We judge restaurants on food more than on ambiance. That being said this is a cute place with a fun ambiance. Old Fashioned's were strong, muddled but with a mix. Food was pretty good but not phenomenal. We had the combo. My husband had perch and jumbo shrimp. He thought both tasted pretty good but thought portion of fish was small. I had the scallops and cod. Both were not bad but nothing about the meal stood out in terms of flavor. I would not avoid the place if in the area. But also wouldn't rave about it to friends. Other food might be awesome so would certainly try other things on menu. read more

Love, love, love Crawfish Junction's burgers! Every single one is outstanding. Kudos to the staff for always being fast and friendly!

Wouldn't even give them a 1....checked in (after calling in) at 7:00 and just leaving at 8:45. Service was poor. Fried fish came soggy. When brought it up was told to sit down because I have been making a scene all night (because I asked a few times how long our wait would be). When asked for persons name she put her hand up to me and said "Never mind...go sit down".... read more

Fresh creative award winning food and great service. Many choices for a fish fry, creative amazing Burger of The Month specials. read more

Crawfish Junction - Check out their Burger of The Month! - Bars Near Me - Johnson Creek, Wisconsin

This was my 3rd visit and that has sealed the deal. You can tell its a pretty beloved place-a big happy family celebration of an anniversary; several families with small kids, groups of young adults. We visited on a Sunday around noon. Lots of people, 2 waitresses-working hard but not seeming overwhelmed. We wanted the walleye but they were out. Bummer. However, it gave us a nice opportunity to try the fish fry and it was FAB! Tender, perfectly cooked with a light crispy batter. This really is the best fish fry I've had. This same batter was on the crawfish appetizer-big chunks of tender tasty crawfish with a zesty Cajun tartar sauce. Yum! Well worth the drive from Madison. We will definitely visiting again! read more

Best bar style food I've ever had ! Place was in the middle of nowhere but worth the 10 minute drive from the Johnson creek mall. We had the fried alligator and pan fried fish (don't remember what kind was a while ago ). The sauces with the food were delicious . Can't wait to go back for their fish fry ! read more

Very good. Slightly pricy but the food is great. Give the alligator bites a try! I've only had the burgers but have heard grwat things about everything else. read more

Super Place. Cute, friendly, reasonably priced and so delicious. So glad it was recommended on Yelp.

First time here, had the crawfish apps and fuller style wings, both were wonderful. Will be going back.

After hearing great things about Crawfish Junction, we decided to check out their fish fry. We arrived around 5:45 and the place was pretty crowded (as we expected) and we were told it would be a 45 minute wait for a table. No big deal- we sat at the bar and ordered beer while we waited. The bar staff was awesome- very friendly and attentive, despite the large crowd. And it's a good thing they were so pleasant, because we ended up having to wait not 45 minutes, but an hour and 15 minutes for a table. So by the time we were finally seated, we were pretty hangry. Our server was also very nice and attentive, and she took our order fairly quickly. I ordered the 2 piece fried cod and my husband ordered the 3 piece- both very basic meals and on a Friday night you'd think they'd be frying up cod like crazy and getting meals out fairly quickly. Unfortunately this was not the case, as we waited about 25 minutes for our food. Then, when it arrived, there was no lemon for the fish (how do you not serve lemon with fish!?) and when I opened my baked potato, there was a huge black rotten spot in the middle. The potatoes come already cut open, so really this should have been noticed by the kitchen staff before it ever made it out to the table. Luckily our server was great about it and brought a new potato and some lemon slices right away. As for the food, the fish was very good but the portions were pretty small. My husband had french fries, which turned out to be really stubby- as in each fry was maybe 1/2-1" long- and they were seasoned well but were soggy. They weren't really big enough to dip into ketchup and almost needed to be eaten with a fork. Weird. So after more than two hours there, we felt like the food was just ok. Definitely not "Best of Madison" status, though. I guess I'd put it this way: it would have been fine if we hadn't had such a long wait, or if the food had been phenomenal enough to justify the wait. But the combination of a long wait AND mediocre food just left us feeling pretty blah about the whole experience. read more

