Restaurants in La Crosse

“Sagra is an Italian Eatery above Piggy’s on Front Street in La Crosse. It was recommended to us by several residents. It did not disappoint. We started with an Arancini appetizer. We have had arancini before, but NEVER like this. It’s the best we have ever had. Instead of being rice heavy, it was cheese heavy. They were almost like a Wisconsin cheese curd. The pecorino, a mixture of Italian cheeses, was melty and delicious, especially dipped in the buttermilk dipping sauce. We also ordered the special appetizer, fried wax beans. The breading was very light, almost like tempura. The dipping sauce added the flavor. They were good, but the Arancini definitely stood out. For entrees we got a crawfish dish and a chicken dish. Both were generous portions, which allowed us to have leftovers for lunch the following day. The Crawfish Fra Diavola was filled with crawfish and was very flavorful with fresh ingredients. The Chicken Scarpariello was delicious. The polenta was rich and creamy. The chicken comes bone in and skin on, which keeps it juicy. This dish also had Italian sausage and fresh vegetables. I really enjoyed the Italian sausage as a contrast to the chicken. The only disappointment was when we asked the waitress what 5 dishes were on the “chef’s market menu,” she didn’t know and really wouldn’t elaborate. I wanted to try that, but at $58 per person, the requirement for full table participation, and no information, I wasn’t willing to take the chance.”

“I have been all over the united states and ate at many different restaurants. Hands down the best steak i have ever had that was cooked for me. Servers were on point and the food was 1 of a kind. If i am ever out this way again we will be coming back every time.”

“Stayed here a couple of times and enjoy ☕️ here most 🌞s 🐎”

“We had a great experience with The Pearl Ice Cream. We rented a cart for a graduation party. It was a hot day and the cart kept the ice cream just as frozen from noon delivery to 9:30pm when they picked up the cart. The delivery was super easy and a quick setup. If you’re looking for an ice cream treat for your party or gathering, definitely give them a call. All our guests raved about how good the ice cream was!!!”

“My family and I love South Lanes! It’s definitely our favorite place to get pizza; both dine-in and take out. The pizza is delicious. The staff is always friendly. The over all service is excellent!”

“We hosted a rehearsal dinner at the restaurant. We were in the private area of the restaurant, and it worked out beautifully for our 30 guests. The food was excellent! The biggest hits - the kale salad, the bruschetta, hot honey pepperoni pizza and the bacon & fig jam pizza. Our guests enjoyed the variety of pizzas and the unique flavors offered. The pizza came out fast and the staff kept up with everything that was eaten. Sometimes even asking guests what they liked and if they had special requests. I was able to spend time visiting with our guests and not worrying about the food or drinks. We were told repeatedly how much everyone enjoyed their meal- music to my ears! I cannot thank Spencer and Tyler enough- it really was extraordinary! They far surpassed our expectations- not only with the venue- but the truly tasty food. If you are in La Crosse - do not overlook this place!”

“We stopped by last night around 7:15, and there was a good sized line. We weren’t aware that the store was supposed to close at 7 (the website says 9pm). The young man working was the only one there and he handled the line and the late closing extremely well. It wasn’t until someone came in around 7:40 and there were still about 3 parties in line that he told the new customer who came in that they were already closed and that we realized we were “those people”. I just wanted to take a minute to compliment this young man working. He really did a great job of handling a stressful situation, the line was long but you wouldn’t have known by how he handled himself. The customer service was great and so was the ice cream!”

“Best coffee!!! Thanks for making our day on the ambulance an awesome one, Aiden!”

“We love Diggers. Best in La Crosse. But a recent trip let us down. The classic bread crack to locals was gone. Fayzes provided it and they closed. Today People’s Food Coop brought Fayzes bakery back. Hoping the wonderful bread is restored!”

“I unfortunately didn't take any pictures but the steak is definitely something you don't wanna miss out on if you're in town visiting this is definitely somewhere you wanna stop I'm going to rate it a 10/10 and it's reasonably priced”

“The Root Note is a La Crosse classic! Only gotten better under Jared's leadership. I only wish they'd bring back the banana Nutella crepe from years ago, it was a childhood favorite of mine. Love all the events they host, and the friendly inviting atmosphere.”

