    I came here once with a group a few years ago and remember it being fantastic, both the food and…read morethe staff/service. I was told it was under new-ish ownership, but the place felt exactly the same. We were clearly not locals as we entered as we got a few stares, but were welcomed on in and once again had great service. I was thrilled to be able to drink a Guinness (all beers are bottles or cans, but the selection was a nice variety!) with my dinner. We went on a Friday night so I couldn't avoid doing my usual Friday Fish Fry. We all ordered the fish fry and were not disappointed. Good french fries to accompany it and always a lovely, chill atmosphere. Definitely worth stopping in for lunch or dinner if you're in the area. You won't be disappointed!

    If you think you've had the best fried chicken then maybe you've been here If you would like too…read moresee if you had the best fried chicken then you could put this on your rest stop along the way About 15 minutes off the I-90, 94 at the exit to Camp Douglas, WI then 15 minutes West Chicken is to me, so good that I'll order a 20 piece, about $24.00 I'll make a meal right away, almost too hot right away!!! Of the rest I'll bag and freeze the rest and enjoy for 4-5 more meals So your talking about $4.00 a meal I've put some pice so you might find this country salon in the town of Clifton, WI Amish community surrounds this beautiful part of Wisconsin All tucked in rolling hills

    A friend had recommended checking out the Foxhole after her last visit here - she said the small…read moretown vibe was great and the old fashioned were great. I've always liked the Sparta side of Fort McCoy better than Tomah, as it just seems more like an individual small town versus a big-box thoroughfare. What a wonderful recommendation, I had a fantastic visit. My co-worker can second the old fashioneds! Staff was super friendly and service was attentive. Clearly there are locals and regulars coming in that know each other by name, but being out-of-towners we were still treated the same and welcomed. We sat at the bar (always my preference), but there is plenty of restaurant seating if you come here with a group or with your family. They have a decent beer selection on tap, and the menu can cover pretty much all appetites. I ordered the veggie burger, which was somewhat generic but nevertheless tasty and I ate the whole thing. Overall, I'd say the food here is good - maybe nothing crazy unique, but good, especially with the somewhat limited options in the area if you want to stay away from chains and fast food. I will absolutely be back for another dinner and continue to try out options on the menu. I'd really love to do the fish fry if I'm ever here on a Friday night. But, who needs dinner when you have dessert?! OMG I'd seen some photos of their desserts online, and even though I'm not usually a dessert person, these photos drove me here that night! Wow. The Brandy Alexander is absolutely incredible. It's large but my co-worker and I each ordered our own (and finished it completely). Anyone can make a Brandy Alexander you sip from a cup... but this was like a soft serve goblet of ice cream with the booze mixed in throughout. The BEST. I will be back here every time I'm in the area just for this (and then good food and beer is always a nice add-on).

    Pan fried walleye was great! Salad bar looked sketchy, but don't they all…read more The place was dark and had a definite pub vibe going for it.
