Your customer service tonight did not warrant cursing people with two balls on the table and 15 minutes left. Do not ask me to respect you when yell across the bar at my lovely lady when she is simply trying to finish the game and respect bar time while you use it as an opportunity to curse Dennis (bar owner). We know who Dennis is and how strict he is. It's his bar. I've never been talked to like that from any bartender in my life. Hopefully a simple misunderstanding? But it seemed like you simply were being unprofessional while intoxicated on the job. Please leave Stoughton!!!

He sighed and huffed like the job was beneath him and hurriedly went through the motions like he was begrudgingly readying to go orders at McDonald's. The martinis were ok - not bad, not amazing, and priced pretty high. If the bartender hadn't been so grumpy and seemingly put out by making anyone a drink, it would have been a cool place to hang out. But it was just very uncomfortable and unpleasant. I wouldn't return unless I knew there would be a different bartender there.

We chatted and played a few etab games (be aware: ticket cash-out will print behind the bar, so you have to go up there to ask for it-- they won't bring it to you). Place started out slow and picked up speed. Our bartender, who only works a few days a month, was cool and polite. He got a little overwhelmed towards the end, but the place seemed short staffed for a Friday. Positive: Kegger Tators we're delish! Tasted like a sour cream and chive mashed potato with crispy goodness on the outside. Petty melt had a decent rye bread. Improve: Chicken wings were a little dry but at least they're weren't undercooked. Sauces on the side were bottled whatevs, wish they were house made. Wish the fries were crispy and not shoe string. Burger size was small compared to the bread. By the end, we still had to go up several times to get service and the bar wasn't near full.

Time to update my review again -- and UPGRADE my review. I am consistently impressed by Viking Brew…read morePub. I love that it's a local joint, love that it has a legit Viking ship bar that blows smoke/steam, and love getting beer brewed on site. And a nice variety of beer at that. It had been awhile since I've been here, but it continues to be delicious. We came here for a Friday fish fry and while busy, the wait wasn't terrible at all. We went to the bar to grab a drink, and it seemed a bit wrong not to get a beer but it also seemed wrong not to get an Old Fashioned while waiting for a fish fry. So, Makers Old Fashioned Sour it was, and it was really good! I'd definitely order it again, and love that they didn't over-fill it with ice. It could sit for a bit and not get so terribly watered down. But OMG the fish fry! We try out a new fish fry spot every month, or at least most months, and I have to say this fish is probably my #1 that we've had. It was so delicious. The breading on the outside was light but crispy, and the inside was juicy and moist (sorry, it's really the best word to describe this!). I brought the third piece home (it took a lot of willpower not to eat it). I tear the breading off and give some of the fish as a topper for my pup's dinner. This fish and breading was seriously so good I'd eat the breading straight out of the refrigerator off the fish. The french fries were good, but had a few too many that were overly crunchy (reject fries, as I like to call them). Even so, still good and the fish still gets it 5 stars and the title of "Best." The roll that came with it was likewise delicious. Fun, local atmosphere and good food all around - the regular menu is great, the fish fry is great, the beer is great, and the drinks from the bartenders are great.

Elsa was a great and attentive server. Pepsi shop. The pretzel was great (we got the lingonberry…read moresauce instead of the mustard and it was a sweeter but very tasty substitute). The Norwegian meatballs were tasty (the brown gravy was a bit heavy) and the fresh roll was to die for! The chicken in my sandwich wasn't vey flavorful and did not bring out the flavor of the pesto aoli. I would go back to try other offerings on the menu.

And it's close to our house. And I drove past it for years. To Koffee Kup. To Pancake Cafe. To Luke's. All great. I didn't go here because in the boys' words it "looked sus". And it does. It looks like a divey bar on the outside. And unsurprisingly it is on the inside too. But What it IS is amazing food wise. Everyone talks about the French toast. Having never had RumChata in a cocktail I can't comment but that toast is OFF THE CHARTS. But so is the biscuits and gravy. A ton of meat. Service is strained but lovely. And when you see what that cook is working with you're even more impressed. A 6'X4' cooking station and you make this? Wow. My only complaint is the bacon. Not great. Not actually good. Worth a drive to Wittenberg to buy cases of odd cut Nueskes and this place is almost James Beard Award worthy. Appearances are deceiving. Do it!
