My husband and I were staying downtown for a friend's birthday and stopped by Fort Mulligans with our friends for dinner. It's an unassuming place in which I left pleasantly surprised! We ordered the Cheese curds and I asked to have it served with the Thai chili sauce. They were so warm and crispy and probably up there on my list of best cheese curds I've ever tasted. My husband had the seafood soup. Every bite was packed with seafood and flavor and I ordered the salmon salad which was also delicious. The waitress was very friendly and attentive with all the food served super quick. I would definitely recommend stopping by here and having a drink and some food if you're visiting Prairie Du Chien. read more

Ft Mulligan's Grillpub - Fabulous crispy cheese curds! Order it with the Thai chili sauce for that extra kick - New American Near Me - Prairie Du Chien, Wisconsin

A great place to dine when visiting Prairie du Chien or nearby Marquette, Iowa. We are in the area, hiking nearby state and federal parks. This was the first spot we picked out for a meal. It's a beautiful old building, with lots of exposed brick and plenty of old artifacts from breweries, the town and more. Like any good Wisconsin restaurant or bar, it has old-fashioned on the menu of their specialty cocktails. I would put this in about mid range of the old-fashioned that I have had. I've had better, I've had worse. This was one of those times where I had to ignore the fact that went with vegetarian, and ate fish because there weren't a lot of options on the menu. That being said, the grilled salmon salad was amazing. I wasn't able to finish the whole thing, however, because we ordered the cheese curds. They were super melting and lightly battered. Quite good, though my companion thought they were more like mozzarella than actual cheese skirts. I am not so sure, but either way it was good. The staff was super friendly, and gave great recommendations. I can't get over how quickly the food was made. I definite must stop when visiting Prairie du Chien read more

Some of the best cheese curds I've had! More like a tempura batter. The French dip sandwich was on really soft untoasted bread- so not the toasted bread that I'm used to for soaking up the au jus- but that's just a preference thing. The cheese steak was okay! read more

Ft Mulligan's Grillpub - Salad and a mule. - New American Near Me - Prairie Du Chien, Wisconsin

Such a nice friendly place to sit down and warm up. We came in looking for a small local place to have a dinner and a drink on New Years Eve and Fort Mulligans did not disappoint. Had a very sweet and attentive waitress and a special holiday menu that was very good indeed. We had the Cheese curds - light batter , warm , crispy and the marinara sauce was good and a side of ranch hit the spot.. Healthy potion enough for 2 adults that love Wisconsin cheese. Holiday menu- New York strip steak with Bourbon marinade was a special dish for new years, but they should always have it. It was real good and cooked well. Had the Rib Eye (12oz) from regular menu. And it was good enough. An uneven cut of meat so one side more rare than the other, but salted and peppered just the way I like it. Baked Potato is yummy and not too big and comes with all the fixins. The salad simple and basic with standard dressings. Stop by and have a drink and some food, it's great and perfect for a real Prairie Du Chien experience! read more

I was camping nearby with my brother and our sons. We needed reprieve from the outdoors and campfire meals so we decided to jaunt into town for a fine meatless meal (it was Friday after all). After surveying our options, we settled in Ft Mulligan's. The atmosphere was lively; the clientele, friendly. However, we found the cod portions lacking. We were shocked when the French onion soup we ordered hadn't come by the time our entrees arrived. We inquired and the apologetic waiter rushed to fetch it. He brought our French onion soup out not in a sizzling crock, but in a cold plastic bowl. We stared at the unmelted slice of Swiss cheese floating atop the liquid aghast. The onions were diced and crunchy in it. I don't want to throw shade at this fine place. I just want to speak my truth about it. The beer was cold and delish. The waitstaff was patient and kind! read more

Good food and cool interior. The staff was decent, friendly. Cheese curds were good and I think I had the shrimp tacos. All was good.

