    Chicken Sandwich with artichoke dip
    DeAnna S.

    I had lunch today at The Big Lady. It was my first time here. I was impressed with the atmosphere. It's very clean and open. Large windows face Lake Onalaska for an incredible view. There is a large patio for those who prefer to dine outdoors. I tried the Ahi Tuna Bites as an appetizer. It is served on crisp rice paper, jalapeño, pickled carrot and onion, wasabi vinaigrette. It was so flavorful with a bit of a kick. This will be my go to appetizer. I debated on trying a sandwich from the lunch menu or the daily special. I was glad I tried the daily special. It was a Chicken, Bacon & Spinach Artichoke Sandwich. I chose to get my chicken grilled. It was breast meat that was so juicy. It was topped with smokey bacon, fried onions, and house-made spinach artichoke dip, all served on a seeded bun. The spinach artichoke dip made this sandwich! It was smothered in it and was delicious! I chose French fries for my side. They are thin cut fries and are seasoned with just the right amount of salt. The lunch menu is different from the dinner menu. I can't wait to go back to try another sandwich from the lunch menu or an entree from the dinner menu!

    Had the beef tenderloin it was so good.

    Stopped in Wednesday to check it out and try a burger on their BOGO special night. I was surprised…read moreupon entering at 4:00 on a Wednesday to only see one table of two and three patrons at the bar. Alright, this is my speed, not too busy....yet... I also opted for their Happy Hour special of Buy 2 draft beers get one free. I didn't ask before starting to drink.... if I have someone joining me, can we split the drinks? On my second beer bartender Austin produced like a poker chip for the free beer, stating I could use it today or another time. When my guest arrived we were discussing the chip... me "where did I put it?" Them "back in your purse" ...no, no I did not! When Austin came around I asked if he had taken the chip? He said he had, to use for my friends beer. Cleared that up and was met with: no they're on their own, I will use that token, ha. But good to know you can essentially split them and I should have! The tap beer options aren't overwhelming and aren't sparse as I was able to opt for three separate craft breweries. For the burgers; I opted for the Wildfire and them for the Bacon Cheeseburger. When I adjusted mine for no pickles, onions or jalapenos, Austin replied: so just a cheeseburger then? I responded: no, because it also has the special sauce. My friend opted for a side of coleslaw.... which was just coleslaw, nothing special. I opted for fries, they were good. The three included w the price side options are: fries, kettle chips & coleslaw. Parking was easy w their private lot. I really liked the digs and they weren't too loud. I was a little put of when I began chatting up the traveler next to me when she said she was told she couldn't be seated at a table as she was a solo guest. I don't agree w that, especially when it wasn't busy yet....Thanks Crossroads for a delicious burger, cheers!

    Very tasty hamburger and milkshake combo! Crack fries are served as upgrade. Worth it!…read more Service is friendly and poignant. The restaurant it self is clean and spacious with a nice bar area.

We weren't sure what to do next and overheard other guests confused about this too -- it felt like we had to follow her without clear instructions. The food was great, and the prices made it easy to try different options. Our server was attentive and kept the coffee coming. We liked it so much we came back the next day just for the food. One small issue -- they only gave us two utensils for three people (both times!), so we had to ask for another. We also had to ask for a coffee spoon both times. Cleanliness was a bit questionable; I noticed a used straw wrapper near the condiment station. When it was time to pay, we waited about 10 minutes at our table before realizing payment is made at the counter. At the counter, it felt awkward being loudly asked how much we wanted to tip. We intended to leave $10 on a $40 bill but ended up tipping $8 instead. Overall, the food and service were solid, but the front-of-house experience and cleanliness could be improved.

I like the "neighborhood atmosphere" of this place, and the food is usually quite good. Today 7-24-26, I went in as a sole customer at approximately 2:00 PM -- a non-busy time -- and sat at a 2 person table a few feet from the bar. I was ignored for approx. 17 minutes. I was starting to wonder if they perhaps only did bar service at that time, but no signs were posted, and no one said a word to me. Furthermore, a few other customers, came in at this point & also sat at tables. Just before I was ready to walk out (20 minutes of being ignored is the limit) , the barkeep called over to ask if a server had seen me. I responded "No" and she said she'd let her know I was there. Nothing. After about 5-6 more minutes, the barkeep herself came & took my order which included food & a drink. The food, (their Friday fish), as stated before, was great. Absolutely no server checked on me during the 50 minutes between my food being served, and the time I left, to see if I needed anything. The barkeep called over to me once, about 5 minutes after my food arrived, to ask if I needed anything. At one point, in addition to the barkeep, I counted 3 other employees going in & out of the back room, and two of them were actively serving -- other patrons. Patrons at other tables--couples, and gentlemen -- were checked on numerous times during this period. After I had finished eating, I sat with my remaining food to one side, and an empty drink, for approx 25 minutes. Finally a server stopped literally 5-6 feet from my table -- didn't even actually come to my table-- & called over "Do you need anything?" I suspect my "infuriated vibes" were starting to permeate the premises at that point. I responded that I needed a box & my tab. Had I been approached even 20 minutes earlier, I probably would have ordered another drink. Honestly, this was disappointing in a place I really have had warm thoughts on. Will it stop me from going in again? Probably not... the food is good, and that's primarily what I'm there for. But my strategy will likely be different next time. 'Not as a quiet, polite & reserved female customer. I suppose I'll need to "belly up to the bar" along with the rest of the dudes.
