This can be hit or miss like any restaurant. Some nights its the best food around, other times it seems like they're possibly training new kitchen staff and one person has what they expected and the other person at the same table is left slightly wanting. The service is always welcoming and respectful, regardless of how the meal came out, the servers are always above and beyond 5 stars. read more

Nice facility, great staff that are friendly and efficient. We were disappointed in the cod fish fry dinner itself as portions were small, but quickly delivered. Good selection of draft beers. read more

Bring back the haystack onion rings! Those were so good, wish they still had them as an appetizer. Still have the best cheese curds, and the ranch is by far my favorite. The wings are always good, but portion sizing varies each time, not really consistent. The fried pickles are another must try. We just love the breading they use here, it's light but flavorful. The restaurant area has limited seating and fills quickly. Larger bar area with bar top tables as well, it's not huge but serves it's purpose. They can get really busy and that is when we notice service isn't always the best. Sometime the waitresses seem snippy and overwhelmed. There are many different options at the bar, the bloody mary is a top fav of mine. Fish is also really good. They close by 8pm so definitely plan accordingly. Parking can be tight. They do have some parking in the back, but people don't know how to utilize the lot properly. Overall, still one of our top places for wings and curds! read more

Food is the best ever. Employees are really nice. Good music and vibes. 5 stars......................................

Had a $17 salad that was not good or worth the price. I've had much better salads before at other restaurants and was happy to pay the extra money for it. There was hardly anything to the salad. Service was poor. Extremely hard to get waitress attention. Friend had fries with her meal and they came out cold. As a cook you should be proud to serve your food. I won't be back! read more

I was there on a Saturday evening. I went for the Saturday special Prime Rib Au Jus. Price was reasonable. It was filling. Meat was good. Asparagus was the side vegetable, which was good. For the choice of side, I went with with French onion soup, which was ok. read more

A family member had driven by this place a bunch of times and thought it looked like a cute place to enjoy a Friday fish fry. So we made the drive out to this place and were not disappointed. This seemed like a down-to-earth local place with good food and good drinks. We arrived relatively early so it wasn't super busy yet, but we opted to wait to be seated until a little later and enjoy an old fashioned out on their patio. The old fashioned was very good. The patio is up close to the road with an area of trees just beyond that. It is nice to watch cars roll by the country roads and enjoy the greenery beyond. It was definitely getting steadily busier and by the time we went in to be seated, it was a full house. Friendly staff and good service. I ordered my usual cod fish fry, and I am a big fan of their fish fry. The breading was light but crispy, the bread and butter was soft and flavorful. The french fries were delicious, and we all commented on how good they were. There was absolutely no need for ketchup with these. I would definitely come here again. read more

Tip: as of 2022 seafood is served Fridays after 1pm I am highly disappointed in this place, mainly because the previous reviews about this place hyped this place up way too much. I ordered the walleye with a side of mashed potatoes...there was absolutely nothing special about my dish. The fish had zero seasoning and tasted gross while my mashed potatoes tasted way too salty. My husband ordered a shrimp basket that only included 7 small shrimp. Once again, nothing special about the flavor. This place is overpriced for serving such basic food. Sadly I won't be coming back here again. They also charged us .50 cents per take-out container. Overall this place sucks. Don't come here! read more

What a gem and only 30 minutes east of Madison! Went for lunch on a Friday with a friend and we both got the large cod dinner with fries and started with the cheese curds. Everything was fresh tasting and hot and the ranch was really good! Portions were the perfect amount, and our bartender was super friendly and the food came my fast! I'll be back! read more

I suspect this is one of those places where if you know, you know. Thanks to Yelp, I found this off the beaten path bar and grill passing between Madison and Milwaukee on a Friday at lunch time. We wanted to sit outside, which was right on the street which wasn't terribly busy in this locale. Alligator bites for my mate and fish fry for me and some sodas all fine. Also as a former southern resident, though I don't eat gator or crawfish, they are here! So that's a plus! Some different options in addition to burgers, wings, steaks. Had to generate service from staff for attention. Overall Crawfish Junction is worth maneuvering off the interstate for to support local and avoid the chains. read more

Food is excellent!!! Service was great!! Good choice of beer!! Nice patio!! Been there twice and were both great experiences!!

Hidden gem! Best walleye I've had in a really long time! Kiddo loved the bluegill. Don't hesitate on the crawfish appetizer.

