    Deep fried shrimp.mmmmm

    This was our best visit here by far. The shrimp were huge and cooked to perfection. My husband had tenderloin which was cooked to his well done taste.

    Nice senic area in Jefferson on the river! Went there for goat fest. The restaurant was quite nice and the prime rib was good but only warm. I guess I never had a bad prime rib! Nice weekend stroll date.

    Large Beautiful dining room with historic photos and lots of windows with a view of the bridge

    I love the vibe of this place, a gorgeous historic building high ceilings, beautiful bricks, turquoise concrete floors and huge windows! That is just the aesthetics, somehow with all those incredible details this place feels comfortable and homey! the service and food are great! We love taking a Sunday drive and. Ending up here for leisurely food and beverages! Highly recommend you try a there cheese curds and old fashioneds

    This is not the gobbler.

    Good food, I'd highly recommend the gobbler. The other food was good as well. I cannot recommend the gobbler enough, everyone should try it at least once in their lifetime. They didn't have pizza available because the oven was not on. However I would say skip the pizza and go straight for the gobbler.

    The Heron's Grilled Chicken Sandwich

    The Herons Landing is a casual, spacious restaurant that has a variety of items on their menu from burgers, to pizza, to filet mignon. I came with a group of family members for Sunday dinner and we started the evening off with the best cheese curds I've ever had. I believe the cheese curds were beer battered. The crust was soft, yet slightly crispy and the cheddar type cheese was really good. For dinner, I ordered the Herons Landing Grilled Chicken Sandwich with Sweet Potato Fries. The chicken sandwich was good, but I felt the pretzel bun was way too thick for the chicken. However, I did enjoy the sandwich, as it was typical but decent. The Sweet Potato Fries were great...not too soft and not too crispy. The service was a little slow, but this is a very laid back restaurant so don't come with high expectations. Just come to relax, eat, and look out at the water. I had a good time.

    After attending my boyfriend's nephew's birthday party in Jefferson, we decided to grab a late lunch/early dinner since hot dogs & sloppy joes just weren't speaking to us at the party. My boyfriend had been wanting to try The Heron's Landing so off we went. It's a beautiful riverside space with lots of big windows, rustic decor, and clean facilities. Due to the odd time (mid-afternoon Saturday) there was only one other table so it was pretty quiet. We were told to pick a seat and the bartender came over to take our drink orders. Shortly after a server took our food order and made sure we had been helped with beverages. Our orders were quick to arrive - a bonus of the empty restaurant. I went for The "Heron Chicken" Sandwich (no idea why it's in quotes) - a hand-breaded fried chicken breast, bacon, avocado, garlic aioli, and cheese (I subbed cheddar in place of Swiss) on a pretzel bun. I also upgraded to the sweet potato fries. My boyfriend opted for the The "Blue Heron" Burger (again, the weird, unnecessary quotes) which had bleu cheese and bacon plus their regular fries (the Brew City brand). My fries were great, plank cut and cooked through properly, something that doesn't always happen with sweet potato fries. My sandwich was a bit overcooked and chewy, but I honestly don't mind it that way. The combination of flavors was good, but I could have done with a little less aioli - I'm not a fan of globs of mayo. The biggest thing was everything could have used a little seasoning. I can count on one hand the number of times per year I add salt to my food (aka basically never) so if I think something needs salt, it probably realllly needs salt. My boyfriend enjoyed his dish and the total for two meals and a beer was around $25 - not too bad. I'd return if we were in the area, and look forward to checking out their menu of blended ice cream drinks. Always good to see the Wisconsin supper club culture alive and well, even if it's outside the supper club scene.
