Farzad I.
had this to say:
At first glance, the place presents itself as a neighborhood dive--a worn-in local haunt where the décor is secondary to the conversation. But the illusion fades the moment a Bloody Mary arrives at the table. This is a bar that takes its craft seriously.
The cocktail was thoughtfully prepared and balanced, revealing an attention to detail rarely found in establishments trading on casual charm alone. The atmosphere is equally compelling: lively without being chaotic, welcoming without feeling manufactured. It possesses the kind of authenticity that cannot be designed or replicated.
In an era of increasingly curated hospitality, this remains a genuinely local gathering place--unpretentious, distinctive, and unmistakably its own.

Went for their breakfast on word of mouth. Not a really big place but we got a place at the bar. Bloody Mary & chaser , great flavor . Had the eggs Benedict with crabcakes and steak and it was some of the best hollandaise sauce that I've ever had. The bartenders were top notch and there was never a wait for anything. The decor is squirrels of course , the foot rest a little stumps and the people were friendly. A great place for breakfast.

Walleye and eggs? Who knew that this was a great combination. The perfect Wisconsin dive bar that is serving some pretty amazing food with a very limited kitchen. Have stopped for breakfast 2 times and the food and service can't be beat. And yes walleye for breakfast is amazing! The place is always packed so be patient and have a drink and enjoy the hometown atmosphere!

If you are looking for a classic Wisconsin small bar experience, look no further. Packed with locals, meat raffle in play, tasty food right from a flat top behind the bar, and drinks that satisfy. Get there early, the place was packed when we went on a weekend!

Love their burgers, always big and flavorful. Sides are typical small dive bar fried goodness.
