    Great small town place! The name says it all - Local Folks Restaurant & Pub lol. It really was filled with mostly local folks. Service was local friendly, you know, the "what can I get you, hon?" kind. Love it! We went on a Friday with a group of friends. Hubby got the Friday Night Fish Fry with fries. The fish is all you can eat, and you can get both beer battered or baked cod. They were not stingy with the portions! And it didn't take 30 minutes in between to get more, so all the guys on the table (they all got the fish lol) were super happy. Hubby says it wasn't out of the world delicious, but pretty good, as were the fries. I mean, he had like 3 portions of the fish. I got the strip steak prepared with garlic butter and salad and mashed potatoes. Hubby had the mashed potatoes, which were good. Salad was very fresh, with a side of dressing as I had asked. Nothing spectacular, but I hate it when you see wilted veggies on a salad and this one was crispy fresh. The steak was market priced, but reasonable, under $15. I'm not sure what cut of meat they used, but it wasn't the most tender or fatty. I should have asked before asking for a medium well - had I known, I would have gone medium rare. Garlic butter was delicious. A friend had the same steak with sautéed mushrooms, and it looked juicier than mine. But probably tasted about the same haha. Overall, a nice casual place to hang out with family and friends. Great vibes and happy service.

    Ordered steak medium rare, thing was like cardboard! Worse Bloody ever, Never use premix for a good Bloody Mary!!  Won't be back!

    Ordered steak medium rare, thing was like cardboard! Past well done, Worse Bloody ever, Never use premix for a good Bloody Mary!! Won't be back! She did take $5 off my bill for the steak. I barely drank the Bloody Mary it was that bad! She did tell me a head of time it was pre-mixed, I should have gotten something else. Learn how to make a real Bloody Mary and you'll sell more of them!

    Heard about this place through the grapevine. Off the beaten path, but well worth the find. Went here on a Friday afternoon for a quick bite. I call it a local bar/café, with rustic roots. Anyway, started out with a Bloody Mary (perfectly made), and had a Liene side car. Soup of the day was beer cheese. Excellent flavor! Had their fish fry and it did not disappoint. Three pieces of deep-fried cod, golden french fries, and coleslaw. My girlfriend had a beautiful cob salad, garnished with bacon, egg, tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots, and fresh mushrooms. Reasonably priced items! Our server was very cordial and was very attentive. Not very much lot parking, but some on the street.

    Absolutely fantastic breakfast options that fit my flavor palate, which is fairly simple and focused on quality over quantity. I really enjoy the food and wait-staff at Local Folks.

    We have been trying to find a local place for breakfast for 5 years and nothing! So the other day we were sitting around the lake and I started asking everyone for suggestions and Old Folks came up. So my wife and I went on a quest to find Old Folks on the Old Hwy 50. We could not find a phone number or even address for this place. So we decided to use our Smart Phones. We were able to use our technology and zoom into a map of the area and then I saw something called Local Folks on the map. Of course, all of the locals had the name wrong. As soon as we walked in we were so excited to have breakfast here. This is our new place and the prices were amazing. They also have a kids menu too which is really nice. I highly recommend the Silver Dollar Pancakes...it makes it fun for them to eat. I had the Eggs Benedict Sandwich...which was Wisconsin Style...smothered with cheese...I had to use a fork and knife to eat it. It was really good. My wife had the hashbrowns with veggies...they were really good. We also had some biscuits and gravy for desert. Oh yeah and the bill was cheap too!!! Everything was amazing...check out my photos for some of the breakfast dishes. We will definately be coming back here. Also our waitress was really friendly too and she seemed like she had been busting her ass off since 6am...we got there at 10:30am on a Saturday. This place also has lunch and dinner too and a full bar when you walk in. We did not try any of this but we did notice that there was a Bloody Mary Special on Sunday...so we may have to try that out!

    Stumbling upon this bar and grill felt like discovering a true hidden gem. While the surrounding…read moreroad is currently under construction, getting in is a breeze with accessible entrances at both the front and the back. Parking is wonderfully convenient thanks to the dedicated parking lot and garage located directly behind the building. The standout feature of this establishment is its incredible dedication to gluten-free diners. Not only does the menu clearly mark all gluten-free items, but it extends this care to drinks as well--something I have rarely seen outside of beer selections. To start, I ordered the Burlington sunrise cocktail, and it was exceptionally good. The menu also explicitly notes that all gluten-free items are prepared separately, providing immense peace of mind. My dad and I shared the cheese curd pull-apart appetizer, which was delicious, complemented by ranch dressing that was quite fantastic. For my main course, I ordered the BLT on gluten-free bread accompanied by fries. Although it initially arrived with onion rings by mistake, the staff quickly remedied the error and brought out a fresh side of fries, made easy by their dedicated fryers. My dad ordered the sausage, and everyone at the table agreed that the food was fantastic. The service matched the quality of the food. When I mentioned my celiac diagnosis to our server, she responded immediately with an reassuring and confident "no problem." To top off a wonderful evening, we discovered they host a trivia night, part of a rotating schedule detailed on a special activities menu showcasing the fun events they offer every night of the week.

    Love the decor! friendly place with a decent bar menu. Great hamburgers. They have a pool…read moretable, on which we played several games. Drink prices were reasonable. Bathroom was clean. I would visit again if I was in the area. There is a public parking lot nearby.
