Three of us came here for an early dinner enroute to a show at the Raue. We were seated promptly, but then waited for a waitress to appear. Our dinners were served 25 minutes after our order was taken (three other tables occupied and six people on bar stools, so it wasn't crowded) After waiting for our waitress to return with drinks, I sent my burger back because of the predominant pink inside.(I had ordered well done). When my burger was returned 1/2 hour later, (no wait staff in sight) my friend was done eating, and my husband could not eat his tough tasteless chicken wings and was sitting waiting to order something else. We flagged the waitress at a table behind us who said she would help "in a minute" but she apparently forgot us and went to the bar. To Finn McCool's credit, they comped my burger and got my husband chili, but the three of us ate at different times. I had recommended Finn's because of parties I had attended there, but we won't be returning and I won't be recommending it.

In the mood for chicken. Went to BWW for wings and beers. Started with the House Sampler. Nachos, Mozzarella Sticks, Onion Rings and Bones Wings with dipping sauces. Excellent but huge. Shares 14 traditional winds with garlic parmesan and mild buffalo sauce on side. Couple Ultras an their Sangria Special. Server was really attentive.

We went here for dinner and drinks with friends on St Patrick's Day. Standard beer list with some craft beer options and good prices. The food menu offers a large assortment of appetizer, burgers and sandwiches. Service was slow but it was a busy holiday. The ambiance is comfortable. Will return!
6. Wings Etc.

Haven't been here in about a year. Brought the wife. Little more intimate than BWW. Lots of TV's. Had preseason football. They now have the slots as you walk in. Had a dozen regular wings with teriyaki and dozen boneless with BBQ. Really Good. Fantastic Loaded Tator Tots with melted cheese, bacon bits and green onions. Washed it down with a couple rounds of Mic Ultras. Still a nice place to go.

A far cry from what other reviewers called a "Wisconsin Supper Club". This place is just a local bar with the old stale beer smell wafting throughout the place. No atmosphere other than bar stools around a non descript bar and tables scattered for dining. Can't tell you about the food as we went for dinner on a Sunday night, only to be told they don't serve food on Sunday nights. We were glad to move on.

We decided to stop in for some BBQ and we were disappointed. Ty he food was just so so. The restaurant was not busy at all. It was a week night though. We won't be going back.

Always love the Presidente Margaritas. Got one then switched to the Tito's Punch. Great drink. Started out with the Chips and Salsa and Spinach Queso Appetizer. Fantastic. Tried some new things. Mango-Chile Chicken with Rice and Broccoli was great. Santa Fe Salad w/Grilled Chicken was delish. Other meals were the Cheese Quesadillas, Bacon Burger and the Oldtimer. All were great as usual. Assorted ice teas and diet coke. Elizabeth was a very attentive and engaging server.

We have been going for years. Very extensive menu. Plenty of variety. The food is quite good. We had the fish and chips special for lunch and it was a huge portion and delicious. Our server was very attentive and friendly. A good casual dining spot that is always reliable.

The asparagus soup was very spicy. I liked it but be prepared. The beet salad was very good with lots of variety, small amount of lettuce. Had salmon on the salad and it was fine- nothing special. Other couple liked their burger which was mixed with mushroom to make it more sustainable. Reasonable prices for very good food.
