I've always liked the Sparta side of Fort McCoy better than Tomah, as it just seems more like an individual small town versus a big-box thoroughfare. What a wonderful recommendation, I had a fantastic visit. My co-worker can second the old fashioneds! Staff was super friendly and service was attentive. Clearly there are locals and regulars coming in that know each other by name, but being out-of-towners we were still treated the same and welcomed. We sat at the bar (always my preference), but there is plenty of restaurant seating if you come here with a group or with your family. They have a decent beer selection on tap, and the menu can cover pretty much all appetites. I ordered the veggie burger, which was somewhat generic but nevertheless tasty and I ate the whole thing. Overall, I'd say the food here is good - maybe nothing crazy unique, but good, especially with the somewhat limited options in the area if you want to stay away from chains and fast food. I will absolutely be back for another dinner and continue to try out options on the menu. I'd really love to do the fish fry if I'm ever here on a Friday night. But, who needs dinner when you have dessert?! OMG I'd seen some photos of their desserts online, and even though I'm not usually a dessert person, these photos drove me here that night! Wow. The Brandy Alexander is absolutely incredible. It's large but my co-worker and I each ordered our own (and finished it completely). Anyone can make a Brandy Alexander you sip from a cup... but this was like a soft serve goblet of ice cream with the booze mixed in throughout. The BEST. I will be back here every time I'm in the area just for this (and then good food and beer is always a nice add-on).

You order Off a large touch friendly screen WHEN YOU WANT AND for EVERYONE YOU WANT - and then you go relax in very comfortable booths or high style counter stools or "friends fun round tables" with lots of room for your after school perps or your whole football team. They have an interactive CREATE BOARD for the little ones or the big ones. The high ceilings - favorable lighting, corner areas for privacy and extra large tinted windows everywhere makes it feel like you are in a very new cool environment..its fun or its just nice and relaxing.

Oh, and I'm on Fire, the hook of the tune, but the first line 'a the song closely aped a 50s-60's rocker lyric "Pretty little girl with the hah school sweater, skip that buoy, yew kin do better" with a melody that stole from "Way down yonder in the injun nation. savages rage at the indignation, of havin' to live on the reservation!" It was all ah could do ta keep from cryin' as the beertender called bar time. Friend of mine wrote the perfect closin' to a country & western soong evenin' in the tavern, and sent it to me. I wrote back an tole him it weren't good 'nuf cuz it din't say nothin' bout gittin' drunk, sawin' the bar in half with a chainsaw, or Mama's 2 year stretch in the pen.
