He also said something about them being squeaky which is apparently a good thing but I don't know, I'm not fluent in Wisconsin dork language. Good pizza too. However, I do NOT recommend the lemonade. It walked like a duck and quacked like a duck but I'm pretty sure it was half water. Also, the layout and atmosphere seem fun and ideal for bar hopping with friends. Unfortunately, I've already spent an embarrassing amount of money on alcohol this month, but I'd come back another time.

We had some special appetizer - corn elote dip and chips. We weren't very impressed with that either. My boyfriend said it feels like something they just took out of the microwave and needs more flavor. They gave us paper/styrofoam plates. I guess I would have preferred plastic over that. The plates wanted to blow away every time the wind blew through. And it just felt cheap, and wasteful. It is a nice place to enjoy the view of people walking by and have a beer. But I was not impressed with the food.

Sat quickly, drinks and ordering was quick but then never saw the waiter and had to flag him down to get our bill even though we had empty glasses for at least half the meal. The food was hit or miss. The chicken tenders and tater tots were delicious. However the pizza left a lot to be desired. Crust was thin and crispy but the pizza itself lacked any real flavor (pesto). Kids got Mac and cheese which is just Kraft I wouldn't come back unless you're just looking for drinks on the patio.

A group of six of us walked in, sat ourself, and I asked a bartender if the kitchen was open. There were two guys behind the bar. They looked at each other and gave a nod. The younger guy said yes, but we are out of the fish fry. No problem for us. We were served by the younger guy and he was friendly, attentive, and didn't treat us as second class as most of our group took water while I had a couple beers. It was pretty quiet when we arrived. We tried a couple apps, and a few different burgers and fried shrimp. Having read about the steak burger, we had high expectations but it fell a bit flat. Others mentioned a sauce, but there wasn't any in ours. The burger with bacon and jalapeño was a banger though! Onion rings and fries were excellent. The curds were good, but I've had better. When it came time to close the check, our server met me as I jumped off my stool. I don't know his name, but gave him a 25% tip. Wish he worked at my place! For the Dells, the price is very reasonable in my opinion. As we were leaving things were lighting up, and getting loud. I got the impression the kitchen was closing even though they say they are open late as the older guy was grumbling about only having two people working. As an owner of a cocktail bar I get that things happen, but I don't like my employees getting upset about it. The younger guy kept his cool - even if he was hoping for more. I do plan to go back for another service and ask about the sauce on the steak burger. Felt weird to talk about it before getting it the way I assume they serve it.
