    Double MC Erv
    Lauren G.

    We wanted to eat somewhere with Christmas decorations so we stopped here. It was busy but we were seated within five minutes. The decorations were amazing and throughout the whole place. The service was decent but a little slow. Our waitress was nice though. I ordered the double MC Erv burger. It was okay but nothing amazing. The haystack onion rings were really good though!

    Cool hangout for new friends and old. Other patrons here were nice while we waited for a table at the bar. Food is great and fantastic beer selection.

    Having that craving for Prime Rib again. This place has a lot of great reviews plus we were meeting a friend who lives in Caledonia so this was the perfect meet up point. We got there early, around 4:30, and it was pretty empty but really started to fill up soon after. We started with cocktails. I had the Butter Pecan Old Fashioned and it was yummy. We all had the Prime Rib special. A 16 oz cut served with choice of potato and soup or salad. The soup was Chicken Tortilla, but we went for the Baked French Onion for $3.99 extra. Dinners were served with a warm loaf of bread. I passed on dessert but my two friends opted to get some to go, a Carrot Cake and a Chocolate Decadence Cake. Pay attention to your bill. I don't know why they added the 20% gratuity on our bills when we were only a party of 3, maybe because we asked for separate checks. And they did charge a 3% credit card fee

    So I went to Ervs Mug with decent expectations but I ended up not having a very good experience. The service was spotty at best, and the server had an attitude with my party. Got the ribs and they were actually foul. No flavor, overcooked and they had a piece of canned pineapple that was grilled placed right on top. After eating my stomach was in disarray for the rest of the day. I would probably stay away unless you have a very strong stomach.

    Garbage Sandwich

    I love Christmas pop ups, and I loved all of the decorations in the bar & restaurant! The French onion soup was not salty, the broth was very mellow, and had a large crouton under the cheese. The soup (cheese) could have been baked a little longer for my liking. The garbage sandwich was tenderloin and prime trimmings with provolone cheese & banana peppers. I felt the meat was a little dryer than I expected, and I should have asked for some Au Jus. The fries were served nice and crispy. The waitress was awesome. She was VERY patient with my dad, I appreciated how quickly she adjusted to help him out more than what was necessary. Overall the food was okay, but the service and the atmosphere really made me want to return. I want to go back and give something else a try.

    It's been a few years since I visited. The inside seemed the same as I recall. Very clean. Lots of beer signs everywhere including the ceiling. Service was excellent. Food was tasty. Baked fish was flaky and perfectly cooked served with real drawn butter. Side of baked beans were sweet. The coleslaw was a little off but still was ok. Large beer selection.

    I saw that this place had a Saturday prime rib special so I called to ask if it's available for lunch and I was told yes so I stopped by for an adult beverage and lunch. The place is weird because it's cluttered with beer and alcohol signs from floor to ceiling including the ceiling. They have a small bar area with hi tables as you walk in and the dining room in back. I was asked if I wanted to eat at the bar and I thought if I'm dropping like $75 on lunch I want a table. Julie was my server and dropped off the drink and food menus so I asked her to suggest a cocktail and she suggested the butter pecan classic old fashioned which I ordered and it was good. The 16 oz prime rib comes with soup or salad and one side including premium sides. I ordered the prime rib with French onion soup and I did the up charge to make it baked French onion soup and hay stack onion straws which they have served for 39 years the menu says. My French onion soup looked good that came with a fresh bread stick. Unfortunately the baked French onion soup was average but still good and the broth lacked that depth of flavor that the really good ones have. The haystack onion straws were very thin with a light crispy batter and very tasty. The 16 oz prime rib looked amazing and rare with a side of au jus dipping sauce and a side horseradish sauce. The au jus was delicious and seasoned perfectly and I thought that it would be a tastier broth for the French onion soup. The prime rib was delicious because it was moist and practically melt in your mouth with the perfect amount of delicious fat, not super fatty. Overall Julie was great and my adult cocktail and prime rib lunch was delicious. I was close to the kitchen and I didn't see anyone else order one strangely because it's very good, maybe $40 scares people off or it's too much for lunch. If the prime rib is consistently this quality I would definitely recommend getting the prime rib here.

    tl;dr - will be a constant visitor of this place for the great service and food. Erv's Mug - it seems like it's been around forever, yet doesn't give that "old and outdated" feel. They got a lot of crazy sh*t on the walls, I will say that. This place is a staple in the community and always has amazing daily specials. The food is quality, hearty portions and served quickly by an outstanding staff. We go here for lunch quite often during Fridays at my job. The fish fry is always a big winner for usually 80% of our entire table. The rest of us (myself included) always find something on the menu we love. The GARBAGE SANDWICH is a hidden gem of this menu - make sure to ask about it! I have never been disappointed with a plate here and I generally try something different each time I go for lunch - focusing on salads and sandwiches. A personal favorite I have had more than once is the Philly Cheesesteak modified with chicken instead. They do some amazing and fun events that really get the community involved, the patio is lovely when the weather is nice and the place generally always seems to be hoppin' for lunch. If you get a seat in the back near the kitchen, there's sort of like a side window you can kind of see through - what is happening back there is a mixture of a well-oiled machine and intricate dance of staff members (kitchen and servers combined) working their butts of to provide truly great customer service and getting you a tasty meal (and fast) even during the rush. I would be remiss if I did not stop and give a special shoutout to one of the best staff members there, Peggy. We are always stationed in her section and she always treats us like long-standing family members. She remembers all of our drinks, the same guy that gets chicken tenders every single time we go, and our team members who have special asks. She is a big reason we keep coming back. The president of our company (who tragically passed away recently) had a long-standing relationship with both Erv's Mug and Peggy herself for over a decade. It has been difficult to return to Erv's, due to his recent passing and the connection between both him and his love of this restaurant, but our team will be back in time.

