I had high hopes for The Freighthouse, given its 4.6 ⭐️ reputation and the unique setting, but unfortunately my experience didn’t live up to the expectations.
I ordered the 20oz Porterhouse, cooked medium-rare. While it was prepared to the correct temperature, it had absolutely no flavor. For a steakhouse of this caliber, seasoning and flavor should be the highlight, and this was deeply disappointing. I paired it with a baked potato, which honestly ended up being the best part of the meal — simple, but actually enjoyable.
On the positive side, our server Kristen (or Kirsten) was excellent. She was friendly, attentive, and clearly did her best to make the evening pleasant. Service was not the issue here.
The atmosphere seemed like it had potential with the historic building, but the dining room was noticeably smokey/hazy, which made it hard to relax and enjoy the meal.
Overall, this visit fell short. For the price point and the reputation, I expected much better. Good service can’t make up for bland food and a less-than-comfortable dining environment.

Just average in my opinion. They were busy the dining room was full especially for a Tuesday. It was hard to have a conversation. The tables are too close together. The porterhouse steak was ordered medium it was served rare and was not seasoned. The halibut was a little better. I expected a better experience from this established restaurant.

Small sirloin, scallops appetizer and small sirloin with shrimp were had by our group. The steaks were tender and flavorful. The scallops were tantalizing and the shrimp were delicious. The service was top notch. We had steamed vegetables as our side, those could have used some seasoning. The summer salad was refreshing and the salad bar had a lot of topping choices with fresh greens. Will go again if ww are back in the area. They do need to refresh their online menu. The prices are higher than printed online and the menu is smaller than the one posted online. We will go there again if we are in the area.

Horrible experience here and worse knowing the severe rat problem they have. They have a motion-detected rodent deterrent that goes off CONSTANTLY day and night. Total nuisance to all those who live nearby as it is insanely loud. Guests hear it on arrival. Why would anyone want to eat at a place with such a blatant rodent problem?

We stopped around 5:30 Friday and were pleased to be seated right away. We split the 20 oz Prime Rib. It must have been 3"- 3 1/4" It was tender and full of flavor. Service was outstanding, thanks to Ryan. We had a very nice dinner here. Would recommend without hesitation! 5 stars and well deserved.

Long day, and we arrived late and near closing. They were kind enough to accept us in but we nearly left when no one came to our table for the first five minutes.
My wife had a great piece of salmon with a buttery dipping sauce and I ordered a small sirloin steak with steamed veggies. There was absolutely no seasoning on my food..at all. It came out hot but that’s all I appreciated about it. Pretty expensive for what I received.
I very much liked the atmosphere. I enjoy history and it was neat being in the old train station.

We were seated, not busy. But took forever for the server to come to us. Kinda dark in there. Could use more lighting . I ordered blackened Salmon. Presentation of food was nice. Salmon alittle over cooked. Lacked seasoning. Kinda dry. Gnats flying around too. First time here from out of town. Not pleased with service. Food not horrible. Food Was nice and hot which was good. Overall a 3 out of 5.

Always a great experience. Whenever my husband and I visit La Crosse we make The Freight house a priority. I love their tenderloin, always melt in my mouth delicious and done to perfection. A very nice salad bar or seasonal salad option. The drinks at the bar are always first class! Highly recommend for a fine but casual dining experience.

I am a repeat customer. I always thought that the food could not be better. I was wrong the filet was wonderful and the prime rib was beyond perfect and was so big I tried to get a photo but couldn’t get it to fit. Service was super and atmosphere excellent. I was disappointed in the bar a poor selection of martinis and the bartender was apparently new with little help. Not great. But you should note that the restaurant was so good as to overcome that and still rate a five. Best prime rib ever

Cute place with a great atmosphere. Very cozy and intimate feeling. Stopped in for dinner on a Monday night at around 7:15pm - got seated quickly in a comfy two person booth on the corner.
Wine was great and priced affordably. Service was prompt and courteous, although slightly awkward - we were asked about dessert just as our entrees arrived and then asked again after we had 2 bites down.
Both of us had steaks; the peppercorn strip was overcooked, tough and underseasoned. Filet was cooked perfectly but woefully underseasoned. The side of asparagus was cooked very poorly - wilty tops and woody stems. Not worth the up charge.
I’m sure the place has its moments but it feels like charm is the leading quality here. The food wasn’t too remarkable. Especially when the total before tip was $130 for two steaks and a few glasses of wine.

