I saw Brazen Head Pub post on social media that for four days only they were serving a special…read moreburger called The Garfield, which was a piece of deep fried lasagna on a burger with mozzarella, marinara, and buns toasted like garlic bread. Both my older son and I thought this sounded amazing so we stopped in on a Friday night to try it. We both got fries for our side. The burger was great as expected. Breading and deep frying the lasagna helped prevent it from being a mess and they added enough marinara to give it flavor without overpowering anything. The fries were lightly salted, but were otherwise just boring, plain potato. Apparently 6pm on a Friday is a horrible time to visit Brazen Head Pub if you want to be seated in a reasonable timeframe. My son and I stood there for at least 20 minutes watching a table that was done eating and the gentleman and his credit card in hand, ready to pay if someone would ever stop and give him his bill. While this was going on, another couple at the bar finished their food and sat there for at least 10 minutes waiting for their check. It's almost as if the employees had no desire to turnover tables even with a line at the door including and behind us. There were three people bartending/waiting tables so they had plenty of coverage given the smaller size of the place. At one point, closer to the end of our meal, one of the bartenders looked at my son and I and asked "are you guys good?" as he was literally walking away from us and I was holding up an empty soda glass to show him I'd like a refill. Oddly, he gave me a thumbs up and kept going. I don't even know what to make of that other than poor service. The music that was playing was excessively loud. If it was a live band, I'd get it, that's part of the show and I wouldn't complain. For random music on speakers to drown out all conversations unless you're yelling, that's dumb.

First time here. We came to taste a burger from the winner of the 2025 Wisconsin Beef…read moreAssociations, Best Burger contest. And let me just say, if you like a good burger this (may be) the place for you. It's located on Main Street in West Bend. This area has gone through a real renaissance. The fixed up the street and sidewalks, have angled parking, and the lighting a nice. It's a real treat to be able to walk in this area of small shops and businesses. No stripmalls or big box stores. Very nice city planning! Came with a couple of friends, around 11:30. The Brazen Head Pub is one of many bars and restaurants in this area. This pub is pretty typical layout. It's long and narrow, a little dark (lighting and wood), has a long bar, and then a few high top tables. There is one larger table towards the rear that holds 6 people. Since there were 3 of us, we grabbed a high-top and stole a chair from the next table. (we had 4 people, not sure what we would have done). There was only one person (John) running all the table and managing the bar, and a couple of people in the small kitchen. John (our server) got to us after a short wait. Got our drinks and order placed right away. We ordered some Cheese Nuggets (white cheddar curds) and 3 different burgers. You can either "build your own" or order the standard "Brazen Head Beer Cheese Burger". The curds came out almost instantly. They were hot, with a side of ranch. They were good (not great, a little too much breading for my tastes). We waited a bit for the biggers, but they ended up being worth the wait. All were made perfectly to order, hot, lots of flavor, and very good portions. The Brazen Head Burger was tall, but manageable. The different elements were distinct and complementary. The cheese sauce had a big of a tang. The fries were okay, but could have been hotter. While we were there, the place filled up. Lots of other small groups, some at the long bar. With the additional people it got to be pretty noisy, to the point that it was hard to have a conversation. It didn't help that there was a speaker, right over the tables, with loud music. With only one person running all the tables, after our food came out, it was difficult to get our servers attention. Extra napkins and getting our check was a challenge. The experience was mixed. Definitely a place to get an amazing burger, cooked perfectly to order. However, the noise and the service (due to their popularity) was a bit lacking. I wish them luck as they adjust to their new popularity.

I opted for the loaded fries, which were absolutely delicious. We also ordered cheese curds as an appetizer before our burgers, and they were great as well.

Their specials were great too, and I loved that you can buy a bottle of wine to go. Even better, they keep the white wines cold, which is such a thoughtful touch. We both tried the salad special. I added chicken to mine, and my friend added salmon. I probably should have gone with the salmon because hers was cooked really nicely, while my chicken was a little on the dry side. That said, the salad itself was fresh, and the fruit on it tasted really good. They also had a nice beer selection with solid options on tap, so it seems like a good place whether you're stopping in for lunch, a drink, or something casual after work. Overall, friendly service, quick food, and a cute little spot I'd come back to.

As a vegetarian, I felt fully seen because they went out their way to make me veggie tacos that were so good I'm still thinking about them. Drooling.

It seems like they will for at least the time being try to wear both hats. They have a nice selection of coffees to choose from. They also have a nice selection of specialty alcohol drinks. The staff was quite proud of using a computerized pour system to mix every drink the same way each and every time. My votes still out on the computer made drink. We all have our favorite bartender for mixing a drink a certain way, not sure how I feel about developing loyalty to a machine. The owners did an incredible amount of remodeling to make the Garden Lounge what it is including a poured concrete bar top. A really nice upscale atmosphere for downtown West Bend. A definite worthwhile date night or after dinner destination. There are no windows to the outside, making it the perfect spot to transition from morning coffee into day drinking and being blissfully unaware it's the middle of the day They offer homemade frozen pizzas and a handful of appetizers to boot. We tried the wonton wrapped cheese sticks and rangoons. Both went quite nicely with a few cocktails. Welcome to West Bend Garden Lounge & good luck with your future.

I called and they said they would still honor it AND I could use it on their Thursday night all you can eat ribs, so my eldest son and I made our way to West Bend for dinner. I got the AYCE ribs, which comes with cornbread muffins, and mac and cheese and fries for the sides. My son got a two meat combo with brisket and smoked chicken for the meats and mac and cheese and fries for the sides. His also came with a cornbread muffin and we ordered cheese curds to start with. The cheese curds were awesome. The breading was sort of like what you sometimes find on chicken strips, so it had a nice crunch to it. I didn't love the parmesan sprinkled on top, but that's a minor issue. Both of us really liked the mac and cheese. It comes in a container like you'd pour gravy or coffee cream from, so unfortunately we didn't get a ton of it. I'd have no problem getting double mac and cheese next time if my meal comes with two sides. The fries were more like potato wedges. They were on the salty side, but had good flavor and were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside like potato wedges should be. The all you can eat ribs came with four cornbread muffins. Obviously they want you to fill up on those and not order more ribs. For what they were they were fine and pretty much down the middle in terms of moist versus dry. I'm not normally a brisket person, but the piece of his that I tried was impressive. I didn't think the smoked chicken had much smokiness to it and, being white meat, it was more dry than I prefer. The ribs were excellent. They fell off the bone and had just the right amount of bark on them. The BBQ sauce was both tangy and smoky, which I like. The food came out relatively fast and our server (I think it was Savannah?) was friendly and attentive. Maybe the move to a new location has and will improve on some of the issues other reviewers seemed to have had in the past. As for us, everything went smoothly and I'm looking forward to stopping again.
