“I will be honest- I had lower expectations when we walked it. The interior could use a small upgrade. But holy cow- the food was amazing and service was fantastic. We drove a bit over an hour just to camp, I would do that again just to come here again. Prices are very reasonable, drinks are strong, burgers are out of this world- the perfect Wisconsin pub.”
“We have been to Messina several times in the past few years, and always are greeted pleasantly, and enjoy the charming hand-painted murals on the walls. It is the wonderful food and service bringing us back every time. There's quaint Italian music, or a mix of Jazz and Sinatra piped into the lounge. A small but nice wine offering is a plus.Whether we have steak, pasta or seafood, we are always impressed. A favorite is their marsala. Salads are crisp, fresh pepper is applied tableside. Entrees are beautifully presented, and breads are wonderful, served warm with butter. My favorite is the desserts - I never leave without having tiramisu, and Messina's is wonderful... Even on Saturday nights, without a reservation in a snowstorm, or in July at the height of the dinner hour on a weekend this place shines - in every way. Food, Service, and Atmosphere.There is an exceptional wine list which we occasionally enjoy, too. I love this place and have always hesitated putting out such a wonderful review, because I don't want to find the place so busy as to not be able to give me the great service that we have always enjoyed! (Did I mention the coffee? Also rich and wonderful.) Enjoy it. Messina is fantastic!”
“Food was great, brian our server was awesome. I got the ribye sandwich with fries, ribye was awesome but thought there could be more fries..the little basket is neat but small. Over all..good people, good food!”
“From the moment you descend the stairs, you feel like you are in another time and another world. Our food was delicious! The fish was hot and cooked perfectly. The steak fries came out piping hot and crispy. Our waitress was phenomenal! She kept apologizing for our wait (which we didn’t feel was that bad). We ordered Janet’s Carrot Cake for dessert and when the waitress brought it she said it was on the house. This gem in Port Washington is something you can’t miss.”
“Great food and service! Excellent fish fry!! We always enjoy it here. We have been to seven hills pub many times and always enjoy when we come back. They also have fun karaoke on Friday nights.”
“Fun friendly local bar! We didn’t eat, but all the locals ordered pizza & said it’s the best! We enjoyed watching the badger game with everyone & thanks for the snacks & Jell-O shots! Great”
“Food was amazing. Bartender and cook were excellent. 'Easy', the, bar dog, was sweet. The owner appeared to have some sort of personal issues going on which was a bit uncomfortable as he was kind of loud, but the professional behavior of the rest of the staff made it a nice experience.”
“This is how diners should be run. Everyone’s family here. Quality ingredients, fair prices and passion. Bacon is life changing. So is the oatmeal just in a different way.”
“We had the Cupcake-A-Rhee cater the desserts for our wedding. We had the most amazing cupcakes, cookies (still warm from the oven), and our cutting cake.Bob and Ellen were amazing to work with and even came to set up our dessert table in between flipping the space. They were so sweet and we would recommend them for any event but they knocked it out of the park for our wedding.”
“I like this place. Good food, good drinks. Relaxed atmosphere like a good old dive bar. I notice a lot of bikes go there. I'm sure it makes for a good stop whole out for a nice ride into the country. Love the Winnebago collection. Lol”
“I am Definitely Biased in my Review as I am Friends with the owner. however that being said, The Atmosphere is amazing The selection of Beers is top notch and constantly changing. Staff is knowledgable, friendly, and Welcoming. Jason Keep up the fantastic work and I will see you again in 2023.”
“Parking: On street parking and lot parking both free ..no over night though..usually carry out ...call before for added time saving...it's popular so keep that in mind...these folks are good people trying to give you great food and service.”
“It's been awhile since I've ordered a Pizza from here and I regret that, it was amazing with cracker thin crust and delicious toppings and the right amount of sauce & cheese.”
“The outside renovation is beautiful for large groups and includes a stage for bands. Indoors is pleasantly updated and features your typical Wisconsin bar decor and games. Good mix of a townie bar and a place I'd bring visitors. Great space for large groups and a great location. Staff has also been helpful, friendly, and accommodating in my experience.”
“My wife and I went there for dinner. I had heard from friends who go there often that their prime rib is excellent and I typically order that when It is on the menu. Tonight my wife and I both ordered it and we were not disappointed. Despite the weather (very foggy) the place was busy. The service was excellent and the prime rib was fantastic. We started at the bar and although it was busy two bartenders did a very good job of taking care of the customers. We will definitely be back and soon.”