“Tuve la oportunidad de visitar Super Street Tacos y debo decir que ha sido una experiencia que superó mis expectativas. Desde el primer bocado, los tacos capturaron la esencia de la auténtica comida callejera mexicana, pero con una presentación impecable y un sabor que refleja pasión, dedicación y respeto por la tradición. La calidad de los ingredientes es evidente: las tortillas suaves, la carne perfectamente sazonada, las salsas vibrantes y frescas, todo equilibrado con un toque de elegancia casera que eleva el concepto de “street food”. Pero lo que realmente me sorprendió fueron los postres. Cada uno de ellos es una verdadera joya culinaria: delicados, bien elaborados y con ese toque de dulzura que deja una impresión duradera. Como fundadora de una empresa que valora la excelencia en cada detalle, reconozco cuando alguien hace las cosas con amor y profesionalismo. Super Street Tacos no solo sirve comida; ofrece una experiencia que celebra la cultura, el sabor y la hospitalidad. Altamente recomendado para quienes valoran la autenticidad, el sabor excepcional y el compromiso con la calidad.”

“Wonderful freshly prepared food. Friendly service. Love the food!”

“Excellent ! Good food and beer”

“We had breakfast here. My husband ordered the special, homemade corned beef hash and eggs with homemade toast. I had steak and eggs with hash browns and homemade toast. It's been a few years since I've cleaned my plate and I definitely did here. Literally the best hash browns I've ever had. Over easy eggs were perfect for dipping that homemade toast. Steak cooked perfectly medium rare. If you haven't eaten here, you're missing out. Absolutely delicious!!”

“Stayed here a couple of times and enjoy ☕️ here most 🌞s 🐎”

“We went there last night for dinner. Natelie was out waitress, and outstanding doesn't even come close to her service. She went above and beyond, she made the whole experience wonderful. The food was perfectly seasoned, veggies were crisp. The chicken cordon Bleu was mouth watering. Very impressed. Will definitely be back”

“Yummy food! Great atmosphere!”

“Just left there with friends from Iowa. outstanding food, great service as always. I even messed up my own order and our server whipped it right back to the kitchen and brought me what I actually wanted to order!!! It was my fault entirely. everything was delicious. I especially recommend the Creole Corn chowder and Armadillo eggs (not andouille eggs LOL) Thank you Karen for being a great server. I wished I would have tipped more. you went above and beyond for us!”

“I love everything about Pizza Ranch! Great people working hard and providing Great food. Great for everyone families and individuals and couples alike!”

“Favorite LaCrosse restaurant….”

“Young woman bartender was sweet and helpful. My daughter got to spin the wheel for her 21st birthday for a free drink. We did the axe throwing. Instructor did a great job teaching us. We had a blast!”

“Best selection in town of rare bottles. Nobody else carries this wide range of bottles.”

“Great food, Great customer service, very cold in restaurant. You need to turn the heat on.”

“We were in on Tuesday at noon.food was delicious as always but the ribs were not as meaty as we always have gotten in previous visits n the chicKen breast seemed smaller. I would rather pay a little more for the meaty ribs cause good golly they are the best. Please go back to the meaty ribs n bigger chicken breasts as we alway get the big garbage can…alway. And of course the bread pudding was fantastic! Do not mind dropping a 100.00 when we come but please meaty ribs not the thinner ribs we received Tuesday..thank you”

“The food was good but the buffet was low on some of the meats, leading me to believe it may have been there awhile. The people were nice. Couldn't tell if there was any crab in the crab rangoon. Good lunch special price.”

“Great food always served with warm smiles.”

“This place was a 10/10. We stopped in for a quick breakfast. Orders are placed at the counter and delivered to your table. I got the Madame & Pepe breakfast sandwich. It was made with grilled shaved ham, sunny egg, parmesan creme, on a Fayze's croissant. It was also served with a mixed green salad with a vinaigrette dressing. I added a mimosa to my meal which was also a generous size. The portion size was HUGE. It was delicious and we will be back! Picture in the comments”

“Our server Josie was amazing she brought out our food fast and made really good drinks love Milwaukee burger”

“Great flatbread pizza. Best beer selection in town.”

“Since living in La Crosse for almost two years, I’ve had Burritos House several times and they never disappoint! The food is authentic and cheap, and the workers take food modifications with ease as I am sometimes a picky eater.”

“Excelente lugar. Comida, bebidas y atención de excelsa calidad. 100% recomendable. Además, da lugar a La Tertulia-LAX que es un proyecto abierto a la comunidad que desea hablar en español.”