Eat where the locals do...a statement to take to heart. The serving staff are knowledgeable about both the food and the beer. Sandwiches came out of the kitchen pretty fast for it being fairly full. Hot and delicious. read more

It's not worth the money they want for their food. We waited for over 15 minutes for our waitress to come back after taking our initial order after we received our drinks and dip. The bowls in the picture of the table were sitting there for 10-15 minutes also because we got our cottage cheese before we even got our artichoke dip so that just shows how long we were actually waiting. It's obvious I've received better customer service in Michigan restaurants because this was not it. read more

Off on a mini vacation with my kids for spring break. Stopped here after a long day of activity and were seated right as we arrived. The restaurant is super homey and rustic feeling. We really enjoyed the atmosphere. We started with the cheese curds which were fantastic. The breading was super light and delicious. Entrees came out within 10/15 minutes of ordering. The kids had burgers and waffle fries and both thought they were excellent. I was stuck between the sweet chili wrap and the salmon BLT. I asked the waitress what she preferred and she recommended the Salmon BLT. I was not disappointed! The salmon was light and flaky, bacon cooked perfectly, and was on a delicious ciabatta roll. It came with a chipotle mayo that really complimented the sandwich. Our waitress was the perfect amount of attentive. We will definitely be back on our next visit to PDC! 10/10! read more

I was in Prairie Du Chien for the day on business. Everything went very smoothly so I had plenty of time for lunch. A different restaurant was recommended but they serve mostly sandwiches and I was feeling a little more substantial. Ft Mulligans was also recommended and Yelp convinced me. A reviewer raved about the fried cheese curds. These I've never had so it was a must try for me. Along with the cheese curds I ordered a mushroom burger which came with fries. Back up a bit, this is an old building with a lot of character. Brick walls, narrow hardwood floors and stamped tin ceilings with suspended heating and cooling ducts. Yes my kind of place, and a bonus, the staff is just very nice. Back to the food. My cheese curds come out, and they were off the charts delish. A very very generous portion, actually I had to hold back because I knew my burger and fries were close behind. The cheese curds very very seductive, it was like they were calling me.. " Michael. Michael we want you". OMG. The burger was cooked perfectly and the fries were waffle type fries, also very good. BTW, did I mention that I started my lunch with an order of fried cheese curds? Apparently they are pretty popular in this area of the country, well Wisconsin is known for cheese so it makes sense. I don't think I'll be back in this town in the near future but if u am or I see cheese curds on a menu anywhere I go I'll be ordering them. I suggest you try them too and if your ever in Prairie Du Chien, Wisconsin you should eat here. You will not be disappointed. read more

Ordered the walleye for lunch. Lightly breaded and great flavor. Waitress was polite and timely. Great atmosphere.

A great Cobb salad and an excellent tenderloin sandwich. Relaxing environment in a historical building and great service!

Service was great. The cheese curds were what brought us in but the fries kept us. Such great fries. Burger was huge and delicious.

Second best cheese curds in the state, great wraps, fast service, clean environment. 11/10 if I could!

My most recent visit was marked by the same welcoming interior and staff, but much better food. Get the Iowa pork sandwich - it's a breaded cutlet and mine was tender and flavorful. I chose to add cheese, because goddammit this is Wisconsin people! No issues with a return visit. read more

Cheese curds okay but fatty and filling. Chicken wrap tasty but slathered in sauce. Walleye average. (Had much better in other places). Burger okay. Decent service. read more

This place is my favorite in the area. Cheeseballs are light and crispy and homemade. The bloody marys have great flavor and the Spotted cow is on tap!! stop here you won't be sorry! read more

I bookmarked this place as a possible stop on a recent trip to Prairie du Chien and am glad I did. For real, it was great space, wonderful food and super service! My friends and folks I met raved about Pete's Burgers and that's nice, but I had spent a day with the top down exploring the Great River Road, and was tired and sunburned. Sitting down and letting someone take care of me and serve me was exactly what I needed. I started out with an order of the Cheese Curds. Seriously. Y'all, I'm on weight watchers and had no business ordering them. Worth. Every. BITE. I seriously inhaled them. "Shhh...dont tell anyone. This is our little secret," I told my waitress. "I didn't see a thing," she joked as she took away my empty platter. The curds were light and airy, tasting of hand batter and the most cravable things ever. I ordered those curds in a moment of hungry weakness and was wiser with my dinner choices, a Western Pork barbecue sandwich made of roasted pork tenderloin grilled with bacon, cheese and barbecue sauce on a ciabatta bun. I selected a side salad and my body thanked me for the greens that offset my inhalation of grease. In addition to being the keeper of my secret sins, my server was fabulous, checking in on me often as I leisurely enjoyed my meal. I enjoyed the vintage ads from an old phone book of local merchants (2 digit phone numbers, yall) and loved the vintage gas pump transformed into a bubblegum machine. Id go back to Prairie du Chien to eat here. It's a must do! read more

