    Friday Special - cod beer battered
    Madeleine G.

    First time having fish fry on a Friday in Wisconsin - our group had an amazing experience. Delicious cocktails and complimentary rolls. Fries were crispy and greasy in a good way :) our server was awesome and even split the check for our large group individually which was super appreciated. Friends enjoyed the lobster risotto and salmon, good portion sizes too!

    Cracked glass served to a guest.

    Overall very poor experience. Our server had a tendency to ask us a question and walk away before we had even answered. The artichoke dip appetizer was a bit odd having whole artichoke chunks with a light sauce. The cheese curds have an oiled taste and the sauce accompaniment is off. The water tastes strange also. When we were given a bread basket it had a long brown hair in it. Upon receiving the beef stroganoff, it was overly heavy and frankly a bit nauseating. Tasted like gravy with noodles. The restaurant itself is attractive I'll say, but small. A guest I was dining with also realized she was drinking out of a cracked glass served to her. That's about it.

    Duck poutine w a fried egg
    rene r.

    We thoroughly enjoyed Sobie's last night for dinner. We started with a local Oconomowoc beer and a bourbon old fashioned- both good. For appetizer, it was happy hour so fried cheese curds were 1/2 off. The mustard dill dipping sauce was tasty- even better when we added extra Dijon to it. The curds were plump w cheese, yum- not overly bready nor overly fried. Our dinners were duck poutine, and a fried chicken combo. I appreciated that one could order all dark meat, all white meat, or mixed. I opted for all dark meat. Good thing my sister helped me; it was 2 thighs and 2 legs. Chicken and French Fries were perfectly cooked and delicious. Sister enjoyed her poutine too. Not the healthiest meal but we were on vacation, and that's what we ordered. We were seated in a booth across from the bar. We didn't realize the restaurant was filling up until we were leaving. It wasn't too loud, which was nice. Definitely recommended!

    Duck Poutine did not disappoint! Delish!!!!!

    Friday nights at the Sobies bar are always fantastic. Bartenders make great drinks and the food is great! We love the duck poutine, broasted chicken and fish fry. Gotta get an old fashioned and a jalapeño beer every time as well. Don't forget soups- those are great as well!

    The inside of the restaurant looks really cool, it reminds me of a 1920s speak easy, even down to the music being played. However overall I thought the experience was okay, I'm not sure we will be giving it another try. The food was decent overall, the Ruben I ordered was fine - the fries were a highlight for me, those were delicious. The drinks on the fall menu sounded good in theory but didn't quite make the mark. The flavor profiles that they tried to combine sounded better than they were. The s'mores old fashion we had - chocolate flavors + old fashion vibes didn't quite work, and the maple margarita was just very sweet, nothing else about it was different from the average margarita. Service got better as the time went by, I think there was some miscommunication because our server walked away from us in the middle of taking our order. I'm going to assume they thought we needed more time to review the menu, but in actuality we wanted their opinion on narrowing down the options in front of us.

    Smoked Manhattan and Cherry lime margarita
    Jennifer H.

    The cherry lime margarita didn't really taste like a margarita - just a basic fruity drink. But the Reuben balls and Quack poutine were definite winners! Service was great. Atmosphere was pleasant. We'd eagerly eat here again when passing through.

    My dad and I had a great time at Sobie's! Food was great but be ready for a little bit of a wait. I really enjoyed the poutine and got it with no chives. My dad was a little thrown off by his sandwich not having a top layer of bread, but ended up liking it better that way! He upgraded to the sweet potato fries which were good but heavily salted. Already looking forward to going back though!

    Very cool find, food was delicious and had some higher end offerings but also middle of the road menu items for everyone. Didn't break the bank. Great service, cool vibe. Local beer. Would go back.

There was apparently a birthday party for a six-year-old with some very wild children running about. Once they left, the place was much more pleasant. 3.5/5

All of the servers that we have ever had here have been really, really nice as well as well informed as to the menu. The lasagna here is PHENOMENAL!! My wife and I usually order different dishes so that we can try new things, but here we always both order the lasagna. A typical night for us looks like an order of the bruschetta as an app, two lasagna entrees...and maybe a few vodka sodas and captain and diets to wash things down :) I have also tried the pizza a few times, and it is good...but the heart in my stomach is in love with the lasagna.

They also have different specialty cocktails throughout the year. -Cheese curds...I know, it's Wisconsin, but these are right up there with the elite. Cons: -I'll let you know when I find some. We've been to Crafty Cow several times over the last year, probably four or five times, and we've always been impressed by how friendly the waitstaff and bar staff are. The owner is also very nice and clearly involved, which I think is cool. I almost always order the same thing: the chicken strip meal, which comes with three huge strips and a large side of fries. The chicken here is really interesting because it's marinated in pickle brine. You can definitely taste the brine, and it adds something you didn't even realize was missing. My wife used to order the same thing, but now she tries something different each time because she knows she can share my strips. Everything she has tried has been good. Also worth mentioning: they have really good ranch dressing. I was surprised when I looked up Crafty Cow on Yelp and saw that it had less than four stars. Looking at some of the older reviews, I'm guessing it may have had a bit of a rocky start. But based on our experiences, Crafty Cow has been consistently great, and we'll definitely keep coming back.

Great Morning Wrap - always has the right ratio of ingredients so you get a little of everything in each bite. PRO TIP: ask for an extra side of the chipotle mayo. Other things that we have tried and enjoyed: Chicken Dumpling Soup -- always recommended by those who have tried it. Steak and Eggs - good portion for the price and well seasoned. Eggs Benedict - really rich hollandaise sauce, and the fresh arugala balances well against that richness. This is one of my wife's favs. Biscuits & Gravy - this definitely ranges, better sometimes vs. others,but that range is great (4.5*) to good (3.5*). It just depends on the day that you go I have probably eaten at Maxim's 12-15 times and have never had an unsatisfying experience. I am sure that they will treat you right too!

We ordered a few different things for lunch. The French onion soup was very salty, but the brisket sandwich that they had on the menu was amazing. The brisket was like butter.

I can't put my finger on it. I would not recommend. All in all, if you're looking for a place for brunch while you're in Oconomowoc, you might wanna stop in here just for an experience once. I don't know that we will be back, but you never know. I will say there is a large variety across three menus. So somebody should be able to find something that they like.

The place is veteran owned and has a military flare to the decor. For our area, this is welcome and we have nothing like it. They also frequently have live music, and I do love me some live music. The service has been great both time I was there. I sat at the bar the first time and a table the second...just to make sure the service was great in both locations! Of course bar service is always faster because you are right in front of them, but I will say I did not have to wait at any point to sit, order, or pay. They were friendly and genuinely wanted to make sure everything tasted as good as it looked. When I go to places that run specials I am voted less likely to order off the menu and I have stuck with that philosophy with SteelTank. The first time I had a steak and shrimp pasta. It was so good I could not stop eating it. I ate nearly all of it and had zero regrets, but I was happy I had a few bites left to enjoy the next day. Second stop, Sausage & Pepperoni stuffed Bavarian pretzel. This pizza of the week is delicious! The pretzel is cut in half and stuffed and not hollowed out as most places do. You can see from the pictures it is stuffed and you can taste the pizza. Greens with a pizza you say? YES! So good, the vinaigrette dressing that is on that pretty little salad is making my mouth water as I type! Specials were not mentioned either time I went. The specials are posted on Facebook and that is how I knew about SteelTank and what I should order. That would be my only complaint, when you receive a menu patrons should be told what the specials are - or - post it somewhere so people know.
