    BoftM (Pizza Burger) with homemade broccoli cheese soup
    Bobb S.

    What a great place in Kewaskum. Ever since buying our lake house, I make it a point to stop in every chance get. While all the items on the menu shine, don't miss out on one of their burgers. Every month, they have a burger of the month that also shines. Check out the classic, the black and bleu, and birria bandit. For lighter bites, the mexican street corn and quinoa hits home. Safe room for dessert as their cheesecakes are homemade and not to be missed. In a town this small, Kewaskum is fortunate to have them.

    Great local place not to far from Skiburst mountain. A okace to stop in while visiting for a cold beverage or a bite to eat. Great small town feel with a dedicated staff and great service. Had the burgers and the mother clicker all food was hot served fast and tasted so good!!! Can't wait until next years annual tubing trip to stop back in!

    I've seen pictures on social media of some awesome looking burgers and soup from Local Press Burger Bar, but stopping in Kewaskum usually isn't convenient for me. I was able to cobble together an excuse to head up that way with my kids over a recent weekend and we stopped for lunch. I ordered a build your own burger with double patties (2/3#) and cheese on a hard roll with fries for the side. One kid ordered a bacon cheeseburger on a potato bun with fries and the other had chicken strips with fries. I also got a bowl of soup for myself, which was chicken noodle that day. The soup was nearly perfect. You could tell it was homemade with the large chunks of real chicken and cavatappi noodle, which is uncommon for chicken noodle soup. My one thought while eating it is was that it could have used a little salt. Ironically, I thought the burger had an excessive amount of salt on most of it, which is a shame because in the moments where there wasn't as much salt, the flavor reminded me of the burger I get from Friar Tucks in Oshkosh and Fond du Lac, which I consider to be my favorite burger in the world. It had the potential to be just as good, especially with the unexpectedly awesome hard roll. If they can better manage the salt on the burger, this would be a new go to of mine even with Kewaskum not being convenient. The kids liked their food, which was a plus, and the bite I tried of one of the chicken strip was great, maybe among the best chicken strips I've had. I couldn't find a picture of a kids menu anywhere on social media, but it's pretty basic with a (cheese)burger, chicken strips, and mac and cheese. I know they have special cheesecakes that rotate, but the cherry kind they had that day didn't appeal to me. I'm hoping to stop back the next time they have the animal cookie cheesecake in stock.

    I recently ate here with my son and daughter in law. We had a appetizer of Funyon onion petals. They were very good. I ordered The Dirty Harry burger with fries. It was good. My son had The Beasty Boy Burger with Truffle fries. He said was very good. My daughter in law had the On The Fence burger with fries. She said was good. The food is fresh and worth the wait as made to order. The fries are nice and crispy but soft. The business was clean and the staff friendly. Would recommend as they offer some very unique burgers.

    Have eaten a few times at The Sweet & Salty Pig. Really like that they have breakfast and lunch…read moremenu available until mid-afternoon. Recently I had my new favorite, the Maple Glazed Salmon... highly recommend! My wife's meal however was a little lacking, it was a special that day, some type of shrimp risotto that was lukewarm and a little mushy, the side salad was also a wilted, not fresh. This was a let down, because I usually enjoy my meals at the Pig.... Especially the desserts! I'm going to say this was a one off, and will be back for the Honey Glazed Salmon, and of course, the desserts!

Have extended their seating to include outdoor seating. I love eating outside, would love to see them create a divider between the outdoor seating and road, otherwise very nice. Had the Bloody Mary with chaser, slightly spicy, was very good. We started with the tempura brussel sprouts, absolutely delicious. We kept changing our minds on what to eat and we decided on the brisket grilled cheese and we were not disappointed. The Gouda cheese, brisket, and mushrooms were a great flavor. Server was amazing and very accommodating. All in all a fantastic lunch. Highly recommend.

    Located next to the Milwaukee River, this family owned bar/restaurant has creative food offerings,…read moredaily food specials and offers take out and gift cards. Happy hour, served 2:00 - 5:00, Monday through Friday, gives you a chance to sample a variety of beers, seltzers, cocktails and Jameson whiskey soaked cherries. For entertainment there is a pool table, darts, video gambling and pull tabs. For convenience, there is a place out back with a designated smoking area. The menu has appetizers, cold sandwiches, kids meals, paninis, pizza, salads and hoagies. Several of the dips/sauces are homemade, and I found the dip served with the chips was especially good. It's the creation of the owners mother, and has a lovely whipped texture with garlic and onion flavor. I had the Rasta Roots salad, and my husband had the Simply Tuna sandwich. The salad was good, with the grilled chicken being served shredded instead of in strips. The jerk ranch had a little kick at the end, and was served on the side. The sandwich was nicely grilled, and the tuna salad was truly "touched with mayonnaise" so the tuna flavor stood out and not the dressing. Service was a little slow, but since we weren't in a huge rush it wasn't an issue. This is a nice, laid back spot with a beautiful brick and wood interior, and plenty of room at the U-shaped bar to socialize and chill.

    First let me say, I really love the food here and the establishment as a whole is very bright,…read morewelcoming, clean, and just has a good feel to it. The service is pretty good, they're all very kind. But not really as attentive and observant as they should be. We have come here a lot for takeout!! And that's good news because that means we really like the place and the food!! I hope people take this next part with a grain of salt, and I hope the owner maybe keeps this in mind. We went there again yesterday, but we decided to actually dine in. We stood at the bar area for 10 minutes super confused. Do they sit us, do we sit us? There's no sign saying what we should do... The bar countertop was so dirty from other peoples food scraps. It was gross. We kept looking at staff and no one said a dang thing to us..... ‍ what are we supposed to do here? We have never dined in here before. Do we seat ourselves? There's no sign or anything, and why is this counter so dirty? Eventually a table left so we stood by the table for 5 minutes and no one even acknowledged us. Even though we have been staring at employees the entire time. And the table was also dirty from the last people... Eventually we flagged down an employee and asked if she could clean the table for us. She gladly did. But why is this all taking so long? And the bar countertop is also still dirty, we have been there for 15 minutes so far. We sat and eventually realized we needed to order our food at the cash register and tell them what table we were sitting at. All the employees were lovely but not Observant at all. That we have been staring at them and standing around... When we ordered and eventually given our food, There were a couple mishaps with our food, but that's okay because mistakes happen and we're not the type of people who get upset over every little thing. The employees fixed everything. The reason for only 4 stars is because we were there for 1 hour from start to finish, and ONLY right before we left, did they start cleaning any of the tables or counter. They only cleaned our table because we asked. There was a massive pile of dirty dishes on the back counter, and only then did they start cleaning them up. I neglected to take pics of the pile of dirty dishes. To be fair, all the employees were busy the entire time, they weren't being lazy, they always had something to do. BUT cleaning tables and dishes need to be a priority especially during the busy hours. I urge and hope the owner please get a designated dishwasher and table cleaner especially during the busy hours. No one wants to sit at a dirty table with food scraps and sauce smears after someone has left. And also, please be more observant to confused customers who are standing around not sure what to do. A simple, "can I help you" would have really helped, and not made us feel ignored when we were confused. Also, a sign would help, like, "seat yourselves and order at the counter". Because the employees are also wait staff, and deliver food to the tables. It was just so confusing. Hope this helps. But otherwise, the employees were quite lovely when they did pay attention to you, and food is always good. Just be prepared to wait awhile for food.
