Teriyaki Chicken Bowl
Marla N.

We ate here a couple of times while in Eau Claire. Good variety on the menu and the food is tasty and well presented. Service was friendly and took care of us without being a bother.

Fantastic service and pretty decent food! It was hard to decide what I wanted off of the menu because there were so many good looking options. I got talked into the walleye tacos and looking back wish I would've tried one of the other things I had my eyes on. The nachos were pretty good and the pretzel bites were pretty run of the mill for a bar. I don't know that I'll rush back here when I'm in the area, but it's a pretty decent spot!

Nice brew pub that has variety of foods on menu including gluten free options. They also have variety of Bloody Mary options including monthly specials.

Signature Cheese Curds.

Seated outside immediately on a sunny Fall afternoon. Attentive fine service by waiter Jared. Setting very nice with space, comfy chairs, autumn leaves and sun & shaded seating. Bloody Mary was quite good-well garnished. Husband enjoyed craft beers on tap. We shared 2 apps-classic Cheesecurds with ranch and the Brussels sprouts. Both were very tasty- greasy but you'll have that! Plenty to take home.

First time trying this place while visiting family who live in the area - it's their favorite "go-to" so they wanted you to bring us ! The menu is very creative with something for everyone - Our party of 4 ordered - Charred cauliflower appetizer - OMG the Mediterranean flavors on this is a don't skip if you enjoy these flavors - STEAK Salad & for the picky eater - requested no tomatoes / cucumbers / blue cheese crumbles - and subbed the dressing for Caesar. The 9oz steak was cooked medium rare to perfection and beautifully sliced atop the salad - delicious Chopped cheese handheld - requested no - tomatoes & lettuce & pickles - forgot to grab a photo - this was another delicious Truffle shroom burger - no modifications lol & truffle fries as side - delicious ! Jalapeño bacon cheddar infused burger - no bun & requested a small lettuce bed - delicious ! They hire great team members - all these modifications and service was prompt kind and accommodating - not one single special request forgotten or missed

We stopped here on the way back home from visiting my family in Madison. It was a Sunday afternoon and our typical Cousins restaurant spot is closed on Sundays. We decided to try this tap house randomly. We ordered a few beers and I have to say, they have a generous list to choose from. The wait staff was friendly and attentive. We started with an order of cheese curds. This was the best part of the visit. HUGE cheese curd squares. Very squeaky! They were fresh. The jalapeño cheeseburger was good, it was just over cooked. The fries were served hot. The ahi tuna bowl was okay. It looked a little overdone from what I am used to seeing. The restaurant itself is very large and has lots of seating. I would stop back again as I frequent this trip a few times each year, but that's only because I'm able to grab a beer and the curds. There's not much else around if Cousins is closed. I am curious to try the other locations in MN.

Kinsey took care of us tonight, which was our first visit. I'm leading off with that as she was a rockstar. I'm sure we had that lost look as we fondled assorted menus. She asked if we'd in before, then gave us a brief run down when we advised we hadn't. Kinsey gave us (what I assume was) her honest opinions & we appreciated her direction. She also checked in regularly, kept us posted & maintained eye contact when talking. Awesome!! We opted for 1. $10.99 Fair curds, which were good tho I still prefer my curds fresh & squeaky. (Yes, totally different animal than fried) Between the breading, oil & cheese (a fair amount of which leaked out) - it was just too rich for my blood. 2. $13.99 Traditional Smoky Candied Bourbon Wings - winner, winner chicken dinner! Crispy outside, meaty & juicy - our 9pc was 7 flats & 2 drummies, as a flat lover, I was thrilled! 3. $9.99 Chicken Bacon Ranch Pizza - (on special) stretched to 12" - the crust was perfect on all but one slice, the edge there was a bit over. Of the 3, the wings were hands down my favorite. $11 Nashville Hot Bloody, upgraded sidecar to Spotted Cow for $1 - pick your heat level - I went medium & it was perfect. The seasoned curds here were a definite win ; ) The hubs had the Gunpowder IPA - I wasn't fast enough to try it...

So amazing in downtown Eau Claire we went two nights in a row. First night got the French dip pizza…read more(wood fired oven!) which was great and then went back to get an outstanding burger made special by quality beef and three year old aged cheddar. Fabulously friendly young crew deserves special mention.

