    My husband and I had a wonderful time here. The menu options were impressive and we had a hard time choosing what to get. They also had excellent specials today. Service was great and the overall vibe of the restaurant was very inviting.

    Amazing service, lots of food options. Check for the pretzel of the week. This week was bananas foster cheese cake. There is handicap access to main dinning room but has a sharp corner at the entrance.

    This place is always packed for a reason, great food. The prime rib sandwich and the rueben were amazing. Not a huge fan of the honey sriracha chicken sandwich though. Would definitely recommend this place.

    The owner is awesome. Super accepting and kind dude who has made an inclusive space for everyone. The servers are incredible. I asked for a pitcher of water for the table and she brought us each our own pitcher. That's the type of service I'm looking for everywhere and Tallys is the first place to go above and beyond like that. The food is amazing here. Portions are big and the quality is amazing. I always get the Buffalo chicken pretzel and it's the best thing I've ever eaten. The pricing is so reasonable. My husband and I spent $30 total on a meal that left us so full we didn't have room for dinner. Plus they host the #1 bingo queen in the country and have a blackout round for charity. You couldn't ask for a better place to support

    2 different appetizer orders. Pork carnitas nachos. Appetizer consists of homemade tortilla chips, provolone and Monterey jack cheese sauce, Pico de gallo, guacamole, jalapeño cintro, and shredded pork. Portion size was a 1/2 serving option only but was enough for 1 adult. The appetizer was good. Liked the pork and liked the jalapeño cintro sauce. Would order again. Supreme nachos. Appetizer consists of homemade tortilla chips, cheese sauce, tomatoes, black olives, green onion, and ground beef. Sour cream and salsa on the side. Portion size options are half and full. Ordered full. Full size was enough for 2 adults. The appetizer was ok. I didn't care for the seasoning choice on the ground beef. I wouldn't order again. Both appetizers are served as a stacked food. Meaning there's plenty of non topping chips on the bottom.

    This is a bar type setting with really good food. This isn't typical bar food. Place is clean and the food is fresh. I like the new changes they made to the menu. The fish fry and clam chowder soup was on point. It is all you can eat fish fry but I couldn't finish the first serving. My husband got the tropical fish tacos which were really good.

    We stopped by on a chilly Friday night for a fish fry, as we heard it was pretty good. Although it was cold outside, the heat was on inside, almost got a little warm towards the end of dinner. The place is pretty big and and we didn’t have a problem getting a table for our family. Our waitress was very quick and got us our drinks right away! The menu is HUGE and everything sounded so good! We all go the fish fry, but the good the the other tables all looked good. The fish fry plates were ginormous, could definitely have spot with someone. Prices weren’t too bad for food or drink and would definitely go back to try some more of the menu!

    In Waukesha, and I was dying for a big a$$ crispy chicken salad. Tally's was close, so we decided to give lunch a try. We were not disappointed! I ordered their classic giant pretzel appetizer (they had other varieties too!), which was served with beer cheese and honey mustard. Delicious. My wish came true with their Cobb salad. So many items in this salad: spring greens, spinach, grilled chicken, bacon pieces, egg, avocado, cheese, tomato, red pepper and more! No crispy chicken options but this salad was fantastic! Hubby had the AL Copone sandwich. Italian sausage Patty with a side of marinara. He opted to exclude onions and peppers. He think the Patty had some cheese in it. He chose house chips which were great. I asked if they could pack up the rest of the chips which I devoured on the way home. He enjoyed the sandwich but either the sauce, Patty or both were a bit spicier than he likes. Would we go back if in the neighborhood? YES! Many other choices to try.

    Food and service are delicious. We go for the pretzel of the week whenever we're out that way. But definitely let them know if you're getting the pretzel because they do sell out. The only reason atmosphere gets 4 stars is because it is a nosiey bustling bar feel so definitely go for the food but maybe not a quiet conversation

    5/11/23 at 6:30p My father and I came here to grab some dinner. The food was pretty good. The waitress was very nice and friendly. It was a bit cold where they seated us.

