Diggers is a wonderful "supper club" style establishment and perhaps my favorite place to eat in La Crosse! Locals love this place, it's always busy, and its dimly lit atmosphere is great for a special night out. The food and service is always top notch! I typically order a steak when I'm here, which I'd recommend to anybody, but on my most recent visit I ordered the Canadian Walleye Fillet (Cajun broiled style), with a side of mashed potatoes and vegetables. It was fantastic! The fish was perfectly cooked and the serving size was great. I even had some to take home! This place is a must try if you've never been! read more

Dim lighting, jukebox w lots portraits of Marilyn Monroe vibes. Menu has lots of combo entrees. + Escargot tasted like snail/seafood, would get again! Garlic bread was more like w thin butter toast. No garlic + Top sirloin 6oz w broiled shrimp, salad, veggies ($36) good price, nothing crazy but meaty and nice combo read more

Dining at Digger's Sting is a must for us whenever we are in town, and I'd guess we have been fans for close to 20 years. The interior is warm and intimate, and the servers have always been stellar. This time my husband ordered the prime rib with steak fries, and I had the prime rib & scallops combo with loaded mashed potatoes. The prime rib was cooked a perfect medium rare, plus was well-seasoned and sooooo tender and juicy; my husband loves the accompanying mushrooms so much that I gave him mine as well. I also truly enjoyed the seared scallops. Another amazing night at Digger's, and it was our favorite meal of our 3 day stay!! read more

Yes, it's a steakhouse but it's perfect spot for a classic fish fry! Digger's has retro decor and supper club style ambiance. The cocktails offer variety and the dinner menu gives you great options to personalize and upgrade your meal. Our server, Kaz, took great care of us! We opted for the breaded cod and pan fried walleye. But he were excellent. Soup and salads were delicious, but the star appetizer was the buttery, crispy garlic toast! We will be back! read more

What a great find downtown LaCrosse. Themed after the classic movie The Sting, Diggers delivers excellent food in an old school steak house vibe. Waitress Maddie was sweet and perfectly attentive. We had a Filet, double sirloin and ribeye. Then argued about whose was better. Sides of au jus and mushrooms paired perfectly with our steaks. Recommend the garlic mashed baby reds.

Awesome old school ambiance steak house. We came in after a long day while in the area for work. We got seated right away and the staff was super friendly. I had the 6 oz filet that was delicious and super tender I ordered medium it came out well done but the flavor was still awesome and it was 8:45 so I didn't want to trouble the kitchen sending it back. Others at the table got the prime rib and 14oz rib eye and they both loved it as well. Cesar salad was also delicious with what tasted like a homemade dressing. Overall great experience. read more

I love Digger's but... Digger's is one of my favorite La Crosse restaurants - excellent service, ambience and the food is amazing. I would highly recommend. The one thing that has been disappointing during my last two visits is that they've changed the way they make their ice cream drinks, specifically the Brandy Alexander. They used to make it fresh and it would be large and creamy and absolutely incredible. Now, it seems they make them ahead of time and the end result is a not-creamy, very icy dessert that does not live up to what it once was. Please bring back the original! I would gladly pay a couple bucks more or wait longer for it to be served. Overall, I highly recommend Digger's! read more

They have an entire list of fancy martinis. I had two of them and believe me when I say they were strong. We also started with the cheese curds and those were pretty good. Service was quick even though the restaurant was packed. I'd love to go back to the more of their food. read more

Staff really friendly. Food came out so fast & was amazing. Unique little joint I'd definitely…read morerecommend.

Our large group of 13 stopped at Buzzard Billy's after weigh-ins on Friday night. We were told the…read morewait would be about 90 minutes, which we understood and were willing to accept. Around the 90-minute mark, we got a text saying we were 2nd in line to be seated. When we let the hostess know, she snapped back, "That doesn't mean you'll be next." She explained--in a very rude, condescending tone--that smaller groups would be seated ahead of us if a table opened for four. Not ideal, but we stayed patient. While waiting, we noticed tables being cleaned and split apart from a larger party near the bar. I politely asked the hostess if those tables could be used for our group. She cut me off mid-sentence and spoke to me extremely slowly and dismissively, as though I didn't understand basic seating. It was unnecessary and unprofessional, but again--we stayed calm. When we were finally seated, our group was split between two different sections, even though the tables were literally touching each other. The boys ended up with two tables of their own, and the adults were placed at two tables next to them. We still had three more adults arriving, so we asked our server (who was wonderful) if we could move one unused table from the boys' area to the adult side. She said she'd need a manager. Who shows up? The same rude hostess--now calling herself the manager. We asked if we could move the unneeded table so our adults could sit together. She immediately refused and started lecturing us about "affecting her waitresses' livelihood." She insisted each waitress needed their own tables and that she wouldn't "take away" from them. She repeated "livelihood" multiple times, even though we clearly explained that we were all on the same bill and were trying to make things easier for everyone, including the staff. We offered multiple reasonable solutions: Seat us together while allowing both servers to split the table and the tips Let the servers collaborate since we were one large group Allow us to use one table that was otherwise empty Every suggestion was shut down. She told us she had been "accommodating enough already." That line alone says everything. Meanwhile, the actual waitresses were fantastic. We tipped them very well because they provided great service. Our frustration was 100% with the "manager/hostess," not the servers. We visit the Buzzard Billy's in Des Moines regularly and have always had excellent experiences. Unfortunately, the La Crosse location handled customer service very differently--and not in a good way. Being talked down to, dismissed, and blamed for impacting staff "livelihood" when we were simply trying to sit together was unacceptable. For large groups: I cannot recommend this location. We won't be returning. Do better, Wisconsin.
