“Great food, drinks, ice cream and staff! Love shopping for unique cheeses while I’m there too!”

“My absolute favorite place! The ribs are the best I've ever had, love it that they come without sauce on them. Then grandpas saloon is the coolest little spot. Potato salad and the baked beans are the best as well.”

“The breakfast was great the service not so much after the waitress brought me my breakfast she didn’t come back to see how it was or if I needed a coffee refill and then when I went to pay I stood at the register 5 minutes while one waitress was leaning over the counter on her cell phone and the waitress I had was in the back and finally noticed me through the window and came out I could see waiting if it was busy but there was only one guy at the counter and two other guys at a table”

“We had the BEST experience booking our daughter’s wedding reception at the Front Porch! The price was so affordable and I’ve never been more grateful for their willingness to help with whatever we needed. Jenna and staff were super friendly and easy to work with! We loved it! Also if you’re in the area, stop in. The food is AMAZING! Try the cheese curds!!”

“The best meal in town! They definitely think outside of the box, and the food is the freshest and most delicious in town, add this recipe to the beautifully decorated location with a owner who is passionate and glowing with pride of her restaurant and edible creations.. Will definitely be back:)”

“Awesome meal. Hamburger patties made by hand daily. Onion rings hand dipped. Do I need to say more”

“Choosing Danzinger Vineyards for our wedding was the BEST decision we could have ever made! We got married there last July and couldn’t have imagined our day anywhere else. We were planning from out of state with no local family nearby (from Des Moines, IA and SE WI) and everything came together perfectly, even the smallest details! Paul and Madison were absolutely wonderful to work with and great communicators. There had been a wedding the night before and we were amazed at the quick turnaround — Madison handled it like a pro. Everything was ready for us to set up the next day!

A sweet personal touch: my husband spent the evening looking for a whiskey cup for his old fashioned (we managed to forget one and he wanted one instead of a plastic one) and Paul and Madison not only went and got him one, but they ordered some for future couples and guests too. They are amazingly responsive and genuinely care about every couple that had their wedding there, which is so incredibly special.

Our guests couldn’t stop raving — many said it was the most beautiful wedding they’d ever attended, and everyone loved the Alma/Wabasha area and staying at small rental properties so close to everyone else in Alma. It was truly our dream wedding and we wouldn't change a thing!”

“I didn’t catch her name but the server was PHENOMENAL! My partner and I were having a hard time eating after feeding my son because it’s a bar so obviously no high chairs but she came right up and offered to take my son on a tour through the building and he adored her just as much as we did! The cook does a fantastic job and will definitely recommend the onion rings.”

“Food was good and the wait staff was great”

“anytime I come in to town this place is a must stop in and eat”

“I’ve always loved the Pickle Factory. Last night I had the BEST quesadillas ever. It is so delicious! In addition, per usual they had a scrumptious martini that the bartender was so kind as to make into a smaller version for me . It was amazing! See a picture in the comment. The vibe was amazing and the karaoke was super entertaining.”

“I tried Marisa’s recommendation for my first drink, the Salted Caramel Cookie, so good! The vibe of the shop is perfect 🤩 Definitely feels like a little hub of happy!”

“Amazing treats, bread and more with amazing people. Truly a place you need to make a trip to visit. They stated they are open every Saturday until 1 PM.”

“Best chinese food ever. Fresh and flavorful. I drive from Winona just for this restaurant.”

“They have great pizza. We don't get anything else. Try the taco pizza for something different and really good. We are from Chicago and it's darn hard to find pizza that's actually worth calling pizza.”

“Okay, I’ll admit I’m a little biased because I used to work here—but honestly, I’d work here again in a heartbeat. The food is great, the staff is super friendly, and the whole place is always clean and well-kept. Just remember to bring a little patience—things can get hectic during peak times, but the team really does their best. Highly recommend checking it out! ❤️”

“Our waitress Ashley was outstanding. Our meals were outstanding. Food was out at a reasonable rate. Overall cost of the meals were great while dinner came with two huge walleye fillets bloody Marys were good. Definitely a five-star restaurant. We will come back again if we get in the area.”
