    Brazen head burger 5-stars
    Nathan P.

    Came here to try the award winning burger and it didn't disappoint. In the current trend of thin and crispy smash burgers, this was not; a thick, fat and juicy patty cooked medium on a pretzel bun with a saucy cheese, perfectly cooked and high quality bacon, and fried onion ring, all the flavors blended beautifully, ratios were spot on, it was a sloppy, delicious masterpiece of a burger! Fries were not good at all, ranch seasoning/powder, meh...this burger would have paired well with some well done tater tots. I didn't even look at the rest of the menu, maybe they had them, lol? But if the rest of the food was this good, would like to come back and try some other things, as the place was packed at noon on a Thursday; not a ton of seating, but only waited about 5 minutes until someone left and a spot at the bar opened up. Service was friendly and fast. Will be my go to place for food in west bend from here on out, great spot!

    brazen head burger - A partially eaten burger with cheese, a beef patty, and a bun is placed on a metal tray alongside a large serving of French fries. The tray is on a wooden table, with other food items and paper wrappers visible in the background. The setting appears to be a casual dining environment at Brazen Head Pub in West Bend, Wisconsin.

    First time here. We came to taste a burger from the winner of the 2025 Wisconsin Beef Associations, Best Burger contest. And let me just say, if you like a good burger this (may be) the place for you. It's located on Main Street in West Bend. This area has gone through a real renaissance. The fixed up the street and sidewalks, have angled parking, and the lighting a nice. It's a real treat to be able to walk in this area of small shops and businesses. No stripmalls or big box stores. Very nice city planning! Came with a couple of friends, around 11:30. The Brazen Head Pub is one of many bars and restaurants in this area. This pub is pretty typical layout. It's long and narrow, a little dark (lighting and wood), has a long bar, and then a few high top tables. There is one larger table towards the rear that holds 6 people. Since there were 3 of us, we grabbed a high-top and stole a chair from the next table. (we had 4 people, not sure what we would have done). There was only one person (John) running all the table and managing the bar, and a couple of people in the small kitchen. John (our server) got to us after a short wait. Got our drinks and order placed right away. We ordered some Cheese Nuggets (white cheddar curds) and 3 different burgers. You can either "build your own" or order the standard "Brazen Head Beer Cheese Burger". The curds came out almost instantly. They were hot, with a side of ranch. They were good (not great, a little too much breading for my tastes). We waited a bit for the biggers, but they ended up being worth the wait. All were made perfectly to order, hot, lots of flavor, and very good portions. The Brazen Head Burger was tall, but manageable. The different elements were distinct and complementary. The cheese sauce had a big of a tang. The fries were okay, but could have been hotter. While we were there, the place filled up. Lots of other small groups, some at the long bar. With the additional people it got to be pretty noisy, to the point that it was hard to have a conversation. It didn't help that there was a speaker, right over the tables, with loud music. With only one person running all the tables, after our food came out, it was difficult to get our servers attention. Extra napkins and getting our check was a challenge. The experience was mixed. Definitely a place to get an amazing burger, cooked perfectly to order. However, the noise and the service (due to their popularity) was a bit lacking. I wish them luck as they adjust to their new popularity.

    This is my go-to spot for food and drinks when I'm visiting West Bend. The staff are super friendly, and the atmosphere is always pleasant and lively. There's limited seating inside, so plan ahead and avoid busy times. They truly have some of the best mozzerella sticks here--must try item!

    Amazing cheese curds and burgers!!! We're not from the area but we already want to come back !!! 10/10

    Tuesday special.
    Joe L.

    I found this place 3 years ago and was looking for a place to eat at 8:30 without being a chain restaurant. First time, I came on Tuesday and got the special for the day, and the burger was the best on a pretzel roll. The second time I came was Thursday and they have wings for $0.75 and they make all of their sauces in house. They sell out quick so I recommend coming early. Personally, I order wings naked, and get sauces on the side so they are still crunchy. They also have lots of specials each day so it's always a surprise. Their cooks and bartenders are the best!

    It's a burger.

    We went at around 2pm on a Saturday and it was reasonably busy for a place that presents itself primarily as a bar. The location in downtown West Bend is great and it's central to the farmer's market and everything nearby. We were acknowledged quickly after sitting at the bar and the staff checked in on us throughout the visit. This burger has been ranked in the top ten in Wisconsin, and I think the quality of the beef itself was great. It was cooked perfectly to my request (medium rare) and tasted much better than cheap burger meat. I do think Skippy's in Thiensville has them beat on toppings, but I'd eat here again, no question. The specials during the week are very appealing too, including 50 cent wings. I was intrigued by several of the non-burger entrees and may try that next time.

