“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!“

“Our pilgrimage to Our Lady of Guadalupe Shrine concluded with lunch at Culina Mariana Cafe at the door of the hill!
It was an amazing experience.
The piazza panini was delightfully delicious! 🤤
The service was friendly and professional.
I would recommend this lil gem of a cafe, if your pilgrimaging to this shrine or simply visiting.“

“Stayed here for work Sept , Oct and it is just great. The staff is very nice! There is a small pool and a hot-tub glass windows to see the river. Its nice place to sit when its cold. The Bar looks out on the river. Breakfast lunch and dinner with lounge and tv's in the booths. The patio outside is great they have a fire pit and allow smoking. Its a short walk to everything and a short drive to anything. Parking can be a problem in La Crosse its best to walk, ride bike etc. The rooms are nice the location is perfect.“

“Our experience at The Ridge was excellent, from the salad bar to the pumpkin creme brulee for dessert, and everything in-between. I had the batter-fried jumbo shrimp & French fries which were perfectly cooked and served piping hot. Husband's walleye was pan-fried to perfection. The staff was efficient and friendly, and the portions were very generous and priced appropriately. I HIGHLY recommend and can't wait to go back, and that's not something I say about more than a couple of restaurants within a 50 mile radius of home! P.S. My bourbon old fashioned was delicious 😉. ☆☆☆☆☆“

“The best food in the area. Phenomenal service. They really know what they're doing for flavors. Would love to see a full tasting menu out of them, possibly with wine options. I might even come back to the area for it. Outstanding food. The highlight of our short trip.“

“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!“

“Very relaxing, everyone so friendly and food was fabulous! We stayed at The Radisson to see the Rotary Lights. After, we went back, freshened up and went downstairs for dinner, very convenient. We asked to be by the windows with a view the lights while we ate but no seats were available and our table was set at a different location, waiting for us to finish our drinks. The gentleman that seated us, moved our table to a window seat that had just opened up without even asking before we went in. We were very impressed that he did this and it made our meal that much more enjoyable. The food was fantastic and would highly recommend. This is our 4th year going there for the lights and we would do it any other way! Enjoy!!!“

“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“

“Food and service was great. My husband and I were visiting our son in La Crosse and stopped in for an early supper. It was so good!“

“We just got back from Canada - didn’t want to cook but we knew we wanted a good pizza. I called to order a take n bake pizza & they had it done when we got there. We will definitely do that again!!!! Thank Timmers staff“

“Wow! Wait was pretty long (Sunday around 11), but honestly the best omelette and real potatoe pancakes I’ve ever had!!! So worth the wait.“

“Love it here! Free popcorn before eating! Fast & friendly staff (Tanya)! Great coffee served in a cafe'! Eat in the lounge area (lots of kids in other area).“

“Great place with a great atmosphere and even better drinks!“

“Staff was very nice and helpful! Food was very delicious! Good for the traveler and locals too!“

“Hands down best bar on the Northside. Alyssa the bartender is absolutely beautiful inside and out. She truly makes each patron seen and comfortable. She's extremely down to earth it's like talking to an old friend. Great karaoke with Monica and Donnie too . :)“

“Some of the best food in town!“

“Cool place. I love the old musical instruments displayed. Best chicken dumpling soup ever, but the best part by far is the friendly and accommodating staff. I have a family member who is at Mayo a lot and often stops there for lunch. He loves it and said that its impossible to be in a bad mood there because the staff are so friendly. This place is local gem.“

“The prices here are really good, but don't expect to be blown away by the taste. It's very simple, with the most creative items being in their omelets. I had the 4x2, which I feel is the best value. We were served quickly, and everything except the cook on the eggs came out as expected.

Parking: Sometimes there's overflow from the hotel, so you may have to fight for a space. A full parking lot here doesn't necessarily mean a long wait.“

“Great Place to gather with friends and family!! :)“

“Stopped by Alpine while on vacation and sat outside and ordered food. The view is amazing. The service and food was excellent. What a nice quaint rustic establishment.“
