We stopped by the Shafer Bar and Grill for a quick bite to eat. Turns out, it was not a quick bite…read moresince we waited over an hour for our food (which was a few tacos and a burger). It did look to be pretty understaffed and the server was friendly, but she never checked in on us after we ordered and there was no transparency about the delay. When we did get our food, it was pretty good but there was no apology or anything about the wait. It was also a very small place with only a few customers in it so I was a little confused about the whole situation. It was disappointing, but maybe it was just a one-off experience. May try again!

We ate here for the first time on a Friday night. While the bar and restaurant were clean, and the…read morefood was very good, the service absolutely sucked. I don't know who if anyone was managing but whomever it was wasn't doing their job. We joined our friends for dinner there. We sat down, and no kidding, after 15 minutes of not even acknowledging our presence we had to ASK to put in a drink order!! I mean the place wasn't busy at all, and there's no way they didn't see us. It took another 10 minutes for them to take our food order, and then after 30 minutes, and watching others who came in after us getting their food, we asked about ours...they forgot to put our food order in and blamed it on the printer in the kitchen. If it was the printer then why did others get their food?!? So they lied on top of it. Then the four people who ordered burgers got their meals, but they forgot me because I ordered a bacon chicken ranch wrap. When they brought my wrap after I had to ask for it, there was NO CHICKEN in the wrap! I was so hungry I ate it anyway. But really?!? Where was the manager? More importantly where was the owner?!? Neither one gave a damn about us! We won't be back. Even if the food is good, and the place is clean, awful service ruins the entire experience. BTW - we tipped our server well anyway...

This is a typically shabby bar just over the Wisconsin border in St Croix Falls. They even still allow smoking inside! I first came here with a very close friend, so this place has special meanings for me. It was nice to stop and recapture that wonderful time in my life. But alas, good things must end, but The Kassel Tap carries on. Actually, this is a classy dive bar. They have 2 kinds of pickled eggs ----- SPICY & NOT SPICY, enough said. If you pass thru, stop for a cold beer, but don't expect anything crafty. Not happening. But, expect a friendly bartender, and friendly patrons. And a clean enough restroom.

Nice hidden gem along the St. Croix River in Marine on St. Croix. Had no idea this place was here…read morebecause you drive back through a neighborhood off the main road towards the river and come to what looks like a big shed with an old sign on it that says Marine Landing. You are in the right place! Park in front the shed and walk on the left side of it to get back to the restaurant. There is a small indoor area to sit at, a covered porch, or a deck right next to the river. You can order off the breakfast or lunch menu from 8-2 and they have a Friday dinner as well. I had the breakfast with 2 eggs, choice of meat, hash browns, and toast (gluten free available) for $9.50. Pretty standard diner type breakfast. The meat and veggies are from local farms. Hash browns and bacon were crispy and good. Small menu but they take requests for sides, substitutions and said the menu is more of a "guideline." Food is nothing spectacular but the ambience of being on the river is pretty great. And they do NOT accept credit cards so come prepared with cash or check! Open Memorial Day through Labor Day and closed in the winter.

The bar tender told us they only have a breakfast buffet on Sundays. While I was looking at the breakfast buffet, a gentleman approached and asked if we were staying for the buffet. I explained we were in town for the gymnastics tournament and were looking for food to go so we could feed our kids who were at the gym. His name is Harry, and he owns Lucky's Bar and Grill. Harry said the buffet items probably wouldn't work, and the grill is closed but he does have some home-made pizzas that he could make. Harry was so overly-accomodating and treated us like family. The pizzas were awesome and Harry, you are the best!

While traveling recently to MN and WI for a family reunion and family farm roots search I stayed…read morewith relatives in Clear Lake, WI. Clear Lake has a populaiton of about 1000 with a downtown of five to six square blocks surrounded by many churches with a long history of German and Norwegian settlment dating back to the late 1800's. Lucky's Bar and Grill is the primary meeting spot for the locals. I ate breakfast with my cousin two mornings in a row and was invited to join the revolving table of strongly opinionated farmers and farm equipment manufacturers. After a few minutes I could quickly see politics and farming were the two primary topics of discussion. I will duck the biased political viewpoints but one of the farmers had an interesting point. Why are we growing corn to make ethanol when there is plenty of oil in the ground. From a farmer's perspective maybe he is correct and we need to look for oil in the right location. Another farmer and his twin brother invented the mechanical bean picker while in high school and run a farm equipment company a few blocks away employing a hundred people. Later in the morning we stopped by to visit PBO and received the cooks tour. PBO is also known for making civil war cannon replicas down to the last detail and fires them at many civil war functions around the country. Another farmer puts out scores of nesting boxes for martins which are similar to swallows. We also visited his farm and saw tens of martins flying all over the place. All in all a lively hour long form of entertainment plus cheap breakfast with farm fresh eggs, bacon, toast or oatmeal and toast. Where else can you get breakfast for three with coffee for under $15 and be entertained?
