    Nice place. Classic bar food. Lots of sports memorabilia and slot machines. Crinkle cut fries are…read moregood. I don't recommend the chicken tender melt. Ingredients were cheap and the flavor was boring and not good. If you want a good chicken tender melt go to Howies in Lacrosse.

    Ok, first let's get that giant monkey off of our back, this place is really cool! Fantastic local…read morevibe and a true sports bar ambiance mixed with a little Daniel Boone feel. So, why the low rating, you might ask. Well, as much as I loved the decor and vibe, the service and food just wasn't there. Trust me, I so wanted to walk away with that warm and fuzzy, but instead it was cold and "Meh." It was about 1 p.m. on a Wednesday afternoon. When my group first arrived it was pretty empty. Maybe 6 other people tops in the entire place. There was 8 of us, and we went into the back room where we could eat and also have a meeting. Ideal, right? Well the server (also the bartender), was nice enough, but she really didn't know the menu very well, and it's pretty simple. Nevertheless, we ordered drinks, then we were served said drinks in a timely fashion, and then ordered food. All good so far! The glitch? Our meals were piece mailed to us, if you will. A couple individual appetizers here, then one person would get his burger, then another. At one point about 5 of the 8 of us had completely finished our meals when the last 3 just got theirs. I'm sorry, but that's NOT how it's done. It's not cool! I don't think it was the server's fault, but the cook just didn't know how to multitask I guess. This is common restaurant style cooking, everyone gets their food roughly at the same time. That's why it's referred to as "Sharing a Meal." Now that nice young lady tried, but she could have easily sold me a second bloody marry, and almost all of my eating mates' beers were empty and she never once asked if we wanted another round. In addition to not satisfying the customer, that actually cost the owner money. The food? Pedestrian! I'm sorry, I know, I know. How dare I? Look, I'm new to Wisconsin, so all I have to go buy is what I know. And I know that I recently fell in love with the burger chain Culver's. Those burgers are the bomb! And they're "Fast Food." So surely a cool Sparta sports bar with amazing ambiance can match a fast food burger joint, right? Wa wa wa, wrong! I had a patty melt and it was small and dare I say, boring, and a little dry. Once again, I wanted so badly to love this joint, but they let me down. Maybe it was an off day? I hope so, because if they're enjoying the limited options this cool little town has and just mailing it in, that's not cool either. Nevertheless, you be the judge. Hopefully you'll have a better experience than we did. Cheers!

    Met this girl @ Shifty's what was mesmerized by Outlaw Whitey Wayne…read moreand the 78s. 78s is a reference to those old LP-sized early records th't played @ 100 mph, and was always scratchy soundin' She tole me 3 soongs ah needed ta hear to evaluate Whitey & his band: Bad News, If It Ain't Broke, keep usin' it, & Hold her if she tries to step on your pedal steel. Oh, and I'm on Fire, the hook of the tune, but the first line 'a the song closely aped a 50s-60's rocker lyric "Pretty little girl with the hah school sweater, skip that buoy, yew kin do better" with a melody that stole from "Way down yonder in the injun nation. savages rage at the indignation, of havin' to live on the reservation!" It was all ah could do ta keep from cryin' as the beertender called bar time. Friend of mine wrote the perfect closin' to a country & western soong evenin' in the tavern, and sent it to me. I wrote back an tole him it weren't good 'nuf cuz it din't say nothin' bout gittin' drunk, sawin' the bar in half with a chainsaw, or Mama's 2 year stretch in the pen. At that point me'n the girl settled on a soong ta end the evenin' an it goes lak this: Then one day a movie scout Came to town to take her out (Jordanaires: Came to town to take her out) Hollywood could offer more So she left the boy next door who worked at the candy store (Jordanaires: Dream on, dream on teenage queen see you on the movie screen) Very soon she was a star Pretty house and shiny car Swimmin' pool and a fence around But she missed her old home town (Jordanaires: But she missed her old home town) All the world was at her door All except the boy next door who worked at the candy store (Jordanaires: Dream on, dream on teenage queen saddest girl we've ever seen) Then one day the teenage star Sold her house and all her cars Gave up all her wealth and fame Left it all and caught a train (Jordanaires: Left it all and caught a train) Do I have to tell you more She came back to the boy next door who worked at the candy store (Now this story has a moral, you'll hear it all at the candy store) After that, ah realized, we din't tell 'un another r names nohow. You don't have to call me darlin, darling, we never even called one another by name.