My spouse and I met our daughter here for a quick Sunday lunch back in November. I had the Philly, souse to e Tilly, and daughter the chicken tenders, they were the Sunday special. Our cheesesteaks were decent. Nothing special about them, a good bar sandwich. The fries were quite good. My daughter like the tenders. The service was prompt and the bar was very clean with a lot of space in the dining area. Overall an average Wisconsin bar meal. read more

Timely dinner service,especially for a Friday Fish Fry. Crispy sweet potato fries, tasty lightly creamy coleslaw with baked cod. All in perfect portions. Grandson loved the alligator bites! read more

Great find! Went to the Aztalan Museum and State Park for the day and wanted something to eat after. We weren't sure of what places were in the area but came across this place when searching for restaurants nearby. Hostess, Beth, was very friendly and informative when asking for recommendations, she seemed to know her stuff. We were seated right away and waiter came over not too long after. Food and drinks were ordered but unfortunately when the food came my burger was very undercooked for my liking. I asked for medium well and it was somewhat between rare to medium. After a little convincing the waiter took it back and had them cook it a little longer. Once it came back it was cooked just how I like my burgers and it was very good. Both burgers and fries were very tasty. Just wanted to mention while we were eating we were talking with Beth again about things to do in the area since we're from Milwaukee and she was so nice and knew about quite a bit. She's awesome! I would definitely recommend this place as I will absolutely go back! read more

When we moved to the area 4 years ago this place was Great and the fish fry was amazing. I don't know what has happened the last few years but the food has gone completely downhill. Decided to give it one last try this week and unfortunately it's probably even worse than our last visit (a year or so ago). Aside from the ribs that were OK everything was WAY over fried, the $19 Alligator was basically a bunch of burnt breading with a few small over cooked pcs. of meat and VERY salty. So disappointed b/c this was one of my favorite places early on. We will never be back. read more

Found this fun little gem driving from Milwaukee to Madison. Monday special 1/4 lb burger with cheese and all the fixings for $2.50, a steal. Burger was very good and the bun was awesome, perfect size. Nice front patio, very clean and an impressive bar and beer garden in the back. Will definitely stop again for more specials! read more

Hats off to Crawfish Junction for serving an amazing Mother's Day Brunch! It was a beautiful presentation of fresh and flavorful choices... Smoked salmon, colorful salads, shrimp cocktail, quiche, eggs Benedict and omelets to order were only the beginning. My husband requested an end cut of Prime Rib and said it was delicious. Finishing it off with an array of fabulous desserts by Armando, well all I can say is WOW. We will be back, their Saturday night Supper Club menu looks fabulous! read more

Good food and service. Fair prices. Nice menu. Many options. Drinks are well made and bartenders friendly.

I love the Friday Night Fish-fry at Crawfish Junction. It is my go to when I'm craving some rural Wisconsin tradition.

Personally I liked the perch better than the bluegill! I was shocked. Got there at like 4:45 and waited an hour. Bar staff was great and so were the old fashioneds. I can't say enough about this place..... the German potato salad, tarter, coleslaw, fries were all on point! I loved my perch more than my husbands bluegill read more

best midwestern seafood we have ever had and a good selection. Wish they had crab legs also. Service is great - especially Maranda (read us our rights please). Upstairs can be on the WARM side so be careful on a hot day. Prefer that they take reservations so we do not have to fight the crowds. They need to asphalt pave their parking lot and stripe it so all the customers park correctly and put that food truck somewhere else on Friday nights. When are they going to start serving food on the patio? The German potato salad has improved greatly this year with the new cook. read more

Was looking for a mid way spot to meet up with a friend between Milwaukee and Madison and went with this since the reviews were pretty good. Place wasn't busy and the waiter was friendly, checking up on us periodically with no pressure to leave (we were there for a couple of hours). Food was decent and large portions. Nice place to meet up and would go back again. read more

Had great food but can be a wait but I very much recommend. Very nice community of people and the waiters and waitresses are very patient

This was a great place on their Friday fish fry. The fish was great. We had the fried walleye and cod. Their drinks were good and the service was good. The only draw back is the place is loud. It could use some sound deadening. Give this place a try! read more

This place is always so busy on a Friday night, that it's hard to get good customer service. They plunk you at a table and then continue to ignore you. The last time our waitress brought drinks over set them on the table and there was water on the table & they practically slid off the other side. No apologies and certainly did not come back with a towel to wipe anything up either. Might be great to go during the week if you can find them open, but Friday nights I would try someplace else. read more

Best wings I've had in a while! Good band Outback! It's amazing the food they pump out of tiny kitchen. Definitely worth finding your way there. read more

What a nice surprise!! Went here on a yelp whim and will be back! Got a Reuben comfort bowl for the table as an app and it was wonderful... smothered tater tots with Reuben meat, melted cheese and white sauce. Yum. Tots were crispy...not soggy from sauce at all as u think it might be... Reuben was spot on flavorful and tender! 3 of us got burgers and all sampled each others...all yum! 4th member had a BYO chicken sammich (chick was thick & juicy - quality, not chopped in 1/2 like other places do) My burger (see pic) was the one with deep fried gean beans, mushroom gravy and haystack onion rings. Yum!... think Thanksgiving green bean casserole on a burger = comfort food!!! read more