Good food, and a bigger selection than I expected. In a party of five, we had two nice burgers, a reuben, a fish sandwich, and some crayfish. Good beer selection. Efficient service, though not particularly friendly; maybe just having a bad day. read more

Got to get the cheese curds. Chicken tenders best ever, real chicken everything is fresh and homemade. Great prices!! Great service and atmosphere read more

Great service and really good food. Specialty burgers were very different and complex in a good way. Would come back again

After the Warrior Dash we were hungry as balls. We went tits wide on everything! Drinks, four appetizers, and a round of burgers later...we left satisfied. The waitress will oblige you if you ask to split an Old Style and even bring you two frosty pint glasses with it. In fact, she was pretty awesome all around. Get a bloody, they were where the shit! read more

Love the food here. Only been to the bar to drink once bit was not disappointed. I love tje gator bites and the fact that i can get such a southern food way up here in wisconsin. Place always seems very clean and well kept up with. read more

Great Friday night fish fry and Wisconsin brandy drinks. We were seated relatively quickly for a busy Friday night. Had alligator snack appetizer and walk eye pike wonderful. Bartender, hostess, and server were excellent. read more

Saturday evening Prime Rib was excellent. Our party of three enjoyed Prime Rib perfectly cooked, Cheese Curds very good, Haystack Onion Rings, Sweet Potato Fries and Chips. Everything was done perfectly. Waitress was terrific and the Crawfish Lemonade (alcohol) was excellent. Highly recommend. read more

We went here because everyone raved it was so good. I didn't think so. I could get a better burger in IL(where I live). The waitress we had was horrible. One of the waitress was playing with her hair and putting on make up. Really you can't do that at home? Our waitress was at the table behind us talking to someone the whole time. She didn't place my order correctly of what I wanted on my burger. The fries were good. could could have be bigger. The burger was fine. I would only come back for the fries. Otherwise I wouldn't come back. They also have limited parking so you do have to park on the street if all the 7 or spaces are taken up. read more

What a wonderful place. Whenever I travel from my home in Idaho to my hometown of Jefferson we manage to find time for an evening at Crawfish Junction. A shout out to owner Torey Smith who was so kind to send me a gift card across the miles to Idaho for me to send back with a note to Jefferson for a friend. Thank you. Happy holidays! read more

If you drive anywhere near this place, stop. You will not be disappointed. Great craft beer selection, awesome burgers (not JUST burgers, creative burgers). Seafood cooked to doneness, not rubber. Great atmosphere and prices. These guys could compete quite well on any large city with this stuff! read more

Updated rustic cabin feel. People and staff are very friendly. Friday Cod is excellent! 5 piece for $13. Can't beat it. Alligators tail was also really good. read more

Food is fabulous! Jennifer is outstanding, and just a wonderful gal! I VI's titled this place for the first time when I was on vac. I would definitely come back again read more

Friday night Fish Fry was wonderful. They have live music on the patio. We put our name on the list, 45 minute wait, then grabbed a cocktail and sat outside on the patio. The fish and slaw were wonderful. The service was excellent and fast. I will be back. read more

This is a great place to grab a burger and some drinks. There prices are very reasonable and the did is good. It can get crowded sometimes but the service is usually really good. read more

Best food around, hands down. Never had a bad dish. Service is usually good and food gets out quickly. Great fish, wings, and burgers. Has classic food but also interesting fun recipes. Wisco sports special is $5 for wings fries and a beer during packers, badgers, or brewers games. read more

Place sucks been sitting here for over 20 min just got my drink 2 minutes ago. Followed by cold appetizers. Then watched as my friends ate their mediocre meals. My wings were decent. But I will never return read more

