Came here with a friend on a weekday. We had read that they have pretty good burgers. Arrived a little before noon. It is a pub and grill, so that is exactly what we expected, a bar that serves food. A big bar with a large seating area. They also have a large patio that would be nice during warmer weather. On the other side of the dining area is a long wall of video poker machines. That had me a little concerned because they can sometimes be distracting. Got settled in right away with menus and waters. Our server was patient as we kept getting distracted by our conversation. The menu is diverse, with a large selection of apps, salads, burgers, and other sandwiches. Would have loved to try the pepperjack wontons, but that will have to wait until next time. We settled on the Buffalo Burger and the Jalapeno Heater Burger. I was not sure about the jalapenos, so I asked for them on the side. It was a short wait until the burgers arrived. Both were the right temperatures, with mine being a nicely done medium rare. The flash fried jalapenos on the side were very good and not too hot. We ended up eating them separately, like appetizers, and they were surprisingly good. In hindsight I should have placed them back on the burger where they belonged. Both burgers were very good, but the consensus was that the Buffalo Burger was the winner, probably due to the nicely cooked bacon. Everything was going well until a few people sat down at the video poker machines. In many bars the volume is either off or turned way down, or at least the machines are placed near the bar and not so close to the dining area. One machine was at full volume and the noise was genuinely unpleasant. I might want to go back for another burger, but unfortunately the noise from the video games would keep me away.

Stopped in since I had the Lake Country City Tin and they have a kids menu, which is a must nowadays. They were fairly busy for a Saturday night and all of the low tables were being used, which wasn't ideal as we needed either a high chair or keep baby in her car seat. Outdoor seating is more to lounge than dine, so we went with a high top and made do with the car seat. The menu is exactly what you'd expect from a bar and grill, with pizza, wings, burgers and apps. I tried the whiskey bbq burger, which had crispy bacon and a nice tang to the sauce. For drinks we got the Orange Whip and Purple Haze, both had good flavor to them. Our server was fast and friendly and we got everything at a good pace.

Wanted to check out a new-to-us local resultant. We split cheese curds that were really good and the ranch was sooo good! I had the BLT steak Caesar wrap but substituted avocado for the lettuce. It was really good and the steak was delicious! Service was great as well, our server was appropriately attentive! Great place for families or to go watch a game! Looking forward to coming back over summer too as they look to have a big outdoor space!

Quality: **** Value: ***** Service: ***** Atmosphere: **** 4.5 stars really. Sideliners is your typical neighborhood "Pub and Grill" that does things really well and knows who they are and sticks to what they do best which is pub and grill foods with a full bar and a good variety of beers. Sports minded with TV's all over yet it isn't loud so you can actually sit and talk if you choose to. A smaller place so it does get busy. They did expand and has an additional room that doubles their capacity but that isn't always open. That additional room can be rented as well for banquet. I've been here for an occasional lunch and dinner. Tuesday is build your burger day/night ($5 with certain items additional), and Wednesday is Wing's day/night. I've also had their pizza and it is very good, thinner style and good sauce. They do have outdoor seating during the warmer months which is a plus. Service is always good. Friendly staff, accommodating, and our most recent visit, there was going to be a wait for a table (Tuesday night) and we were greeted immediately, put our name in and we were offered a drink. I didn't have to go to the bar! Little things like that make the entire experience so enjoyable. After we were served, she came by several times to check but wasn't intrusive. In summary, I will be back. Probably not as often as I would like but I love the place.

Chicken Caesar Chicken Caeser Salad

Service is always great, but the food is mediocre at best. For a $14 Chicken Cesar salad I would expect more than this sad bowl of lettuce and half of chicken breast. I could get better quality of some of their menu items at a fast food restaurant.

And the mighty have fallen! Sad face. This is our last attempt at Sideliners. We love the people, service is impeccable, welcoming and chill in a fun atmosphere, but it can not make up for the awful food this place has been leveled to! We have frequented here for about 6 yrs now...happy as clams usually, except the food has been rapidly decreasing in flavor and value. Tonight was the. last. time. I've returned 1 plate to a kitchen in my entire life... This was the 2nd time. Ever. Seafood Nachos $13 supposed to be shrimp n scallops with a cheese sauce and pico. What came out... 8-10 shrimp NO Scallop, 1 TBS of queso all at the bottom and maybe 2 TBS of Diced Tomato. You get better free chips n salsa at a Mexican resturant! Like I said food has been downhill/inconsistent the last 3 years? - the decline started pre-COVID - FYI. Burnt expensive pizza on carryout; ok if u dine in tho... Dry tasteless burgers, Seafood Nachos once they were put on the menu (vs a FRI only special) got smaller, less cheese sauce and pico, but today it was 25 chips with some shrimp. Total crap!! Advice: We still have had good luck with the wings, skins, tots and pizza however. Maybe they are cutting back to pay for the renovations? I certainly feel ripped off going here in the last few years. Total shame as it's a cute place in a great location with nice staff. Go for a drink but avoid food at all costs!

