    Went here on 4/13/24 Went here with a friend for lunch. Now that the days are getting warmer- they have outdoor seating. Inside is welcoming. Very clean. Laid out nicely. Many options in the menu besides burgers. We both ordered bacon Cheeseburgers. They offer up 2 choices of fries. The burgers were huge. Fresh and made to perfection. Everything was perfect. The person who waited on us did a great job for us. Rough us out beverages right away and the food came up pretty fast even tho the place was pretty busy. I met the owner. Very nice lady. This is a privately owned establishment. Love supporting local places. There is more than one of these places. I think she said there are two others? But they are all privately owned. Great place to take your family, friends or kids to. They have plenty of tv's if u want to watch a game. They also have music videos playing in some of the tv's. Great atmosphere. Very well maintained/clean. Until the next review, Steve-O, out!

    This bar has a LOT of top shelf liquors. Impressed.

    1/15/22 - 2:30 PM First time here, and it's a a very nice place. Slots in the back, and awesome album wallpaper! The menu is vast with burgers, pizzas, Mac & cheese, wings, etc. Had a gin & tonic and the bartender did everything right. Ordered at 2:40, received food at 2:53. Hot food, right from the kitchen, love it! 3 drinks + food : $32.54 Pros: Attentive service Vegetarian options (Beyond burger, salads, etc) Full bar with multiple beer options Large TV's at multiple locations Macaroni is freshly made to order (confirmed by chef). Mac & Cheese is good, better than most places I can name but won't. IF you play the slots, the bar will give you $5 to start!? Cons: Bacon in Mac was either over cooked or reheated: dry like jerky Nitpicks: --------

    Boneless wings, Thai chili, Makers Mark BBQ.

    Aaron was our server and he was great! Very attentive. We had the boneless wing. Great sauce and nice big bites. We each had a burger. Both burgers were cooked to our spec. Oh and the $7 double talk's went down very easy. Good selection of both food and drinks.

    Hayley is an awesome server. Here's my slider Bloody Mary!   Mmmmm

    Awesome Bloody Mary. Also the prime rib wrap was very tasty. My daughter had chicken Parmesan sandwich and loved it.

    Went here with the wife for a quick lunch date. We saw the some pictures of the food and thought wow looks really good. We got seated right away server came fairly quick to give us menus but that's where the quick serviced stopped. Waited quite a while to order in a not too busy place. We got cheese curds as appetizers we saw them sitting waited to be served for a good amount of time. Then when it came to our meals I guess cleaning up tables and gathering a bill that the customers already left was more important than hot food. By the time our food came my fries were cold the wrap was warm not hot. The wife's burger came with out onions and with lettuce we asked for the opposite we returned it the server just added raw onion, it was supposed to come with onion tanglers main reason she ordered it. So we sent it back again. Then of course waiting for the bill took for ever because our server must be expecting a huge rush at 2pm on a Friday bc she had to make sure every table clean or dirty was wiped down. Then we got our bill. Will not be going back food was mediocre at best service was poor

    I have been sleeping on this review because I wanted to go back a second time. My first trip was in…read moreNovember 2023 and my second time was last night. The place is veteran owned and has a military flare to the decor. For our area, this is welcome and we have nothing like it. They also frequently have live music, and I do love me some live music. The service has been great both time I was there. I sat at the bar the first time and a table the second...just to make sure the service was great in both locations! Of course bar service is always faster because you are right in front of them, but I will say I did not have to wait at any point to sit, order, or pay. They were friendly and genuinely wanted to make sure everything tasted as good as it looked. When I go to places that run specials I am voted less likely to order off the menu and I have stuck with that philosophy with SteelTank. The first time I had a steak and shrimp pasta. It was so good I could not stop eating it. I ate nearly all of it and had zero regrets, but I was happy I had a few bites left to enjoy the next day. Second stop, Sausage & Pepperoni stuffed Bavarian pretzel. This pizza of the week is delicious! The pretzel is cut in half and stuffed and not hollowed out as most places do. You can see from the pictures it is stuffed and you can taste the pizza. Greens with a pizza you say? YES! So good, the vinaigrette dressing that is on that pretty little salad is making my mouth water as I type! Specials were not mentioned either time I went. The specials are posted on Facebook and that is how I knew about SteelTank and what I should order. That would be my only complaint, when you receive a menu patrons should be told what the specials are - or - post it somewhere so people know.

