For entrees we had the bacon burrito jalapeño and classic steak fajitas. The burrito had a nice kick to it and the Mexican sausage added a real depth of flavor. The steak for the fajitas was cooked perfectly (too many places lately overcook theirs and it's like gnawing on shoe leather) and the dish was flavorful, from the tantalizing meat & veg on the sizzling platter to the rice and beans. The staff checked in regularly to offer refills and see how we were liking our meals. We can't wait to stop in the next time we're in town!!

Stopped here for lunch on a Tuesday with my husband to break up our 5 hour drive home from Duluth…read more The menu was great. Prices were reasonable. Complimentary chips and salsa almost beat us to the table. The salsa was great! A lot of cilantro which I love. (Fair warning to those that don't!) I was super excited to see they had great breakfast options available until 3pm. If I see huevos con chorizo on a menu, that's what I'm getting. It was fantastic here! Served with rice and beans which is certainly typical for most Mexican restaurants. The beans and rice at most places usually just seems to be plate filler. At Rancho Grande, I thought the beans and rice actually added to the dish. The rice was actually still fluffy and had good flavor instead of being dried out like some places. My husband had a chicken chimichanga that he really liked. We had to have margaritas too, of course. Lime on the rocks with salt and the perfect lime slice. We both thought the margs were great. What could be better than a margarita and huevos con chorizo for a quick lunch stop? How about the service and attention from the staff?! They did excellent. We had 4 different people tag teaming the service and all were super friendly and attentive. There was always at least one server either making the rounds or at least overseeing the dining area to observe and identify anyone that may have needed something. I wish we lived closer! This would be a regular spot for us, for sure! If we're back in the area, we'll stop in again. If you are in the area, do yourself a favor and check it out! Bonus info if any of this interests you: gambling machines with ATM payout, yard of margarita on tap, early open for breakfast.

Fish fry on Friday. Nice haddock…read moreThey have 1, 2 or all you can eat options for the fish dinner. We had fried, baked and Cajun grill at the table, all done well. You get 2 sides and toast. Coleslaw was a second choice as daughter for the last baked potato, was standard coleslaw fare. Chicken dumpling soup was a great start to a wonderfully satisfying meal. Hot fries, big steamy potato and plenty of haddock delivered quick. Family running place very friendly and quick service even with a pretty full house. They give you a carafe when you order coffee, some people don't like that but I do! Glad we found as the others were serving cod or pollock.

The most difficult thing with Chick-A-Dee's was finding parking, as they don't have a parking lot…read moreand street parking wasn't even an option in front of the restaurant. They have a decent amount of seating inside (booths) with a lot of antiques on the walls to keep you entertained. Our waitress was great!! Very friendly and attentive. We ordered the half-order of biscuits & gravy with hash browns, and half-order of eggs Benedict with hash browns, but I can assure you the half-order was still a plentiful and filling amount. I loved my biscuits & gravy with hash browns; the B&G were flavorful and well-seasoned. My mom loved her hash browns, but was disappointed with the eggs Benedict, as we are used to fresh eggs from our neighbor and she said the eggs had a sour smell to them and tasted off. I would definitely go back for the service, food, reasonable prices, and to support a veteran-owned business.

Stopped into this little gem, while out of town for a softball tournament, with a group of 9. The…read moreseating in this spot is limited, but the food is delicious. They have three round barrel high top tables (5 people?), one long table for 8-10 people, and a few swivel stools along the wall for seating. From the moment we walked in we were greeted by the employees and they were very helpful in answering our questions when we had a tough time deciding what to order. Platters come with two sides, pickles, onions are an option too, but I'm not a fan, and a piece of cornbread. I initially planned on one type of meat and some sides, but after watching those ahead of me in our group get their food I couldn't decide. Opted for a three meat platter and was very glad I did. Three meats I chose included pulled pork, brisket, and ribs. The ribs were falling off the bone, full of flavor and a great option. Brisket, which I don't usually choose because I don't enjoy the fatty pieces, was phenomenal. Pulled pork came in bigger chunks and was fine, but the brisket and ribs were the star of the show. Each piece of meat was pulled from the oven and sliced for us right at the counter. My sides were mac & cheese and the cucumber salad. The mac was nice and creamy with the right balance of cheesy goodness and salt, making sure it's not just a blah noodle. The cuke salad was also a delightful surprise. I was expecting more of a vinegar base since it is listed as fresh cucumber salad, but it came out as a creamy salad with dill. The tomatoes mixed into the salad are marinated, giving it another burst of flavor with each bite. The cornbread was a little dense, but it was sweet, and served with a hefty amount of butter. Overall, this southerner would rate this as the best BBQ I've found so far in Wisconsin. My father-in-law, who is hard to please when it comes to food, was also with us and I overheard him telling someone on the phone that "it was the best BBQ he's ever had." My husband was hoping to try the burnt ends, but they weren't quite ready for serving while we were there. During our visit, a team of employees was also preparing for a catering event. They all sat down at a barrel top table and discussed the upcoming event and the plan for the evening. Everyone seemed fully informed on what their job was and the upcoming menu and when it was to be served. I would have confidence in this group if I had an event they were catering based on the taste and their thoroughness in planning.

The burgers are cooked pretty close to your liking, even if you ask for rare...which I find to be rare in the Midwest, so mos def a plus. There is also a pretty solid assortment of brews to choose from, as one would expect at an ale house. Also, even on a random weekday night, the day or so before Thanksgiving to be precise, we received decent service. Definitely worth checking out... if not just for the glorious DFB.

It's in a nice multi use development off River Prairie in a stand alone building shared with several other businesses. They have a great outdoor patio area as well, with some shade. So we were quickly seated by the hostess ( who also brought us tortilla chips and salsas. Within a minute a waiter(we assumed) came over and asked if we wanted to order any drinks. We give him our order and off he goes. In a few minutes another waiter comes to our table and asks the same thing. I tell him we just provided another waiter with our order. His response, oh, that's the bus boy??? ‍ So we give him the drink order and off he goes. After our drinks arrive our waiter asks if we are ready to order and we give him our order as it is starting to get busy with some larger tables filling up. We ended up ordering the carne asada plate and a chicken tamale plate with extra pork tamale. All the plates come with beans and rice as sides. Our meals arrive and they look great. Unfortunately, the carne asada was very tough. Not sure if they marinaded it at all or what,but was very tough. This is my wife's go to meal when eating Mexican, so she is very familiar with how it should taste and even cut. Sadly the tortillas were very greasy, which you can see in the pictures. Not sure if they sprayed them with oil before heating, but not great. My tamales were just ok. Meat was very dry even when I added a a lot of hot sauce. The rice and beans were ok as well. So overall kind of average. Would I come back again, probably not. There seemed to be a lot of Mexican restaurants in the Altoona/Eau Claire area that I would try before coming back.
