Harley commented that RockFilter Distillery where she also works, is just on the other side pf the park! I thanked her for all her information as i would depart to...just across the park. Fat Pat's is a cute venue fir food & a craft bevvy in a so cute small town. Glass garage doors set the scene w essentially floor to ceiling windows; w the spread out and spacious, welcoming tap room. Only amped up when you couple ot w the friendly service. Thank you FatPat's for a delicious & enjoyable visit to my 368th brewery, cheers!

A great place to dine when visiting Prairie du Chien or nearby Marquette, Iowa…read more We are in the area, hiking nearby state and federal parks. This was the first spot we picked out for a meal. It's a beautiful old building, with lots of exposed brick and plenty of old artifacts from breweries, the town and more. Like any good Wisconsin restaurant or bar, it has old-fashioned on the menu of their specialty cocktails. I would put this in about mid range of the old-fashioned that I have had. I've had better, I've had worse. This was one of those times where I had to ignore the fact that went with vegetarian, and ate fish because there weren't a lot of options on the menu. That being said, the grilled salmon salad was amazing. I wasn't able to finish the whole thing, however, because we ordered the cheese curds. They were super melting and lightly battered. Quite good, though my companion thought they were more like mozzarella than actual cheese skirts. I am not so sure, but either way it was good. The staff was super friendly, and gave great recommendations. I can't get over how quickly the food was made. I definite must stop when visiting Prairie du Chien

One was the sweet potato fries, which were super delicious and the other was their homemade applesauce, which was absolutely amazing. They had lots of sauces on the table to choose from. I really liked the classic barbecue and the Berry one. Everything tasted good. Our waitress was amazing and helped us pick up breakfast spot for the next morning. She was also just a really great waitress and super attentive. I would definitely recommend coming here.

This was the worst BBQ I had in my entire life or even The fries were old and tasted microwaved or…read morecooked in old oil not sure . The bbq sauces were terrible. Best way describe them if you take an okay sauce and make it old and delude it with water and make old bbq water you will get the idea of what it tastes like. The brisket was lukewarm , old, not seasoned, bland and dry, no smoke ring. It was like all the flavour was sucked out of the meat. Bun was okay not stale at least. Cheese curds had gross batter and some were still frozen inside . We ate it because we were traveling and had no other choice but I'm helping next person out passing by to make their choices wisely. I wouldn't not recommend this place. As far as atmosphere, not friendly towards us but seems more friendly to table next us so probably picks and chooses his " politeness " and it was hotter than the sun in there . We had to wait for a while for our food, they were not very busy.

Full disclosure: I came here because I wanted a pork tenderloin and the place I was going to try…read morewas closed. The service was weird. The kid at the front acted so off. I thought I was giving him grace because they got a new POS system, yet he didn't know some simple menu questions I asked him. And he was just super odd, not rude, not friendly, just odd. Both tables I tried to sit at were dirty. The Mac & cheese is creamy and bland. The creamy coleslaw was better than decent. I'd take a quart of that! Their BBQ sauces are tasty, there's just not a huge difference between the three. It's subtle. The tenderloin IS very good. It could stand for some finishing salt, but excellent without. I bet their other meats are excellent, there were just some things that were really off putting with the service.