We had a such a great first time experience here a year ago, but what a HUGE let down that was today. Coming back from the Brewers game, we specifically drove out of our way to eat here (2 hours), only to be told by the hostess it would be 25-30 minutes before we could even be seated. 1/3 of the dining room was empty, plenty of tables, my 8 year old son politely piped up as he was all excited to eat here again and asked why we couldn't sit at one of them. Her answer was that they only had 2 waitresses and larger groups just came in. Hmm... so we're supposed to stand at the doorway 25-30 minutes, stare at the empty tables and other people eating, before we even get seated, none-the-less, at one of the still empty tables that were there when we first walked in. We won't be back and we certainly will NOT be recommending it to family and friends anymore, in fact, they'll be hearing quite the opposite now. So bummed. PS - I waitressed in my high school and college years, one of two waitresses on a shift, working a very similar sized restaurant, and were always grateful and willing to serve every table, filling the entire restaurant. We would have NEVER turned away anyone, especially if there were empty tables. Ridiculous! read more

We weren't able to get breakfast at a different establishment but the hangover burger took care of that! Kaylee (sp?) gave us amazing service despite having a lot of other customers to tend to. Thanks for a great experience Crawfish! We will be back! read more

Delicious Friday night fish fry, totally unexpected in this little town, but I'll definitely be back. Great drink selection too!

The best bar food ever conceived. The Trust Me burger is the best thing that has happened to me in a long time. Love love read more

Crawfish Junction - The Cheesehead.... - Bars Near Me - Johnson Creek, Wisconsin

I was in town from Chicago for work and found this gem on Yelp. It's a wonderful neighborhood joint! Everyone from the bartender to the host to the guy singing outside were inviting and amazing. It was great place to feel welcome while drinking and eating good food! read more

Very disappointed. The food was great, but when we asked to order another round of drinks after we ate we were told we could not order any thing more. We were forced to give up our table because there was a waiting list. We were willing to pay money to buy alcoholic beverages.... but we had to cash out immediately to give up our table. Very disappointed. We are big tippers that would have more than made up for our time sitting in our chairs!! read more

Get the "trust me burger" it's amazing!!....trust me. Good food. Good drinks. Good staff!!! My favorite local bar!!!

TEMPORARILY CLOSED!!!!! They had a fire in August. They are supposedly rebuilding, but they are not open yet. Hopefully it will be soon. http://host.madison.com/news/local/crime_and_courts/fire-damages-crawfish-junction-bar-in-jefferson-county-town-of/article_292551fe-ef4a-5408-9e36-19496786be07.html read more

I went here for dinner last night (4/16/15) with two friends. Our waitress was absolutely wonderful - friendly, funny, helpful, and knowledgable. They have SEVERAL beers on tap and she offered samples of the beers we were interested in. We started with the fried pickles - DELICIOUS! Hand-breaded, tart pickle chips with sriracha aioli (we also ordered regular ranch). My friends both ordered the 3-piece cod. They both commented that there was cinnamon in the batter, which one liked and one did not, but that was just a personal matter of taste. I had a burger with the beer onions on it and it was FANTASTIC. Perfectly done and the beer onions are to die for - so soft and sweet. I had read multiple bad reviews about their french fries so I was a bit nervous but mine were great! There were some very tiny ones (one of the complaints from previous reviews), but they were nice and crunchy so I didn't mind that at all. They were perfectly seasoned and salty, too. Overall, my ONLY complaints (if you could call them that) would be that it is a bit loud - we got there around 5pm and the bar music is played all throughout the dining area. But I was only aware of it for the first couple of minutes and then I was able to tune it out... and that they do not serve dessert. Will definitely be back - worth the drive from Sussex! read more

Ordered the chicken wings tasted like it was fried with fish or the crocodile bites...yuck!!!! I have eaten here twice and have not enjoyed the food or the price either time would not recommend this restaurant. read more

Simply the best food around! I have been there many times with friends and family. We have had alot of different things and have been delighted with everything. read more

We visited on March 27th and March 29th. Loved the fish fry so much we had to go back and try the burgers! Awesome service and kick ass food. We highly recommend the cod & perch. CheeseHead burger was by far the best thing I've ever eaten. We live in Sun Prairie and look forward to the drive. read more
