Here is the most updated copy of their menu! Google doesn’t have the correct items listed and they don’t have a website anymore. This is actuate as of fall 2025

We took our family to dinner here a few weeks ago and was blown away. Our server Tracy was so friendly and helpful, it made it a breeze taking our two littles ones out with us. Food and service was amazing.

They still have great food, IF you can get served. Service has nosedived into abysmal territory. Took us 10 minutes for the hostess to seat us, after telling us twice she'd be right with us while we stared at open tables. Then it took another 20 minutes to get our order taken. We waited for 35 minutes and never got so much as a glass of water brought to us before we gave up, got up and left.
Lately this place seems chronically understaffed for the amount of tables they have. We saw multiple food orders returned because they were wrong. Very disorganized and inattentive staff. Will probably have to hear something has changed before we decide to come back, because overall it was a complete waste of time.

Fish is hard to review, one mans pleasure is another mans pain. My Wife liked it, I did not. It was very mushy and runny. I would probably go again and try something else.

Everything was very good, they were unexpectedly busy but our server Ava & the rest of the team hustled and we were well taken care of, would definitely go back when in Lake Mills

Great service, drinks, and food!

Seemed like an average amount of tables, but somehow it took an hour to cook two burgers. Would have preferred McDonald's to this smash burger as well.

Started with the highly mentioned sliders and housemade soup—delicious. We stopped in for a bite and had a lovely experience. Thanks and Merci, everyone. Hope to return again soon.

The experience and food were phenomenal. Our dinner here was unplanned after other plans fell through, but we were so glad that the plans changed. Tracy was fun, energetic, attentive, and accommodating. I will go out of my way to return and recommend this place to everyone.

A great place for dinner! Friendly service, good food and amazing drinks. Be sure to have an Old Fashioned.

Their soups are always great. Be sure to ask about their specials.

Best food in lake mills, hands down. If you want great specials, with a great atmosphere this is the place to go. Please say hi to Marty for me, best bartender ever!

Really cool spot in Lake Mills - service was excellent and fast and super friendly. Smash burger was awesome and recommended - get a side of garlic ranch for your fries as well you won't be disappointed.

The food was good. Some reviews mention the cheese curds not being good, but I enjoyed them. The fish tacos are pretty good too.
