We ended up here for our 22nd anniversary dinner. It wasn't our first choice, but due to a power outage there we ended up here. We were pleasantly surprised this being our first visit. We both took home enough food for a second meal. The server was attentive and quick and they were VERY busy! The only thing I would change is sharper steak knives. I think a butter knife would have worked better. read more

I've been wanting to try this place for awhile and no time like the last day of 2021! My husband has been here a couple times. It has a small town homey vibe with a bar area and a small dining area. Lots of TVs showing sports games and bar decor around. It was fairly busy and picked up as we were there. Our server was super friendly and attentive. The menu had sandwich specials and the regular menu features gourmet sandwiches, burgers, greens, pizza, and munchies. My husband got the surf up sandwich special with beef tenderloin cut and lobster smothered in cheese. He enjoyed every last bite! I ordered the California with grilled chicken breast covered in bacon and avocado. Both sandwiches were a solid size and tasty. The bun was neat because it was stamped with "Joe Mamas" on the top of it. For sides it comes with a ton of chips or upgrade for fries, haystacks, salad, etc. I went for a side salad which tasted light and fresh, but it was a little larger than expected. I wasn't a fan that cheese came on it so next time I will ask for no cheese. However, I'm a cheese curd fan, so we had to try the cheese curds! Not only did the cheese curds melt in your mouth, but they were square shaped making them unique. I can see what all the hype is about and would go back again for some gourmet American food. read more

Service was great but food was disappointing this time! Normally my favorite restaurant in the area to go to! The food was as if it was sitting under heat lamp for a while ,cheese in the mozzarella stick was stale and rubbery.the sauce in wings were dry and barely any sauce left!!! Like I said not normal for this restaurant but today was a fail! The ambiance was decent they had live music witch made the crappy food a bit better. There was deals on the food witch made me feel as if this is why they rushed and or put less effort! read more

Delicious food and the best fish fry in town! It's worth the wait. Their other entrees and beer/cocktail selections are also fantastic.

Wanted to try Joe Mamas during our "safer at home " and so glad I did. The service and food was amazing. The bang bang chicken wrap was perfect and the dynamite sticks are spicy just like I hoped for. Will try again! read more

Amazing food, so many choices, huge portions, and great service! A family favorite with us.

This place was great. Even my picky 9-year-old loved their food. Great place, would go to again and again!

So many different awesome options of food to choose from. Very very good no matter what you pick. Hands down a favorite place to go when visiting family in the area. read more

Always love it here! Great food and great service! Great people too! Weekly Mac n Chese and sandwich specials are awesome.

My husband and I love dining at restaurant bars, and Joe Mama's is no exception. The friendly staff are always ready with a great recommendation for food and drinks, and it's easy to enjoy conversation as much as the people-watching. Get there early if you don't want to wait long, because this place is always hopping! read more

Visited here with my kids and husband for dinner the other week passing through the area. The food was very good, along with the drinks, however our server was less than ideal. Not sure if he forgot serving etiquette, but his snappy and volatile attitude made the experience very uncomfortable. Maybe it's just that one server, but next time I would just skip the bad service and order the food to go. read more

Very tasty food & friendly staff. Nice place to enjoy a meal with friends. Very busy place but never had a long wait to be seated.

Delicious food & great service! The mixed drinks were made to perfection and lots of TVs turned to good sports.

Great food and really good service when they are not super busy. The specials are really good and portions are always enough for 2 meals. The only downside is on my 2nd trip the young waitress told me there were no substitutions when I asked for no peppers on my sandwich. So I ordered it anyways and just picked them off. Kind of odd since it really wasn't a substitution. I'm thinking she was just not knowledgeable. Drinks are just as great as the food. Prices are perfectly in line with the food you get. Will definitely go back and recommend to anyone. read more

The food was decent and our waiter was very kind. However, the employees wore their masks incorrectly. Tables were 2-3 feet away from each other and there was no social distancing and mask wearing among customers. Very disappointed. read more

Awesome food! Come for the food stay for the fun. Drink offerings are great too! Friendly Servers read more

Food is amazing! I've order many things from the menu over the years and every time it never disappoints. Super fast service and everyone that works there seems to enjoy it. Such a great vibe and mix of locals & visitors. Biker friendly as well as family friendly. Highly recommend! read more

