My sister has taken me quite a few times when I visit La Crosse. The food from breakfast to lunch is very good - I like the stuffed French toast for breakfast and the spicy garlic wings for lunch/dinner. The drinks come quick and cold. I've never had an issue with service. There are TVs for sports games and other events. They also have sand volleyball leagues you can sign up during the season. Classic country/dive bar! read more

So unexpected, but soooo good. Driving by and saw a full parking lot.. always a good sign. Glad we stopped. Great staff. Amazing Bloody Mary's... crazy food menu with so many options. I ordered the eggs Benedict and tater tots.. definitely good choice. My buddy ordered a big egg burrito omelet... and my brother ordered the stuffed French toast. Can't wait to come back and try something else. read more

Visited La Crosse when it was pretty cold outside. Schools were closed because of the sub-zero weather. The cold didn't keep us inside though - stopped at Nutbush City Limits for the first time to try it out. Got a recommendation from someone in our group to stop out because it was around lunch time and we were all in the mood for either eggs or burgers. The place had plenty of patrons and was clean, and people were friendly. The noise level was great, with plenty of conversations going on. Sat down to a table right away and tried their nachos, which fed three of us. Plenty of toppings, great taste, very crisp chips. They brought out the loaded baked potato soup, and I wished I had gotten a bowl of it. It was fantastic and warmed me from the inside out, which was needed on a day like today. They came back with the Barn burger, and it was excellent. Crispy bacon, a nice toasting of the cheesy hash browns, and all those flavors mixed together perfectly. This would be a great place to stop in with friends and watch some sports games. There is plenty of food for kids to eat as well, so bring them along! Shout out to Vivian over there. She took care of us and was wonderful! read more

We have been going to Nutbush for years, when camping in the area. Way back to the old building. Breakfasts are very good. Bloody Mary's not good. Taste is good, but $7.00 and the garnish is a slice of pickle. Go to Ardie's and get a great Bloody. Pickle, olive, mushroom, 3 cubes of cheese and a beef stick. And what's with the Men's room door closer, it's been broken for like 3 years. Also, Way too noisy. read more

Nutbush is great for breakfast or just to catch up and grab a beer. Service is always great no matter how busy they are. Unsure what's changed recently but it seems like the dinner food is mediocre at best. The pizza is basically served on a burnt tortilla shell. Again, great place for brunch if that's what you're looking for but I would stay away from their dinners. read more

Our attendant was Paige. My friend and I met there for early lunch this morning, not too busy, Paige greeted us with a smile, let us know what was available for specials, brought us our drinks and gave us time to look over the menu, food was delicious, I had French toast, my friend had an omelette. Paige had perfect timing for everything, Awesome . I haven't been in Nutbush in over 30 years, due to being transferred, I love the changes, can't wait to come back with the family. read more

Bad service at the bar . So stopped in about 11am for Bk-fast and see they got new menus with higher prices $14.50 a little high for cornbeef hash & eggs ? But the service at the bar has room for improvement , so she was to busy flirting with the same 2 guys & trying to look pretty for them , instead of coming to take my order ? There are other customers at the bar you know . When there are 10 to 12 people at the bar you are to wait on all of them equally ! Point is the bar will make more money when everybody can order more drinks & food . And I know you can't fire them because you can't find anybody to hire , but maybe have a talk will them to take care of everybody at the bar equally ! read more

Probably some of the worst dining experiences I've had in several years. We were told it would be an hour wait or so once we placed our food order. That was totally ok, we were happy to wait. The serving staff promptly took our order and brought me a coffee. After sitting there for 1 hour I did get 1 refill on lone cup of coffee. I ordered a breakfast quesadilla, which was excellent. My wife ordered a hash brown platter. The potatoes were entirely raw and cold once the food came out close to 90 minutes later. I requested to see a server, she eventually came back to us about 15 minutes after we had gotten our food, never once checked in after setting the food down originally. I'm unsure how it was possible to mess up a simple breakfast dish centered around hash browns. read more

Nutbush City limits - a plate of food on a table - Bars Near Me - La Crosse, Wisconsin

No masks on the servers. One looked at us 3 times without coming over to see what we needed. We asked her to please wipe off our table because whomever cleared dished didn't. We had called in our order to be ready at 11:30am. It finally showed up at 11:41pm. (I get 30 minutes for lunch). Many people only get 30 minutes for lunch. That's why we call in so we don't have to wolf down a meal. It wasn't that busy for the # of tables and the # of servers. Hope you all speed it up. I'll change my review if things get better. read more