I think we had approximately 20 people and a couple joined last minute. I know this is not ideal for servers, but it worked out well and again, we so appreciate it! The Informalist was super convenient since many of us were staying at the Lismore Hotel. Since this restaurant is located in the lobby, it was just super easy and the menu has something for everyone. We ordered from both the pizza and regular dinner menu and many of us shared a bit of everything! The truffle fries may have been the biggest hit of all, so don't miss out on those! Pizza is fabulous too. We saw elote fries, a burger, caesar salad, steak and so many other things at our table. My favorite pizza was the Yellow Jacket, which includes red sauce, mozzarella, cheddar cheese, pepperoni, and spicy honey. My least favorite item was the salmon crudo, but the salmon entree was not bad. Ambiance is hip and trendy and feels a bit fancy, but we were all dressed casually. Interesting due to the name of the restaurant, but it works! If back in the area, I'd absolutely return. Enjoy!

It was very good. I got a side of their Caesar salad and mac & cheese. I love that you get 2 sides. The Mac & cheese was very creamy, but my salad only had 5 croutons. Everyone else in my party got steak and they enjoyed it thoroughly. We sat at the Willie Nelson table. It was very fun. The bathrooms were also clean. Overall would recommend for large groups, solos, and dates, even if you don't like steak.

The kids made the decision to head here since they all love the TR bread and cinnamon butter. The adults weren't thrilled but went along with the decision. I will say that the hostess did get us seated in a reasonable amount of time and service was not bad! Unfortunately I'm not a fan of their food. On this visit I had steak which I requested to be medium but it arrived more like well done. Their sweet potatoes and veggies are fine and their prices are fair, but I cannot bring myself to give TR (this location or any others I've been to) more than 3 stars. If you go, enjoy the bread and butter and more casual steakhouse vibes and don't have any expectations higher than that and you'll be just fine.

Just a few things to mention. Service was very good. We were sat right away. We ordered pickle…read morefries which came out quick and were very tasty. One minor complaint for me was the amount of breading with a thin sliced pickle in the middle. For my meal I ordered the maple bourbon burger, I will say the burger was very salty. I couldn't finish it all, so I ended up taking it home. Here's my main complaint. I'm finding out a lot of places are not very handicap accessible including the lack of handicap parking, before we left I needed to use the bathroom. I could barely get into the bathroom with my walker. My daughter had to hold the door as I squeezed myself in. I'm not a big person either. Just a tight squeeze all together. Once I got to the handicap stall, there was no lights towards the back. It was very dark. I also noticed there were no rails to hold onto as I tried to sit down on the very low toilet. I'm recovering from hip surgery and it wasn't easy sitting/getting off the toilet. I also happened to look up to see if there were lights and maybe there were burned out and that's when I noticed a extremely dirty exhaust fan. It looked like it hasn't been cleaned in a while. Not a huge deal, but The District always seemed to me as a big upscale restaurant, I felt a little under dressed. I love the vibe and the music and the customer service was great during my visit.

Cute place, not too far off the river and within walking distance to a fun dessert stop, but the…read moreservice was less than stellar. It's the type of place you'd like to go and hang out it while watching a game. Menu for drinks is also fun. However, the wait for our food was nearly an hour and it wasn't crazy busy. I came into this experience very excited about the menu, but the execution was disappointing. We ordered "The Spread" with two different types of wings for our kids, along with curds and fried pickles. Our spread came out, after an hour wait, with only one of the wing sauces we ordered and it was not the one they really wanted. The pickles are extremely thin and very heavily breaded so it's hard to taste the pickles amongst the heavy breading. Curds were fine. I ordered the Balsamic Chicken Quinoa Bowl and to my surprise it came out cold. It wasn't cold as if it was made with cold ingredients, it was the type of cold that makes you think it sat for a while before being delivered to the table. If it is supposed to be cold, it should be notated on the menu. After waiting so long for our food we didn't even bother with asking for something else or letting the server know that things weren't right. We just wanted to get on our way to get to our destination. The server never acknowledged the long wait time or offered to do anything to compensate for it, which leads me to believe this may be commonplace at this establishment. I should have taken the warning from other reviews about the poor service, but since they weren't recent we thought we'd give them a chance to redeem themselves and earn a great review. Won't return.