Joe Mamas - Taco Salad - Bars Near Me - Colgate, Wisconsin

1. When you walk in you immediately get greeted by very friendly staff. 2. You better come hungry because the portions are massive. 3. If your looking for Prime Rib on Saturday this is your spot! 4. Mac and Cheese like you've never had it before. Pulled pork Mac & Cheese is my favorite. 5. You also cant go wrong with their Rueben rolls for an app. 6. The hangover helper...that it is! 1/2 lb black Angus burger topped with American, cheddar and Swiss cheese, Applewood smoked bacon, grilled ham with a sunny side up egg and crowned with Lake Five Cheese Curds. Served on a pretzel bun. If you can't tell I really like this place, kid friendly as well. read more

Joe Mama's is terrific - the food is amazing, the portions are ample and the burgers and bloodies are to die for! Lighter fare as well - salads are fresh and tasty!! Super fun vibe too! Great music and great service! LOVE IT! read more

Heard great things about this place and wanted to go try it out. Really busy on a Friday night, nothing wrong with that. We were told it would be an hour wait. Hour and 40 minutes passed and we finally went to the hostess to see how much longer, and we were told 4 tables were ahead of us. I completely understand being busy, but transparency of the ACTUAL wait time would be nice. We ended up leaving, because we were about to wait at that rate almost 3 hours for a table. No food is worth that wait. Unfortunately will never attempt that again. read more

Love the food here. Too bad they are always packed and the wait isn't worth it. They should have the waitlist like Texas Roadhouse has.

Went for lunch today after we had heard many good things about this place. Not super busy so we were seated quickly and service was prompt and pleasant. Started with the bang/bang shrimp and it was perfect. Rueben was one of the best I have ever had and home made chips were really good and fresh. Everything we saw coming out of the kitchen looked great! This was our first time here but won't be our last! If there is a slight issue, it is a little on the pricey side. read more

Food was just okay. Other people definitely like it, it's always super crowded, loud, and hectic inside. Any time I have anything there, it never really impresses me. Probably because of how busy and extremely loud it is there I feel like I can never enjoy my food. Just a small town food place full of small town people that like to drink. Nothing special. read more

Great food and atmosphere. If you like cottage cheese, you gotta get it here. Just a helpful tip.

I eat here fairly often to meet with friends. Although the fish fry is otherwise great, the last 3 times in a row the potato pancakes have been cold and pasty. Just awful. It's obvious they are making them ahead of time and not bothering to crisp them up before serving. They also look burned. I think they are over cooking them with the thought that they will stay crispy till served. Just no. I would strongly advise ordering a different side. Also the walleye has a lot of bones. Be careful. read more

Burgers! Mac n cheese! Burgers! So so good! The staff is always amazing! Highly recommend!

The food is always great at Joe Mama's. You really can't go wrong. The Mac n Cheese specials are usually a must have. Good fish fry as well.

We decided to use this quarantine time to support local businesses as well as to find new spots to frequent once this has all over. Joe Mama's was a great find! We ordered the bluegill fish fry and the Codfather wrap. Oh my gosh! The Codfather wrap was honestly one of the best lent fish fry type meals that I've probably ever had. If you are picky about foods touching, this isn't for you. But for me, it was great!! It was the entire fish fry in a wrap so the cod, the tartar sauce and the coleslaw all in one. It sounds odd at first, but you won't be disappointed! My husband really liked the fries and the bluegill as well. We will definitely be coming back here for Friday Fish Fry, and can't wait to try more options. read more

Bartenders Jon and Patty bring a great vibe to the establishment! Celebrate your birthdays here you won't be disappointed

Stopped in today just for their prime rib dinner. We got there really early as we know this place can fill up fast, and we were seated quickly and Kelly our friendly waitstaff for the evening was on top of drink and appetizer orders. Since I have always been a fan of their food, we decided on a whim to head over and try their prime rib dinner. We ordered the cheese curds which are normally filled with cheese but these had a lot of breading and little on the cheese, must have been a weird batch tonight, there is always next time. My wife ordered their chicken sandwich with tots, which seems to be her go to dish at Joe Mamma's. Again her sandwich was really tasty and had their trademark bun to confirm where it was made. I had to order their Saturday night special of prime rib, subbing the potato side with haystack onion rings. The prime rib was decent, but it was missing the usual prime rib seasoned crust and the flavor that follows it, and it was not fork and (butter) knife tender, however it was early in the prime rib dinner offering so maybe I received an oddity just like the cheese curds. The service is always friendly and the food good, we will be back to debunk the curd and prime rib offerings of tonight. read more

Decided to try Joe Mamas for a pick-up of Friday Fish Fry. Excellent. Ordered on line - simple and easy, with a confirmation e-mail received for peace of mind. Picked up on time (despite a pretty full parking lot). And the food was fantastic. Great fish, plenty of fries and the sides very good. Would be planning to try again- hoping the next time we dine in and will be mask-free! read more
