A limited food selection is made up by a thorough beer selection. A friendly bar tender and friendly locals rounded out the visit. A good sized TV behind the bar with great sounding speakers was kinda surprising. There is an old oval pic on the wall high above and behind the bar of a couple who I meant to ask who they were, but I forgot. Could they be the McSweet's? If I ever pass through Black River Falls I'll have to stop in and ask. Don't forget to get some beer to go!

I've eaten here in the distant past. It is as good now as it was then…read more The staff is friendly and the service is quick. The food is also quick. The food includes the Irish stuff you would expect, and in the past they've been great. Think fish & chips, Shepards pie (actually cottage). My friend and I had sandwiches this visit and they were great. The menu says you get chips. What you get is a generous portion of deep fried potato rounds, just a little thick. Some crunchy and some a little soft. The dill pickle... not my favorite but that's my take. Do Not skip the appetizer. The mushrooms are amazing. They are roasted or braised, and they are delicious. There are Irish beers here including Guinness, Harp, etc. or if you prefer something else there's a full bar.

Had looked forward to having Walleye fish my entire visit in Minn/Wis and I wasn't disappointed. I…read moregrew up in the area and Walleye is fished by both locals and pros. I was delighted they had it on the menu. One lady was the bartender, order taker, waitress and even bused all the tables. This is the Midwest work ethic I was raised with! She did a great job all the while maintaining a smile and good humor with the customers. Every table including the bar was filled and everybody left happy, including us. My friend had a Ruben sandwich w/ coleslaw and I had the deep fried Walleye sandwich with chips. It got real quiet while we were eating which is a good sign the food was good. The accompanying potato chips were fabulous! Never had fries done this way. They are thin like a chip but actually fried potato medallions. Definitely will come back when in the area again.

This will not stop us from going again, but the issue with the cell phones should be addressed.

The Abbey is one of my favorite places in Menomonie. Not only is the atmosphere really cool and…read morelaid back but the staff are always friendly and willing to strike up a conversation. It always seems like there is a really relaxed vibe and the low lighting and heated bar really add to this experience. I used to think that The Abbey was just a bar (by no means a bad thing!) but I stopped in for lunch and had a spectacular pulled pork sandwich a few days ago. Dare I say it... The best pulled pork sandwich in downtown Menomonie?! The sauce sounds like it would be weird because there is mustard in it but I can confirm that it is delicious and really makes the sandwich. Props to The Abbey for having a limited menu and having a few really good dishes instead of a bunch of average bar food. Apart from the atmosphere, food and staff there are really good drink specials at The Abbey as well! Every day there is a near unbearable special. When school is in session these deals are definitely taken advantage of by the Stout students. If I had to credit this place for just one thing it would be that the building itself is such a relaxing place. No flashing lights, no overly loud music and no amateur DJ screaming at the top of their lungs like other bars in Menomonie. Even yet, if inside is a little too much you can always step out onto the patio. If you're looking for a relaxed cocktail in Menomonie this is your place.

I've been seeing a burger that I have never seen outside of this region so when I found it on…read moreBrewskie's menu, I knew I had to try it - the Olive Burger. I ordered mine with both green and black olives with American cheese. Service was super fast, and the value was amazing at $6.50 for the burger and fries. Took it to go so aside from the phone call to order, I didn't experience any service but it seemed like a comfortable place that locals enjoy. The Olive Burger was good, interesting. I found the green olives to be a bit too salty. The black olives were the same mellow olive flavor you know and expect which complimented the burger and cheese. Overall it was a good experience so I would go back to try other burgers.