Nutbush City limits - Roast Beef Wrap.....wow...this was full of flavor!! Highly recommend!! - Bars Near Me - La Crosse, Wisconsin

Excellent young waitress today. She was very attentive and sweet. I had the fish sandwich and it was delicious. I will for sure go back to nutbush for lunch again. read more

If zero was an option, that would be my score. It took over an hour to get seated. The food was decent. But, the staff has no understanding of how to get ppl in and out. There was a party of 20 that was already seated on different tables. They took away tables to set that party together. Now, they have to clear all those tables before seating folks. The party of 20 should not have been seated until the whole party was there and their table was ready. I would have sent somewhere else if that had been an option. read more

Welcoming, attentive staff. Clean environment. Many options for breakfast. We enjoyed the all American breakfast and corned beef hash over consecutive days during our stay LaCrosse. We will be back! read more

Stopped by fro breakfast on the 20th of June. The service was very friendly and the food was good too! Love going to dive type places! Stop in and eat and drink. I wish I could have had a cocktail! Keep up the good work! read more

Good food! But got turned away on Wednesday, the burger special night, because it was "trivia night". The hostess/waitress didn't even bother to tell us a wait time, have us wait, ask if we wanted to join trivia, or anything just was snotty and rude and basically said we should leave. We called back to see what the reasoning was why we weren't helped, and the same girl who turned us away answered. We asked for a manager, and she said she was (unsure about that), but then she hung up on us. It was disappointing, and we haven't been back since. read more

We love breakfast at Nutbush so we thought we'd go on a quick date night and give dinner a try. We were immediately greeted by Michael B who had a super friendly attitude. His sense of humor was exactly what we needed to get us in a good mood too. Michael grabbed me a cold draft and recommended the cod specials. The fish came out quick and was perfectly cooked. The tots were hot and crispy and the cole slaw was perfect. Michael checked on us and kept the same amazing attitude throughout dinner. I think lately we are happy to get any service and barely acceptable food when we go out. But at Nutbush tonight, we had great service from a server who clearly enjoys his job and successfully transferred his pleasant attitude to us, which put us in a good mood. What an overall great experience! And Michael, I hire well paid professionals frequently and I would hire you because of your attitude, professionalism, and outstanding service. You made our evening! Thank you sir! read more

Great local hangout. I sat at the bar, which was busy. Bartender/waitress did a good job keeping coffee and water filled and chatting with the regulars. Their bloody Mary looks incredible, with the Wisconsin beer kicker. Food was really good, I like that they have some healthier omelette options. The sunrise omelet was delicious and had actual chunks of turkey. I will definitely come back if I'm ever back in t WI. read more

Hit or miss kinda thing. Help is low-level to anyone but their regulars. How do you NOT serve pizza on weekends?!? read more

Love breakfast at Nutbush! I took my parents today and my dad had Eggs Benedict (loved and ate every bite) my mom and I split the stuffed hash browns. Portion was so generous that even with splitting we had leftovers. It's super yummy but a little greasy. If that's not your thing, there are lots of other delicious selections on the menu. The place is always busy for breakfast but staff hurries around helping each other out and creating a welcoming environment. Will definitely go back again and again! read more

Good food. Good drinks. Nice prices. However....service is very slow. Hour and a half for lunch. Chicken salad and Bloody Mary. Yikes read more

At first we were checked on frequently and then our table turned into an after thought. One of the choices we ordered turned out they were out of so we had to adjust then. When the food was brought out the wrong side was given on one of the plates and instead of keeping the side on their and just bringing back the correct one the waiter asked us to put the side in a napkin and give it back to him saying "they're not just going to give you a different side." The food was luke warm if not cold and was an overall poor experience. read more

I go here for the breakfast! Very good and the price is unbeatable! I only didn't give it 5 stars because depending on your waiter you may have to extra long time for some one to refill your coffee even when they are not busy. But when they do come around they are very helpful and nice! read more