“Excellent pizza!!! And fast service too!! It’s a shame it’s only one location but if you got a good thing going, they will come, and we sure do”

“Our family came to Howies after my daughter raved about this place. We brought my brother and his daughter with. We got to sit up top so our waitress had to carry our drinks and food to up to us. If you haven’t met waitress Jessica W yet you must! She was a rock star! She kept our drinks full and got our food to us in a timely manner. She was so friendly and we all loved her. The food was dynamite! We loved the appetizers and our main meal. We will for sure be back and will be asking for Jessica again!”

“Thursday evening was pretty low key and easy to get a table for a party of 5. Pizza and dippers didn't disappoint. Daily specials combined with seasonal specials almost always brings a new twist with every visit. If you haven't been here you should stop in and check it out. Great atmosphere withs a very welcoming vibe.”

“Five Stars for Bean Juice! If you're on the hunt for a cozy spot that serves exceptional coffee and delicious bites, look no further than Bean Juice. Their toasted coconut coffee is absolutely divine—rich, aromatic, and perfectly balanced. My go-to coffee every single day!😍 The paninis! Crispy on the outside, flavorful on the inside, each bite is a testament to their quality and attention to detail. Overall, Bean Juice is a hidden gem that combines great coffee, tasty food, and a welcoming vibe. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great coffee shop experience.”

“Delicious food with something for every one in our group. Fast service and reasonable prices. My only concern was for the empty soda glasses outside the front door and food crumbs in the booth.”

“Stayed here a couple of times and enjoy ☕️ here most 🌞s 🐎”

“Went here my 21st in la crosse with some buddies, was my main spot for the night. Bartender Aaron was my goat and got me to try a Jaeger and Rumpys shot. Absolutely horrendous, and worth every dollar(my friends were buying). Great night, great bar!”

“Nice clean bar/grill. Even at
4:30 we had to wait for a table. Waitress came right over to the table to take drink orders even though it says we should order at the bar. Four of us we all have fish. I had 2 pieces of batter fried fish with french fries. Coleslaw was very tasty. Atmosphere was noisy and challenging to hold a conversation.”

“The Sandwiches are very big and they have alot of flavor. Just Amazing.”

“Favorite place! Excellent quality food and coffee! I wish I lived closer and could go more often!!”

“Blissful sighs while sipping my quad americano with home-made Carmel syrup ❤️ also - the banana muffin was amazing!”

“I love Caribou! The drinks and food are always perfection. I also love the chocolate covered espresso beans they give us with a mocha. I feel much better supporting a Minnesota based company, rather than a global company that supports groups/countries that are bombing and killing innocent babies and children.”

“Today I had a fantastic meal at a small restaurant by UWL! I gave it a 5 rating for excellent flavors! For a person looking for food that is closest to some of the food served when in Asia, this place hit the spot! Yes, they have limited product like egg rolls, and crab Rangoons, but the spicy chicken wings were awesome AND SPICY, so you were warned. The curries were lovely, and my friend enjoyed the pork belly immensely. Service and food took some time, but it was well worth the wait in my opinion. Good food cannot be rushed!”

“MK Eats has some of the best food in La Crosse, hands down. So fresh, so tasty. I can’t recommend enough! I never leave reviews on restaurants so please know when I say you should try it out, I mean it! My husband and I love this place and I hope it never leaves La Crosse!”

“Not only is their food so yummy, their drinks amazing, they have the best customers too, I ordered for 8 people did not plan well and went by myself. Instead of taking two trips to my car down the street around the corner, one of their customers helped me out! Highly recommend Grounded Patio Cafe for food, drinks, coffee or somewhere to enjoy good music with nice people!!”

“Excellent service and food.”

“Have never experienced bad food or bad service!”

He bought our coffees and I’m so thankful for the kindness in the world. Thank you sir! Another reason why I come back to Moka. Good coffee and great employees.”

“If you need / want a cup of coffee to start your day - or just kick back & relax with caffeine in hand - this is the place. Avoid the burnt acid of so many coffee shops (looking at you Starbucks, for one). Oh Oh serves primo coffee that is silky smooth. Stop in and savor the sublime.”

“Super cool atmosphere. Everything is redone, the women's bathroom is super nice with great toilet paper. They are building a Packer's room with garage doors that open. Bartender, Dane, wad super attentive and provided great service. Steve, the owner, was incredibly nice and welcoming. There is tons of stuff for kids to do and play. Lots of gambling machines, pull tabs, and raffles. So glad to have this Southside bar. The pizza was fabulous and there is popcorn! We will be back :)”

“It's Average Chicken Place, Not better than any other Chicken place. Tried for First Time, It's Meh Ok”
