First time there. Had the salad. The ranch dressing is homemade and outstanding. Service was terrific, with a smile and food was prepared quickly. Already want to return. Will definitely be one of my favorite spots.
Excellent food, service and atmosphere
A true gem.
Firstly, downtown Monroe, WI is just perfect. The square is a lovely way to enjoy a day.
Baumgartner's did not disappoint. Their root beer on tap was just what I needed. Now onto the main event. Limburger cheese. I ate it. Having it share the Rye bread with Braunschweiger was the right choice. I wish there would have been a thin slice of raw onion on the sandwich. Also definitely needed the mustard which was available tableside.
We will definitely be back...read full review