    Place is closed. Will they ever reopen? Too bad it was a local place we enjoyed. Sunday night pizza…read more& beer special, the concerts at Rally Point, three cheese appetizer....miss it.

They also have different specialty cocktails throughout the year. -Cheese curds...I know, it's Wisconsin, but these are right up there with the elite. Cons: -I'll let you know when I find some. We've been to Crafty Cow several times over the last year, probably four or five times, and we've always been impressed by how friendly the waitstaff and bar staff are. The owner is also very nice and clearly involved, which I think is cool. I almost always order the same thing: the chicken strip meal, which comes with three huge strips and a large side of fries. The chicken here is really interesting because it's marinated in pickle brine. You can definitely taste the brine, and it adds something you didn't even realize was missing. My wife used to order the same thing, but now she tries something different each time because she knows she can share my strips. Everything she has tried has been good. Also worth mentioning: they have really good ranch dressing. I was surprised when I looked up Crafty Cow on Yelp and saw that it had less than four stars. Looking at some of the older reviews, I'm guessing it may have had a bit of a rocky start. But based on our experiences, Crafty Cow has been consistently great, and we'll definitely keep coming back.

    HIGHLY RECOMMEND Working with clients in Oconomowoc, I…read morerecently lunched at Crafty Cow Burgers & Fried Chicken; we had a terrific experience! The interior decor is very 'pub' like with expanses of dark wood and many art prints/framed works on the walls; there is a large bar in the front area with several tables/high-tops. In the back, the aesthetic is more 'industrial' with exposed brickwork and beams. We were greeted by the bartender (?) and seated immediately; our waitress brought us menus, reviewed the specials with us, and then brought our drinks. Crafty Cow specialises in 'craft' sodas and I enjoyed a very nice diet 'cola' drink with lemon; it was delicious. I ordered the chicken sandwich with the 'Nashville Hot' seasoning (because, hello, Nashville Hot) and it arrived piping hot with lots of shoe-string fries, also piping hot. The flavours were absolutely wonderful, full of contrast and balance. The 'heat' from the chicken was excellent; the chicken was plump and juicy, and had been perfectly breaded and fried. The slaw was also excellent: just the right balance of sweet and crunchy to offset the hot chicken. My clients and I enjoyed our visit to Crafty Cow Burgers & Fried Chicken and plan to return! HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Inside is a large bar with tables for different sized groups. Got here a little bit before noon. Got seated right away. Ordered a couple of cold beverages while checking out the menu. It took a while for our server to get back to us, which was not a problem for us (couple of retired guys), but would have been if I were in a hurry. I ordered the Bourbon Bacon Burger with Sweet Potato Fries. My friend got the Chicken Wings, dry rub with Smokehouse BBQ. It didn't take too long for the food to arrive. However, the Chicken Wings weren't dry rubbed; they had a sauce, which turned out to be the Habanero. My hamburger was excellent, done medium-rare. There were plenty of caramelized onions, and I loved the texture and taste of the haystack onions on top. However, the fries were lukewarm. It took another while for our server to get back to us to check on things. Mentioned the wings to the server. She took them back to the kitchen and had the correct wings made. By the time they came back out, I was done with my meal, and he was just getting started. Never got asked about a refill on beverages, so I had to ask for some more iced tea. The burger was good, the view is great. But the service, both at the table and in the kitchen, was disappointing. Not an experience that would have me enthusiastic about going back.

First, the place is cash only...had to find an ATM nearby before we could even order. We couldn't order at the counter ourselves, and had to wait for a one of the car hop girls to take our order. It was busy, so we expected to wait a bit. Ordered a cheeseburger with ketchup, brat, 2 orders of fries, a vanilla shake and a chocolate shake. Food shows up after 15 minutes, and the bill is just over $28. They forgot the brat, the burger was only as thick as the slice of unmelted cheese on it, and was drenched in ketchup...slid apart as soon as I picked it up. Fries were okay, shakes were pretty good. All said and done, nothing to get excited about. We'll probably never be back. Overpriced, not great food. Save your money and go someplace else.