    The place was really popping on a Friday. From the road you can see often how busy it is on a Friday. The interior is much bigger than it looks from Ryan Rd. Great beer selection but I think the Fish Fry fell flat. I saw the table next to me get there's & I knew I had to get it. Then when mine came out I got 3 extremely small pieces while all the previous people were getting massive portions. Not a smart business move if you're not cutting the fish fry pieces evenly. It was not filling at all but my girlfriend's sticky chicken salad she got a hefty portion of chicken. The dressing though was way too sweet.

    Smaller plates used to appear portions are larger. All it does is cause your food to fall off the plate.

They carry Rishi teas, which always have great flavor. To start, we ordered the Korean cauliflower. It came out in a reasonable amount of time and had nice flavor, was served hot, and was a good portion. There were some nicely sized pieces on top, but underneath was a pile of smaller pieces that turned into a bit of a gooey mess. For our entrees, I had the Hot Bacon Salad, and she ordered the fish tacos. Both were good, served hot, and had solid flavor. Portions were generous, and we ended up taking some home. Service: Service throughout the meal was very good. They did a great job getting us settled with waters and menus. Our server was super enthusiastic and friendly, and the pacing was spot on. Nice job, Brandon. Atmosphere: It's a well-designed space. It was very busy, though there were still plenty of booths and seating options. Unfortunately, we were seated next to a small group that was video chatting and had a screaming baby on the other end. I like babies... just not while I'm eating. Overall: Mostly a good experience. I would go back, with a request to sit in a quieter area.

The cod was all you can eat and honestly I can only eat 1 or 2 pieces. The all you can eat cod/haddock is $18. Their menu says cod or haddock depending on availability. I had the shrimp dinner and my husband had a BLT. As you can see the BLT lacked some B, but he said other than that it was very good. The shrimp was great! I got 12 shrimp, cole slaw, waffle fries, (lot's of waffle fries), cocktail sauce, rye bread and they threw in tarter sauce for no reason at all. It is a good deal for $19. The shrimp dinner and walleye dinner are served every day per their menu, the cod/haddock is Friday only. I have to add the rye bread has salt on the top of the bread and that combo is so good. You get 2 small slices with the dinner. As for the lack of bacon on the BLT, we went to Olive Tree in the Market Place in Oak Creek on Tuesday for lunch with some friends and it was the same, lacking bacon. I am wondering if this is becoming a thing.

    I think they no longer have the buffet since covid. Missed it!…read more We were promptly seated on a Sunday afternoon, a little past 4. There were just a few customers inside, pretty quiet. After our host took us to our table, we waited a good 10 minutes before our server came by. She apologized after asking whether we were being helped by anyone. She was very nice about it, but I did wonder, since it looked like she was the only server working at the time, so who else would be helping us? It was fine though, since we weren't in any kind of a hurry and overall enjoying one another's company. The Traditional Long Island - $8 menu says "keep the cup!" In case you're wondering, it's a plastic cup, not a glass. Hubby said the drink itself was ok. Whether I can keep the cup or not, though, I don't like to drink alcohol out of a glass glass, so I'd rather just get the drink in a glass cup that I don't get to keep. Chopped Cobb with Petit Fillet - $20 The 5 oz fillet was pretty good and cooked to a perfect medium, though they could have eased up on the salt a bit. The veggies weren't the most fresh I've seen, some wilted, and some with brown spots.The avocado tasted funny. I don't know how to explain it, but it felt more rubbery (?) than I'm used to, and had a tangy flavor. Overall, disappointed for a $20 salad. (I've found a local restaurant that makes a mean steak salad for $14, with an absolutely heaping mound of fresh greens. I don't like to compare, but I couldn't help but do so) Charcoal Burger Not the best thing out there, but tasty. Sunday Rib Special - $10 Ribs were OK, and the onion fries were also tasty. Great price! Four pieces are not enough for a grown man, but perfect for me. There is a sign at the front desk: "we impose a surcharge on credit cards that is not greater than our cost of acceptance." There is another one that says "We impose a surcharge of 3% on the transaction amount on credit card products which is not greater than our cost of acceptance." Lingo sounds very legal, but basically means they will charge you 3% for using a credit card. Pretty cheap for a restaurant of this size if you ask me.
