    This place was so fun we had a did fry combo dinner. It was amazinggggg. Went there because of the name my friend is will. The fish is made fresh to order. It was ye an operation they have worked on and have it running like a fine engine. The staff was so friendly and they only do cash so come prepared. Prices are good and worth every penny We will definitely go back. Heard the burgers are fabulous also. What a great place

    Slick Willie's has been on my burger bucket list since I saw Steven T's amazing looking photo of their double cheeseburger from 2018. I tried to stop once before, but the place was packed with not a single seat available, so I left empty-handed. This time I got there early enough that a crowd wasn't a problem. I ordered a double cheeseburger with just American cheese, substituted the chips for fries, and ordered grilled wings with BBQ sauce. The wings were ok. They had good grill marks on them and were pretty average size. The BBQ sauce was generic and sort of tasted like Sweet Baby Ray's (not a criticism, just an observation). I wouldn't be opposed to getting them again and try a different sauce. I'm grateful that there was salt, pepper, and ketchup on the table cause the fries were incredibly bland. I wish that I hadn't substituted the chips for them. It's always nice when an item on your bucket list lives up the expectations. The burger was HUGE and seasoned fantastically. I didn't think to ask if it could be cooked medium and I wasn't asked how I wanted it cooked, so it came out well done, but wasn't dry like so many well done burgers tend to be. I don't have a ranked list for my favorite burgers in the area, but if I did theirs would be very high on it. Be aware, Slick Willie's is cash only. I had cash on me so I didn't need to look for an ATM, thus I don't know if they have one on site. The prices are very reasonable so you may not need a ton of cash.

    Threw away $30 for this

    Worst so-called "perch" dinner ever. Everyone in Wisconsin knows what perch is, and it's not "ocean perch". Don't bother - much better options are not far away.

    We went here for Friday night fish fry expecting bar food. Wow were we wrong. This place waaay exceeded our expectations! Don't get me wrong, Slick Willie's is indeed a bar but they serve up great food. I'll start with the chicken wings - which were phenomenal. Quite possibly the best wings I've had. They grill the wings ensuring that they are crunchy and super flavorful, not rubbery or fatty. Omg they were so good! The fried cod was hand battered and not oily at all, extra crunchy too - our table loved it! We also had the fried shrimp which were ok but the cod was the star for sure. The service took forever and you have to fight your way to the bar to order but the food is so good, who cares? It's a corner bar so don't expect a white table cloth. The drinks were good and the food was unexpected. I like it when I'm surprised and Slick Willie's food was a surprise. We'll be back.

    Thats 2 1/3 burgers char grilled and a mound of frys, the Sunday $8.99 special, looks good.

    I have been watching this place for over a year now waiting for the pictures/reviews to build and nothing's changed so you know what they need people, The Steve stop by. I was looking to do my bar beer burger lunch thing because those can be surprisingly good when you go to another neighborhood. The place is your typical neighborhood corner old school dive bar looking place. The inside is typical dive bar with bar/grill on one wall and hi tables on the opposite with a pool table in the back. They have daily specials and Sunday was all you can eat breakfast buffet for $6.99 and an $8.99 double cheeseburger with frys for example. The menu was typical bar food with a bacon cheeseburger and chips/pickle for $6 which I ordered, the bar girl talked me into the double cheeseburger with frys/pickle special for $3 more which I said why not with out of not thinking. There is no taps for beer but there is an ok can/bottle selection. Says their open for breakfast ?. Once again I asked if I could get a rare burger and I was told yes, we will do our best. When the oversized basket hit the table that's when I knew I just Fuc#ed up, it's two thick char grilled 1/3 lb patty's with three slice of cheddar cheese and it's big, real big. No skimping on the chilled lettuce, tomato and raw onion either. The soft kaiser roll never had a chance with the two extra juicy rare 1/3 lb patty's and immediately surrendered, juice was dripping everywhere and if they were cooked well the bun would have held. The meat was tasty with a char flavor and as juicy as a burger can possibly be, this has to be fresh meat because frozen doesn't juice like that. The pickle was nicely chilled just like the toppings, nicely done with the contrast of the hot meat. The frys were horrible and like eating dry styrofoam, not a deal breaker for me because im all about the burger. Wow I'm impressed with the fresh quality of the juicy burger and I hope this is the norm and not the exception because this little dive bar is doing burgers well, even my rare request because anything more starts to cook the juices out. If this was my neighborhood, this would be my go to burger place for sure, well done Slick Willie's.

    What a great little neighborhood bar! Kudos to the kick-a** bartender there on Monday night running the place. She was amazing serving everyone drinks while preparing everyone's dinner! They offer a great variety of dinner options. They offer daily specials. They even do a Sunday brunch buffet. The outdoor/backyard space is enormous in comparison to the bar size. It looks like a great place to sit and have a drink and great food. There is space for bands to play along with an outdoor bar. My friends and I all ordered burgers. We also ordered fries, mushrooms and mozzarella sticks. All of it was delicious! I will definitely be back!!! It's a super relaxed atmosphere!!!

    Increíble small local bar with food that has the home cooked taste. Great fish fry especially the perch. The best I've had anywhere. Hand Pattied burgers that taste like your mom made them. Super affordable prices. Cash only. Limited seating unless you want to eat at the bar. This place is a bar first and a place to eat second. Don't be surprised if you have to pry the bartender away from a dice game to order. Love Slick Willie's.

Ordered sweet Asian chili and medium bone in wings. Preferred the sweet Asian chili sauce. Medium differed from Frank's hot sauce flavor and had a tangier flavor. Unfortunately the skin in the wings were soft and took away from the overall flavor. The meat was tender though, but not seasoned. All the flavor in the sauce. Fries were good, nice spiced and a little crisp. I did order delivery so maybe everything is crisper dining in. Overall a decent contender for the area as other places may have more seasoned wing meat but the meat is overcooked. The wings here were cooked to just right doneness.

The wings are grilled to perfection, seasoned well and they have a list of flavors to choose from. Flavors like PBnJ , Honey Mustard, Dragon's Breathe, etc. The service is very friendly. Our bartender was super nice and funny. The other waitress made sure we were good and polite. The drinks were good too. The bartender made me a crow blackberry mule and then I asked if he could mix a white claws wild cherry, with peach schnapps and grenadine. It literally tastes like a peace of candy. The vibe of the bar is nice. Good music and they had the sports games on so I will definitely comeback. Especially since the specials everyday.

They also have a good menu as well with fish fry on Friday if you love fish fry. As far as parking there is no private lot but there is a lot of street parking available so it shouldn't be a problem. They have a bar area or if you wanna have one on one time with a date or friends they have a back area with tables. Small or large if you come with a group. They have a pool table and also a basketball game to play around while you are drinking. Great big size TV's all over the bar so if you come here during sports you will have a view at every part of the bar.
