    Zero expectations grabbing lunch today. But the sesame ginger shrimp was DELICIOUS and came out super fast. Didn’t have a bloody (I was driving) but they looked amazing!

    Nice place with outdoors sitting. We have been there for lunch and ordered avocado Salad ( good), kid’s fish and fries ( good), kid’s chicken tenders (could be better, just Two small pieces), and another plate I don’t remember the name, but with chicken, rice and mango vinaigrette (okay).

    I had brunch in America, and it was a delightful experience. The restaurant served a fantastic combination of eggs and avocado, which was simply delicious. The outdoor seating added to the pleasant ambiance, allowing me to enjoy the fresh air while savoring my meal. I would rate it a solid 3 out of 5.

    Located off the main square of downtown Wausau, it features a joined bar with live music on Friday's. Friendly staff, outside eating and four booths that were indoor/outdoor with a beautiful view of the outdoor amphitheater. Food good and fresh, not the best meal I've ever had but still good. The tots pretty awesome, lots of flavor with a unique parmesan twist.

    Great food. I got the fish tacos, and they were amazing. I ordered Chipotle Ranch in place or Sriracha. My neice got the kids mac and cheese, and that was even delicious. Live music you could listen to while enjoying your dinner inside or outside since the windows were open inside and they were playing outside. We'll definitely be back. Thank you

    Excellent service! The food was delicious and more than I could finish. The atmosphere was fun and outdoor dining was offered. Highly recommend!

    Food wrong no service. Sister gloating about being owner sister. If you hire family they clearly do not have what it takes to work anywhere else. Food was wrong remake wrong nothing done to bill or an apology done. Snippy service. Came for early dinner with a friend visiting while I go thru chemo for cancer. Trash service. I wanted to have a meal left without a bite because no one cam seem to monitor remakes. Will post a picture of lobster roll. Atrocious

    One of our favorite Sunday Brunch spots! Breakfast Taco’s with tots are amazing! And everyone should try one of their famous Bloody Mary’s! Plus, we love the fact that they offer a menu for our four-legged children !

    Great food and beer menu, very nice patio dog friendly seating. Pleasant live music when we were there too.

    Food was sooooo good. Bloody Mary's were to die for. YUM 😋

    My wife and I went there and had a few appetizers. The Buffalo chicken egg rolls were good as was the spinach artichoke dip (the most likely Cisco bought food) We decided to stay and order a meal. I ordered the fish tacos, which were not very good. Melted cheese on deep fried, thick breaded fish, and then oil on the slaw was quite very heavy and not tasty (the food they actually prepared there). The tots were over salted and I could get but a few down. I didn't realize 2 fish tacos were $18 or that my wife's Philly cheese steak sandwich with vegetables was $19. Her sandwich was ok (again something they prepared, not just bought), and for $19 I would expect outstanding! Service, however, was excellent.

    Townies is always consistent and the food was good last night. We had the Cheesecurds for an App, they use a little garlic seasoning on these that is really good. My wife had the lobster roll, and I had the Pesto Salmon. We both enjoyed our meals and our server was the highlight of the experience. Super nice and kept it fun!

    Fantastic service and food selection. Wish the beer list was more diversified. Jagersnitzel and Spaetzel was incredible, don't be afraid to try something new! Tots we're fantastic and crispy. We shared the avocado salad which was quite tasty as well, loved the dressing on the side.

    It was louder than normal with Trivia going on at 7 pm, but the food was delicious, I got lobster Rangoon stuffed salmon. Yum!

  • 5/5 David Vande V. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice place to grab a drink, can't say much about the food as I didn't eat here, but I had a raspberry mimosa and it was really tasty, wouldn't mind stopping in again in the future to grab another the next time I'm in the area and maybe trying some of the food 😉

    Eat here! Great food, friendly service. We had the Bruschetta burger and the Foul-Mouth Philly. Perfect. And try the coleslaw. Not too sweet with a touch of horseradish. It's pretty good.

    First time there food was delicious and live music was on point

    This restaurant has been one of my favs recently! I have been here three times in the last 2 months! I have lived in central WI my entire life and I am finally getting to this place!! We enjoyed a beautiful dinner of New Year’s Eve and had the Lobster Stuffed Salmon, which was incredible! The drinks were great, food was excellent and friendly service! I have recommended to so many people since eating here!

  • 5/5 Danielle P. 1 year ago on Google
    Wow! Had a great time. Everyone was friendly and the food was great. Drinks were good too. I highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Gus V. 2 years ago on Google
    Oh My Bloody Mary, and the appetizers are to die for ranch cheese curds, wurstbrats, the nachos are all a must have. We will be back again.

  • 2/5 Lindsey P. 2 years ago on Google
    Over priced and not that great tasting. Service was good. Buffalo spring roll tasted just of buffalo sauce and cabbage. Swiss burger was oddly sweet. Pot roast taco had brussel sprout and nothing like pot roast would have other then beef. Do not recommend.

  • 5/5 chris b. 2 years ago on Google
    Very good food, with quite friendly service. Delicious fried fish with a light batter made with stout, rather than beer, made for a very tasty change from the usual. The baked cod was very flavorfully prepared as well. Delicious Irish Coffee.

    We stopped by during the chalkfest. So it was really busy. We only stopped for drinks but they came out quick considering how busy it was & my huckleberry Margarita was amazing!!
