I had an outstanding experience! Starter: Cherry Wood Bacon Wrapped Chicken Strips, this could have been a meal within itself! Entree: I substituted the NY with the Ribeye, with Creamy Blue Cheese and Panko Crust - came with a loaded baked potato, and green beans. The Ribeye was a fabulous cut, the best that I have had within the area and the green beans were fantastic! Service: Top Notch! Peyton was a phenomenal bartender and very attentive server. Bonus! They have Blanton's! read more

Piggy's Restaurant - NY Strip replaced with a Ribeye, Creamy Blue Cheese and Panko Crust. - Steakhouses Near Me - La Crosse, Wisconsin

Revisited Piggy's after this week's change of owner. We didn't expect to walk in to such a drastic change. My husband and i went there specifically for prime ribs - celebratory dinner. We even checked their online menu and made reservations only to arrive with a whole new menu to look at. They're no longer serving prime or smoked back ribs. A lot of customers were disappointed when they were given the new menu. We stuck it out and got our usual appetizer (stuffed mushrooms - a lot meatier than before. No complaints!) My husband got the smoked sampler (pork chop, pulled pork and burnt ends) , that was alright. Sauce was a bit too sweet for us. Pork chop was cooked to perfection! Kudos to that! I got the crusted salmon - which was disappointing because it was over cooked and soggy with no seasoning. Our side veggies were under cooked and not seasoned at all. We did get the cheddar potatoe soup. It wasn't what it used to be - lacked cheddar so it was just more so potatoe soup. My waitress forgot my baked potatoe but i was too full from disappointment that i didn't bother to ask for it. Service was good. It was a steady crowd. Not too busy. Just wished the goodies from the old menu stayed. read more

It was a good place. The food was pretty decent. Came here for my mil bday and it was prom night lots of frills and low cut dresses. We had reservations for 5 o'clock got in there a little bit early got seated right away. Awesome but it took him forever to take our drink orders then it took forever to get our drinks to us. It took forever to take our food orders, to get food it just took forever to do anything. I don't blame the staff, but they should've anticipated prom night and maybe had a little bit more staff in there. read more

Post graduation dinner time! We made reservations and were still worried we would have a wait, but it was strangely quiet while we were there. Our waitress was great-she didn't even judge when I had a dessert martini before the meal. The food was good and the cobbler with ice cream was perfection. read more

We got two recommendations from different friends to eat at this restaurant when we visited LaCrosse. We took their advice and made a reservation on a Thursday night. It turned out to be pretty empty but that was no indication of the quality of the experience. For some reason we were thinking that since they have barbecue it would be a more "rustic" setting. The space is beautiful (and much smaller than what we were expecting given how big the building is on the outside). The bar is a fantastic antique. The server was very friendly and helpful. One member of our group decided to begin with a Brandy Alexander as a starter. It was an incredible creation and it was delicious. Three of us worked on it (and surprisingly we didn't ruin our appetites). We also ordered the limoncello mule. I have never seen this before - it was very good. So good that I want to try and recreate it at home. The drink (and food) prices were very reasonable. Everyone enjoyed their main course. The entrees came with not only a starch but your choice of soup or salad. I got the salad and it was very good. - it came with a nice mini-loaf of bread. I ordered the bacon wrapped tiger shrimp - quite tasty. Highly recommended! read more

Service was awful, our waitress had 3 tables yet we sat there waiting for refills for 15 minutes. Asked for coffee as soon as we sat down and didn't get it until asking again once our food arrived, and she said it hasn't finished brewing yet. I've never heard of a coffee that take almost a half an hour to brew. I got the brisket cheese curds for an appetizer, the cheese curds that weren't drenched in the awful barbecue sauce were ok at best. The brisket by itself was also subpar. For my entree I had the fried walleye and it was bland, along with the mashed potatoes. Overall the service was bad, but the food was even worse and I'd be surprised to see how long this place works out. read more

We had a large group of 10 people and were located in their large group room. The service was very good and the food excellent! It was our first time there and we were very pleased. read more

Great food and atmosphere but definitely short-staffed. Went there on a Friday evening and it was busy!! Good sign that the food is worth it. However, we were seated by the hostess and did not receive any waters or drink orders for upwards of 20 minutes. We go finally got drinks and they were good- but not great- all enjoyed our bbq tho!! I would order this food to go in the future & drink at home. lol read more

