If you want a brandy old fashion sour. Just open a can of squirt. The drink wasn't worth $12.50.What a joke never again.

Friday night trying new restaurants we never been to. First impression really good, service, atmosphere, drinks all pretty good. Appetizers really creative fusion food( Mexican queso, Chinese wonton wrap and Thailand chili sauce) great combination. But the entrees was kind of disappointing. Fish fry got thick batter like Great Wall. Burnt outside and raw inside. Not much fish left inside to be honest. You have to crack it open like king crab. The picture attached is actually after we finished the meal. My husband cracked it open and pick the fish out. My curry fettuccini was fine. But obviously the butterfly shrimp were store bought and fettuccini is not too expensive so I assume I am paying the price for sauce . But the sauce is too rich . After couple bite, you are kind of done with the richness and stickiness.

Cannot recommend this place enough. Food is super flavorful and there is a wide variety of options. The specials change weekly and there are flavors from all over the world.The venue is immaculate. They have the farm stand feel with great drink options and music playing via vinyl records.Definitely check this place out if you’re looking to try something new - you won’t be disappointed!

Hidden gem in southeastern Wisconsin. Very cozy atmosphere. Good vibes. Great food! Friendly and welcoming staff. Will try and stop by again whenever we're on our way to Illinois again.

What a surprise to find this place near Whitewater. Our food was great from the Goonies dip to the Ribs to the caramel cheesecake dessert. This place will definitely become a regular stop.

So, the food was good. Not great, not five stars, but pretty much four star food. They get docked a star for minuscule portions. Order a glass of wine? It appears in what looks like a liqueur glass, at most four ounces and likely closer to three. The salad was, I do not exaggerate, three bites of lettuce and spinach leaves with store-bought balsamic dressing and exactly ONE halved cherry tomato. The "dumplings" were three gyoza - at FOUR DOLLARS EACH. The signature noodle dish was appetizer sized, and $25. One might get away with this in New York or Chicago, but in Wisconsin I will not be going back.Edit in response to the owner's reply:I suggest you get some accurate measuring devices. I have spent many years in many kitchens, and would bet one of my houses that the pour we got was significantly less than four ounces, and probably less than three. Also that you could not fit eight ounces in that glass without a small explosion! Shall I return and measure for you?Also, I’m sorry, a menu item that includes a salad does not make it “complimentary,” which has a different meaning from “included.” Words have meanings. Regarding the dressing, my apologies. I misspoke. I should have said that it tasted like store bought dressing. And my main complaint stands - it consisted of three bites of lettuce and precisely one halved cherry (possibly grape…) tomato. Those are facts, which are not subject to either interpretation or debate.“The dumplings are actually a kind of Korean appetizer called mandu, very similar to but not the same as Japanese gyoza.”Hmmm. Mandu is a general term for Korean dumplings with savory fillings wrapped in thin wrappers. Wanna know what Gyoza means? It’s from a Chinese dialect (Shandong) giǎoze (Mandarin jiǎozi ), equivalent to giǎo “stuffed dumpling” + ze “little child” (used as a diminutive suffix). So Gyoza means “little stuffed dumpling,” or precisely what Mandu means! You can look it up. And none of that changes the fact that stuffed dumplings are “economy” food in nearly all cultures, and hardly deserving of such a rarefied price.“Yet the greatest misleading comment in the review states that the "signature noodle dish was appetizer size." That dish, the Drifters Noodles' weighs in at 15 to 16 ounces, that's a pound. An entrée carefully created from fresh ingredients, including marinated chicken, wide rice noodles, Asian sprouts and vegetables, plus a variety of spices and herbs that are difficult to get, but important to our chef. It is our single best-selling entrée.”I did not comment at all on the ingredients (though if you are finding spices and herbs difficult to get, perhaps I could recommend some sources), nor on how many you sell. My comment was regarding portion size. Again, if you think that is really 15 to 16 ounces, you should weigh it sometime. It was nowhere near a pound, and I did not think, based on many years and much experience, that it was worth the price.“The last sentence of your review is both disrespectful and demeaning. Not only to our restaurant, but worse it speaks to your obvious low expectations for the great things one will find in Wisconsin, and/or your seeming low opinion of New York and Chicago. I quote you here, "...get away with..." That verbiage is accusatory, implying dishonesty on our part. We are not trying to get away with anything as if we were sneaking about or trying to hide something. Ironically, since your name as listed on the review is clearly a nickname our only way to communicate with you is via this review. Peace, do no harm.”Goodness! I grew up in Wisconsin, and maintain much love for what makes the state great. Also, it was certainly not my intention to be either disrespectful or demeaning. My intention was simply to convey my opinions regarding my experience. The facts are not at issue, regardless of what you would like them to be, and my opinions are exactly that. Peace to you as well.

Awesome selection and a perfect restaurant on the Western edge of Whitewater.
Owner was rude didn't even greet us like other people the appetizers were good the bar tender was rude for the price the food was just OK I had fried shrimp dinner and it was served in a pie plate with paper liner it really wasn't the thing to s serve mashed potatoes and coleslaw in the potatoes were barely warm after spending 200.00 the 3 of us did expect a little more the server was the only kind person in there

We have been to Bingg's several times now and invariably get great food, great service, and great drinks. Their Asian dishes are great (not something you'd expect in Whitewater) and their fish fry is excellent. Every meal is always better than you expect and the service is always great.

Inconsistent in the food quality. Service is inconsistent. The place is cute. But the food isn't executed properly.

AMAZING!! The food was absolutely amazing, as was the service! We shared the Goonies Rangoon dip and pepperoni mozzarella sticks, I had the Drifter Noodles which were nice and spicy! The restaurant has such a quaint atmosphere. 10/10 recommend and we will be back!

Go to Binggs. You will not be sorry. The Goonies are awesome, and you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. I love the ambiance, especially to record player and records. These people know how to make you feel comfortable, welcome and well fed!
