We had an awesome experience at Drafthouse! Nice corner spot in downtown Janesville and super nice…read moreinterior. There are stairs to get in the front, but it is level in the back where there is a parking lot as well! Our server was super nice and treated us well. They have pretty good beer list, but have a huge wine list surprisingly. They have many cocktails to choose from too! Our food was all delicious. They have a variety of options that span from fairly priced elevated "bar food" to gourmet dishes. The cheese curds came as cubes and were delicious! Super fun take on the traditional, and a must have for a bar in Wisconsin. For meals we got the hot honey chicken sandwich, tai chicken flatbread on cauliflower crust, lobster ravioli and DH burger! Everyone loved their meals. We'll be back for sure!

just passing through town, and as always, turned to Yelp. I would like to give 5 stars to bring up…read more the rating up because I think they're a 4.5 star restaurant. We were impressed by the Gray's root beer and ginger beer. Love them serving truly local brewed sodas. The root beer was a little vanilla heavy but I liked it because I don't like most root beer. The ginger brew was EXCELLENT, and I know my ginger beers. Now I have to find out where I can buy it. We consider ourselves calamari aficianados (self-proclained, of course.). We were stoked to try it based on all of the rave reviews. Alas, this is the dish that most drop the rating for us. The calamari pieces were very small, very tough and the batter blew off. Weirdly, it showed up so close to our ordering it that I wondered if something was wrong. Was the oil so hot that the usual cook time was now too long? We're they trying a new vendor and these very small pieces cooked WAY to fast. In any case, I suggest they relook at the quality control on that dish. Below I send a photo of all the batter that fell off in the serving dish. It was a nice sized order and tasted like very good rubbery, miniature calamari. My husband ordered the pork chop and it was delicious. It was so moist and I didn't know whether that was due to brining, sous vide, bone in, or just the best preparation I've ever had. And his plate was full of potatoes and brussel sprouts. Couldn't have been happier. I had the walleye (only on Fridays) and it was a beautiful, thick fillet cooked to perfection. The potatoes were delicious, albeit not as pesto as I expected. But skin on and purple potatoes showed me a commitment to quality ingredients. There was also a nice slaw on my plate. I like that their plates had a starch and a vegetable; kind of like the restaurant days of old. No nickel and diming the customer with ordering all your sides. Heck, skin on potatoes and the more-nutricious purple potatoes are like vegetables as well. Service was great and the restaurant was nice and warm despite it being a very cold day. That means a lot to me as an "older" customer We will definitely come back and even maybe try the calamari because our tiny ringlets and tentacles didn't look like any of photos I have seen.

I have to say. that was one of the most fantastic burgers I have ever had. let me set the scene…read more it's late. around 1230am on a Saturday morning I've been at the gym since 10. I'm famished. starving. can't go another second without food. I call place after place and they're closed or their kitchen is closed. I decide to look at Charlies and give it a shot. I call. they answer. I don't know who picked up the phone but that gentleman was so awesome. he gave me options for burgers and sides. I drove to Charlie's. I walk in wait about 30 seconds and BAM. my food is done. 13.00 dollars for a burger with bacon and everything (no tomatoes because I'm allergic) and onion rings. I just want whoever made my burger to know that it was polished off, licked clean before I made it back to my home about 5 minutes away. onion rings? hot. crispy. perfect. burger? juicy. delicious. I would die for another one. service? amazing. applause to you. i will be coming back. moral of the story. get. the. Charlie. burger.

We've been coming here for a few years now and it never disappoints. These burgers make my stomach…read morehappy they're so so good. They have a burger of the month that are always fun to try and Wednesday's is 2 burgers for $12. I had the Stumps burger (Stumps spicy green olives, cheese and bacon) divine! My husband likes the classic burger the best but he's kinda boring and doesn't venture far from his normal. Lol While the place itself isn't anything fancy, it is a bar, it is clean. The staff is always friendly and kudos to the cook because he makes the best dang burgers ever!