Could be better .... 14 oz steak probably 8 oz minus the fat . I'm used to a fat cap but more than half the steak was. Fat .... Disappointed to say the least . Great atmosphere . Favorite drink was there manhattan . Hesitant to send it back but instead decided to take a photo . I'll let yall decide . Decent place . Came from out of town low expectations it exceeded in some ways but let down in others especially since the menu stated the Ribeye was hand cut . They have another restaurant upstairs that looked great and had better reviews. read more

Nice relaxed ambience. Servers were friendly. Not busy on a Friday night ... pork medallions were cooked nicely, mushroom pasta was very bland. Caesar salad really underdressed, house salad was great without the 4 dollar up charge. Bacon wrapped shrimp quite overcooked. Place is nice, we felt well fed and taken care of in spite of above. read more

Made a reservation for a 4th of July dinner to celebrate a family birthday and we had always gone to Piggy's for this celebration for at least 20 years. We arrived on time and were seated promptly. We were told a waitress would take our orders shorty. Only two waitresses were covering the entire restaurant. I felt bad for them, but no one took our orders and others came after us and were waited on. After 25 minutes of waiting we left. Should have left a lot sooner but with Midwestern expectations of hospitality we kept hoping a waitress would come over or one of the floating staff would have pitched in to help. We had flagged down the front staffer about 10 minutes into our wait to tell her that no waitress had come by. She apologized and said they were short staffed and a waitress would be by soon. When a large party came in after that and was waited on we got up and left. I told the person who appeared to be the manager on duty that we hadn't been waited on for 25 minutes and were leaving. He looked a bit shocked but did not apologize or anything . I have not heard back from anyone there. They had our name and contact info from the reservation. Terrible way to run a restaurant. Very disappointed long time Piggy's patrons. read more

Great service. Great bartender. I showed up a half hour before they closed and they treated me like gold. I've never been there before but I will sure to go back soon. The food was amazing and fresh and fast. It looks like it's been there for decades but I guess it's only been there for about 18 years. read more

Attentive and friendly service at the bar, comfortable atmosphere and good fresh food quality earns Piggy's a very solid 5 star rating! I appreciate all of the menu offerings and due to my own diet restrictions, I couldn't explore it! Ordering the 8 oz. prime rib medium sided with steamed fresh carrots and a side salad with a delicious made in house honey mustard dressing, I couldn't find any area with room for improvement except maybe the horse radish! (could be hotter!) Portion, tenderness, sides and service exceeded all expectations! however, I give Piggy's 5 stars based on overall value! WHAT A DEAL! Great space, friendly service and good food quality, Can you expect more? No! Come, Eat, Enjoy! read more

This place is average in every way but the price. Meat was dry and flavorless. Our meal was genuinely bad. The service was alright. However, we were just expecting a lot more for the price. The ambiance was good, but basic. Overall, I probably would not eat here again. read more

This is an amazing restaurant in an old building. The focus as you arrive is a very long bar with a matching mirror and liquor unit behind with wood columns! Maybe 40-50 feet long! The waitress was very professional and helped us with certain diet restrictions! She checked back w/us several times! The food was wonderful (His = pork chops, Hers = burger)! Very comfortable & relatively quiet for a full dining room with approx. 40-50 customers! read more

We had a wonderful meal at Piggy's! Our service was good, and the food was great- served hot, solid food profiles that were well balanced and seasoned, and simply delicious! The bar at the open floor plan restaurant appears to be very old wood-carved, and is a beautiful focal point to the interior of the restaurant. Overall we had a really nice meal and enjoyed the atmosphere at Piggy's. Thank you, and we look forward to our next meal there!! read more

This was a very good restaurant at one time. We had not been here for a couple years for dinner and were surprised it was not busy at all. After eating, we understood why. Very disappointed in the food. I would not recommend the brisket burnt ends. Brisket can be chewy if not cooked correctly. They were not finished properly and had no flavor except for the bbq sauce. I had the ribeye and the steak was tough. The potatoes that were served had no taste at all. My wife had asked to substitute her potato's for a Caesar salad and was told she could not substitute the potatoes. Overall very disappointed and not sure what has happened to this restaurant. I will not return. read more

