“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!“

“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.“

“Exquisite! The apple and cheese salad was uniform cut and the flavor perfectly balance. Pure joy in every bite!
The pappardelle noodles perfectly cooked and each one was evenly coated with the sauce. Amazing!!
The pistachio crème brûlée on point and heavenly. Overall nothing was over salted or overly sweet. Flavors pair well.
My server knew the menu very well and explain each dish with poise and patience. She wiped the table in between coarses with a crumb tray and clean white cloth then set me up for the next dish with proper placement. I also observed the staff being courteous and professional with each other.
Excellent staff!
100% enjoyed my evening meal!“

“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!“

“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“

“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!!!“

“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!“

“Great food … huge menu, fast service and nice clean place. La Crosse staple!“

“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.“

“My husband and I usually eat breakfast here every time we visit La Crosse and the experience is always great. So affordable, and friendly staff. However this past visit was very disappointing. Our waitress was an absolute grump to every table around us and us as well. Very rude and angry. They also served rotten iced tea, I let them know and heard someone in the back declare it was disgusting and to dump it out. Yikes! Hopefully it was just a bad day and not a new trend. We love this place.“

“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).“

“excellent food, but I really miss the wraps! please bring them back!!!“

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

“Some of the best food in town!“

“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 . :)“

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

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

“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.“

“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.“
