    Steak sandwich
    Hazel Z.

    Food was okay, my husband got the steak sandwich and it came with a whole steak in between 2 slices of toast, not sliced or anything and the steak had zero flavor. We were pretty unhappy with this place as we waited over an hour for 4 meals that were all pretty similar. We waited 45 minutes for our appetizer and got like 5 onion rings and it costed $14. Then we waited another 20 or so minutes for our food and it was honestly not worth the wait at all and then having to assemble our own sandwiches and burgers had us confused as to why it took so long and there were not very many people in there at the time either. Overall we will not be returning.

    Wowza it's been a long time since I had my wedding reception here. Saw on social media they were having bands on the patio, so grabbed the kid and my Mom and headed out. Had a great burger and chips, cold beer, bloody Mary's and a great time. Definitely hit it up for a super laid back great time.

    Veggie platter

    Mountainaire Tavern is definitely a hidden gem of a dive bar/restaurant that I never would have know about if a Munds Park neighbor didn't mention it... We were staying with friends in nearby Munds Park and were looking for a lunch spot and a bit of adventure. We had use of an ATV so we rode that all the way to Mountainaire to round out the experience. It was super fun! Bess was our server/bartender and took good care of us. We also had a pleasant surprise that since the Packers won the game yesterday, the owner of Mountainaire bought a round at the bar for the patrons that were there at the time. Thank you for that! As you'll see from the photos I took, we had a bit of everything. I never would have imagined that this place had decent kids meals, but they did! The veggie plate was surprisingly fresh and delicious and a hit amongst our group as well! This place is a cash only dive bar off the beaten path, but has a ton of charm and some decent grub too. I had the turkey sub, but I hear the burgers are the way to go. And don't miss the potato fries... they are worth the splurge ;)

    Mountainaire locals only - all else should probably find someplace else. Not really welcoming to "outsiders". Food is fine for bar food, bouncer was intense.

    Taco Tuesdays with hard shell tacos and plenty of beef and chicken. We are looking forward to the barbecue but they're hiring a new chef so we were not able to try out there barbecue food. We thought they were dog friendly, but that's not the case. Beer prices are great. We really liked the low key atmosphere and jukebox selections.

    My husband had a blast!

    This place has a great atmosphere! We throughly enjoyed ourselves! The local crowd was fun and entertaining!

    This place feels like a north woods bar in Wisconsin. We loved the vibe as well as the food (pizza and a burger). We'll definitely go back.

We popped in on a Monday morning hoping to score some great grub and we certainly found some! Cubano ($20.95) - Starting with the bread - it's really fluffy, not toasted or pressed as with usual cubanos. Unfortunately, it's probably a little too light for the sandwich because some parts get mushy from being soaked in all the dijonnaise. The dijonnaise is very sweet, creamy with a mustardy zing. I think they add a bit too much, making the sandwich more fatty and messy to eat than I like (not to mention what I stated before about it soaking into the bread). The meat is fantastic. Both porchetta and ham are griddled on the flat top, giving them a developed and concentrated edge. The ham is to the point of being like country ham, while the porchetta still has great seasoned porky flavor. I believe they griddle the swiss cheese alongside the meat. It melts and crisps up into a cheese skirt, adding a fantastic texture to the sandwich. There's a lot of crinkle cut pickles underneath the meat, but it's not enough acid to cut through all that fat. Sandwiches come with a side of house chips. They are fried until a darker golden brown color, but aren't burnt. This gives a great kettle chip-like crunch. Even with different sized chips, they are very evenly fried with all chips being the same texture. They are salted the perfect amount. (4/5) Aleppo Pepper Pastrami sub Tomato Soup ($22.75) - This place is famous for their pastrami, and I can tell the quality. It's cooked on the griddle until it develops crisp edges. It's fatty, but the fat is rendered so there are no chewy and leathery parts. The meat is extremely tender and thinly sliced. It's honestly almost like bacon in texture, but the taste is completely different, with the exterior spices and pepper making a huge impact along with the rich concentrated meatiness inside. The bread is a nice toasted sourdough, not strongly sour in flavor, but definitely noticeable. The bottom slice is slathered with plenty of nopales studded cream cheese. It's added in a large amount and is an extremely creamy and fatty substance yet somehow doesn't overwhelm the sandwich. It's warm but not melty. The nopales are clearly there but I didn't find it to contribute much. The pastrami is layered on top of that followed by a ton of sweet brown caramelized onions that are very tender. An entire green chile, roasted and super smoky, is above that. Finally, aleppo mustard is spread on the top slice of bread. Between the green chile and the aleppo, there's a slight warmth that tinges the sandwich. It's nothing too spicy. Instead of chips, we opted to sub the Tomato Soup (no fee). It's very homestyle, full of tomato richness in a thick blend. It has a strong tangy tomato essence. There's basil oil drizzled on top for a boost of freshness. The soup is unfortunately quite a bit too acidic for my tastes, but that's only by itself! While very acidic, the soup is actually great as a balance to the sandwich (along with the pickle of course) since there's so much richness and fat coming in between the bread. (5/5) Proper Meats + Provisions definitely serves some great sandwiches. We were considering visiting again for our 2 full days in Flagstaff, but weren't able to make it because they close so early at 6!

We ordered the Basque cheesecake, and it was nothing like what we expected. Instead of being moist, creamy, and custardy, it was dry and crumbly. I mentioned to our server that the pastry chef might want to reconsider the recipe, but she responded that it had been made this way for many years, suggesting they were confident in it as is. At $16, the cheesecake was especially hard to justify. We've had far better cheesecake elsewhere for less. Would we return? Maybe...but primarily for the portobello appetizer.
