I’m back here again and let me tell you this is a must stop place!! Not only do they serve Wisconsin favorites, but their elevated menu offers dishes that rival big-city restaurants. Their Friday fish special is unbeatable. This past Friday they had scallops which were perfectly seared, buttery, and paired with vibrant seasonal flavors. Actually the corn from the dish was from a local farm stand, delicious. We also got the beet & goat cheese salad, a delectable contrast of sweet, tangy, and nutty flavors. For drinks I went with the The Lime in the Coconut which is a fun take on a daiquiri with coconut cream, lime, and a hint of Tajín for balance. The creative drink list—featuring favorites like the Dragon Rita Tini and James Hendrix—makes this the perfect place for dinner and drinks.

This place has no business being this good. When I got here I thought “okay cool a bar that serves bar food” and didn’t have high expectations. I was shocked with everything. The waitress was wonderful and the food was exceptional. The cheese curds are exactly what you want with that delicious bar ranch dressing (iykyk). Then came the burger, it’s not good because it’s just massive and topped with a bunch of crazy things you don’t even notice, it’s good because it’s simple and melts in your mouth. I cannot recommend this place enough. They also have a great beer list and from what I saw it looked like the bartender could create any complex cocktail you want or just toss you a simple jack and coke.

Best Reuben I ever had!!! Plus the other meals we ordered were excellent as well. We’ll definitely be coming back here again. Walter, and the rest of the staff make this a destination diner worth visiting! We will be back.

Stopped by for first time, ordered some cheese curds which were yummy and plentiful. The wife did not want a bun so she requested a wrap replacement and only with sauce on the side. No problem there, and I had the awesome Reuben with brown mustard instead of 1000 island. A great twist. Salty fries and a couple half and half’s made for a great dinner. Bartender and wait staff were fun and responsive to the patrons. A great experience, fun atmosphere and a place to stop by.

Dietary restrictions: Need to hold the bun, no problem, just ask.
