While visiting from Boston, my friend and I took a day trip to New Glarus' Octoberfest. During the…read moretrip, we saw this line of people waiting to get inside Kristi's. Of course, we joined their excitement...and so glad we did! Once inside, we saw the most delicious selection of items. Initially, my friend offered to pay, but after he saw how much I was buying, he told me I was on my own! The selection was vast, the line moved fast, and the service was impeccable. Thank you from Boston :)

My first time here at Kristi's and it was lovely! Friends and I met for dinner on a Friday with a…read morereservation at 6:30. While it didn't completely fill up I would still recommend making a reservation as it's a small space. We started with cocktails - the pear old fashioned was good, but quite strong! They have a fair-sized cocktail menu and several wines to choose from as well. I ordered the blackened mahi mahi and risotto that was the special for the evening and it was fantastic. The fish was seasoned perfectly, and the simple risotto had great texture and flavor. Two friends finished their meals entirely so I can only assume they were just as good as mine (salmon and twin medallions). I almost ordered the fish fry but was bummed about having to choose between coleslaw and potato so I didn't. Our server was lovely. It's clearly a close knit group of employees and a one feels like family when dining here.

Ice cream with great views next to a lake! What else is there to say…read more.. This is a great local spot to stop in to get a scoop of ice cream and then take a walk around the lake or just sit at the dairy bar and enjoy the view. I don't remember the brand of ice cream they serve, but I think it's made locally. You can also order food here, but I didn't see any menu to order off of. Maybe you just know what's available. Or you have to actually talk to someone to get the menu?!

It's amazing, especially for a campus diner. My wife and I often eat here when visiting our…read moredaughter, who attends UWP, and we were quite impressed the overall experience. Each time we've dined, the food has been excellent, and even more importantly to my wife and me, there is a friendly nutritionalist on staff who specializes in allergies and keeps the students healthy and fed well. Our daughter has significant food allergies, and it is a great assurance to know that UW Platteville really has her safety prioritized while still maintaining an excellent and delicious menu. The atmosphere is really cool, too. It very different than the cafeteria style experience I had decades ago when I was in college, and even though they get you through the lines quite quickly, it feels much more like a restaurant experience than a college dining option.

**July 2025: Late Morning Visit**…read more Spotted Cow! The city of New Glarus is basically a Spotted Cow destination! Wherever you go most restaurants will serve this beer, which is very malty. This beer is only available in Wisconsin but if you want the seasonal stuff visiting the New Glarus Gift shop will give you the most options Tuesday-Saturday: 10am-5pm I think the tasting option is $8 for 3 pours. It's a good way to try out all the different options before deciding on which bottles (or cans) you want to buy. The Stone Soup (Seasonal) was my favorite, but you can't go wrong with the original Spotted Cow. I think the majority of the seasonal beers were in bottles. I think they come in packs of either 4 or 6. The prices here are pretty comparable to if you buy them from a Wisconsin Target, but the big box stores have less variety. Since I was doing a big cross country roadtrip my weight allowance could not' accommodate everything I wanted *cries* and they don't ship their booze *cries* Next time I come back I'll make sure to make bring an empty suitcase! If you're visiting New Glarus your trip won't be complete without a visit to the factory (gift shop)!

An Unexpected Hidden Gem! What an unexpected surprise! I was…read morejust driving through the area with no intention of stopping at a brewery when I stumbled across this place. I've been to a lot of craft breweries, and I have to say this is now one of my all-time favorites. The concept is simple but awesome this isn't your typical bar. There's no indoor seating, but there's plenty of outdoor space on the other side of the parking lot. You come inside, pay $8 for a beer, and get to keep the glass. Or you can sample three beers for $8, keep the glass, and get a coin for a free beer in town. They also sell beer to go and other fun merch with their logo. The staff was super nice and friendly, and the vibe was relaxed and welcoming. I tried the Oktoberfest, the Pilsner, and the totally naked. All were fantastic! If you're anywhere near the area, definitely stop by you won't regret it.

We stopped here for drinks and dinner because it wasn't far from where we were staying and it's…read moredefinitely the place to be because it filled up fast. I'm not a snob so I can do a nice place, a dive and anything in between which was how the weekend went. The bar was pretty busy for a Saturday night and I was going to do a fresh patty burger but pizza after pizza was going out the front door so I might rethink my burger. The place is your typical Wi small town bar and not a dive but old looking that is CASH ONLY with a full bar and restaurant. The menu is decent for a bar and they take the food seriously with fresh beef burgers and real pizzas. I had a couple beers and gin tonics which were ok and not top shelf. The place is pretty loud and it was hard having a conversation but it was the place to be. We ordered the 16'' Soprano pizza with sausage, pepperoni, Canadian bacon, fresh mushrooms, onions, green peppers, green olives and black olives. First off they don't skimp on the toppings because they were plentiful and the pizza was really good with a nice saltyness from the green olives that worked so well. I doubt that they make the crust and I could be wrong but it very good because it was not thick or cracker thin but a nice in between that was like a fresh chewy crust from good fresh baked bread. It was weird to bump into the owner of the bar that we usually go to for drinks and pizza like we were cheating on him but it was all good but unexpected. Overall the pizza is good, the drinks are ok and the prices are very reasonable for a casual dinner and drinks and I see why they were packed and the lady's working the bar did an outstanding job keeping up with all the people.

If you're in the area you have to give this pizza a try. The crust is the most delicious crust I've…read moreever had, Monday night is pizza night and they always have specials for pizza night!

I talked to a couple of ladies at the bar who said I had to come back to eat there for dinner and that's exactly what I did! My husband and I had dinner at 5PM at the bar. I ordered the Stube Salad and he had the Wiener Schnitzel with red cabbage and warm German potato salad. The salad was a very generous portion and the dressing was sweet and delicious. The Wiener Schnitzel was delicious!!! I ate half of my husband's dinner and I loved the cabbage and potato salad. Everything was great! Service was also friendly. I'm looking forward to going back! Also to note: we left a jacket behind and had to leave early in the morning the next day before the restaurant opened. We live about 2 hours away and I called the restaurant and they have the jacket. We asked if we could send a Fed-Ex package with a return and have them mail it back to us, the owner agreed. We are really grateful for the kind service!
