“I love this place. Relaxed atmosphere, fantastic food, generous drinks, great prices, and the best staff!“

“Stokes is the “Cheers” of Janesville. It has been the gathering place for many generations of Janesvillians dating back to the Wisconsin Club days. The giant W bar is the coolest bar lay out! Friendly staff, honest drinks, and great bar food make this my favorite Janesville pub.“

“my friends Meghan and Adam told me if i want a great burger, i got to go to Charlie's. so on saturday i decided to check it out. i got a tall captain and coke, ordered the charlie burger with steak fries to go. when i got home i ate it and they were right. the charlie burger was the best burger i have had in a long time. i'm going to get another one tomorrow.“

“Best burgers in town! And Hamm’s on tap. Win all around.“

“The service is excellent! Wonderful bartenders. Food is always amazing and filling.“

“Holy cow! These ribs are the best I’ve ever had, seriously! Highly recommended!!! My boyfriend and I were driving by and decided to stop in for a quick drink. After meeting Aubrey and frEddie, we were sold! Super friendly service and hometown atmosphere made our stay longer than planned. We heard about the Saturday special with the ribs, baked beans and cornbread among a long list of other pork items we did not get, at least this time. We recommended Fast Eddies to any rib lovers out there! I considered them to beat anything ribs I had at ribs feast last year. The passion for the BBQ shined through every bite I ate. Great jobs guys! We will return soon.“

“great burgers. The fried portobella mushrooms were really good. very reasonable prices, and excellent service. Highly recommend. Rate it at 4.9“

“I stopped in here on a late Monday evening. My first time in Janesville and it was for work, flight was late, nothing was open. SO happy I did! It’s a fun spot, very chill inside. I didn’t get to see the rooftop, which was a bummer (guess I have to go back!). Bartender was amazing, she cooked and served. Gave an excellent recommendation - their Buffalo chicken wrap and tots. It was heaven! They had a pool table, a dart board, and slots ? Hoghly recommend!“

“Lunch was delicious! Soup and sandwiches were awesome! Atmosphere very nice and clean, friendly staff!“

“Wednesdays are the best! I have never had a bad meal and the atmosphere is friendly and homie. Staff is always friendly and welcoming.“

“Small local bar. Was not busy when we were there middle of afternoon. Found bartender Ryan was very friendly and excellent service. Not much of a menu with generic bar food. It was very good though. Very reasonable drink prices. Will definitely go back.“

“This place is a low light bar but it’s perfect. Old world vibes. Dark wood interior with a great whiskey and scotch selection. The food is delicious. I always get the scotch eggs even though they are pricey. They make them better than anywhere else I’ve had them.“

“Well I have been here a few times a few years ago, Sneaker Burger is always so good! This time I brought several para-athletes. There was one low table, however, they brought a folding table out to accommodate our group which was awesome!
The food, well, I know it's been a few years but the Sneaker burger was still great. The chips that came with were more bits and pieces. My BF got a cheeseburger and onion rings. Onion rings were really good. The chicken choke wrap was good.
It's a bar so keep in that in mind...not a place for salad.
I was surprised that with the burger there was additional cost for mayo, lettuce, tomato and onion on the burger. Had that been noted we wouldn't have opted on one of the burgers.
The service, while friendly, was not attentative for drinks (I had to get up and ask for refill and water). It was about 230 so I think the bartender was running.
Will I be back next time I am in the area? Yes, again, the sneaker burger is delicious, however, I hope I remember the nickle-diming.“

“large place, Friday night was busy and kinda loud, but the food and service was outstanding! will definitely be back!“

“The best fish fry and chicken tenders I’ve had!“

“I had the Bluegills for fish fry last night. MUCH improved and DELICIOUS!! Thanks, Keith!! My go-to place for Bluegills now!! And the roast beef on Thursdays can’t be beat!!“
