“The bartender was so much fun. The lasagna special was good, but the CHICKEN - yum. Absolutely delish. Dinners come with a small veggie tray and a cracker basket. Felt like we were eating at a super club!”
“Wife and I visited this week. We tried the Pittsburgh Steak Salad, Chili and Chicken/Bacon Ranch sandwich special. Huge portions and all food was excellent and high quality. Service was super friendly and attentive. We'll definitely be back!”
“Great small diner experience. Staff and food are always great.Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendlyParking: Full parking lot availableWheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible”
“Wow this place had awesome food! The quality of the food was outstanding and the price was very reasonable. Definitely recommend trying it if you haven't.”
“Awesome small town bar with great menu options, awesome service and a friendly atmosphere! Extra bonus!!! They make perfect Bloody Marys Caesar style just like I like them!!!”
“Hixton is a small town in Wisconsin with a few antique stores a diner and a couple of bars. I recommend you stop at Kal's Corner for a cold beverage and excellent bar burger. The menu is limited to burgers, several chicken selections, fries and deep fried appetizers/sides. Skip the cheese curds, they are average at best. The bacon cheeseburger (you don't get a cheese choice) with American cheese served on a soft white bun is very good and served with excellent bread and butter pickles. This is my go to order. You can add onion or lettuce for a small charge. Condiments on the table include ketchup, mustard, bbq sauce and ranch dressing. Service is efficient and the bathrooms are clean. This is a popular stop for bikers on charity rides and to and from Sturgis.”
“Best burgers and onion rings! Fresh and homemade. We have been travelling the US for months and this was literally the best meal we have had on the road. And a big thanks to Larry the owner for your hospitality with our mechanical issue. A bad situation turned yummy!! We will be stopping again Thank you Monica and Brian Scofield Edmonton, Alberta”
“Food was great, he had prime rib, I had crispy chicken sandwich with tots. Delicious. My only regret was I didn't have room left for that delicious looking pie. We are up here often and always ate 2 exits North. Fuels was even cheaper here. New go to for sure!!!”
“Food has been amazing every time I've ordered from there and the staff are extremely friendly. The bartender was playing peek-a-boo with my son with a full bar and still made us feel welcome.”
“Great place! The bartender we usually have, Mike, is great! The wings are some of the best anywhere in the area! Good burgers. Great tap beer selections. Very clean and reasonably priced.”
“This place is the epitome of a hidden gem, in almost a literal sense given its lack of external signage! My partner and I were on our way back from visiting family in the northwest corner of the state, and found ourselves stranded far from home when their alternator cut out mid-drive. We coasted into Hixton as the motor died, and after getting as settled as we could at the motel post-tow, we set out on foot along the highway on a hunt for an alternative food source from the gas station. 20 minutes later, we apprehensively arrived at the Brookside Tavern, and upon opening the door, I realized it was clearly the kind of place that didn't often see a lot of non-regular patrons, let alone young queer couples from Madison. But I don't think that part was on the forefront of the staff or patrons' minds - I think once I opened my mouth, they just saw us as a young couple in a bad situation who needed some warm food and kindness, which we received plentifully. The staff had already shut off the grill given the hour on a Sunday night, but they reignited it just for us and brought us incredible burgers, fries, and generously poured drinks, all for prices I hadn't seen so low since childhood. Some folks at the bar even offered us a ride back to the motel so we didn't have to walk. We left with full stomachs and hearts - frankly, everyone's hospitality really restored my faith in humanity. I can't guarantee we'll be back in Hixton soon given the circumstances that brought us there, but if we ever find ourselves in the area again, we'll be sure to stop by.”
“Enjoyed playing music here. Staff and patrons were really nice. Cool stage, neat area. Met Jamie, she's super sweet. Check this place out! Thanks for hosting live music”
“Rainstorm chased the 3 of us on motorcycles to take shelter here. So glad it happened. Owner is an awesome character. Funny, kind, and big on life. Had great drinks and food at a reasonable price. We will go out of our way to come back if we are ever in the general area.”
“Absolutely BEST lefse we've ever had! It's just like my great Aunt Edie used to make. I ordered from their website and it was shipped to me in Illinois fresh and quick! One by one as each of my family members took a bite I watched as their faces lit up... It was a great surprise for our Thanksgiving table. You absolutely MUST try this lefse!!”
