“love the owners, love the company and it's biker friendly!”

“Jason and Cj were super friendly, and my food came just how I ordered it! 😁😁”

“Fast quick, and very clean. Seemed a bit short staffed but could be mistaken. Everything came out correctly as aspected and in record time faster than I’ve seen at most places and I’m not from town.”

“cannot get over how amazing these sandwiches were!!!!! Sooooo good!!!”

“If I could give Whirlybird more than 5 stars, I absolutely would. This little gem of a coffee shop has easily become my all-time favorite. I started going a couple months after they opened, originally drawn in by their coffee flights (which are a must-try if you haven't already!), and little did I know I'd soon be driving 20+ minutes on the regular just to get my fix. At this point, I go so often they know me by name! Liz, the owner, is genuinely one of the kindest, most welcoming people I’ve ever met. You can tell how much heart she’s poured into Whirlybird, and her team of girls? Absolutely fantastic. She’s created such a fun and welcoming environment, and her team is just as incredible. Every single person there is friendly, upbeat, and makes the experience that much better. They genuinely make you feel like you're part of their little coffee shop family. Their drinks are consistently amazing — creative, seasonal, and always something new to look forward to. I love it so much that I even buy their coffee to take home because nothing else compares. And the food? SO good. Everything I’ve tried has been fresh, flavorful. I truly have nothing negative to say about Whirlybird. My only wish? That they’d open a location in Eau Claire — I’d be there every single day. Whirlybird isn’t just a coffee shop. It’s a whole experience — one that keeps me coming back time and time again.”

“Fantastic! Best hand cut fries and Burger EVER!”

“I have been going to Altoona family for years over a decade at least and when my son was in an accident in 2022 the owners made sure we were taken care of when we ate there, special pancakes with sprinkles and whip cream. Now today I went there with my son and I ordered my usual and the owner paid for my meal.. This restaurant surely is amazing and all over the best family restaurant in our area and Im not just saying this because of a free meal. Everytime I go there she (the owner ) is always talking to me asking me how I am doing just like a family catching up, plus the service great food and prices is why I will continue to go back time and time again and support such an amazing family! thank you for all that you and your staff do!”

“We are regularly at Randy's, about every Friday you'll find us there. We have never had a bad meal,always plenty of food and the prices are very fair. The wait staff are always friendly, our food comes out fast. I would definitely recommend Randy's for a good meal, breakfast, lunch,and dinner all good.”

“My husband, granddaughter and I have very different tastes, but all loved the food, coffee and desserts. Everything we ordered was freshly made of top quality ingredients. It is so difficult to find inventive, healthy, and tasty vegetarian meals in his area. Well done and we will be back with friends.”

“The food was amazing. The service was even better. My child and I have an egg allergy. When we let the server know we wanted to exclude the egg, he asked if it was an allergy. When we said yes, he immediately suggested to add tofu. With no additional fee. Most places charge for adding even if you take something away. I will be going back! Not only for the food that was wonderful, but for the service! It is much appreciated!”

“Wonderful treats with wonderful staff!”

I’m a vegetarian and there’s plenty of options so I was very happy about that!. I had the mango lassi the flavor was so fresh! After our meal I had the hot chai very flavorful! The people are the nicest I’ve ever met. I feel like I’ve made new friends!”

“I never thought I would be a food plan kind of person. But a co-worker started using Simple Plan Foods and the meals looked great and smelled amazing. So I gave the idea a try. I started with a simple lunch plan for a week and now I am hooked. This is a very affordable and convenient method of have a consistent and healthy prepared meal ready every day of the week. I highly recommend giving it a try and see if this is for you. You might be surprised”

“The Italian Grinder was awesome! What's nice is sandwiches are huge, but you have choices! Whole, half or third! Try to get there every time we're in Eau Claire!!! Great!!!”

“Went and had dinner for the first time at the Thirsty Badger last night. The atmosphere is excellent, the staff is very outgoing and friendly, very positive attitudes. The food portions are enormous, and everything tasted great. I only had typical bar snack food, but it was much better than I expected. And I don't know his name, but the hot bartender was definitely on my menu for dessert. Lol.”

“We hired them for a customer appreciation event and he showed up early and ready to set up with a fantastic selection of ice creams. Everyone loved the ice cream and the service they received. We will definitely be hiring Ramones again soon.”

“We're a big fan of 3rd and Vine and highly recommend stopping there for a quick and quiet getaway with friends and family. Make it a tradition and check out their amazing variety of refreshments and charcuterie options.”

“I ordered a latte and really enjoyed it. The beans seemed well roasted and the flavor was nicely balanced. The temperature was just right — exactly how coffee should be served. Also, the staff was fun and friendly, which made the experience even better.”