No one else in bar and treated my friend and I rude. We came for after dinner drinkks on a Thirsday evening and the the bartender was friendly. We were the only customers. We will not be back read more

Hello everyone, I was in Lacrosse for work and I wanted to try a local restaurant rather than a chain. The good thing about small towns in Wisconsin is that they have great local restaurants and this town was full of local fair! One of the reasons I chose this resteraunt was because of it proximity to the hotel I was staying. The other reason was because it was highly recommended by the staff at the hotel. The resteraunt has a nice ambiance and a great selection of food. In fact some would say the menu was overwhelming with options but, I thought the meal options were adequate. We had burnt ends for an appetizer and they were very good. For dinner I had the bbq combo which included pulled pork, burnt ends, brisket and pork chops. The food came out quick and it was pretty good. The brisket was just okay and I could be a little bias because of the briskets I have eaten in Texas. read more

I'm not particularly impressed. Things got off on the wrong foot when the folks in front of us at the host's table kind of demanded a table despite being 30+ minutes early for their reservation. The hosts conferred and moved things around to seat them. Then we step up and the host that stayed behind while the other sat the first people gave himself a little knowing chuckle because they sat those folks at the table we would have gotten (he said so when the other host returned, which maybe not say that in front of the guest but whatever). I was ready to walk out when they told us we needed to wait but they instead put us at a 4 top (which was going to screw who?? All because someone was an entitled jerk? I never would have sat the other people...). Anyway, we were sat next to the folks that demanded their way in. They proceeded to then be mad about their table and asking to move around their seats and all this nonsense. So we sort of were starting annoyed.... But let me be clear, my low rating is not about that, it was about the food. We started with the calamari. It was just what I wanted, no notes. My entree came with a Caesar salad which was also pretty good. The breadstick it came with was merely okay. I ordered the chicken fried beef medallions with potatoes. Everything just lacked seasoning. It was all a bit bland. My husband got the fried chicken and while he liked the potatoes more than me, the chicken was also just okay. For a meal that presents itself as a relatively upscale place, it was just not that great. We ate a few meals while in La Crosse and this was the most expensive and the least satisfying. I would go back to every other place we ate but I wouldn't make any effort to return to Piggy's. There was just a general lack of flavor and I want to taste something. On the upside, our actual server did a very good job. read more

1. Bar service was good. 2. Table service was poor. No attention, no "how is your meal?" No, "Do you need anything else?" 3. Food: prime rib ( nightly) was overdone but not overly smoked. 4. Still waiting for my check to pay and go. 5. I was very tempted to do the Seafood Thermidor - I chose the prime rib with plans to come back for the Thermidor. Not a chance with this er ice and my prime rib being overcooked. Poor. Poor. Poor food, drinks and service. Too bad they didn't know how important a great meal was to me. read more

I would best describe Piggy's as a high end Wisconsin Supper Club with great food. I frequent Piggy's for the occasional business dinner. It is an older establishment that faces competition from newer restaurants like the Charmont but continues to live up to its reputation. As a group we shared the tiger shrimp, pork belly and calamari appetizers. All were prepared nicely, but the pork belly was the star of the group. The pork belly was served with a sweet confit of carmelized vegetables. For dinner everyone went with steaks or the house smoked prime rib. My first time trying the prime rib and it was exceptional. I will be back again just for the prime rib. The steaks all were prepared well and accompanied by salads and your choice of a side. The steak lover in the group felt Piggy's was one of his top 5 and mentioned several Chicago and Indy restaurants in comparison. Don't be fooled by its old school appearance, Piggy's prime rib is a cut above read more

Classy seating and bar. Great drinks and delicious food! The filet minon was cooked perfectly. Overall wonderful experience!

I was in La Crosse for a conference and found myself staying right across the street from Piggies-- which came highly recommended. This is a place it will give you several options including live music and a comedy show. They have a very spacious area on the 1st floor where they have an excellent bar. they also offer an upstairs dining area that can comfortably accommodate large groups as well as offer an environment for a romantic meal. I ordered the Crab Cakes - pan seared with panko crumbs and housemade serrano lime tartar sauce. They were good but a little too much breading and a little too little crab. For my entrée I ordered the lacquered salmon - Faroe Island salmon brushed with Korean honey soy lacquer. It was excellent! Our adult beverages arrived in a timely fashion. Our food arrived well presented and hot. Our service was great. I'd encourage you to check it out when you're in La Crosse. read more

