About Ballyhoos

Ballyhoos is a restaurant that typically offers a good experience, but sometimes falls short. The salad bar can be disappointing when it's not busy, and the food may not always meet expectations. However, the mushroom Swiss burger remains a highlight, and the beer selection is impressive with 9 domestic and 17 craft taps. The decor is nice, and the staff can be helpful and attentive, especially during midweek or when serving large groups. Recent reviews mention that the food is good, with some finding it delicious and SCRUMPTIOUS, particularly praising the burgers like the Bally beezer. The restaurant has a large food menu with plenty of choices, making it easy for guests to take their time. The service is often outstanding, with bartenders and servers noted as kind and friendly. While some guests find the waitstaff less engaging at times, many appreciate the reasonable prices for the quality of food. Guests have enjoyed dishes like the walleye and shrimp hoagie. Overall, Ballyhoos is seen as a great place to visit, especially for burger lovers, and many are eager to return to try more items, including breakfast.

Too many complaints of poor quality food, and poor service, and most importantly too much craziness displayed by the owner. I don't think I've ever seen anybody represent a business so poorly.

Once seated we had to go to the bar to ask our waitress to come back. Food was cold and not flavorful. Drinks were not full. Questioned the cold food and got a shrug. Server was short with us and rude. Best I can say is place was clean.

Avoid at all costs. Ordered mushrooms, these were great, however the entrée were very disappointing. Brisket BBQ burger came with brisket, yes, but it was extremely greasy. Coupled this with large amounts of fat, the burger patty being different colors in different parts, this left me feeling uneasy after only the 4 bites I took.

My dinner guest ordered the roast beef, again, large chunks of fat and an upset stomach left her feeling sick.

We were hoping...read full review
