The food, however, very subpar. First was the Flat Iron Steak Sandwich. Basically, a French Dip. Looked promising but the steak was cut thick and very tough. Flavor was fine but chewy. Next was the Pig & Fig sandwich. Reports were good and positive. Last was the special "Fresh Lake Michigan Perch". This was not good. It was over cooked and tasted like it was fried in last week's oil. One bite was enough. Burnt taste and very dry. Our server was very apologetic, offered something else and took it off our bill. There are plenty of other places on Main Street. I'd try somewhere else. BTW - Dockside Tavern, nearby, was very cool & good. All with a lakefront view.

Everything arrived hot and fresh. The quesadilla was full of chicken and cheese, black olives and tomatoes. There was no skimping on ingredients and it tasted great. A win for the $8 price tag. The wings... they are the small ones but cooked to perfection with crispy skin and tender meat. I'm not a huge fan of any of the sauces so I cheated and used one I have at home. The cheese curds were good and affordable. Packaging was perfect on everything. Good job Molly McGuires!

Ordered online. Burger and mashed potatoes came cold. I have embraced this as normal for Oshkosh…read more Food just isn't hot here. It's a disappointment, but not the reason why I rate this place so low. The real kicker was the $2.50 Monster Energy drink. This is the price of the average 16 oz. can. It is labeled on their online ordering as "MONSTER" ENERGY DRINK," and there is no further information or options beyond how many you want. What they are actually selling are "Monster Minis" which are half the size of a regular monster. Despite clearly having misrepresented the product, I was aggressively told that this "was not their problem." If they're willing to behave like they did over a beverage, I can't imagine what they're doing to walk-in tabs, especially where people are drinking and not paying attention to what they're being charged for. This place is clearly a scam, you're better off at Magnet, Dr. Benzies, or Varsity Club. Avoid Molly McGuire's at all costs.

The well liked quesadillas was very good and packed with meat and cheese. $8!

Cheese curds. Good and affordable at $6

Whenever I'd hang out at the Lake Street Cafe (Elkhart Lake) during race weekends, I'd see the Calumet tapper and wonder what it was.

Super helpful and friendly, explaining everything. I started with the pickled egg because I was intrigued. If you like pickled anything and a little spice, this will not disappoint. I can't even begin to explain the fantastic flavor bomb that is the pickled egg. I also ordered the breakfast tacos for my main. I love a unique spin on breakfast foods because I can never find breakfast tacos near me except in my kitchen! Each taco was full of steak, cheese, eggs, grilled peppers, and onions. Very good! The steak could have used a little more seasoning as it was just ok in flavor, but I added hot sauce, giving it the pep it needed. My family all enjoyed their meals; a LARGE Reuben sandwich - heavy on the meat, no skimping on flavor. The Reuben Skillet was a deconstructed Reuben with two over-easy eggs on top of a bed of hash browns. The beer was great (per my husband and FIL)! They didn't try too many options as it was going to be a long day of drinking! The food was fantastic! A pleasant surprise considering some brewery food can be hit or miss. The most unique of all was the old cigarette machine that doubled as an art display. All pieces inside are available for purchase and are all made by local artists. Such a fun way to repurpose these machines and support local!

Great experiences both times. Service: Friendly and informative. They have a slim team but are incredibly efficient. Food: They pizza is incredible, the crust is untouchable. I ordered the Dirty Martini pizza (they don't have it anymore *cries in salty olive tears*). This pizza is one of a kind. If anyone else had this available in the Fox Valley I would go there every week to get my fix. It's salty, savory, creamy, crunchy and CRAVE-ABLE. We ordered one other pizza on the menu that is a standard offering, The 99 Corvette. This was okay but we both fought over who got more pieces of the Dirty Martini Pizza.

They do not have physical menus or servers to take people's orders; customers scan a QR code to get the online menu and order at the bar area. I can't speak to the craft beer and wine aspect to the restaurant, but they do offer some delicious craft sodas for people looking for nonalcoholic options. Although they have "normal" woodfire pizza choices (traditional pepperoni, cheese, etc.), the highlight is their rotating menu of inventive specialty savory and dessert pizzas. I found their "normal" pizza to be just ok, but the tomato soup pizza (Souper Slice) was incredibly flavorful and unique! It's definitely worth taking the leap of faith for some of their more out-there sounding pizza options. Since they have limited oven space to cook the pizzas, food can take a while to come out if it's busy. Plan ahead and use that time to relax and enjoy their drinks, or come during an off-peak time for less wait.
