Great food and great atmosphere. The first floor is mainly the arcade with a window for ice cream and a bar on the side. The second floor hosts the restaurant with a good amount of seating (booth indoor and outdoor). The prime rib burger was pretty good, as were the tacos and side of fries. The cheese curds however stole the show! Probably some of my favorite in the area. Our server/bartender was quick and attentive. read more

The food was delicious! The French dip the best! My wife had the patty melt on sourdough bread and said it was a little dry. The fries were crispy. The coleslaw was amazing! We will be back. read more

If I could do half stars, I would rate 44 North a 3.5. I enjoyed the atmosphere and the food was decent. Our waitress opened with, it's a bad day to have such a bad hangover... and that showed in the promptness and attentiveness. I ordered the Alfredo with grilled chicken, it was fine. The most enjoyable part of my visit was the mojito flight. It was delicious for sweet drinks, but so sweet that I couldn't finish them. read more

Great venue for a party!! I just gave my friend a bridal shower. Great food, really great customer service and a fabulous space upstairs to hold any a small or large group! I have about 50 people . I was able to come in 3 hours to decorate and make the space perfect. The food selection has something for everyone! We decided to go with a buffet. They accommodate the vegetarian and gluten free folks with nice selections for them. If I have another party, I'll definitely use them again! Bryce, GM was informative and patient as I made the various selections. Easy and quick process. He was communicative and always returned my calls promptly. So happy we chose 44 North!! read more

I was refunded only a 1/4th of what I paid for a rehearsal dinner for almost 50 people. It was a steep price to pay 19.99 for their South of the Border taco buffet, which ended up looking worse than a taco bar in someone's garage. No cold food on ice. Toppings in 5 small bowls without enough tongs for each. Ran out of ALL toppings after 15 people and took over 30 minutes to replace when there were at least 20 starving people waiting to eat. Then as soon as that came they had no softshells and again took time to replace. Then ran out of plates, same story. Each time me having to run and tell them we needed items and it taking forever for it to be replaced. An embarrassment and beyond disappointing as guests kept trying to go get food and could not get their full meal. I spent time on what should have been a dinner celebrating an upcoming wedding, constantly having to tell the staff what was missing in order for us to eat. In the end the upper management person I talked to was completely unprofessional and 'decided' what was 'fair' for a refund and told me there was no response needed from me as our conversation (thru email) was going nowhere. So beyond upsetting as we were hoping for a beautiful event for our wedding weekend and it was a complete embarrassment. Ultimately management did an unacceptable job preparing and executing an event we paid a lot of money for and took no responsibility for the mess of a night that was the result of obviously being understaffed. read more

The food was good but my favorite part was the arcade games. The server was slow but more fun time that way you can win prizes with tokens

I'll admit I just love this place. I love that I can head upstairs and get a traditional dining experience or grab a drink and play some arcade games downstairs. The entire concept is right up my alley. We've been here several times but most recently for dinner. We sat at the bar upstairs and ordered an appetizer, wings, a sandwich, and some drinks. The bartenders are super friendly and everything came promptly. The food is delicious and the prices are reasonable for the excellent flavors and cool menu items. We will be back again and again. read more

The 5 of us are lifelong friends and we meet here once a month. The Waitress's are always friendly The Bloody Mary's and the broasted walleye are awesome! My wife likes the shrimp. read more

Excellent! Had the Cauliflower fritters and Pesto chicken sandwich ...both were delicious! The chicken pesto sandwich was truly outstanding! Would definitely get it again! The service is always excellent...and...cost wise ; a good value read more

First off, get the corn fritters. Then get the corn fritters again. After the fritters, most of this menu falls into the standard "American pub menu" category, but it is generally well-made, tasty, and service is typically pretty quick. There is nothing here that will blow your socks off, but the food is almost always satisfying and well prepared. read more

Service was poor. The servers were nice enough, but took too long. We ordered cheese curds with marinara and ranch. Only watery ranch came. Marinara came after we were done. My husband got his baked potato and asparagus about 10-15 minutes before his chicken came. The asparagus was good, but the potato was old and soggy, most likely yesterday's potato. We asked for more water, which came after we were finished eating. Not sure if it was because they were short staffed, but it wasn't packed and it was a Saturday evening. read more

Immediately seated outside on weeknight evening. Capable friendly service. Enjoyed the Bloody Mary flight. All were tasty. We have boneless wings as appetizer. They were good. Entrees were chicken Caesar salad and Caprese wrap with potato dippers. The potatoes were nothing special and the homemade ketchup was strange. read more

What a great date night spot! I came here with a coworker, but this place is for everyone! It's a great sports bar with an arcaded on the other side. The menu is very different but in the best way possible. We had the scallop sliders and we both had a salad since we weren't so hungry, but I will be back soon to try more! Great spot!!!! read more

