I've been here before for dinner, but we met friends for beers & appetizers on a Thursday about 430pm.Great selection of beers on tap & we ordered deep frued cheese curds & mushrooms & melted goat cheese with slivers of red peppers, garlic cloves & onions served with toasted bread slices. All three appetizers were great, most especially the goat cheese, except it would have been nice to have more bread served with it.Our server was pleasant, prompt, & humorous. The atmosphere is a bit loud for conversation but it's a smaller place & generally busy.*recommend*

This place is amazing! We had my mom's 80th birthday here in their patio room. It was perfect for a group of 16. The owner was wonderful to work with. The waiter was great, the food and drinks delicious.We were lucky to be able to have some of Mama Sue's carrot cake for dessert. If you are ever looking for a place to eat with the whole great experience, this is the place to go!

A very popular place. Good selection of beer and good food. Our waiter was very nice and attentive. The food was hot and tasty.Only drawback is the small parking lot, but there is a good amount of street parking nearby.

A very mixed experience...We had a party of 8, which is 2 more than I suggest you ever have. Every person ordered a full entree, every person ordered drinks from the bar, multiple rounds per couple. Every couple then ordered desert. As soon as we had finished our desert, the manager came over and asked us to leave so they could seat more people. My wife still had over 2/3 of her freshly arrived margarita.The food was fine, but wrong for multiple people. The waitress messed up our drink orders. I find it hard to give them a better review because our experience was ruined at the end by being asked to leave.For 2 people, I'm sure it will be a great experience, as the food is actually very good, but for more than 2, any place is better.

Nice neighborhood pub- like restaurant.They accommodated our group on the heated porch.Food was good, drinks good.Fun time!Parking: The lot beside building is small...so spills onto adjoining streets.As popular as this place is( packed on a Sat night), they should consider adding a parking lot

Went here with my son, daughter-in-law, and 4 year old grandson before a Badger hockey game on a recommendation from my son's friend. Got there around 4:00 and were seated right away. Waiter, Markus, greeted us, took our drink order, and gave us menus. When he returned, we ordered a chicken dinner, chicken strips for the big kid, blank n blue burger (well done), and a kids mac n cheese. We also ordered cheese curds. Wait time for our meal was a typical wait. When we got our cheese curds, they were crispy to the point of being quite hard. We had to break them open for my grandson to eat the cheese. That should've been an omen. (Note: our cheese curds looked no where near as good as the photos in other reviews posted here. They were twice as dark). When our meals arrived, all of the main items were very over cooked. My chicken strips are coated with panko crumbs so I knew it would be crispy. The chicken, however was very dry with the narrower ends inedible. You couldn't cut thru them. The chicken thighs on the dinner order were very dark. the meat had a bit of juice near the very center. The rest was dry and hard. The burger, while ordered well done, was beyond that. It was a dried to almost a crisp with no moisture to it. Not only that, but it was missing onions. The kids mac n cheese came with big noodles which was an interesting twist. They probably would've been good if they'd had any type of cheesy sauce on them. These looked like they'd been rolled in a pan with a minimum of cheese and then put into a bowl. For a kid, there should be a good bit of cheese sauce with the noodles. These had none. The whole meal seemed to be an indication of either over cooking or not having a deep fryer timer set correctly. If we'd had time to send all back and reorder, we would've but needed to make a 6:00 game time. We won't be back and my son will be letting the friend know about it. Haven't been this disappointed in a dining experience in a long time; if ever.

Every time with this place. They are out of items, they aren’t serving anymore coinciding with the menu that is displayed.Tonight it was “we don’t do takeout on Friday’s after 5.That’s fine and all, but please post that on your website somewhere, so I don’t spend 15 minutes trying to call to get thru.

Got seated pretty quickly. The beer selection is good. The server was attentive. Brought out a second kitty cocktail for our kid without asking us, and charged us for it. Odd. We would have preferred to have been asked given it was a child and we prefer to limit sugar intake, especially nearing bedtime. Food was subpar. Fried stuff was good, take that for whatever it is worth. The burgers were small and dry, at "medium" doneness. The Drafthouse burger was nonsensical with it's dryness and lack of flavor. There was no beer cheese sauce even visible let alone palatable. Portion sizes are disappointing. We had more fries this time than the last time we dined here. The other visits here were excessively busy and we had to wait far longer than we should have. Bathrooms are ok, garbage was overflowing tonight.3rd attempt at eating here, looks like the last.
