The food includes the Irish stuff you would expect, and in the past they've been great. Think fish & chips, Shepards pie (actually cottage). My friend and I had sandwiches this visit and they were great. The menu says you get chips. What you get is a generous portion of deep fried potato rounds, just a little thick. Some crunchy and some a little soft. The dill pickle... not my favorite but that's my take. Do Not skip the appetizer. The mushrooms are amazing. They are roasted or braised, and they are delicious. There are Irish beers here including Guinness, Harp, etc. or if you prefer something else there's a full bar.

If you are lucky enough to be there when they have a special holiday menu, you won't be disappointed! Their Valentine's Day menu was absolutely scrumptious. We started with the stuffed Portobello mushrooms. It was an elevated, winter take on a Caprese salad. The mushrooms were served warm with a topping of marinara, fresh basil, melted mozzarella and a balsamic glaze. Absolutely order them! I wish they were part of the daily menu. We had the crab crusted cod and the Italian crusted filet mignon. Both were outstanding, but the filet was our favorite. It was served medium rare with garlic mashed potatoes and asparagus. The tenderloin melted in your mouth! I appreciated the extra effort the staff put in to make Valentine's Day extra special in a small town, from the specialty menu to the waitstaff both dressing to the nines and giving impeccable service. Don't miss this hidden gem in tiny Cochrane, Wisconsin!

The Abbey is one of my favorite places in Menomonie. Not only is the atmosphere really cool and…read morelaid back but the staff are always friendly and willing to strike up a conversation. It always seems like there is a really relaxed vibe and the low lighting and heated bar really add to this experience. I used to think that The Abbey was just a bar (by no means a bad thing!) but I stopped in for lunch and had a spectacular pulled pork sandwich a few days ago. Dare I say it... The best pulled pork sandwich in downtown Menomonie?! The sauce sounds like it would be weird because there is mustard in it but I can confirm that it is delicious and really makes the sandwich. Props to The Abbey for having a limited menu and having a few really good dishes instead of a bunch of average bar food. Apart from the atmosphere, food and staff there are really good drink specials at The Abbey as well! Every day there is a near unbearable special. When school is in session these deals are definitely taken advantage of by the Stout students. If I had to credit this place for just one thing it would be that the building itself is such a relaxing place. No flashing lights, no overly loud music and no amateur DJ screaming at the top of their lungs like other bars in Menomonie. Even yet, if inside is a little too much you can always step out onto the patio. If you're looking for a relaxed cocktail in Menomonie this is your place.

My dog enjoys the back patio where she can chill and dream about all the wonderful smells that waft from the kitchen. The sandwiches are amazing.