As a party of 10 without reservations, I rate 44 North GREAT! We met here for an 11 year old family birthday party and "didn't think we needed reservations". LOL The staff was VERY accommodating. We waited about 15 min for another large party to leave and then were able to take their spot. Service was great, considering you could tell they were short staffed. As a prior Wisconsinite, it was great to be back in Wisconsin on a Friday for a Fish fry and 44 North did not disappoint. Delish Fish Fry, just what I was hoping for. Also, nice old fashioned! My family also tried the shrimp tacos, very good- little spicy for the orderer but delicious to me. We had some dietary needs with the group and the staff was extremely accommodating and everything came out as requested. After dinner we were able to let the kiddos play video games downstairs which rounded out a great experience! I would definately be back in the future! read more

Bloody flight is amazing and really the only reason I come here. 4 stars only because... Today my super power is invisibility. Going on 10 minutes at the down stairs bar waiting to be acknowledged, nothing. Went up stairs... I'm no longer invisible I guess. read more

44 North....I was excited to try this place because my in-laws has been once and liked the food. My husband and I joined them yesterday. We decided to eat outside because my mother-in-law needed extra space for her wheelchair. The inside, they only have tables and booths, or HIGH seating. We sat outside, and it was a little brisk. There were at least 4 pods for heaters setup, and we were thinking they could turn the heater on...Low and Behold they didn't have any propane. You offer heating outside, but no propane?...hmm... Let's start with the positive...the "North" side of things. We ordered the Pickle Fries for an appetizer. They came with ranch, and they were a decent size and VERY good! I ordered the rib basket for my entree, and mashed potatoes for my side instead of the potato dippers aka "fry strips"..My husband ordered the Coconut Shrimp and Coleslaw for his side. Here is where things started to go "South".... We had quite a bit of Pickle Fries. The waitress said she would get us some more ranch, and never came back with anymore ranch. When we got our entrees, my ribs were disgusting, I'm sorry, but just being honest! I KNOW when a place tries to add a "grilled or smoked" flavor to foods by adding liquid smoke...It was disappointing to know that my ribs were basically oven baked and the sauce had an abundance of liquid smoke. The ribs tasted weird, and it was just disappointing to say the least. If you're going to offer ribs, PLEASE get a char grill and throw them on there. I make a really good BBQ sauce and would love to make them myself! I do, however, have to say my mashed potatoes were really good, and besides the Pickle fries, they were the best thing I had, even though they were cold when they came out to me. Our waitress was nowhere to be seen for a long time, which was not good customer service. Needless to say, this was not a good first experience. I want to possibly try again, but after that experience, I don't know. My husband didn't care much for his Coconut Shrimp, and his Coleslaw was not creamy as it states on the menus. Also...please consider getting your menus laminated. There was ranch that was dropped on it, and the waitress said it was ok, it would just wash off...but it's a paper menu? I'm hoping this place gets better! read more

This is an interesting place. The main floor is bar/restaurant and video arcade making it quite noisy. We were there on a Friday evening and the arcade was busy. We have eaten here for lunches and it wasn't as noisy. Fortunately it was a beautiful night so we opted for outdoor dining. It was quiet and wonderful We've always enjoyed the food but last night our waitress, Brooke, was an added pleasure. She interacted with us playfully and humorously. We had a blast with her. She made the night. read more

Service was good. However the traditional wings were not. They were dry and tasted old. The French onion soup was tasty. Nice relaxing atmosphere read more

***NOTE: the restaurant is above the arcade, take the stairs to the left inside*** At the tail end of our family trip, we were looking for some brunch before heading home. It was a little confusing with their sign on the building but the doors said "44 Below" with an arcade inside; nonetheless, we figured it out soon with the big sign inside. The waitstaff were very kind and the food was great! I went with the brunch biscuits and sausage gravy and it's safe to say I was the first one done, haha. We sat on the patio and enjoyed the wild life as 2 eagles nested near by. Definitely a great spot on the river! read more

Easy to park out front on a Friday night. Great upstairs covered patio feels like treehouse dining ! GOOD music and still able to talk. Big portions can share the Cubano...and potatoes.. Side salad could be spinach but..honey mustard dressing good Service was spot on even when we asked to have our table moved 3x Everyone had plenty to eat and staff willing to make adjustments on the choices Would be great for families with kids since plenty of places to play games downstairs read more

Fun atmosphere with an arcade downstairs and cool decor. The service is always good. I highly recommend the happy hour nachos with chicken. Great bang for your buck, and they are so good. There is so much chicken! read more

The upstairs is a really nice and open restaurant. They have outdoor spaces for lounging and eating. The food selection is good and the beer menu has lots of local choices. The waitstaff was mostly attentive and responsive. We ordered a wide variety off of the menu. It was all good. They have vegetarian choices however it's not broad. If you eat fish you have more choices. read more

Service could of been better, we had to ask for her to come back to serve us and the restaurant was not even busy but we hardly could get our server/bartender to come to our table. Definitely needs to step it up in the service world. read more

Loved this place! It's very modern and stylish to say the least. Everything we had was delicious. I have the shrimp tacos with rosemary fries. My boyfriend had the Tennessee chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries. He really loves the sweet potato fries, normally he doesn't. Will definitely be coming back. Lots of good stuff on the menu. read more

This place has one of the poorest services of any restaurants in the Chippewa Valley. The food is mediocre.

