Bar & Grill near Monticello

“8/9/13 We rode into Monticello and came across the Boar's Nest. It's been in business for 50 years according to the stepson of the owner Gerri (deceased). The son's wife was bartending. His wonderful elderly mother and current owner were at the bar with good friends. They had free popcorn and a jukebox full of country and rock classics. Okay, it's not "fancy", but the hardwood floor and bar made the place cozy. They're only open Friday and Saturdays. Their can beers were Old Style, Bud, Bud Light and their bottle selection was Blatz, but when in Rome or Monticello just roll with it. For a $1 a Blatz why complain, right? On 9/14/13 (Saturday) they are going to celebrate their 50 year milestone with FREE beer, accordion music, yodeling, and a well known local musician later in the evening. We hope to be there!“

“It's my local! We moved to Belleville August of 2021, and I adore this place. Was made welcome almost immediately. Great food, great people. I strongly suggest any of the burgers, the Reuben when it's 'in season' (starts at St Patrick's day, goes til they're tired of making it), Thursday night nachos, Wednesday s'ghetti. Biscuits and Gravy that can make a Southerner cry (happily)! They don't take cards, but there's an ATM in the corner. Lots of alcohol choices to boot.“

“Food was EXCELLENT! I had the chicken alfredo pizza (with toppings and cheese all the way to the edge!) So good. The husband had the ribeye sandwich and sweet potato fries. The sandwich was great and fries delicious! Crispy on the outside and tender and moist on the inside. They had a great honey mustard to dip in. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. We will definitely be back!“

“Low key tavern with basic but good food selection and nice beer list. Our group had a few sandwiches which were simple but really filling and tasty. We used our tokens from New Glarus to enjoy a beer. Service was fast and friendly.Vegetarian options: Pretty much just a tuna sandwich if you eat fish. It was tasty.“

“Our family of 14 embarked on a mini spring break trip to Madison, WI and our first stop was at New Glarus, also known as Little Switzerland. This is a quaint and beautiful town with a population of just slightly overly 2,000. Some of the items that we ordered are the cheese curds, fried mushroom, fried cheese BLT, mini potato pancakes, Ott Haus burger, and currywurst. The latter three particularly stood out. The mini potato pancakes were well-fried and crispy. The Ott Haus burger was the 2023 Green County Burger Contest Winner and rightfully so! It was exceptional especially with the house-made bourbon bacon jam. The currywurst brought back fond memories of my business travels to Germany. We upgraded the burgers and sandwiches to come with fries and tater tots instead of house chips. Portions were generous and everyone was stuffed. The restaurant isn't very big but thankfully it was a Thursday afternoon so it was not overly busy and we were able to combine three tables to accommodate for our party size. Another thing to take note of is that they charge an additional fee for credit card users. I guess it's understandable since this is a small establishment in a small town. However, for our party size, the bill was easily +$200 and who would carry that much cash these days?“

“We dropped in for an appetizer and beer before leaving New Glarus to return home. The atmosphere of the place was nice: warm and friendly. The bar tender was very attentive. We had Spotted Cows and fries which were good. The outside dining area was a comfortable place to relax.“

“Ok so before I say anything, let me get this straight-best hidden secret in Wisconsin by far. When we walked in we were instantly greeted and seated. We noticed that they where fairly busy and low staffed, but they had no problem getting us food and drinks right away. When I ordered a second root beer, the bartender told us that it was on her, thanks to Barb (the bartender). I am not a mac and cheese kinda girl, but the brisket mac is absolutely amazing, and the cheese curds are a must try. The ambiance had a small-town bar and grill vibe. New favorite restaurant in Green County.“