Freighthouse is a LaCross standard. Steaks are big and very flavorful, salad bar and seasonal salads are always fresh, and the seafood is also excellentt. I got 12 oz. prime rib this time (although my actual steak was more like 24 oz.). It was cooked exactly medium as ordered. I paired it with a local Spotted Cow draft and it was hard to beat. My dinner guest got the grilled cold water lobster tail and it was perfect. Our server was super attentive and did a great job as well. I highly recommend!

Food is good but their staff won't sit you even if the entire dining room is empty and tables are available because "those are the rules". So if you are a table for 1. Plan to wait for a minimum of an hour since they won't take reservations for groups less than 10. They lack enough tables for small groups but have tables for large groups (4) that they won't sit you at. If you have time to burn and want to wait an hour, the food is pricey but is okay. Honestly there are many other restaurants in the area that will treat guests better even though the food quality is decent. Maybe management can revisit their "rules" and seat people more efficiently.

My husband ate here back in the 90s with a group for a conference. He came home raving about it. We both had the opportunity to dine here while visiting family in Wisconsin last night. The Freight House did not disappoint after all these years. Very few restaurants are able to uphold that reputation, especially in the food industry today. It is your CLASSIC supper club from the decor to the ambiant lighting and is timeless. Ryan, our server, told us he has been employed with them since 1992, and it showed. He genuinely cared about the service we received and was absolutely top notch. He checked in with us just the right amount of times and chatted long enough to hear of our past and present visit to the restaurant. He came out after our dinner with a huge piece of excellent grasshopper pie (free of charge, but we would have been happy to have purchased).
My husband had the prime rib, and it was perfect. I had the 5oz tenderloin, also perfect. Great salad bar, great rice pilaf, GREAT old fashion! Thank you, Freight House owners and staff, for your dedication to this establishment. Great visit!! Keep up the good work.

Went for a family reunion dinner gathering as an early Father’s Day celebration because one family member suggested it. Probably considered one of the higher-end restaurants in La Crosse area. Ambience and decor was dark, not warm or inviting. Plenty of parking and not a very long wait to get it, although we did have a reservation. Food presentation was decent but the quality left much to be desired. I ordered the Sirloin steak and Scallops combo—the scallops were fine, but the steak was dry and extremely tough because it was overcooked (I had requested medium well) and probably sitting for a bit. Another family had their filet undercooked. The worse part was the asparagus—they were nice and tender, perfectly cooked but had grains of sand so clearly were not washed or rinsed thoroughly. This wasn’t just one spear that had sand grains but every spear on my plate and especially at the heads of the spears. Another family member had the same issue with their asparagus so whoever cooked the batch must have been in a hurry. This is an absolute disappointment for a higher-end restaurant for something so basic.
The only reason this wasn’t rated one star was because of the good service of the waitress. Our server was very friendly and even though there were 9 of us which we assumed would automatically result in the 20% tip being added to the check, that did not happen. We of course made sure to tip her well. Frankly all their staff were very friendly. Unfortunately the food quality will deter me from returning the next time I am in town.

Dinner felt rushed. The atmosphere felt like "fast food." Each course came while we were in the middle of the previous course. The lettuce in the caesar salad was crisp. The salad was the best part of the meal. The halibut was overcooked and dry. The prime rib was fatty and way too big. The experience was disappointing although the dining room was full at 5:30. I won't be going there again.

Had the prime rib and i was disappointed it.Come to the table and it was huge.I thought all right this looks great. Then I started to cut meat, was tough.Mention to the waiter. He asked me if I wanted. another piece but didn't want to waste what I had so I went with it. And the flavor just wasn't there. I will give it another chance, but will not have prime rib. Dan Owens.

