    First time going to Opening Day in many many years,so decided to go to Jackson's and use their shuttle to the game and grab a bite before the game.Jackson's has a fairly large pub style menu, appetizers,burgers, assorted sandwiches and a fish fry.Ordered a Patty Melt with onion rings (strings) and a Corona to start off with.My friend ordered the brisket sandwich and a Athletic N/A.The food came out pretty quickly, considering how busy it was with the Opening Day crowd. The problem with mine,was that it wasn't really a Patty Melt, instead just a burger (albeit decent burger) on toasted rye bread.It had the grilled onions and cheese,but just wasn't what a Patty Melt should be.The second issue was they brought me fries instead of the Onion Strings I had ordered (and paid extra for).The waitress noticed and said the Onion rings would be right out.What she brought was a little bowl of Onion Strings,not what seemed like the full order it should have been.All in all it was a little underwhelming, although the service was quick and efficient.There was just something a bit off and it,left me a little disappointed.

    Deep Fried Oreos! So good.

    Always a great experience here. From the food, to the service, to the fun atmosphere. My family and I usually get the burger, tosa chicken sandwich and deep fried Oreos when we come. All delicious. They have a wonderful outdoor patio in the summer months!

    First time visiting Jackson's. Sunday is half priced apps and $6 Bloody Mary's. We enjoyed the cheese steak rolls, cheese curds, seasoned fries, and the wings. Wings were nice size with the dry rub and spicy garlic seasoning. Apps were all nice sized for 4 of us to all share. I had the Tosa grilled chicken on the Ciabatta bun. It was very delicious with plenty of bacon. Service was amazing and friendly. The manager stopped by to check on us a few times which was nice to see. The place is very spacious with a separate dining and bar areas. Plenty of TVs to watch the game too. Overall a nice place with excellent food and friendly service. We'll be back!

    Amazing service here, our waitress was so nice! We came on a Wednesday night and they had $1 wings and $3 bottled domestic beers. We also ordered tater tots and reuben rolls. Great way to start off my trip in mke! People were out here sitting in the patio celebrating summer! Amazing vibe and feel

    I pass by this place every day to/from work for a couple years and honestly haven't been because I always thought it was a tacky dive bar given the PBR association (and undergrad memories). But ever since the weather started getting warmer, I've noticed that it has been PACKED so I finally decided to give it a try. Color me pleasantly surprised?! They've got great daily deals on drinks and food. Came on a Weds and they had $3 domestics and $1 wings. Even with coming in with low-ish expectations, the food was unanimously GOOD. WINGS: list of 8-10 flavors, I tried garlic parm and stinging honey, spicy garlic. Comes with a giant sauce cup of ranch or bleu cheese and a ... small amount of celery. You obviously don't come here for ur veggie fix BRISKET ROLLS: very savory, comes with jalepeno ranch dip. Good sized, super crispy LOADED PORK TOTS: the star of this was the onion string, the tots were good too! As a dish in its own, super solid. Although after wings and brisket, I think I was feeling all the salt Service was so friendly! And they have shuttles to/from brewers games and some big events. Outside patio + open air concept makes it so nice in the summertime. Really hoping to actually come here more often since it's so close to home!

    Loved the cheese curds and great Friday Fish Fry! Service was great and the setting was classic for a PBR pub!

    I've been coming to this place for a few years now and this guy Matthew never seems to disappoint.

    Stopped by on a Tuesday afternoon for a late lunch, early dinner and the service was friendly and it had a neighborhood vibe even though it is on Bluemound Rd. Super clean and the special Tuesday of BYOB (build your own burger) for $8 was fantastic! My husband had a hot honey chicken sandwich was good too! We will be back when it is cool enough for the garage doors to be open!

    I think this place is now called the waddle inn? I'm reviewing it here though since that's where…read moremost of the activity is... I came here to watch a game with some friends on a snowy night. It was pretty quiet when we got there around 5 but picked up as the night went on The decor...first thing in noticed is there isn't too much sports memorabilia on the walls. People have commented on that and I'm torn..the walls do look a little bare but overall its a nice clean look that eliminates that kind of junky look sports bars some times take on. TVs..lots of them! Its easy to watch a game here and the high top tables and chairs were very comfy...bar seats looked similar. We got appetizers to share at the table..fried pickles (whole picke spears!), quesadillas, and wings. The wings came eith with both blue cheese and ranch that were very good and lots of carrots and celery. All the apps were decent but wings were my favorite. They had a happy hour special (I think $2 off most drinks?) They had a decent amount of NA drinks and I had an athletic IPA and Heineken 0. Our server was the nicest girl and she got us our food super quick and accommodated all our requests. Another great perk is the parking lot in the back! North Ave can be busy for parking alot of times Final result - im a fan! Great game watching spot in east Tosa.

    Second time is not a charm…read more Round one Popped into Growlers late with my sister after a late flight while visiting. It's close to my second home, and I wanted to check it out. I asked what time the kitchen closed--got a flat "10" from the bartender. It was almost 11, so fine. Then I asked about their Bloody Mary mix. Instead of a simple answer, he launched into some condescending monologue about how they make their own, but only for the daytime crowd--when people "actually drink Bloodies." Cool, thanks for the attitude. It was clear pretty fast that this guy had no interest in being remotely welcoming. I pivoted and ordered the Lambeau Leap Mule. Turns out they were out of melon liqueur--whatever, it happens--but instead of offering literally any substitute (ever heard of schnapps?), he just dropped the other ingredients on the bar and walked away. No comment. No effort. Then, because this trainwreck wasn't done, he got into a heated scheduling argument with his younger coworker right in front of us. Completely unprofessional and incredibly awkward. I mentioned we might leave, and he scoffed. Like we were the problem. Round Two, better than the first but still mediocre at best. I am relatively certain this was a different person but the vibes were the same, think hipstery gatekeeping bartender meets bare minimum effort. Unsure if I will try again.

    I have visited Sluggo's frequently over multiple years. My latest experience has disturbed me. I…read morehave noticed that a "service charge" is included on their bills that they will remove for cash payment. But, it is illegal to add a service charge when using a debit (not credit) card . (https://www.google.com/search?q=is+it+legal+to+add+a+service+charge+when+using+a+debit+card+in+wisconsin&rlz=1C1GCEA_enUS913US913&oq=is+it+legal+to+add+a+service+charge+when+using+a) I asked our server politely about this and she wisely referred my question to her boss (the co-owner, I learned). He came to our table and was immediately irate. "I'll take the charge off your bill tonight, but never again. If you don't want to pay it, find another bar!" I never complained loudly or raised my voice so I was shocked by his angry attitude. I explained I had done some research and learned that a service charge is legal when using a CREDIT card, but is NOT when using a DEBIT card. I thought Sluggo's had been a friendly place, but I learned differently tonight. I'm confident I was right, but I realize customers are not always right. However, customers should ALWAYS be treated better and more professionally and graciously than what I experienced.
