If you're a wing person, this place deserves a spot on your radar…read more The setup is counter service -- think along the lines of Culver's. You walk up, place your order at the bar, grab a number, and find a table. Tables are first come, first served, so if you see one open, take it. Drinks are a cooler of options or beer and soda on tap. Cash is preferred -- there's a fee if you pay with a card. The vibe is Wisconsin dive bar, in the best way. I ordered the dry rub wings. The flavor was fantastic -- the kind where you don't need a sauce, but you reach for the ranch anyway because it's that good. Seriously, that ranch dressing could go on anything. My best friend got the original wings and said the heat level is comparable to BW3 medium -- noticeable but not overwhelming. If you like wings, Chicken Licks is worth the trip.

Parking extended into the adjacent businesses, but overall plenty of space Food 4/5: we got cheese curds and spinach dip for apps. The cheese curds were disappointing for being in Wisconsin. They were clearly the frozen kind and not freshly battered like many other places serve in the area. They were ok. The spinach dip is the star of the show. I love that they put tomatoes in it to give it extra veggies and the overall flavor is salty yet balanced. We got the Mau wowi, maple bacon, and Mac and cheese pizzas. Overall the Maui wowi and maple bacon had a salty sweet match up that brought the best umami. The Mac and cheese is just ok. Service 4/5: our waiter lacked personality but was overall great. Very attentive, continued to ask about drinks, and was prompt with the check when we asked. Ambiance 5/5: this place is huge. Overall adequate room between tables. Great space and wasn't too loud like some places can get. If you like a lot of options with your pizza between toppings and crust, this is a great place to try. They also have a large beer/wine/drink menu.

Travelling from Appleton to our home in Illinois (9/11), we decided to stop for lunch. Searching…read morethe web while travelling, we came across this wonderful restaurant. From the initial walk through the door to meeting our server, the atmosphere and all of the details are there, including a awesome outdoor patio for seating. Our server, Teagan was wonderful, right off the bat, professional and very attentive to our needs. I ordered the chicken bowl, and my wife had the shrimp tacos with Brussel sprouts. Food was excellent, especially the lime sauce on the chicken bowl. Presentation of the food was top notch. I'll give this place a 10/10 all day from what we experienced. Prices are reasonable for the quality of food served, service and atmosphere. Our total was approximately $20/PP plus tip. They have a separate menu for Gluten Free, which I thoroughly enjoyed and ordered off of. Would LOVE to have this place in Peoria, IL. Thanks!!!!

My boyfriend and I went out on a double date with my hometown best friend…read more My friend suggested this restaurant, as her husband is gluten free and I'm vegetarian. They had plenty of options for both of us! They also offer many options for those without dietary restrictions. My boyfriend and I tried the "in a pickle" for an appetizer and loved the crunchy tempora crust. They were crispy and delicious! I tried the Veggie Centricity, which is Roasted cauliflower, signature Brussels sprouts and fried polenta over a bed of smashed cauliflower drizzled with a parmesan cream sauce and balsamic reduction. This is one of the best vegetarian dishes I've had- it was so filling (over 20 year vegetarian too). I had 3 meals out of it. Our server was helpful and friendly. Food is pricy, but worth it! We will definitely visit again when we return to Wisconsin!

If I didn't have homework due tonight I'd definitely be taking a good food nap right now. Its so good I want to ask the owner to adopt me just so I could eat this food for free all the time

While its name implies a heavy beer presence, they have a very expansive and impressive bourbon and rye lineup, which is nicely priced.

We had Brussels and a sausage and mushroom pizza. Skipped the basal added garlic. Both were decent but for my taste under seasoned. The staff were really nice and helpful. It's worth checking out and I'd likely go back.

The immediate area, which is downtown Sun Prairie was super cool and cute. Lots of shared spaces and mixed use buildings that included the building Nitty Gritty sits in. There are a few Nitty Gritty's scattered across the Madison area, but my buddy recommended this location due to convenience. We popped in on night 2 of the NFL draft, which is why we bellied up to a high top in the bar area. Nitty Gritty is more sports bar than anything, but if the bar is not your scene, they have several dining spaces inside and out. We started with a couple of beers and cocktails, and while we reviewed the dedicated "birthday shot book", we decided to stick with standard drinks...but the birthday shot thing is apparently a big deal here! My buddy went local beer from the tap and I went gin & tonic. Bad call on my part, as even though that is a basic cocktail, this is not a cocktail bar. The drink was not good, so second round I went Spotted Cow as well. All was right in the world in that moment. For food, we went quintessential bar food with wings and burgers. My buddy got the Smokehouse Burger, which is their house-bbq burger served on Texas toast. He sided it with the fries and noted that both were decent, not great, but also not terrible. Both lacked seasoning, especially the burger patty itself. I opted for the wings, black and blue dry rub to be specific. The wings were good size and fried well, very crispy and meaty for a wing. The seasoning, while present, was not very flavorful. I expected a bit more from a Cajun based rub. Food wise, it was just okay. Service was a hit and miss throughout the evening. While the place was not busy, the service was a bit slow for the amount of staff we noticed. We waited on refills and re-orders a bit longer than normal, especially sitting the bar area. This location has been here for a while and it shows in parts of the building interior and exterior. While conditionally certain areas need some love, the spaces were all clean and well kept. Overall, Nitty Gritty was okay. Seemed like your standard local sports bar with mid-level food and service. With that being said, I may be interested in spending time here for a birthday given that shot book!
