I am moving to Oconomowoc later this year for work and was in town on Tuesday for a meeting. I stopped at Crafty Cow afterwards for lunch. Ana was the bartender and server. Not only did she provide great service but also gave me the sweetest card welcoming me to Oconomowoc when I left. The hot honey cheese curds were also delicious!

I will definitely be back with my whole family when we move to Oconomowoc later this year!

Thank you, Ana!

First time at this location. I’ve found the other locations to be good, but not great. This one, however, was easily the best experience of all three.

It’s on a busy street with parking out front (and a public lot around the corner). There are patio tables in front, plus a large patio behind the building. Inside, the décor is casual and relaxed.

We were seated right away. Our server did a great job getting us set up with waters, drinks, and menus. We took a while to place our order (we were lost in conversation), but the server was pleasant and patient throughout. We ended up ordering a couple of burgers: I got the OK Burger, and my friend the Fried Onion Burger. I also asked to have my smash patties cooked a bit longer for those crispy edges.

While waiting for the burgers, we shared an order of Cheese Curds — beer-battered white cheddar. They were just okay, nothing special, and could have been cooked a little longer. My OK Burger, on the other hand, was excellent, and cooked exactly as I asked, with crisp edges. The side salad was solid as well. The burger was a generous size, but I managed to finish it all.

Overall, a very good experience. Great service (thanks, Jack), an excellent burger, and a relaxed atmosphere. Easily the best of their locations. I’ll definitely be back.

I can’t recommend the Crafty Cow enough! The food and drinks were fantastic, but what really stood out was the outstanding service. We met friends there on a Saturday morning for brunch to celebrate becoming first-time grandparents, and our server/bartender, Alex, was absolutely amazing. She was attentive, made great food recommendations (which we loved), and even took the time to congratulate us on our exciting news.

But she didn’t stop there—just as we were getting ready to leave, Alex surprised us with the most thoughtful new baby card, a heartfelt message, and a gift card from the Crafty Crew. It was such a generous and meaningful gesture, and truly above and beyond what you’d expect. What a wonderful way for a business to make their customers feel special. Thank you, Crafty Cow!
P.S. I also included a picture of Alex! She was awesome and also deserves a BIG congratulations! She has a new 4-week old baby to celebrate!!!

Food is good but kind of expensive. Cashier messed up my bill and charged me double.

Great food and beer. Friendly staff!
