What a delightful find!…read more A group of friends and I visited The Porch at the end of September while traveling through the area, and what a wonderful experience from start to finish! From the moment we walked through the door, the staff was incredibly welcoming, friendly, and helpful in explaining how the ordering process worked. The atmosphere was fantastic, especially sitting out on "the porch"! The menu offered so many tempting choices, and did I mention they have ICE CREAM?! Between our group, we enjoyed appetizers, sandwiches, pizza, and, of course, ice cream. Every single thing was delicious! What really stood out, though, was the exceptional customer service. Even a little glitch with the mustard dispenser was addressed and resolved within about 30 seconds. It's those little things that speak volumes about how a business is run! Great food, wonderful atmosphere, and genuinely friendly people who clearly care about their customers. The Porch was an absolute gem and a highlight of our travels! Thank you for such a memorable experience. We would happily return and highly recommend stopping in if you're in the area!

If you're anywhere near Prairie du Chien, Pete's Hamburger Stand is worth the stop. It isn't a…read moregourmet burger loaded with toppings--it's the complete opposite. The menu is simple, the burgers are unique, and the history is part of the experience. The onion-poached burgers are juicy, packed with flavor, and somehow the simplicity is what makes them so memorable. The sweet, soft bun and perfectly cooked onions just work. You may have to wait in line, but that's part of the charm of a place that's been doing things the same way for over a century. If you're expecting fries, cheese, or endless customization, this probably isn't your place. But if you appreciate local legends, nostalgic roadside food, and burgers with a story, Pete's absolutely delivers. I've been going here since I was a kid. It was my grandfathers fave.

Was seated by a very nice individual and was given a menu and asked what I would like to drink. I ordered the prime rib, medium rare more towards rare. It's a queen size is what it goes by on the menu you get the salad bar and a type of potato that you want. I ordered the mashed potatoes with garlic . I had the raspberry tea, so I went to the salad bar, which was very well stocked and looked very enticing. Everything was very good off the salad bar that I enjoyed. Before I was finished with my salads my entree arrived. The prime rib was cooked to perfection it came with au jus and horseradish. The Prime Rib was very high-quality very good tasting beef, the au jus was very tasty not too much sodium and enhanced the prime rib. The potatoes were remarkable. Very tasty. Just the right amount of garlic needed. My waiter was Bre She did a fantastic job so I was very pleased with this outing even though I had to drive almost 2 hours to get to this establishment in McGregor I would go back and take some friends along so they can enjoy it also in the future.

I have not had my steak yet, but I'm already impressed... I'll take a pic and you can decide... They play great 80's music and if your lucky, Becky will belt out a lyric...