“I recently moved to Newburg and was excited to see all of the new restaurant options to check out. My first experience was take out of Cork N Barrel (which is walking distance from my house!)I ordered the Bacon Cheeseburger Wrap,the Black n Blue Burger, the Barrel Burger,and the Jumbo Patty Melt with a side of Mac n cheese instead of fries.I was a little confused where to go to pick up my food, but was quickly pointed to the kitchen area up the steps.(When you walk in it just looks like a bar). Parking on the street was easy to find.The macaroni and cheese was delicious!! I will definitely be getting that again. The barrel burger and the jumbo petty melt were amazing!! I think the patty malt was my favorite thing so far. The black and blue burger was pretty good except it was a little disappointed how simple it was. But everything was cooked to perfection!!Next time I might try eating there instead of take out because it looks like a great atmosphere.Highly recommend!”
“The bartenders make this a fun place to hang out. They are friendly and engaging. They are happy to recommend a beer if you are feeling stuck.The food here is delicious. The poutine of the day is such a fun thing. Food is not an afterthought at this brewpub.The atmosphere is interesting. I know that they are moving to a new location soon and I’m excited to see what they do with that space.”
“We used Big Ed's to cater for our wedding, and the experience was great. Food was amazing, and James was great to work with. Got nothing but complements! Food was delivered on time, and was hot. Easy recommendation.”
“We sat and ate at the bar the guy was great help entertain our children, had a great conversation with everyone in our group you really could tell that he enjoyed his job and wanted to be there.Parking: Right before the train tracks set back off the road a little bit hard to see till you are right no top of it.Kid-friendliness: Pizza of all kinds and ice cream for dessert.”
“Best pizza of Port Washington enough said. Small dinning room but large menu and options. Very affordable and nice sized portions. Will have to return to try out the other one entrees.”
“Miriam bakes delicious treats...cinnamon rolls, pies, scones, cookies and a variety of other treats. So far everything I've tasted is delicious. This is half hour drive for me: but I will be ”
“Stopped by for a belated Valentine’s Day and so happy we did! Great value for a tasting, service is prompt and friendly. I love that they have a good selection of wines - I prefer dry reds myself, but there’s other varietals with multiple levels of sweetness. Prices are good, am planning to return!”
“Great local bar and grill! Just happened to find it heading home to GB from the Bucks game and so happy we found this place! Super friendly bartender and great food!”
“Nowhere was wonderful I’ve never seen someone give so much love to birds there’s ducks there’s turkeys there’s a big boy named baby bird I think is maybe his name he wears hats one hat is a turkey trucker in hate is a turkey cowboy he’s a butterball he’s white and very friendly. He likes to listen to the radio let’s all pool in and get him a better radio with a better station. The lights are good there’s ducks, there’s a lake you can look at the bartenders wonderful the pizza was very good and the people are very friendly. They have ouchtunes and also a bluetooth speaker that you could play things from.go for the drinks stay for the birds”
“Had a screeching great time. Laughed so hard I had a stabbing pain in my stomach. This place is just a Diamond in the rough. What else could you ask for in a bayside bar?”
“Great food, Great service, great experience. Best marketing director ever!Vegetarian options: All delicious!Dietary restrictions: Everything is available!Parking: Free, close and plentiful!Kid-friendliness: Best kid friedly atmospheric ever!Wheelchair accessibility: Very easy!”
“Small yet upscale hole in the wall. Delicious cocktail bar; my jaw dropped when I saw the amazing prices as well! Glad to have this gem added to newburg! I have yet to try the food truck outside, we will be back!”
“I loved the ancient city veranda decor. The music was fitting and not overly loud. Wonderfully relaxed and comfortable atmosphere. At least three different servers checked in with us to be certain our experience was pleasent. The food was delicious. Can there be such a thing as too much Mexican on one plate? If there is this place nailed it was the ample amounts of side dishes served with the meal.Wheelchair accessibility: This is an old building with about five stairs at the main entrance. I didn't see a wheelchair access ramp or lift.”
“Great place to get something sweet! Cute setup with outdoor seating. Had ice cream and mini Donuts! So amazing! The freshly made Donuts melt in your mouth! Good place to stop on a date night.”
