Looked for a place to eat after trip to Holy Hill after craft show. So happy we went a little bit away from all the traffic. What a wonderful brunch menu. Had a hard time deciding. Had a vege scramble super good. I do want to try the Potine. It sounded wonderful but sounded like it would be great chased with a beer but I was driving. Highly recommend, take the very easy exit from highway and try this place out. We are so glad we found it and would be a good planned stop on way to Milwaukee or Chicago. Thanks so much for your kind words. We hope to serve you again soon!

The ribs are the best! Literally fall of the bone and very good BBQ sauce. Great fish fry too and shrimp too. Love the combo platters they offer. Prices are extremely fair. Oh, and don't forget the delicious homemade desserts! Always have good experience here. Just be sure to make a reservation, especially on a Fri or Sat night. It's a very small restaurant and also very popular so it fills up fast.

We met some friends from Jackson at Jugg's this past Sat. for a early dinner. We arrived around 5 and they were quit busy but we were seated right away. Drinks ordered we started to look over their menu. I had the 4 piece chicken and the others had burgers. With the dinner I also received soup or salad. I chose the chile and if I would of had some fresh baked bread and a large bowl of soup I could of made a meal of that. It was delicious. Everyone else loved their burgers and fries and all needed a doggie box to take home and some of my chicken also made the trip home. The entire staff was very pleasant as is the entire restaurant. By 6:30 the place was very busy and their were people waiting. Our friends had never been to Jugg's so we will be returning when the patio is open with the waterfall running. When your in the area be sure to stop for just a drink or a meal. Check their daily specials.

Outstanding food, stellar service. Great steaks, great crab legs, great salad, great crab cakes, delicious desserts, wonderful cocktails. The best place to eat in West Bend and Washington County. Worth a drive, but plan to spend some $$. Always make a reservation or you likely will not get a seat.

My husband and I have been to Timmer's about 4 times in the past few years. Its popularity has grown and it is now hard to get weekend reservations several days in advance. Last weekend, we were only able to get one of two last reservation times when calling on a Thursday for Saturday evening. Earlier in May, they were completely full several days in advance also. Our late seating time relegated our party of six to the bar area that was very noisy. It was sometimes difficult to converse with our friends at our own table. Two of our chairs were strategically located on cold air vents, but we compensated by placing the menu books over the vents so we did not freeze indoors. The wait staff here is very knowledgable, helpful, and efficient. Menu has been slimmed down a bit with new ownership. Nightly specials are still offered but several of our chosen items were sold out by our 7:30 seating time. Canadian walleye is now lightly breaded instead of sauteed with almonds as in past. Other variations abound.I wish that the restaurant would utilize the large empty room to the east for weekend seating, though perhaps it's not so convenient for the servers. There is a serious capacity problem at Timmer's now, especially on Friday or Saturday evenings, so while most of our friends can only go on the weekends, I'd prefer to return on a weekday evening for a quieter, more sane setting and menu items that are still available when we choose them.Food, what was available, was very good. Servers were most accommodating, but small things like sold-out menu items, luke-warm--not hot--coffee (even after requesting a warm-up), and noisy ambiance caused the experience to be less than stellar. We had entrees at $32 and $31, & 1 dessert & coffee for $9 =$72 before tax and tip. No drinks this time. Entrees include soup or salad and a vegetable.

I had bought a voucher from Localflavor so my husband and I stopped in for lunch. What a great find! I ordered the salmon sandwich and my husband had a burger. Both were delicious. If you have the salmon I would recommend the honey vanilla dressing. It complements it well. They also have gluten free rolls. We enjoyed being able to sit in the inviting outdoor area. We will definitely be back.

The staff was very attentive and friendly. The dill baked cod was delicious. The german potato salad was excellent. Not too vinegry as some are the sauce nicely carmelized. Nice pieces of bacon browned just right the potatoes cooked just right not to firm or too soft. The red cabbage was cooked very nice as eell. Not too soft or too hard but am dente. The fish was covered with lemon sliced with fresh sprigs of dill. There was ample butter for dipping the fish into. The clam chowder was obviously home made. A deep cream color not all white and pale. I could taste the bacon in it. All true quality clam chowder should have bacon or salt pork in it. There was ample clams and the potatoes were cooked just right. The fish fry my husband had was very good as well 4 pieces of fish thinly battered. With a bake potato. The come slaw was tasty. The rye bread and dinner rolls were warm and fresh. The rye was a nice german marble rye. The fish was flaky and flavorful. The waitress liked my tattoos. I was a little self conscious because I had a lip lift a day earlier and I looked like I had a bloody nose. She said well next time I want to see your smile. They were busy but moved people through quite promptly. We will be back again. I had been there several years earlier and the German nachos were excellent. I had also tried the Sauer Braten. Being of German heritage to eat food my mother used to cook was a real treat. I look forward to trying the schnitzel.Thank you Smartiecook for your excellent review. How incredibly flattering of you to make positive note of our relaxed environment, delicious food, and amazing staff. We strive to keep great customers like you coming back again. Thanks for your recommendation, Smartiecook!!

My family and I gave this place a try tonight after checking trip advisor reviews. Place has HUGE menu with many options. The fish fry was of nice proportions and the sides tasted great. My husband said the fish fry was among his top 3 that he has ever had. My son and I each had a burger and we were very satisfied. Just wish they offered different beer flight options. Our waitress was very nice and gave great recommendations. But oddly, waitresses around us seemed unhappy with one another or something. They'd talk near our table and then leave, passing our table saying something disgruntled under their breaths.

We went as a couple for our anniversary in April 2019. It is a cute place. Our waitress was very nice and attentive. The food was very average, especially for the price. My steak was served WELL instead of medium. My husbands steak was services MED-WELL instead of medium rare. However they were fairly high quality steaks so they were still tasty. They gave us a free dessert for the inconvenience and did offer to prepare a new steak, however we didn't want to wait. We might try it again b/c of the customer service.

Went here after dinner for drinks and delighted to find it was like open mic night for local talent. Several quite good musicians, predominately on guitar. Only gripe was the ran out of Spotted Cow - shame on you!Would come back for this experience or try dinner next time.
