgets where she is or what she says, Sarah never misses a beat reanswering questions or repeating what she already said six times before. She’s always prompt and accurate as well. Tonight, she was hopping, the phones were ringing off the hook, she had many tables and people coming in and out. She always had a smile on her face and never stopped moving! She suggested we try the baked pasta because we had the regular last time and it was delicious! I had the spinach lasagna and a fresh salad and it was all hot and delicious. The only complaint I had for the evening, is that you could tell the cook in the kitchen was very frustrated with his slamming, yelling and cussing. I know he was busy, we could see all the people, but maybe vent a bit quieter! Despite that, we’ll be back next week, and the next week, and the next week…“

“Our server Irv was amazing—friendly, attentive, and very professional. He made us feel welcome from the moment we sat down, checked in at just the right times, and made it possible for us to try the NEW O-M-Cheese burger. His positive attitude truly enhanced our dining experience. Excellent service!“
