My wife, mother and 13 year old daughter attended a murder mystery dinner at the Hilton Double Tree…read moreon 11/02/24. When we arrived I ordered a round of drinks. The bartender, Lisa, asked if I wanted to keep the tab open so that if I wanted to step out during the show and order another round the sale would be expedited so I would not miss much. I told her yes and allowed her to hold onto my credit card. I went to the bar and ordered a 2nd round of drinks during intermission and returned to the show. When the show concluded we left immediately since my elderly mother was not used to being out so late. It was not until I arrived back home that I realized I had left my credit card at the bar. The next morning I called the hotel and they told me they had my card in the lobby and to stop by anytime. I drove there and approached the hotel lobby employee sheepishly and explained. She was very nice and told me that it happens all the time. There was a receipt wrapped around my card totaling $109.72. I added a tip of $10.00 and left. When I arrived home my wife, who is good with numbers, took a look at the receipt. She asked me why I left a tip when Lisa the bartender had already given herself a tip of $18.26. I was confused and took a closer look at the receipt. The drink total was $83.00 + $8.46 tax + a credit convenience fee $2.74 + the self-added tip of $18.26 totaling $109.72 not including the tip I had left on tip of the tip Lisa had automatically given herself. Grand total of $122.46. Keep in mind that of the 8 drinks I had ordered, 2 were cherry cokes for the 13 year old. Flustered, I called and spoke with an employee by the name of Sue (11-03-24). She seemed perplexed that Lisa had automatically tipped herself and said that was NOT the normal practice and that she would pass it on to the food and beverage manager and it would be remedied. She took all of my information and I went about my day. I kept an eye on my records and by 11-08-24 nothing had been done. I called back and spoke with Sue who seemed a little annoyed with me. She told me that she had already passed the information on to the food and beverage manager, that she would pass it on yet again AND that it usually took 3-5 business days before I would see an adjustment. Well, by 11-20-24 (18 days later) nothing had been done. We have contacted our credit card company to contest the $18.26 out of principal. I am writing this more as a public service announcement. I realized I've been naive and this falls on me for not looking at my receipt. This being said, I do feel that the self-added tip was dishonest and that I was taken advantage of to a degree. Eric S

The atmosphere was good, nice booths by the bar and a separate more quiet area in back. The bar looks good. I spoke to the bartender, he was very nice and friendly. We went around 4:30 on a Sunday so it was pretty quiet. Looks like a really fun neighborhood bar. Pull tabs, some electronic games, darts,pinball but only a few at the front so if you're in the back you might not hear the noise. Also saw a sign for karaoke on Thursday! We will be back for the food!!!!!!

My boyfriend ordered a burger too and asked for a medium-done burger and it was well done like a hockey puck. He mentioned something to the waitress after he ate half of it. He said he was so hungry so he ate some. I then tried a bite because I thought he was just being high-maintenance and I felt really bad about what he got served. It was awful. We would not come back. The service is slow the customer service is lacking. We had to ask twice to get a certain game on the screen. It was just an overall not-good experience.

I've given this place multiple chances over the years, usually when going out with friends, but…read moreunfortunately I've never had a truly good meal here. At best, the food has been just okay--and I likely wouldn't choose it myself. My most recent visit summed up my experience. I ordered a club sandwich, expecting the usual cold ingredients (meat, cheese, lettuce, tomato) on toasted bread. Instead, everything was warm, as if the entire sandwich had been assembled and thrown on the flat top. Warm lettuce and tomato are not appetizing, and the melted cheese didn't help. I took two bites and couldn't continue. The server never checked in to ask how the food was, so I didn't mention it and still paid for the meal. Beyond the food, the cleanliness is concerning. The women's bathroom is consistently dirty, and one of the toilets is noticeably out of place. On our last visit, we also saw something dripping from the ceiling near the bar, which was off-putting. The atmosphere doesn't quite match a casual dining experience either--the music is so loud and club-like that it feels out of place, almost like you should expect people dancing on the bar. Overall, I've tried to give this place the benefit of the doubt, but the repeated issues with food quality, cleanliness, and atmosphere make it hard to recommend.

Looking at the picture we knew we had to give it try. What cool comfortable place with lots of history behind the building. The owner served us lunch and provided a history behind the restaurant, the recipes and where they get their food products. Their bread is local and their meat is from Usinger's in Milwaukee, WI. I love that place and their products. Well let's get onto the food. I was brave and had the Smoked Liverwurst. Hadn't had it for 30 years. Since I went fishing with my grandfather. Boy it was awesome and brought back some memories. The owner gave me large slices of bread so I could make a sandwich. The mustard and fresh onions made it! My two colleagues were craving hot dogs, so they went with the Yoerg Sandwich. It's the flagship sandwich. A quartier pound dog with German cheese and a pickle spear. It was huge and tasty to say the least. It was only $9.95. Great price for lunch these days. We also had to share a pretzel that came with cheese and mustard. This has earned a spot on our lunch rotation.

We got there at 4 PM and had about a 20 minute wait, which wasn't bad at all. When we left, I swear there were more people waiting outside than there were seated inside the restaurant. The process of getting our table was great (they definitely know what their doing) and our server was amazing, but if you're planning to go on a Friday night during fish fry season, be prepared for a wait. It was $20 for all-you-can-eat fish, but the portion sizes were pretty big to begin with, so we didn't order any extras. For sides, you could choose between fries or a baked potato, and for an extra charge, you could get au gratin potatoes. The fish was good, but the crispness level was lacking on both the fish and the fries--that's why I'm giving it 3 stars. Parking is a bit chaotic. You'll probably end up parking on a side street and walking a little bit. I will say they have a gorgeous patio! It wasn't open for dinner but the tables were all out so we could sit there with our drinks while we waiting for our table which was a nice bonus on a 70 degree day. Glad we tried a new place and happy fish fry season!
