This is a smaller burger ... all the love placed in the cooking and simply plated. Overall a perfectly sized and executed meal. Not to much to bloat you and really good flavors. This is a nice American Tavern Eatery with a sit at bar, high top tables, a couple lower booths, and a pool table. I came here for lunch but I could see this place could get hopping at night.

First time here. We were in the area and decided we needed a BBQ lunch…read more Food: They have an extensive menu, with the emphasis on smoked meats. We got a Mile High Reuben and a Pastrami Sandwich. Both had a good portion of very tender smoked meats, and they were served hot. The marble rye was nicely toasted. The order of onion rings was huge. They were hand-breaded with a decent amount of flavor. There was a mix of different sizes, but lots of little pieces, which made them a bit tedious to eat. Service: Super friendly and helpful service. You grab a seat and order at the bar. The food came out in short order. Atmosphere: It's an interesting-looking place, both inside and out. Outside you pass the barbecue that's fired up and smoking the meats. Inside, it has a low ceiling with lots of mugs, over 2,500 of them, that are numbered and belong to customers. There was lots of friendly banter going on between patrons and staff. There were only a few other small groups there, and it was a bit noisy for my tastes. A great place for an excellent sandwich.

I'd known of EJ's for a while, but hadn't gone because they're tucked away off the route I usually…read morego. It wasn't until recently when they started to actively promote themselves on social media that I thought of them before others as a place to try. I called in an order of fried haddock with potato pancakes and mozzarella sticks as an appetizer. I also ordered an extra piece of haddock. The food was ok. The the mozzarella sticks looked homemade but the potato pancakes did not. It weirded me out that the haddock was in little pieces instead of traditional sized pieces. The breading didn't have much flavor, which was a shame given how much fish there was. When I asked for the extra piece of fish, I was told by the person that answered the phone that they didn't know the cost as they were just helping out that night. I (unfortunately) didn't press for an answer because extra pieces at other restaurants are typically close to $3 and I was ok with something in that ballpark. To my utter shock, the bill showed the extra piece (or pieces) was an outrageous $9. Never in my wildest dreams would I pay $9 for an extra piece of fish, especially when the haddock dinner itself was only $11. I should have refused the extra piece when I found out or just left without any of the food, but sadly I didn't. It also would have been nice had they waited to make the extra piece(s) until I got there and could inform me that it was $9. I absolutely would have said no thanks at that point. Note, EJ's is cash only. They do have an ATM, but I don't know what the fees are for using it.

Even though it is not a smoking facility, the smell of cigarette smoke was overwhelming. The only people in there at lunchtime were five 60 something year old males, sitting at the very small bar, talking loudly about everything from politics to blow jobs. Service was average. The french fries were good. The burger was greasy, I ordered a mushroom Swiss...living in Wisconsin you would think Swiss would be real cheese. I don't know what was on the burger, it was not Swiss, I'm not sure it was cheese. The mushrooms were canned. This is fine, as long as you heat them up on the grill, these were not heated. If all you want is a cold beer and some good french fries, and you're not offended by vulgar conversation, this is the place for you. Would not recommend this place for children.

The fries and tots were warm, but not hot. It seems like the food is hammered out with the quickness and may have some food in readiness for the rush. It was quite busy and the servers were on top of it. Now the prices. I may be out of touch, but my burger was $22 with the "upgraded" waffle fries (burger price was not on specials menu.) We both had one $7-$8 drinks and the bill with tip was $70+. I must be out of touch with pricing, but yo mama if I am going to pay that again for a couple of average meals. 3.5 is my rating, because it is an organized machine and very efficient. Joe Mama food is just an average Mama. Culvers is better IMO.

I saw a post that Nite Owls made in a foodie group on social media about having key lime pie as a…read morespecial item for the weekend. I figured I was going to have a fish fry somewhere since it was a Friday in Wisconsin, so the pie, coupled with the fact I had never been to Nite Owls, led me to choose them that evening. I ordered a four piece cod fish fry with waffle fries, the white cheddar cheese curds, and a piece of key lime pie. There were very few pictures of food from Nite Owls online, so the fish fry and cheese curds were essentially ordered blindly. The description of the curds said they were white cheddar and lightly breaded. My guess was that meant they had the cornmeal-like kind of breading that white curds usually come with, which I'm not a fan of. I took a chance and ordered them anyway. Unfortunately, my guess was proven right. The curds were greasy on the bottom and not crispy/crunchy, which is typical for that kind of breading on cheese curds. Disappointing, but sadly not the most disappointing part of my meal. The waffle fries were good. Hard to screw up taking them out of a bag and frying them. They were seasoned, not plain, which was good. It's rare when I order a fish fry and don't like the fish. The fish from Nite Owls can be added to that short list. The breading was thick, somehow a little mushy inside, and I didn't care for the flavor at all. I tried to pick it off the fish and it did come off fairly easily, but the flavor of the breading had seeped into the cod and left me not wanting to eat much of that either. Ultimately I finished two of the four pieces without the breading and ended up throwing the other two away. The picture of the pie made it look like it was whipped throughout instead of pie filling with a whipped layer on top. It certainly had the flavor of key lime, but missed out on the substance without the pie filling layer. The gentleman working behind the bar was pleasant and helpful and my bill was reasonable for the amount of food I received. I hate giving them a bad review because the service doesn't deserve one, but the food was lacking in my opinion. If the fish had been tolerable enough to eat all four pieces, this would be a different story.