    Fried walleye
    Benjamin H.

    Visited for lunch on a Friday and it was not crowded at all. The food service was very fast. Since it was Friday, I went for the fish fry. He said that You can never go wrong with their Guinness battered cod, but that the walleye was exceptionally good this time. It was fried with bits of garlic, which made it very flavorful. It was quite moist and flakey. We also got the Reuben rolls, which were very good. They were pretty much a Reuben sandwich in an egg roll, just as advertised. I would get both dishes again.

    make your own burger & their monthly specialty fries (everything but the bagel)

    saw the best burger awards for WI so naturally had to try this. started with a Bloody Mary, which was fantastic. menu focuses mostly on a build your own burger -- which definitely works for me. lots of great sauces & add ons, so I was able to make it perfect for me. the burger was FANTASTICALLY cooked. so juicy & well seasoned ... and huge. definitely didn't need to finish it all but did because it was so good. I'd caution that it's a rather small place and I imagine gets pretty crazy during peak hours!!

    Fish tacos special. - Two fish tacos filled with chopped vegetables, sauce, and garnished with a lime wedge are served on a green tray lined with parchment paper. The tray also contains seasoned fries. The setting appears to be a restaurant with a wooden table, and condiments such as ketchup and mustard are visible nearby.

    Well I went for a late lunch was planning on a burger and the bartender suggested the fish Tacos special. Light and delicious great flavor and served with ranch fries. Left feeling very satisfied!! Definitely worth the visit and it was my first time. Thanks

    I've been coming to the Brazen Head since the day they opened and love it like it's brand new each visit. There isn't anything on this menu that disappoints.

    Bar view - The photo depicts the interior of a bar with a wooden counter and colorful stained glass panels above it. Bottles of liquor and glasses are arranged behind the bar, along with pink paper signs. Two glasses with striped straws and a plate of food are on the foreground table, along with a fork and napkin. The setting suggests a casual dining and drinking environment.

    Ordered the roast beef melt, it's sliced Cisco sandwich beef with some cheese on a microwaved bun. Disgusting.

    Tucked downstairs in a separate restaurant from the main part of the Kohler resort is this…read moredelightful restaurant. The bloody Mary is delicious full of so much flavor. Sometimes they have a golden bloody Mary, which is made with yellow tomatoes this also very tasty. A bonus is that you can choose any beer on tap for your chaser. Get the burger and truffle fries. If you have room for it, the cheese soup is divine.

    Spent the weekend at the American Club and loved the ability to eat at several different…read morerestaurants within the same resort. Each one is distinct, with its own menu and atmosphere. The Horse and Plow is a great spot if you have a group or family where noise is not a bug but a feature. We came here on our second evening around 7:00 for dinner. Food: The menu has a good selection of beverages and pub-style food. There is an extensive list of whiskeys, including bourbon and rye, lots of beers, and some specialty cocktails. We settled on a draft beer and the Plum Crazy cocktail, which was super yummy. For food, they offer appetizers, soups, salads, sandwiches, and a fish fry. There is even a Wagyu flat iron steak if you are interested in paying $75. We decided on the Double Butter Smashburger with truffle fries and the Walleye Fish Fry. The burger was good, although it could have been cooked a bit more to create more caramelized edges. The bun was good, but a bit too much bread for me, so I ate it open-faced. The truffle fries were delicious and could have been a meal in themselves. The walleye was battered and breaded with good texture, and the fish was flaky. I felt it was a bit overcooked, and the last several bites were very tough. Service: We did not have a reservation, and there were no tables available when we arrived. We took a spot at the bar, where the bartender got us an order of drinks. The service, both at the bar and at the table, was efficient but not especially friendly or outgoing. The food came out nice and hot, waters were kept full, and the check arrived promptly after the meal was finished. For those looking for a pub experience, this is a good spot. However, being at the American Club, I think I was looking for more of an elevated experience. This felt more like a place for a quick meal than somewhere I would feel compelled to return to. Atmosphere: It is a pub, and that is exactly what you get. It was very noisy at times, especially as larger groups were enjoying themselves.