Went to 44 North restaurant in Altoona, last night. Had excellent food but when it came to pay it was a nightmare. We had a $50.00 gift card our bill was 47.50. We left the waitress $7.00 additional tip besides the 2.50 left on card. The manager told us we still owed 6.00 because Westconsin CU charges them 6.00 to activate their card. I said no I activated it before we came and it said it was 50.00. He argued with me so I finally gave them 6.00 more dollars. Will never go there again for food. Terrible experience. Will NOT recommend this place. Never heard of how stupid that manager was. Didn't get his name or would have called and complained today but we were so mad we didn't think to get his name. I should have kept the card as well because there was still money on it. read more

The food is good quality and reasonably priced. Great "burger" options that can all be made with beef, chicken or a veggie burger. Definitely a place we will return to. read more

Ordered blackened blue cheese sirloin. Flavor was good but food was cold. Seems like they are short handed cause service was pretty slow. Will give it another try. Menu is does look pretty sweet. Hopefully they have a good enough cook to uphold it Returned. Had jumbalya. It was good. Bro in law ordered fish fry and it was way over cooked. Could not hardly pull it apart. Waitress was nice but slow. We waited for 45 min to get our food at limited capacity. Burger average. Probably done eating here read more

Very disappointed in our experience for the price we had to pay. Had a 30 minute wait for a table. That didn't bother us as we got a drink at the bar. As our buzzer rang we walked upstairs to be sat down at a booth. We were greeted by a waitress asking for drink orders. We still had ours from downstairs so we were content. She left and came back minutes later to order. She started by saying, "I just want to inform you, we will have to hold your food order for 15 minutes after you order as we have some people with reservations in front of you." A couple things: 1. We just waited a half hour for a table...Why do we have to wait an extra 15 minutes on top of food prep to get our food? 2. COVID rules only allow 50% capacity...How slow is it at full capacity? 3. Why make a waitress tell a customer that? After this, our appetizer (Nachos, 10/10) came out and within 10 minutes our entree came out. No silverware was at table until we asked when they came back after dropping off our main entree. Our Prime Rib was overcooked and tough, almost like they literally put it in a warmer for 15 extra minutes after we ordered because we didn't have a reservation. Overall, great atmosphere, slow service and below average food. The slow service seemed like a staffing issue. Save your money. read more

Interesting concept... game arcade and hipster sports bar/restaurant Went upstairs looking for my party. Ordered a bourbon rocks...but didn't know any of the bourbons so had bartender choose one. It was so sweet I couldn't take more then a sip. My bad but the need to at least carry a Jim Beam. .. kinda like a bar without a Miller lite. Found my party. Ordered an Arugula salad. And that's what I I got: a floret of Arugula and a 1/4 wedge of iceberg salad with a few cherry tomatoes at the bottom of the plate.... for $11 DOLLARS? Sorry new place...swing and a miss. read more

Went there for lunch, Prime Beef burger was great! I had the Reuben sandwich, best one ever! We will be back!

I went for the candied bacon and the scallop sliders. Neither of those were on the menu. Very confusing... I ended up with some nachos. They were pretty good. Who doesn't like nachos though. read more

Burger was tasteless, ribs were not good, steak was overcooked and returned to be brought back as they said they made a new one but pretty sure it was the same steak. They took a whole $6.00 off the bill. Cheese curds were good. Mixed drink was missing the bitters. We were here not long ago and was not good. It use to be. Well never be back!​ read more

My girlfriend and I were excited to go to back to 44 North as it had been a while since we had been there. We typically order the shrimp tacos as we have loved them in the past but were extremely disappointed when our food came. Our shrimp taco had literally had ONE shrimp cut in half on each taco to look as if it was two. 95% of the taco was pico which made the tacos very soggy. very disappointed and wont be back. read more

We had went for a late night snack and they were only serving select appetizers. There weren't many employees but the bartender helped us with everything we needed! The food was really good and so were the drinks. It's a really fun, modern atmosphere and they have lots of interesting things to do such as wine and food pairing events and Valentine's Day dinner packages. Also, they have a great brunch selection on Sundays with $8 bottomless mimosas! Can't go wrong with that! read more