Heard many good things about this place, and it was my first time. Unfortunately I was very disappointed in the service and the quality of the food. First, we ordered drinks from the bar. Drinks were week and some of us were missing the garnishes. We also had a different time trying to get a second drink, so most of us skipped it. Me and 2 other people at our table ordered the Prime Rib. It was so tough that none of us could hardly cut through it with a knife. The Prime Rib looked baked instead of roasted, which any chef knows makes a big difference. And there are different grades of beef, with Aged Prime being the best, next is Prime, then Choice, and last is Select. And each grade has different levels. The Prime Rib I had was a low level of Select Beef. Now I am not trying to bash this place in any way, and it's been around for a long time and must have been doing something great to be around so long, so I am definitely willing to give it another try and I am hoping this review helps to improve the service, the quality of the food and how it's prepared. Oh one more thing, everyone reading this is probably wondering why I didn't send my Prime Rib back and maybe get something else from the menu. Well! When our waiter seen us struggling to cut into the Prime Rib he looked at us and totally avoided us.

January 2025:
Stopped by for a team dinner. First time here so I asked the waiter for a recommendation. He suggested the prime rib which sounded good to me.
You start by going to the salad 🥗 bar which had a lot of options. When my entree came, I was amazed at the size of the beef. I ordered a medium rare cut but it came out closer to rare. I didn't send it back because I was okay eating it.
Service was friendly and attentive. Great place to eat in La Crosse.

We ordered prime rib and crab legs, man was it delicious. We lucked out due to arriving a bit later and our food portions were huge, the biggest piece of Prime Rib we've ever had. Needles to say, we had a lot of leftover meat, which fed us the following night. Money well spent and totally worth it.

A very nice place to eat, albeit with some issues (for me). 1. They take no reservations so you'll either need to plan to eat early, or late, or show up at 5 something and wait - there are not a lot of tables, and only a few for two people.
2. While there are tables in the bar area where you can wait, don't think you can eat there either- unless you want an appetizer because that's all you can order there.
3. With the menu on the expensive side, I expected really great food - especially the prime rib which they caution could run out. My date and I arrived at 7 ish and waited about 15-20 minutes to be seated. She had lobster, (it was good). I had the prime rib, which was way worse than I expected. I ordered medium rare, expecting uniform pink. I received a piece that was half medium (in the round area) and half rare (in the tail area). Seriously- no medium rare anywhere. I called attention to the discrepancy and the waitress promptly took it back to "resolve it". A few minutes later and I received the same piece of meat that had been put on to the grill for a minute to cook the outside of it more. So the medium part was now really overcooked, and the rare part was, well, rare with a medium outer layer. Oh, and perhaps it was a dull knife (though I tried both), I had a heck of a time to cut it. Flavor was OK as long as I used the au jus.

For the price (or any price), the food was consistently poor quality. Three $45 filets with no flavor, cooked well-done. Scallops in two separate side dishes were overcooked as to be chewy and flavorless. The scallops were served in a butter sauce mixed with green peppers so I tasted green peppers instead of scallop. I can't imagine why anyone would put green peppers in with scallops unless to mask the taste?
Prime rib served was excellent, baked potato was good. Silver lining from an otherwise poor showing from a steakhouse.

I came here not knowing what to expect and ended up with a great experience. I originally wanted to sit at the bar since I was by myself but it was pretty full. I went back to the host and told him I changed my mind and would like a table and he sat me at the honeymoon table because it was the only the smallest table available at the time. Mind you it was just me but this has to be the best seat in the restaurant. I enjoyed a nice filet, baked potato and a salad bar! Yes, a salad bar. This along with the kind server, host and meal made this a must the next time I’m in Lacrosse.

I visited the Freighthouse for my birthday, and overall, it was a nice experience. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the service was excellent—our server was friendly and attentive. I especially appreciated the thoughtful touch of a birthday treat: the grasshopper pie was delicious and a wonderful surprise!
However, I was disappointed with the steak. For the price, I expected it to be more flavorful and tender. While everything else was well done, the steak didn’t quite meet my expectations. I’d love to come back if the steak quality improves, as there’s a lot to like about this place.

Not worth it. - This was my review from an evening over 5 years ago. I have since recanted that opinion. I've since become a regular and absolutely love the Freighthouse. The last ten to twenty times I've gone have been absolutely excellent. I recommend all visitors to make a stop for some crab, steak, and the drinks.

While visiting La Crosse, I waited several hours to order from this restaurant as they have a late opening time only to be told that they would not be doing to go orders. As I am not from the area and had my dog with me dining in wasn’t an option. The hostess I spoke with became extremely rude and unfriendly on the phone when I questioned if I would be able to come in and order (rather than ordering over the phone) and take the food to go so it wouldn’t back up the kitchen. Based on the service experience I would never attempt to dine here again and will be recommending that others I know skip this restaurant while in this area as well.

