I come here sometimes and everytime I'm served quickly and feel seen as a person instead of a customer, they ask about my day and my life and they listen! Food is absolutely outstanding!you can joke around and have fun! Can't wait to be back!

Laid back sportsbar, with a great menu and a wide selection of draughts.
Good barfood, cooked in an open kitchen.
Owner attended, which ensures great service and excellent meals.

Stopped here with my family after a youth baseball tournament. Upon arriving, we waited 10 minutes before a server brought us menus. It wasn’t very busy, but there were a couple of other tables. After dropping off the menus, the server walked away and waited another 5 minutes standing behind the bar on her phone before getting our drink orders. After we put in our food order and got our food, our server didn’t check in with us until we were almost finished. My wife wanted to get a side of mayo for her chicken sandwich but never got the opportunity to ask. During this time, the server was standing behind the bar on her phone, talking to the other server and what I assume was her friends sitting in the barstools. It felt like we were ignored and not welcome to be there during that time. The food was alright. The fries were a little cold, but the main entrees were good. Don’t think I will bring my family here again, nor would I recommend this place to any of my friends. Unless you enjoy being ignored, don’t dine here!

I might have just discovered what my last meal was if I was on death row.

- Start with the deep fried pickles.
- 12 bone in wings ( 6 Boom Boom, 6 Spicy Garlic)
- Beer battered fries.
- End with a soft pretzel with their Buffalo beer cheese dip.
-Consume Miller High Life throughout.

Go to Burger King...seriously...food isn't cooked to order and if you want another beverage you have to go up to the bar 15 minutes after you ask for it...servers are higher than a kite in San Francisco and never check up on you. ...flag down another waitress..we had to...and then when they say they'll take something off your bill, they try to give a $5 discount on a $13 meal that had one bite taken out of it...after saying they'd take the whole thing off in the first place...this place is for college kids who are too drunk to notice garbage food and service...like I said..just go to Burger King...

Called in an order, waitress messed up and rang in multiple orders of the same food. We didn’t realize until we got home looking at all the food and receipt. Called in to see if we could get a refund, manager was on cooking duty, waited on hold for 12 minutes, he said you “can’t call back 20 minutes later and expect a refund”. We offered to bring back the food we didn’t order, he said he can’t use the food so there is nothing he could do. Extremely disappointing. We were reoccurring customers. Definitely won’t be back. Food is also just overpriced, premade frozen that they throw in the deep fryer for 5 minutes.

Food was good waitress was good but the owner was completely drunk and was just staring at me and 2 other people punching the table and would walk by us and purposely bump into us then would say stuff under his breath. He would then continue looking at us punching the table and shake his head. Bar tender would tell him to stop and he would continue to do it. Owner is a drunk and lost costumers that night

I ordered boneless wings and cheese curds and seasoned fries. Everything was overly salty, including my waitress. When I said something about not liking the food, when. I had eaten only 1 wing and half the fries, she just looked at me and said..."oh I'll let the kitchen know!"

The indeffeence showed by the waitstaff and....holy salty cheese curds
...was below sub par. Needless to say with that kind of service there is no way I will not be returning to this establishment again.

I'll give it 2 stars for the atmosphere and the great waitress. The chicken sandwiches were way, way over cooked and hard to chew. For the price make homemade chips not chips from a bag.

First time visiting this restaurant. Menus stuck to the table, asked about beers, was told they were out of all ipas. Specifically asked about one of the taps, was told by, Cynthia C., our server, it was a dark beer and there were no bottle ipas. Therefore, I ordered a premium spirit drink that cost more. After serving the drink, she told me the beer I asked about was an iPa. So basically was charged for something I didn't even want. (Was never offered it as a replacement or given any apology.) Next, we ordered burgers and fries. Upon food being dropped to table, we were told there is no ketchup. (Mind you, there's places within sight that someone could have gone and bought a bottle of ketchup from.) We were offered bbq as a replacement. When given the check, there was a $3 charge for bbq! I asked about this and was told we ordered it, instead of it being offered to us as a free ketchup replacement.

I never leave Google reviews. However, I am hoping management will see this review to better train their employees, like Cynthia C, to not be incompetent and unprepared when working at a nearly empty restaurant. And so they are better prepared. How does a bar and grill run out of ketchup? It's laughable. Overall food was ok. Not great. Cleanliness and service were not up to basic dive bar standards. Will not be returning.

The wings were cooked to perfection and delicious sauce was minimal. Service was ok though someone from kitchen had issues with me ordering extra dipping sauce which I was willing to pay the $.75 per.

So, I hope I don't get anyone in trouble with this but I gotta say I was surprised at my visit. Never ever have I been approached by the actual cook for a restaurant. To keep things short and simple, I requested a "specialty" burger, WITH ONE EXTRA INGREDIENT...... beer cheese. Honestly I'm a chef myself and the simple factor that not only did our waitress come back twice to question me adding..... Beer cheese...... But I had the actual cook come out. It seemed to be such a simple of a request and it embarrassed not only me, but my entire party.... After I explained to the cook what I wanted he looked me dead in the face, and said "that's weird, I'll put your BBQ on the side".... Never have I ever been confronted by a cook to question what I... As a paying customer.... Desires. Bottom line, I took two bites of my burger and took it home to make it the way I asked for..... Also the Mrs. Was completely unsatisfied with her chicken sandwich, which technically she ordered with a flavor she didn't like, so that's on her. Please, improve your customer service. Because there were several things that I'm not including in this. Talk to your staff, tell them to act professional, and also.... Tell them... If a customer askers for their burger thier paying for a specific way..... You make it....

Bottom line, embarrassing and an establishment that i will never return too.

Typical bar food at reasonable price. Burgers, wraps, sandwiches along with a variety of fries. Good appetizers especially the pretzel. Regular size is large enough for 3 to share. Very light and yet soft. Variety of dipping sauces. Street parking at no cost, in downtown whitewater, staffed by college students, service was good, wood tables are sticky no matter how much they wiped them. We got here at 6pm on a Friday and we’re able to be seated right away. Grilled chicken sandwich was a very small piece of meat that looked like a chicken nugget inside the bun. There was at least an inch of bun on all sides. Burgers were cooked to order and good. As always service always makes or breaks a restaurant for me and the college students were working hard and trying to serve well in spite of being short staffed.

Came here with my family to send my brother off to college. It wasn’t busy when we arrived, and never got very busy while we were there. We never received any refills, nor were we checked on during any point of our meal. Waitress was standing behind the bar laughing rather than doing her job. Food quality was meh and my food was cold.
