Returned to the Gem to try another menu item. The place is famous for pizza and it is an out of…read morethis world experience. Today we were surrounded by pizza eaters, everyone happy and smiling. Place has open seating and plenty of TVs. We went for burgers. We had heard good things about burgers, so we dipped our toes into the change pool and gave it a shot. Unfortunately, it was a disappointment. Either we had the wrong day or an inattentive cook. Wifey had the regular burger with a slice of raw and fries. Burger was ordered medium, a little pink showing. I went with the Gem Burger 1/3 pound with all the trimmings - tomato, lettuce, onion, bacon and a slice of pepper jack - and an order of fries. Wifeys burger was well done, even singed black on one side and her fries looked like they were from the end of the bag. All of them were pretty much less than an inch long. My burger was similar, not medium and more on the well side, but my bun was burned. Not just toasted a little extra, I could taste the burned bread. My fries were similar. The Gem has a problem with quality control. All the pizzas that came out looked fantastic, our burgers, not so much. The kicker was the cook came out to get a look at us before the end of the meal. Just a quick look and back to the kitchen. Bottom line .... stick to pizza. I'll never go back for another burger. There are better places in town for a good burger. Recommend that non pizza orders be double checked with good quality standards before leaving the kitchen.

Oh my goodness--I truly felt like I was back in Italy while dining at Mike's! My husband and I…read morefirst met Mike when he was part owner of Mama Mia's on the square in Baraboo, and now he's opened his own restaurant as the sole owner. Mike immigrated here legally from Albania and became a U.S. citizen, and you can taste the pride he puts into every dish--everything is homemade, even the pasta. I had the spicy chicken arrabbiata with Alfredo sauce, and it was absolutely delicious. The homemade garlic knots were mouthwatering, and the salads were fresh and crisp. My friend ordered the shrimp pasta and loved it. I also brought home two pizzas for my family, and they said it was the best pizza they've ever had! The service was excellent, and the restaurant itself is spacious with a great bar area. From now on, Mike's Italian Restaurant will be our go-to spot whenever we're in Baraboo. If you're in the area, give Mike a try--you won't be disappointed!

Drove past this brewery and immediately had to turn around and check it out. The venue is AWESOME. Turf outdoor seating space with table, couches, heaters, and what looked like a stage for live music. The staff here are certainly very friendly and the do a great job explaining the variety of beers they have. Had a beer sampler to try a few before getting crowlers. Would absolutely recommend the Udders up, Fika, and their Oktoberfest beer (as a stout and cream ale fan). All of their beers had robust flavor and interestingly enough a more full mouthfeel than most beers. The Smoked six tasted like smoked bacon which is cool and all but that's an experience, not really something I would drink regularly. This tap room is a great place to get a good afternoon or morning beer with friends and to watch football. I now have another reason to drive up from Chicago other than Spotted Cows. Go Bears.

My in-laws say it's important to add: they only have Pepsi products on the soda gun. Also, beer in cans and wine only. I'm excited to go back for the spinach-artichoke-dip pizza.
