Best meal out I've ever had in Eau Claire. They have it all- kid friendly atmosphere but in a super…read morecute instagramable old brick building with a bar. Foods kids will eat but with more refined options for adults- like the brussels and cauliflower which were crazy good. Tender florets with crispy exterior and well seasoned. The burgers were super tasty and honestly ate more like a sandwich (in the best way) because of the seasoning and other components. Adults had the mushroom- swiss and the OB. The kids cheeseburger was large and came with a generous serving of fries. 5yo also loved the cheese curds. They were a slightly distinctive style with cornmeal in the breading so very crunchy even after cooling off. Waitress was friendly and accommodating and food came promptly. We will 100% be back on our next trip to Eau Claire in the Spring. I would eat the cauliflower weekly if we lived close by. I also loved that they had dye free sodas and rootbeer.

First time here. Came with a small group after hearing they had excellent burgers, so we stopped in…read moreto check it out. It's a vintage-looking building with a fenced outdoor area filled with tables and metal chairs. Umbrellas provide shade if needed. Inside, there's a bar with seating and several tables of different sizes. The space has a vintage vibe with bare brick walls, a metal ceiling, wood floors, and even a six-foot-high metal vault door. We were greeted right away by our cheerful server, who explained the menu and took our drink order. I went with the mocktail, St. Peri Spritz (there's also a version with alcohol). While waiting for the rest of our group to arrive, we played some of the games available. There were several other groups there, some with kids, and the noise level was just right for conversation. When everyone arrived, we placed our full order: cheese curds for an appetizer, then a variety of burgers with sides including fries, Brussels sprouts, and cauliflower. The cheese curds came out first -- a generous portion and served hot. The breading had (what I think) chili flakes mixed in, giving it a little spice without being overpowering. Very good. The accompanying Spicy Valley Sauce was a nice addition and, again, not too hot. The burgers followed shortly after, and they were all excellent. I had the Wisco Whiz with cheddar, whiz, bacon, dijonnaise, caramelized onion, pickles, and a pretzel bun. It was almost perfect. The only disappointment was the bacon, which was tough and detracted from an otherwise amazing burger, so I set it aside. All the sides we ordered were also very good -- my Brussels sprouts were outstanding. Overall, a fantastic first visit. Excellent burgers, friendly service (thanks, Aubrey), and a casual atmosphere. Would love to come back again (hold the bacon).

Cedar Lodge was pretty busy upon our arrival, but we managed to find a table right away (it's seat…read moreyourself). The menu had so many tempting options on it. We started off with the chili beer cheese totchos, which came out pretty quickly. They were very flavorful and everyone enjoyed them. It took a long time for our entrees to come out. It eventually got awkward as the dining room we were in nearly emptied completely, except for one other table that ordered right after us. I had the ribeye, medium rare, with garlic parmesan fries and mac & cheese. The ribeye needed more seasoning and some areas that were seared/charred literally hurt my teeth to chew. My mom ordered the honey bourbon chicken & shrimp and she was sooooo happy with it that she talked about it for two days. My husband had the chicken marsala pasta with crispy chicken and he felt it had been sitting in the window for a while as it was barely warm. Now, we finished eating, got to-go boxes, paid, and as we were leaving the guys next to us that ordered right after us still didn't have their entrees, so there were definitely some issues with the kitchen that night. I guess maybe I'd go for lunch next time and hope it's different during the day.

Place is great best food you can find anywhere around here and prices are good…read more Good bartenders beverages are very good and waitresses are very attentive and friendly. Whole experience makes you feel like you belong there and are always welcomed

The sign in front of burgers said ribeye or new York strip 2 for 30 dollars I thought with today's…read morebeef prices that was too good to be true and I was right.So on our wedding anniversary I said let's stay local and eat at Burgers.Big mistake!! They were out of the steak offering a small sirloin instead at that point we should've left,but I said well let's just order something else.so I order half rack of ribs and my husband a sandwich .The ribs came out with no sauce and tasted old I couldn't eat them I mean ribs with no sauce who does that??The waitress was sarcastic and very unprofessional.Burgers lost our business I guess they depend on the drinkers from the bar because they're to drunk to know what the food tastes like.I guess they need to do false advertising to get people in.So if you only want fries that's the place to go because that was the only food that was edible

One of the worse burgers I have had in my life and that includes fast food. Not only was it…read moreincredibly small- especially for an almost $14 burger (in a small town in WI no less) but it tasted reheated- dry, with no flavor and was slapped upside it's sorry dry face with a slice of processed American cheese. It was served with supposed hand cut fries that tasted like they were frozen fries you make in the oven. Everything came lukewarm, the processed cheese refusing to even give me the small pathetic victory by agreeing to melt on top of the dry meat pile. Even the cheese wanted out of this pathetic mess and back into the safety of its crinkly Kraft wrapper. I eyed the A&W right across the parking lot with a tear in my eye and thought once again of my bad life choices. I will never be eating here again and honestly wish I had read the reviews to save myself this experience and my $$. It's not too late for you.
