"Go with the Caesar salad with your choice of dressing (house Blue Cheese, please!). Recommended: Wisconsin cheese curds. Fish n Chips. Shouldn’t have to ask for tartar sauce. We asked to hold the fish n chips to give us a chance to enjoy our salad and cheese curds, but they came out almost immediately, with a “sorry, the kitchen wasn’t busy.”"

"Overall, it was a good experience. This was my first visit, and let me say the burger was well worth the visit. Unfortunately I can't say the same about the service. Everyone was polite and friendly, but my service was lacking. My server was at my table 3 times all night. Took my order, checked on my order when food was brought out by someone else, and brought the check. I would have ordered another dring, but she never came back. The check with credit was sitting there so long to be paid. The hostess noticed and even said something. She apologized and processed the card for me. Despite the terrible service, the food is worth another visit."

"Everything was so good!! The food, the service, and the atmosphere. Those cheese curds are no joke excellent! We enjoyed our first time there today and we will be back again and again."

"The food was pretty good...a bit above average. The service was really good. It was busy when we went, but overall I'd say it was worth the wait. The cheese curds as an appetizer were amazing, and same with the firecracker shrimp."

"Trying to find new local places to check out, especially ones that have patios. I value a good neighborhood bar, so after passing this place for years, and this place came highly recommended, I finally stopped in! The atmosphere was very chill and relaxing. They even let you get a drink and sit on their a little patio while you wait for your table! A perfect date stop or a place to take yourself out on a date! Food was delicious! Definitely order any of their burgers with their garlic sauce! That garlic sauce was where it's at! Others have reviewed the same, and they weren't wrong! Staff was friendly and helpful. However, there were a couple issues we ran into was our waitress wasn't super attentive and just brought the bill without asking us if we needed anything else. They also forgot some of the items I asked for, like that garlic sauce (finally got to me, it was so worth the extra wait!). We also had an issue with the bill, which wasn't handled well by the waitress and they made things a tad awkward in front of my table and my guests, but over all, the visit was good. I'll be back and can't wait to try more items on the menu! Oh and their sangria is delightful!"