    The al capone sandwich is to die for! Pictured: al capone and jerk chicken wrap.

    We always have great food and great service at Tally's. Their fish fry on Friday is delicious. I also love their mushroom Swiss burger, and their nachos. They have a great selection of beers on tap and in cans/bottles. It is always packed when we visit, and can be a little loud just because it's always so busy, but even at its busiest, we've always had great service.

    Food here is great. Everything I have tried has been very, very fresh and tasty. You can tell they change the oil in their fryers regularly because the fried fish, and home fries have a clean taste and crispness to them. Salads are nice darker greens, also fresh. Chili is very good, bacon wrapped jalapeños excellent. We usually sit at the back bar, but service there is great. Friendly folks on staff. Atmosphere is American Family restaurant in front and sports bar in back. Not super fancy but nice.

    We had a fish fry here just before the pandemic and were disappointed. It seems to always be crowded on Friday evenings so we thought to give it another try, how bad could it be? Again mediocre at best. The service was fast and friendly. The salad and potato pancakes were excellent, but the fish batter was soggy and kinda ruined the meal. The fried cod is much better at the family restaurant across the tracks as we have tried both several times.

    Great food, great service. Always fun to come here. Lots of TV's big bar. Great selection of cocktails and craft beers.

    They were busy when we got there, however no one told our server we were sat so other tables that were sat after us had orders in and food to them faster than us. When it was noticed we did get an apology and we do understand it does happen, unfortunately was not a night we could afford the extra 10-15 minutes. Other than that no issues with service for how busy they were. Food was okay, not nearly close to as great as we see people rave about online. Chicken tender basket seemed skimpy on the chicken for cost. Italian beef caught me off guard as I wasn't expecting essentially pot roast. Aside from the meat texture and flavor being off it was okay as well. Sour Cream Chips were meh, but the cook on them was excellent -- all crisp, not greasy. The fries are some of my favorite cuts of fries so that's a plus. It would not be my first choice in the area to go back to given price, portions and the overall loudness of the other patrons. Ambient noise was much higher than even larger establishments have been. The cost of kids meals also seemed extremely high as well, and there's no kids burger.

    Great service and delicious food 😋 good sized portions. Very happy 😊

    Went on a Friday for the fish fry. Fish was light and crispy. The potato pancakes would have been good if they were hot. They were very good about my sister in-laws gluten allergie. Waitress was on point. I would recommend this place if you want a good fish fry. And I would stick with the fries instead of the potato pancakes

    We met up with some friends based on their recommendation. What a cool place, the menu was very well balanced and being a bit of a foodie my expectations are higher. My dinner was AWESOME and the drinks were well crafted. Overall it was a fun time and would recommend you pay them a visit. Also, the staff is Top Notch!!

    Been to Tally's more times than I can count and never leave unsatisfied. Tonight was a busy, rainy Saturday there. We went with our 3 kids (all under 5 yrs old) and were treated very kindly by staff and other diners. The fajita wrap is so darn delicious (my fav thing on the menu), and their tally fries are unique and tasty. And their stuffed pretzels and pizza- both so good! It's louder than average and although we love sitting at the bar, the restaurant atmosphere isn't the greatest. But we go back time and time again. Thanks, Tally's Team for providing this community with a great place to dine!

    Good quality food but has been cold the last few times we've been there. (Windows open or the AC cranked up) Bring a sweatshirt... no joke.

  • 5/5 Burt R. 2 years ago on Google
    First time visiting here and so glad we found the place. Great food and easy to watch the game. A little noisy but not too bad. Family friendly and we noticed on the way out a second bar, need to check into that next time. Biggest issue is parking. Definitely an issue here. We park what I would say is a couple block down the street. Plan ahead of you someone who has trouble walking in your party. We will be back.
