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.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND Working with clients in Oconomowoc, I…read morerecently lunched at Crafty Cow Burgers & Fried Chicken; we had a terrific experience! The interior decor is very 'pub' like with expanses of dark wood and many art prints/framed works on the walls; there is a large bar in the front area with several tables/high-tops. In the back, the aesthetic is more 'industrial' with exposed brickwork and beams. We were greeted by the bartender (?) and seated immediately; our waitress brought us menus, reviewed the specials with us, and then brought our drinks. Crafty Cow specialises in 'craft' sodas and I enjoyed a very nice diet 'cola' drink with lemon; it was delicious. I ordered the chicken sandwich with the 'Nashville Hot' seasoning (because, hello, Nashville Hot) and it arrived piping hot with lots of shoe-string fries, also piping hot. The flavours were absolutely wonderful, full of contrast and balance. The 'heat' from the chicken was excellent; the chicken was plump and juicy, and had been perfectly breaded and fried. The slaw was also excellent: just the right balance of sweet and crunchy to offset the hot chicken. My clients and I enjoyed our visit to Crafty Cow Burgers & Fried Chicken and plan to return! HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Compared to other German Markets it is still quite small but it was packed and I heard good things about it this year too. It's a great boost to the economy of such a pretty little town. Much of what you will find are jewelry, trinkets, handmade goods and soaps. But if you don't like what the Christmas market has to offer then feel free to visit the shops around town. Many of the shops ans bars actually had pop-ups in the upper floors that were selling goods too. Don't be afraid to ask or explore if you see other people milling around near stairwells. What made this one stand out, and wanting to come back, was the beer hall. Music, food, drinks, tons of strangers. It's not my normal cup of tea but it was definitely a reason to stay and warm up a bit. And once you've had enough of that, go outside, buy a cup of cocoa and sit by the fire or walk around town to take in the sites. It's really pretty at night. And, buy a giant pretzel when you go. And don't share it unless you have to. So good! Parking was the only issue I've had here. We ended up parking down near the courthouse I think, but be prepared to drive in a few circles looking for spots to open up. The walk is never too far but it can be a bit agonizing finding the perfect fit if you are awful at parallel parking like I am. From my experience prices are fair but look around at everything first unless there is a one of a kind item you must buy. Just like anywhere else, there are some multiples, so you can find a similar or same item for less at another booth - depending on how competitive the vendors are with pricing.

I ordered the Caprese pizza and it was okay! I also had a glass of wine that unfortunately was never offered to be refilled. The restrooms were clean and well kept!

While slightly annoying, we were mostly just concerned that the kitchen was going to close on us.

Over all the meal was delicious. My wife loves the blackened snapper and I tried the po boy this time. I think it could use a little more fish or less bread, but overall the seasoning was solid and the fish was flaky and delicious. We will be back!

I realized that the zipper on my…read morepants was half down, there were other patrons in the store, so trying not to bring attention to myself I walked around to the next aisle. Quickly as possible, I took care of the situation and everything was fine until the owner standing in front of me asked me if I just pissed on his floor. I looked at him and said what and he said it again did you just piss on my floor I said no my zipper was down and I secured it and he then walked away, adding to the embarrassment of walking into a public establishment having my fly down. Now just the other day. I googled liqueur that I needed for a specific cocktail. And Flannery's came up. So I called and acquired about that specific item when I did this. His comment was well. I'm a liquor store and it's a liquor. That's why it came up. I don't carry it. So I guess I snapped back and said well there's another liquor store down the street and their name didn't come up and then he replied that's because I pay $160 a month that would be for search engine optimization those are not his words those are mine. In return, I responded, whoa spin the wheel, big spender. Then I thought he was going to hang up on me, but he didn't. He just responded. Good luck in your quest. All I have to say is reputation, goes a long ways as does word-of-mouth. You need to work on your customer skills because if I were an alcoholic which I'm not, and you were the last liquor store on the planet I would never drink again!

The owner definitely has a passion for beer and makes it a point to stock any and all limited/hard to find beers he can.

They have reasonable prices, and a nice little cigar selection also.
