I'm giving two stars instead of one for a variety of reasons - so read on. And, we knew what we…read morewere getting into - it's a restaurant bar on the river in Wisconsin, so traditionally the food is going to be awful. Like Wisconsin Dells awful. Excellent points - staff were very, very nice. I feel bad for them. Bar is great, lots of sports, and a ton of decent taps (Moon Man, Oberon, Fantasy Factory, Floyd's, Three Sheep's, etc.) Food - simply don't order any food. More expensive than Madison prices. I tried to go with the safest (and best priced) option of nachos. A "smash" burger with fries started out at $18, which was two dollars more than the nachos with ground beef. We were starving, but not in a hurry. The "nachos" came out in under three minutes. Don't look at the pictures from four years ago. These are the nachos now. Again, for beers and atmosphere I would come back. To eat the food? Never. Partner tried to eat, I ate four chips and honestly could not eat more. The beef tasted like it had been sitting in grease since the night before.

This place is unbelievably underwhelming. Service 10 minutes in is non existent, and the menu is…read morevery limited for people who don't eat meat. Their staff has little to no urgency whatsoever. They Usually have Bands that make it difficult to even hold a conversation. If I was coming for drinks and to enjoy a band, I can imagine this would be an excellent place. They also have a nice big playset for kids to entertain themselves, but its not monitored well so kids are constantly getting hurt. We have been here enough times now with similar experiences. I can confidently say we won't return. The smaller place across the river has been a much better experience for me and my family.

I really want to come back on a nice summer day. They have some wonderful outdoor seating with a view of the lake. We ordered drinks. A Bloody Mary, and a hot Kahlua coffee were enjoyed while waiting for our food. My husband had the ahi tuna bowl which he said was amazing and I had the blackened grouper sandwich with fries, also worth trying. They have a lot of good looking dishes on the menu. Can't wait to come back and try more. Our waitress was very sweet. Food came out fast. The ambiance felt welcoming.

Now the only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 - well hubby's sandwich isn't extravagant but when you ask for extra crispy bacon and it comes out floppy - ugh - but also we don't like to send food back so he ate what he could. The staff was great and the outdoor seating and the live music was awesome! We'll definitely be back.

Sunday afternoon we went for a bite before I had to go to work. Walk up to the bar and get ignored for a few minutes. Waitress took our order, just two sodas, a burger and a wrap. 45 min later we're still sitting there without even a check in or update for us. Paid for our sodas and left. What is it with this place and its employees? Do none of them like to make money?! We may not be regulars but we are locals who go out a lot. Bye

My kids enjoyed the pinball machines and the board games they had available, and it was the perfect day to sit outside on the deck. We were thrilled to find out that it is non-smoking out there, because we were able to hang out with our kids out there and just enjoy the fresh air and sunshine. I definitely plan to return post-partum to enjoy some alcoholic beverages at this fun establishment!

But the baked potato came out only warm and undercooked, and the French onion soup needs some attention: the onions weren't caramelized, so it lacked the rich depth that dish should have. None of this is a dealbreaker, and I'll be back. I'd just love to see them sweat the small stuff again rather than lean on nostalgia and their loyal regulars. Get those details right and this is easily a five-star spot.

The bar service was great! It was all downhill from there…read more My wife and I ordered seafood. I got the orange roughy. It was okay. The side of au gratin potatoes was at room temperature. My wife ordered cod with french fries. The cod was less than room temperature and the so were the fries. Our server came by to ask us how was the food, but didn't wait for an answer. When she did come by later we told her that the food was cold. She asked if we would like to have my wife's seafood dinner boxed up and we said no. The problem was with the attitude of the server. She didn't care. We didn't get a coupon for a different meal. Nothing. They took her meal off of our bill. All we got were the smug looks from the server we complained to management and the manager did nothing but tell us that we should have told her earlier. I have been told for decades that this was a great place to eat. I've been there four times now and twice the food was unacceptable. We will never go there again.