Excellent non muddled old fashioned at the bar. Fantastic salad bar with a few dressings made in house. One of the best prime ribs we’ve had with acorn squash & a brown butter sauce. Sirloin teriyaki with baked potato - also delicious & tender. Ended with Oreo ice cream cake. Great food, excellent service!

We had a party of 9. We waited almost 1 1/2 hours for our food. Prime rib was good but all other steaks were overcooked and cold. They wouldn’t refund me on the meal. Compensation was a slice of cheesecake. Won’t go back. Get Big Al’s Pizza instead!

Wonderful service. love that it has a salad bar! The chef said our steaks were not done to his liking, so he said, eat them up and we will send two more home with you! The first ones looked great to us!

A staple to the dining scene in LA Crosse. Our server Ryan was absolutely in tune with our large parties needs and was there whenever needed. Food offerings are very straightforward but also executed well. Our family were very happy guests when were done.

This place is one of our favorite places to eat! The food always tastes great and the portion size is more than sufficient. On a weekend it gets really busy and there may be a wait for a table but we don't mind waiting because the atmosphere is never dull in the bar.

Delicious!! Everything was delicious. The salad, the bread, the Prime Rib, the Crab Legs. I didn't have enough room for dessert, but I'm sure that would've been delicious too. We had a large party and took up 2 large extended tables. The server did a great job managing the party. Kept water refilled. Checked on us throughout. Made sure we had everything we needed. 10 outta 10

This truly is an old freighthouse that's been remodeled yet retaining the original features of wood and brick. Photos of its past hang on the walls. Excellent food. We try to eat here when we're in the area. Steaks and prime rib are the best. Salads and salad bar are really fresh. Staff are very pleasant and well-trained. Makenzie was our server and very helpful.

I drove 4 hours to get here by 8:30 when they close at 9 and they wouldn't serve me saying their cook had already left. Pretty bummed out.

Another gem in La Crosse that was the perfect dinner spot. The drinks and food did not disappoint, and the atmosphere was creative. When I told my waitress I was a vegetarian, she quickly provided options. Cool spot to visit close to the river. Two thumbs up 👍🏾 👍🏾!

Excellent food, atmosphere, and service. Our server was Sydney, what a delightful young lady. Didn't miss a beat when taking our order, clearing dishes, and checking to see if we needed anything else. We drive a 100 miles every year to dine here. So good!

This place is fantastic!
Awesome food, our server Lexi was the best and it's a beautiful historic building.
The prices were great, it's a steakhouse so it's not cheap, but you get a lot of food for the price!
We all ordered steak, 8oz fillet, which came with a 1 trip to the salad bar or side salad and then another side. (We had seasonal veggies, wild rice abd a loaded baked potato in our order) And as a treat we each got a different dessert so we could try all 3.
Everything was so good!!
The quadruple chocolate mousse pie was awesome! Seriously, if you love chocolate, get it!! (Even though it's The Bane of Lexi's existence, but we don't hold it against her! Lol Hi Lexi!! Thank you!)

Steak and potato came out cold and flavorless, no salt or pepper on table, odd smells are different in dinning room. Service was slow and forgot to get us our wine list. When we got it wine was tasty. This place is overpriced for steak that was not high quality. This place is like going back to the 80s in every way possible

The Freighthouse Restaurant in La Crosse, Wisconsin, is a great spot for a memorable meal. The steaks and seafood are delicious, and the historic setting adds a unique touch to the experience. The service is generally good, though it can sometimes be a bit slow on busy nights. The ambiance, with its original freight station architecture, is cozy and charming. Overall, it's a solid choice for a nice dinner, though a few minor tweaks could elevate it to a 5-star experience. I'd rate it 4 out of 5 and recommend it for anyone looking for a quality dining option in La Crosse.

It's a supper club so be prepared to wait but...it is 150% worth the time.
The food quality, taste, presentation, and quantity are phenomenal.
Staff are great.
Not sure who runs this place but they have their eye on every corner to make sure things are done right!

I have been to Freight House many times. It is a great place for any special occasion or to bring a group. You will not be disappointed taking any business associates to Freight House. If any bad experience give it another try.