Sports Page Bar & Grill - Traditional Buffalo Wings

Sports Page Bar & Grill

3.6(15 reviews)

I was at work over the weekend when I randomly started craving wings. Not just any wings either. I…read morewanted some top notch wings. I started thinking about places nearby, and Sports Page came to mind. I hadn't been there since around 2024, but I remembered how good their wings were. It was only about 20 minutes away, so I figured it was time to go back. Now I just needed someone to go with me. I call my cousin. He tends to be busy, so I didn't know what answer I was going to get. He tells me he has a meeting but will let me know. Most of my other cousins were working, so I called the one cousin I knew was almost always down. Sure enough, he was in. Then, to my surprise, my other cousin texted saying his meeting fell through. Just like that, what started as me trying to find someone to grab wings with turned into lunch with both of them. We get to Sports Page, and obviously I'm getting the wings. My cousins considered them, but one went with the chicken sandwich and the other got the Southwest burger. They both enjoyed what they ordered. When the wings came out, they looked exactly how I remembered them. Medium sized, completely covered in buffalo sauce, and looking fresh out of the kitchen. From the first bite, you get that crisp exterior before getting to the juicy and tender chicken underneath. Even with the sauce covering them, that texture held up from the first wing to the last. The buffalo sauce is really what separates these wings for me. Sports Page only has one wing flavor, and when you make buffalo this well, I understand why. It's rich, buttery, and savory with just the right amount of spice. Some places go too heavy on the butter, and it takes away from what buffalo is supposed to taste like. Others lean too heavily into the vinegar and acidity. Sports Page finds that perfect spot in the middle. The richness and spice complement each other without overpowering the wing. Now, I know I love wings. I go out of my way to try some of the best wing places I can find, so you might think I'm biased. Luckily, I had two people sitting across from me who helped prove my point. Neither cousin ordered wings, but as I was enjoying mine, both reached across the table and grabbed one. I didn't tell them to try one or try to convince them. They just helped themselves. Then they came back for more. What makes this even better is that one of these cousins is basically a wing hater. Not because he dislikes wings, but because he knows how much I love them and thinks I hype them up too much. He's been with me to some of the other top wing places I've tried, so he's heard me talk about wings plenty. That's why watching him reach across the table again and again might have been the best review Sports Page could've gotten from him. He didn't need to tell me they were good. Coming back three times said enough. I ordered 20 wings and somehow only ended up eating around 13. I eventually told both of my cousins they should've just ordered the wings themselves. By the end, they agreed the wings were better than what they had chosen. To me, that's when you know you're not just dealing with good wings. You're dealing with good food. The service was good too. Our waiter was very nice and stayed on top of things. The wings took around 15 to 20 minutes to come out, which I don't mind when they taste fresh and cooked to order. While looking through the menu, I noticed Sports Page says they've won Wing Fest in Chicago. After having these wings again, I believe it. The more of the best wings in Illinois I try, the harder it becomes for a place to stand out. Sports Page still manages to do it. I hadn't been there since around 2024, and the wings tasted just like I remembered, maybe even better. Everything works together, but that buffalo sauce is what pushes them to another level. These wings can compete with some of the best I've had in Illinois and around the country. I waited about two years to come back. After this visit, I don't think I'll be waiting another two. Wings: 9.115/10

Great Experience at Uptown Bar and Grill in Watertown WI…read more Stopped in to the Uptown Bar and Grill and was pleasantly surprised! The bar was busy and full of customers, but there were still plenty of tables available. It took a little while for the bartender/server to get to us because of the crowd at the bar, but it was well worth the wait. The food came out quickly and was piping hot. The fries and tater tots were cooked to perfection: crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and some of the best we've ever had! A nice personal touch was that the chef came out to check on us and make sure everything was good. The restrooms were also clean and well stocked, which is always appreciated. We'll definitely be back!

After an impromptu roller skating session on a Sunday afternoon, we stopped in for lunch. Love the…read morehistory of the bar (look up Turkey Gehrke and his hibernation). Quite sizable, it has tvs throughout with seating at the bar, high tops and tables. Solid beers on tap and a menu of what you expect at a bar-apps, burgers, wings, and sandwiches. Appreciate the fact they use never frozen beef for their (quite large) burgers and source local cheese. We started with some homemade mozzarella sticks wrapped in wonton wrappers. They were great and paired well with both the marinara and ranch sauces we ordered. The burgers we also ordered on point. With the option of pink or no pink, the burgers were chargrilled to order and as I mentioned above, substantial. Our bartender was great and checked in on us regularly. I'm not in Watertown much but wouldn't hesitate stopping in if ever back in the area.
