Bartenders/Servers are awesome. Strongly encourage stopping by on all you can eat wing nite. Bartenders ....I think Taylor and Mckayla....are personable and have fun. Its like a flannel clad hooters meets an awesome local sports bar.
I was there for lunch, ordered the burger rare, got it well done then when I sent it back, I got one that was cold… simply unacceptable. Will not go back.

Seen from the freeway, but just enough off the beaten bath of highway 50, Rivals is a great spot to stop in for beer and a bite. The interior is pretty with lots of natural wood, a unique and stylish long bar, warm lighting and a variety of seating options. The multiple sets of rowed tappers on the ceiling make for fun and creative decor, so don't forget to look up!Rivals has a nice menu, full bar and a great selection of beers. I had the Downeast Blackberry Cider, at the recommendation of the owner who just happened to be sitting at the bar with us, and it was INCREDIBLE! If you are a fan of ciders, it's a must try. The subtle tartness was smooth, refreshing and delicious. For dinner, my husband ordered the Philly Cheesesteak and I opted for the Grilled Chicken Wings with Stingin' Honey Garlic Sauce. The bun on the Cheesesteak was soft but not soggy, the sliced beef was tender and pulled apart nicely, and the onions and green peppers were in perfect balance, adding a nice but not overwhelming flavor to the sandwich. My chicken wings were fantastic, and while the sauce was absolutely delicious I did not find it particularly "stingin." Which makes it perfect for those who want only a little kick.One of the girls working the bar was a little slow, but she was friendly and treated us well. It was great to talk to the owner and get his take on menu items, beer selections and general information about the restaurant. The only "issue" I had was the women's bathroom. Although clean, one of the two stalls is incredibly small. Even being petite, I found myself feeling quite confined once I shut the door.Rivals was described to me as a place for attorneys (because it's only 15 minutes from the courthouse) and townies, with great wings and very good food. Very true. While there are plenty of options in Kenosha, especially along the main strip, this place is worth a try. Again and again.

We were looking for a good burger and beer in the area and didn't want to go to any of the chain places - Rivals fit the bill perfectly. Best part was the great staff. To bad I didn't catch their names as I would like to call them out for great service.

We have been going here for years because they had great food, great atmosphere and excellent service. But recently ( the last 3 times) we've had really bad service from the young girl bartenders. Your drink will sit there for 5 minutes and then when you ask them to get you a drink they give you an attitude and then make your drink weak. I think we are done with them

Not sure what the deal was, but sat with our friends (another couple) we had decided to stop and try out a local place.We told the waitress it would be two checks , She THEN TOLD US SHE NEEDED "A CREDIT CARD OR DEBIT CARD to put on file and it makes it easier to do two separate bills"I said we're paying cash and said I'll still need a card to do the order."So, I hope this Owner of this place can make enough money off the locals, because that's all you're going to see.Not worth the chance of credit or debit card theft and the excuse was lame.I would drive by this place and avoid an issue or future card theft.