Piggy's Express Lunch is amazing! A well stocked All-you-can-eat Salad Bar that includes fresh hot breadsticks and 3 different soups to choose from. All for $9. The place gets pretty busy around noon so you might want to make reservations, especially if you have 4 or more people. read more

Piggys NO RIBS on the menu. Came here for year for great ribs and chops. Started out as two star review as punishment for no longer serving ribs. Then received food. Salad was a pile of arugula. Had to ask for a side of dressing. Ordered the combo to see what they do with brisket chop and pulled pork. Dropped the review to me star brisket was cubed and seemed more like chuck roast tha brisket. Two pieces had some moisture stopped after two other cubes. Chop was center loin -dry - tasteless sauce. Pulled pork was as close to old Piggy's as there was. Moist with a sauce that was a little sour but more flavor than any had. The breadsticks were the highlight of the meal. Didn't have stomach or the courage to order for dessert. . The place is in big trouble. Was half empty at 700 on a Friday night. So sad. PS our server was attentive efficient read more

Overpriced, under qualified kitchen staff who don't have proper direction, and some of the slowest service I've ever seen.

Great weekday spot. Quiet atmosphere. The steaks are delicious, although come early to get the prime rib. The service was great. Our waiter was very accommodating. One thing to note: the grilled pork belly is delicious, but tough. If your looking for mouth watering - go for the steak. read more

I'd like to say that the food is good. Came here back in 2019, right around the corner from my hotel. Menu sounds delicious, and it tasted good back in 2019. Same set up as before, they're extremely busy today with all the prom shenanigans. Bar is small so I got my food to go. Messed up my order, gave me 50% off, food was still good, staff clearly don't like each other, and super comfortable waiting couch. Ensure you make a reservation, because everything in Wisconsin closes kinda early, and don't bank on space being at the bar. Pretty small space with limited seating in the whole venue read more

Had a new server, poor girl, she did a good job. Our steak was served nearly frozen, the salmon raw. Sent salmon back asked who cook was, was told it was Chris the owner. Said we would just go home and cook our steak. No one ever came back to apologize or offer any compensation. read more

Absolute class!!!! I travel alot for work and I can tell you if this food was served in downtown Milwaukee it would cost 3 times this price!!!! Very impressed even the bread sticks were the best I have ever had read more

Great food and service! Food was unique and delicious. Decent beer and cocktail menu

Always enjoyed Piggy's, they have live blues music on the weekends, this place has some upscale dinning. Best steak I've had in a restaurant years ago. Haven't been there in awhile because of COVID restrictions but look forward to going back when things lighten up. The location if perfect for a date, you have the "Pump house" theater to catch a play, walk around the art gallery or the Weber center for a play, then you can just walk over. read more

Amazing. Ate at the bar. The bartenders were fantastic. Drinks perfect. Ribeye and seafood thermador were he best meals we have had in months and that includes expensive Vegas steak houses. read more

I ordered the ribeye steak. It came with a side salad, green beans, mushrooms, and, a loaded baked potato. The steak was disappointing, it tasted great, but was very tough. I could only eat half of it. The potato was okay and the green beans were fine. I should have sent it back to the kitchen. The side salad was the best part of the $32.00 meal. read more

P W Should have known immediately that experience would not be good. Arrived at 5 PM and greeted with the inquiry if we had a reservation. We replied no, and were treated like an inconvenience. A very dramatic response of sighs and exaggerated hand move followed. Another couple entered at the same time, no reservation and were greeted differently. Madeline was our waitress. She took our drink orders and upon her return placed our orders. Since we were early into dinner service, we were sure that our orders that included burnt ends would be delicious. Table service was very slow. We saw others served and left the restaurant. Finally Madeline comes to our table in inform us that the was a mix up in the kitchen and they were out of burnt ends, would we like something else? One of the other diners chose the seafood thermidor. When it arrives, it appeared to have been thrown on a large plate. Our food looked nothing like the food pictured on the website. Would not recommend Piggy's as the greeting, service was poor and the food did not live up to all the hype. read more

The food was tasty with a number of options to choose from. The drink menu held tasty treasures that thrilled each member of our party.

Amazing staff, amazing food, beautiful place! I had the beef tips (yum) flavorful French onion soup as well! Highly recommend!
