Would have loved to see happy hour or day time specials especially during the summer to bring in peeps. Very empty for Monday 2/3p during World Cup. Definitely has the potential to be a fun place. Food: Cheese Curds and spicy shrimp apps were tasty and great - 5/5. "Smashed" burger was not smashed at all lol no crispy edges and too thick for a smash burger. More like a normal double cheeseburger in my book. Added a Charred jalapeño - was awesome Onion bun also not the right vehicle for smash burger - top bun was burned and rock hard - so ate it open style with.knife and fork as a soft Potato Bun is what you ideally need for a smash burger. Really disappointing that the chef put out food with a burnt bun when the place is only 10% occupied. Burger was 4/5 but 2/5 as a "smashburger." spicy buffalo chicken wrap - 4/5 Grilled Chicken salad - 4/5 Mac and cheese -4/5 Fries were like the battered type and not crinkle or skinny. 4/5. Dip sauces were all great- good honey mustard, buffalo, blue cheese, and ranch.

The Yelp reviews were mostly five stars, and it was touted to be a locals' favorite, so we decided to give it a try. We both chose the patty melt with a cup of vegetable soup. The soup sounded like an excellent choice on this cold cloudy day. The food, the service and the ambience were all wonderful. We finished off the meal sharing a slice of hot peach pie with vanilla bean ice cream. It was all fantastic.

The tater tots were also made fresh, and the portion was huge--definitely enough to share between three people. I also tried one of their ciders on tap (forgot the name, unfortunately), but it was really good. I'll definitely be back for the cider alone. The show that night wasn't really my type of music--I'm not into heavy metal--but I get the appeal for those who are. There was a $20 cover at the door, which I didn't know about, and honestly felt a bit pricey for the experience. Maybe I would've enjoyed it more with a different genre. That said, the bartender was super nice and helpful with drink options!

The server advised she could make the banana pudding GF without the wafers so we opted to try it. Everything was delicious and the server was very knowledgeable. The GF menu had a lot of options so def will come back.

They have many TVs; a large bar; and outdoor seating. My server was also very gracious in making multiple rounds as I was a bit indecisive. Cons: The booths are REALLY low to the ground IMO (I am 6'4"). The food offerings are a bit random and simply were not appealing to me. I.e., I don't go to an American pub for sushi. Also, I didn't like that the appetizer prices are literally only $5 cheaper than entree prices.

Their menu is huge - lots of different options. But I can only speak to what I had. My fellow diners were pleased with their meals - a Reuben made with turkey and a burger in a lettuce wrap. Both had sweet potato fries. Both said their meals were good. I decided to try their skirt steak. It comes with mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables but I substituted tater tots for the potatoes. The skirt steak come smothered in grilled onions and mushrooms. I have to admit, it was pretty good. It was not the quality of steak you would expect in a steakhouse like Morton's. But for the price, I thought it was quite good. The vegetables are steamed and not spiced at all. A little salt and pepper made the difference. Lastly, the tots were crisp and very tasty. The service was good. And, the booth was clean and it wasn't particularly loud, so we were able to talk. We won't wait as long to go back to the Donkey Inn again,
