    Stopped in for lunch. Clean, nicely decorated sports bar with plenty of TV's and games. My wife and…read moreI had unsweetened ice tea and it was very good flavor and no bitterness. Server took our orders and the food came quickly. My wife's Rueben was very good and the Cole slaw was creamy and fresh. I ordered the Tuesday special of boneless wings 69 cents each. Six of each, sweet tai sauce and dry rub bbq. I ordered a side of cole slaw also. I thought I'd be pretty full with a dozen wings but when they came they were the size of the small premade meatballs you'd buy in the grocery store. The tai were just ok, but the dry rub tasted like they were rolled in pure salt. I love salt; but these were terrible. I ate one and thought maybe it was just that one, but the 2nd was just as bad. My wife had one and completely agreed. The server came by and asked how everything was, so I told her and she laughed and said they get that a lot, but didn't offer to replace them. I was hungry, so I rolled the last 3 in blue cheese which barely covered the salt. Another server came by to take our plates and asked how everything was. I told her about the wings and she asked me how many I had and walked to the kitchen. When the bill came there had been no adjustment. Based on my wife's meal it would probably be a 4 star review. Based on the small salty wing balls and disregard of the staff, I wouldn't go back.

    I was in Waukesha on Friday night around dinner time and knew I wanted to stop at someplace I…read morehadn't been to yet for a fish fry. Of the bookmarks I had within reasonable driving distance, Sideliners Pub & Grill intrigued me the most. I ended up ordering the three piece beer battered perch with potato pancakes for the side and wings for an appetizer with half Cajun dry rub and half Jamaican BBQ jerk sauce. I thought it was interesting that the jerk sauce was specifically labeled as "Jamaican BBQ jerk" and it ended up being an accurate description. It was more BBQ flavored than jerk flavored and had almost no heat to it like jerk normal does. The Cajun rub, on the other hand, had great heat and Cajun flavor. The jerk sauce wasn't bad, but my preference was the Cajun rub. In a picture I saw of the potato pancakes they looked like they were Italian breaded, similar to mozzarella sticks. Again, I was intrigued. Unfortunately, the pancakes didn't live up to my expectations. The breading didn't have much Italian seasoning and the pancakes were like mashed potatoes formed into disks rather than more common potato pancakes that are shredded potato flavored with onion. The pancakes were my least favorite part of the meal. The perch didn't taste like yellow lake perch and was probably something cheaper like pike perch. Even though I did like the beer batter, it wasn't exactly was I was hoping for when I ordered perch, but it wasn't bad.

    Came here with a friend on a weekday. We had read that they have pretty good burgers. Arrived a…read morelittle before noon. It is a pub and grill, so that is exactly what we expected, a bar that serves food. A big bar with a large seating area. They also have a large patio that would be nice during warmer weather. On the other side of the dining area is a long wall of video poker machines. That had me a little concerned because they can sometimes be distracting. Got settled in right away with menus and waters. Our server was patient as we kept getting distracted by our conversation. The menu is diverse, with a large selection of apps, salads, burgers, and other sandwiches. Would have loved to try the pepperjack wontons, but that will have to wait until next time. We settled on the Buffalo Burger and the Jalapeno Heater Burger. I was not sure about the jalapenos, so I asked for them on the side. It was a short wait until the burgers arrived. Both were the right temperatures, with mine being a nicely done medium rare. The flash fried jalapenos on the side were very good and not too hot. We ended up eating them separately, like appetizers, and they were surprisingly good. In hindsight I should have placed them back on the burger where they belonged. Both burgers were very good, but the consensus was that the Buffalo Burger was the winner, probably due to the nicely cooked bacon. Everything was going well until a few people sat down at the video poker machines. In many bars the volume is either off or turned way down, or at least the machines are placed near the bar and not so close to the dining area. One machine was at full volume and the noise was genuinely unpleasant. I might want to go back for another burger, but unfortunately the noise from the video games would keep me away.
