It always seems like there is a really relaxed vibe and the low lighting and heated bar really add to this experience. I used to think that The Abbey was just a bar (by no means a bad thing!) but I stopped in for lunch and had a spectacular pulled pork sandwich a few days ago. Dare I say it... The best pulled pork sandwich in downtown Menomonie?! The sauce sounds like it would be weird because there is mustard in it but I can confirm that it is delicious and really makes the sandwich. Props to The Abbey for having a limited menu and having a few really good dishes instead of a bunch of average bar food. Apart from the atmosphere, food and staff there are really good drink specials at The Abbey as well! Every day there is a near unbearable special. When school is in session these deals are definitely taken advantage of by the Stout students. If I had to credit this place for just one thing it would be that the building itself is such a relaxing place. No flashing lights, no overly loud music and no amateur DJ screaming at the top of their lungs like other bars in Menomonie. Even yet, if inside is a little too much you can always step out onto the patio. If you're looking for a relaxed cocktail in Menomonie this is your place.

And just when you think your whole day is shot because the slaw has broccoli (we know that Wisconsinites loathe anything that did not have parents) bam - there's bacon in it! Abbey (from the Abbey) is the coolest Abbey I know. Much cooler than any other Abbey, including Westminster and Downton. My dog enjoys the back patio where she can chill and dream about all the wonderful smells that waft from the kitchen. The sandwiches are amazing. The drinks are made well and the free chaser is like a prize my liver didn't know it won.

We have stopped in twice on our way through town…read more From the outside it doesn't look like much but the inside is very nice. Several seating options from sitting at the large bar, high tops, low tops and a community high top bar. They have a game area with a pool table and a pull tab machine. As far as the food, we ordered the fried pickle spears which are crispy and tasty. The chicken wrap is delicious with some chipotle mayo. My husband said it is one of the best wraps he has eaten. The Rueben was also delicious. The flavor was right on. The burger is a 1/3 pound burger so it is thin like a thawed out frozen patty and not very juicy. It wasn't bad, just not what I would expect from a place like this. I wouldn't order this again. Fries and tots were hot, crispy and flavorful. Now, the staff has been very friendly both times we stopped in. My two cents, two people behind the bar plus the cook is not enough. We noticed they were running around getting orders mixed up, total confusion, people waiting in their checks for a while. They need more staff to help with a busy bar. We liked 7 Brothers and will stop in again.

Mostly a place to drink, a mixed experience with the food & service - 3 stars…read more I met 2 local Clear Lake friends for lunch. One of them thought everything was only a sad 2 stars. The other thought our visit was a good 4 stars. Personally, I'm averaging it out to a solid 3 star experience. I have mixed feelings about Rooster's Roadhouse. I expected something great but I ended up being somewhat disappointed. I'm willing to cut them some major slack, however, because of staffing shortages. And our server told us the main cook has been out sick for nearly a month. Our food ranged from really good to lame. Our burgers were great. The Roadhouse burger was so good, I ordered a 2nd one to take home. The soup was decent. The boneless wings sucked. They were dry and they had a weird flavor. The ham & swiss stacker was okay. But they charged 70 cents for each little deli cup of mayo. So it was $1.40 for 2 little side cups of mayo (that should have been on the sandwich in the first place). I thought this was a little odd and irritating, especially since all of the prices (food & booze) are very reasonable. The service overall was pretty good considering the bartender was our server, she was alone, and there was a full bar. The 3 of us were the only people in the dining room. But she brought out a couple of wrong items. And she couldn't answer any basic questions about the food or the beer. She pleaded ignorance and said she didn't know anything. I appreciate the honesty. For example, I asked her what company brewed Moose Drool Ale and what state they're in...she didn't know...cool, no problem. But when I walked by the bar, I noticed it was all printed out in big letters on the beer tap. She couldn't read the tap when she was filling the glass? Strange - I don't get it. I don't know what's going on at Rooster's...staffing shortages, burnout, laziness, lack of training? No clue. But I probably won't go back to this one. Our recent visits to the neighbors (Laurel Supper Club and Vinny's) were waaay better. And both of those joints are only a couple minutes down the road. One final note about the people: I'm from Minnesota and I can't help but notice how friendly everyone is in this part of Wisconsin. That includes the staff at various businesses and the customers I've run into and random strangers. The friendly laid back demeanor is very noticeable when I cross the St. Croix River. It makes me seriously consider moving to Wisconsin. Thumbs up to rural Wisconsin! - Maxx