Definitely a bar. An odd place for breakfast, but certainly worth the unusualness. Nutbusch has a huge breakfast menu with the standard items and a few surprises. The breakfast burrito was a typical b-fast burrito with eggs, hashbrowns, and roast beef hash all rolled into a flour tortilla and served with salsa. The pricing was a bit odd though--a portion designated for smaller appetites was only thirty cents cheaper. At the end of it all, though, it didn't really matter. The food was delicious. The service was a little slow but cheerful, the coffee was tepid, the food was plentiful. It's tough to find a place open at an early hour that isn't a chain, so I can't really complain. It's a little disconcerting to be in a bar and see the bar filled with patrons drinking coffee and reading the paper rather than having an adult beverage and telling ribald tales. Would I stop by again? Probably. It looks like it'd be a fun place to have a beer or two. read more

This is a must try Breakfast/Brunch spot in the La Crosse area. From their beer batter pancakes, to their delicious scramblers, this place is where it's at! Expect a wait if you are going during a peak weekend time but it's well worth being patient for. The service is fast, friendly, and welcoming. It has a warm country bar feel inside with a TouchTunes jukebox and penny machines. read more

Food was amazing and huge portions. Place was super busy but in a great way. Worth it

I've been coming to this restaurant my whole life and I have never experienced this level of disrespect and lack of manors from the servers. Our food took 50 minutes to get out and when I got my plate it was cold. I asked my boyfriend to try it to make sure I wasn't overreacting and he said the same thing. They brought it back twice and both times it came back out still cold. Our server was very rude when I told her both times that it was cold. She argued with me and basically told me I was lying... why would I lie about that? I was hungry and we had been waiting for almost a hour when they only had six tables full. We were also sitting right by the kitchen and I overheard them saying things about me complaining. I will not be going back here and they need to fix their attitudes. read more

We heard some great things about this place, but this it seems like a lie. We show up, order our food, and are told that the food is won't be out for an hour. I was appalled. It was very loud and couldn't hear anything any one of my family members were saying. I will say I will not be returning. If you are suggested to go, don't. read more

Always have good food here..breakfast is amazing sandwiches are tasty!! Service is sometimes slow but that is expected these days. Otherwise totally recommend it!! read more

I would give this place 5 stars for just plain being where they are. In Wisconsin. "Only In Wisconsin" is a common phrase I use. long standing tavern and eatery.. low class feel of come as you are and just be you... The food is above average for a diner with crazy inexpensive pricing. Large portions. Daily food and drink specials for the guy always looking for a deal. Remember to put on your patience as this is a popular place with the locals. You may be waiting for a table at brunch on a Sunday, and once your seated the drinks keep coming but the food may take a while. All in all it's worth the wait. read more

Came here for breakfast and thought it was pretty great. I had the steak and eggs, which were cooked nicely. They actually had really good coffee, too. We were curious about the beer battered pancakes, so we all got a blueberry pancake as well. Growing up in Wisconsin, I try everything beer battered. Well, there is nothing special about beer battered pancakes. I've had way better. The location of this place is nice since it's tucked off of the main road. It looked like they had some good beer specials, so might be a good bar at night as well. read more

Used to be my absolute favorite place. Food is still good, but so disappointed that they don't require all their staff to wear masks. Even the manager didn't wear one! You are in food service, come on! We will not be retuning for a very long time. read more

On the way to the airport after a grueling class of two weeks we got real hungry. We saw this restaurant on a sign and decided to stop in. It is like your local biker bar but the food was amazing. And if you decide to have a drink the bartender will whip something good for you up. Our waitress was very entertaining and kept us all entertained and laughing. If I come back to Wisconsin I would visit this place again. read more

Went for breakfast my order was the all American ordered 2 eggs over easy American Fries Bacon and White toast. What they gave me was Eggs almost fried no yolk left, my American Fries where so over done burnt had hard time eating them, my bacon was ok little over done and the toast was close to burnt. Hope this was just lack of good cook or staff issue in kitchen. read more

Waited an hour for our food. Food was okay. Paid for the food, we didn't know the price of food included a complete cleanse.

Absolutely love going here for breakfast. Beer batter pancakes are the things dreams are made of and I always order an extra one to enjoy as a snack later on. However, don't come here if you are one of those rude people who comes at 9:30a on a Sunday and complains: "why can't we sit immediately?! Why is my food taking so long" kind of people. Get in, check in with the bartender about a table and buckle in. Burgers, cheese curds, wraps and wings are all great choices too if you aren't in the mood for breakfast. Prices are very reasonable as well. I took one star off only because the service isn't always great and it could use a good top to bottom clean. But even with that being said, it doesn't stop us from coming in every week! read more