We had 12 people in our group. They sat us at three different tables (which was not a problem). The food was good. Regretfully, at our table, when it was time to pay, they refused to provide us separate checks which caused all kinds of problems. Some were paying with credit card while others were paying cash. We asked why the waitress could not provide tabs accordingly and she stated they were not set up to do so... how funny, they could do separate checks for separate tables but not for separate folks! After much confusion and time trying to divvy up to pay the tab, we paid and left. There is no legitimate reason why a restaurant can't provide separate dining guests with their own tabs... for this, we will not return. There are other places close by to eat good food who provide an individual tab. read more

Ft Mulligan's Grillpub - Good food... refused separate tab... - New American Near Me - Prairie Du Chien, Wisconsin

I am really shocked this place did not get better reviews. The food was fantastic but the atmosphere is what really makes this a wonderful place to dine. The prices were comparable to most high end grill/bars. The service was friendly and professional. Anyone from WI who loves cheese curds, these were some of the best beer battered ones we've had outside of Madison. I am giving the place a 4 because of the noise level. Even at lunch time, it got quite loud. I am not sure if it was just a noisy crowd or the old walls of the building. Still, you need to check this place out! Try the Southwest Chicken Wrap! read more

Lots of food choices and good portions. We love the chicken bacon swiss sandwhich. The salads are awesome too!

Cheese curds are absolutely the best! I could have made a meal of these, all by themselves. We had burgers were just average but we'll definitely be back for those curds, locally sourced! Friendly service this place has a nice country family restaurant atmosphere with nice tall booths, providing privacy for your table. We'll definitely stop here again if we are in thee area again. read more

After touring the nearby Villa Louis we needed some lunch and this place fit the bill. The staff was friendly and got us in and out of there in a reasonable amount of time. The menu consisted of the typical Wisconsin bar items. We ordered the cheeses curds of course - the big serving was good but had a heavy greasy taste to them. Our sandwiches were all good especially the barbeque pork. The waffle fries were nicely done but even for me a bit over salted. The decor was fun with the local vintage signs. read more

Six stars for the cheese curds. Perfect light breading and not greasy. Six stars for the fries. Salty with crispy exterior and soft interior. These come with every sandwich!! Sandwich was great and if I'm honest the fries out shown a really great pork tenderloin sandwich!! WHAT???! Excellent service! read more

The aesthetic of this place is very cute. Exposed brick, signs on walls, tall ceilings and wooden bar. The service was very friendly and timely. The food was just okay. The French onion was disappointing as you can see with the lack of melted cheese and a few croutons. The sandwhich was just mediocre and I just ended up eating the meat and peppers because the bread was a little over powering in relation to the amount of meat provided. I also wanted a mimosa but they didn't have those to serve read more

This is a nice pub with a cool decor (old river town building with exposed brick and hardwood floors). I had a grilled chicken parm sandwich and my brother had fish tacos.

Their prime rib is amazing!! Hash browns are legit. Service is great. However they only have Pepsi products, most mixed drinks are thought of and better with Coke products. They also may have the worst cheese curds in the state of Wisconsin. It was cheese curd meets funnel cake but with with zero seasoning and zero flavor. read more

Had a client lunch and this is where they recommend. I liked the atmosphere and old outpost bar theme. The service was extremely friendly. Had a hamburger and my client ordered the wrap. Both were good but not great but I can't really say anything real negative. Portions seemed small but this was lunch so I was ok with it. I would definitely come back read more

Situated in an building over 150 years old, this restaurant is a solid place to stop in and grab a bite as you are passing through town. Service was efficient and matter of fact. Standard beer selection on tap with at least 3-4 New Glarus offerings. I would highly recommend the cheese curds. They are battered in house and light and airy. Would prefer a dipping sauce other than marinara though. The food was good for its price point. It is not going to thrill you with extreme bold flavors but solid taste for a solid restaurant. read more
