Kaylee stopped by the table 3 times. Once to greet and to take the order. The second time we had to call her over for refills. The third with the check. First time I ever saw my elderly father angry with a restaurant experience. His twenty dollar tuna melt was pretty sad looking and he only took two bites of it. No one cared to ask how everything was so there wasn't even a chance to turn the experience around..it was a slow day too. The museum was amazing but the restaurant was disproportionately bad.

My husband and I visited for the first time. We both felt it was very decent and we will be back.

Quite possibly the worst Mac N Cheese I’ve ever had. No cheese, just dry noodles covered in salt and some burnt bacon. I could not eat it.

Wonderful experience. The service was amazing, the atmosphere deep rooted in Harley Davidson and right on the river was so relaxing. The brisket bread was superb. The bbq sauce was on point.

Food mediocre. Service terrible. Had reservation, not busy at all. Sat for 10 minutes before we ordered drinks. Sat another 10 minutes waiting for those drinks. Absolutely parched from the ride in and watching bartenders stack cups as more time goes by. I decide to head to the bar and order drinks (maybe I get them quicker). As bartender is making the drinks I just ordered, the waitress must have noticed so here she comes with the ticket for the drinks I ordered previously at the table. I was informed that the 2nd drinks I ordered will be considered the first and added to my bill at the table. I says, "No, I still want those original drinks". As I'm certain at this point, by the time those drinks come, I'll be ready for round 2 anyway. I close out at the bar, tip bartender more than I should have and return to my table. Halfway thru meal, the 2nd round of drinks show up... ah yes, very nice, thank you... We finish our meal, pay the bill and again tip probably more than i should have and decide we would like to sit at the bar and have more drinks. Nature calls, as I head to relieve myself, I ask my date to order drinks at the bar. Upon my return, my date (the angel that she is) informs me that they will not serve us because I had came to the bar previously and ordered drinks instead of waiting at my table watching the bartenders do nothing like a good little boy while dying of thirst. Motor bar and grill is an embarrassment with terrible food and even worse service. This took place on thursday during bike night. I hadn't even made it outside yet and saw a group of fellow bikers on their way in to motor bar and grill to eat. I informed them of my experience. They agreed the motor bar and grill experience has fallen off a cliff and followed us to a fine establishment up the street. On the way out, I informed everybody I knew, this restaurant isn't very frendly or accomodating to bikers. Stay away!

The food was really good and the service and atmosphere was great. Love the view outside. It's right next to the Harley Davidson Museum and I enjoyed seeing all the motorcycles coming in and out and revving their engines. Down to earth atmosphere and casual dress.

We enjoyed our meals, and the service. Friendly, prompt and decent value. Like Harley's a bit loud, but a fun place.

Went to bike night with friends. We all loved it

Caroline

Food was great, drinks were good. Got the blt and grilled cheese. Old fashioned. Service was very slowl and the bill was high for what we got. But would visit again possibly to try something else.

Cynthia

Food was kinda blah. Was better years ago. Banana dessert was horrible. Banana bread in dessert was dry, flavorless

Janet

Nice place. Sound level was good considering all the huge windows in a large space! Great cheese curds!