Tried for fish fry. Arrived at an early 5pm and the place was packed. Headed to bar area and ordered drinks. To my surprise the bartender hand crafted our cocktails with muddling and fresh mint! Told we had a 40 minute wait and it was exactly that. Started with the cheese curds and I have to say they were some of the best I've ever had. Super light crust, juicy not greasy and salty. They appeared battered in house. Just delicious. I had the pan fried walleye. Seasoned perfectly but a bit over cooked and had many bones in my filet. Tried my husbands scallops and they were excellent. I would definitely go back sometime. read more

If your looking for local wi bar type eats this is the place for you. On a Friday after 2 be prepared of an extremely limited menu. Other times the menu appears rather expansive. Good food and service. Just not what we were looking for. read more

Last night I had the pleasure of eating some Alligator.........as one of my co-worker told me about a place called - "Crawfish Junction" in Johnson Creek, WI. I'm so glad we came here, as I enjoyed the food that was served over here. One thing I must say, it was an adventure to find this place.........you gotta hear this story........... As we were driving here from Watertown, Wi., I had my phone on for the GPS. As we got to a main road that leads us to this restaurant/bar, the road was closed; therefore we had to drive an alternative route. Upon driving around, we find ourselves passing farms & corn fields and I just knew we were in the sticks! Another funny thing about getting to our destination........as we were driving there, we ran over a skunk! While we were in the car, I noticed a putrid smell that I could not describe! I've never experienced anything like this in my entire life..........all I can say is, it was so STINK, I almost tossed my cookies from gagging from the smell. When I had asked my co-worker - "What's dat funky smell?" They all laughed at me, as they had assumed I knew what it was.........I told them - "Hey man! I'm from Hawaii, born & raised! We don't have skunks in Hawaii!" Thank goodness........the smell was so N.A.S. T. Y.!!!!!! Anyways, we finally reached our destination..........the Crawfish Junction is basically a bar/restaurant. As I enter the bar/restaurant, I do my check in on Yelp and Bingo! I won a free "Haystack Onion Rings"! Yay free food! (I will get back to you folks about this.) Upon ordering my grub, of course I had to get the Alligator, and I also ordered some chicken wings, & a few local beers. We had several plates of Chicken wings. I had ordered the "Hot wings", and my two of my co-workers order a "Sweet & Sassy wings", and the "Butt Smokin' wings". A few other items that were ordered last night - A deep fried hamburger, and another co-worker had ordered a steak dinner. Most of the beers served here were unique...........I didn't want to go with the standard stuff that I can get at home, and as you know, Wisconsin is Miller beer country. I've had Miller beer & Lite Beer before, so I took a pass on this. Instead, I tried a local beer called "FAT TIRE". That way when I drink it, I can get my belly big again like a "Fat Tire!" Lol! The beer was very smooth & rich......I drank a few, and it was the perfect side for my hot wings. As it was time to pay........I paid for my meal, then later when I got to my hotel & was checking the bill, "WTH" the waitress charged me for the Haystack Onion Rings I supposedly got free from Yelp! Maaaaaaaaaan! Minus 1 for you folks! But I still love you folks, as the Alligator was awesome, and I would come back here again to eat it, read more

Such a fun place! Great food. Great staff. Fun specials all week. Arrive early on weekends if you'd like to snag a seat. I never use to think this place was short on seating until an extremely large group of fantasy footballers came in and took up more than half the dining room (rude). Luckily we got a seat for lunch. Fried green beans with wasabi sauce, cheese curds, hangover burger, waffle fries, drinks, etc we're all great! Parking is abundant. Atmosphere is typical small town Wisconsin. Will return for more because of food alone. 4/5 stars for 1 bathroom which is usually dirty-ish :( read more

Love it. What a great find. We have family in Sun Prairie and this is a great half way point to for dinner. The menu offers a great selection and the night we were there they had prime rib as a special. I had the Blackened walleye and it was excellent. We had 7 people so we mad reservations and the table was set and ready for us when we arrived early. The hostess who I'm guessing is also the owner was very nice and was very attentive. Can't wait to go back read more

This place is delicious. We arrived at 2:30 on a Friday afternoon for a late lunch. We were surprised by the menu as only the dinner/fish fry menu is available after 2 on Fridays. (Which was our mistake as it is clearly on the menus thru Yelp but hubby missed it!) We decided to stay and that's where the disappointment ended! Our meal was delicious. I had the fried cod, my husband enjoyed the perch and scallops combo, and our son loved his fried alligator! The food was served quickly, hot and tasty and our server was very attentive. I wish I lived closer as this might be our fish fry go to -- and I would still love to try one of this tasty looking sandwiches on the menu. read more

Stopped here because my breakfast place was packed and I needed a drink before I shopped in Johnson Creek. It happened to be my birthday so I got a free shot.
