    Come with a thick skin Insults are standard discourse They still draw a crowd Kind of a gimmicky place like Dick's out of San Antonio. Maybe a little more vulgar, though. Lot of tips in the swear jar at this place. Just heard a customer say "Thanks for not throwing stuff at us!" Ordered a chicken sandwich. Seems doubtful that it is coming at this point. Cook's shirt says Pete's Garage 24 Go Fuck Yourself! As long as they don't charge me for it, not worried about it. If I can even get a bill. Only got a hondo bill and cards. F is right. Food finally came. Chicken sando. Nothing special other than the lethal dose of sodium. Four stars because I like my humor heavily laced with profanity.

    Greatest freakin' dive bar I've been to. You know it was good when you leave smellin' like the place. Bartenders were awesomely rude in the best possible way, curds went great with the 2 buck beers too. If dark dives with cheap beer, cool people and the best food that's the worst for you is your thing this is the one. Grab a cheap hat while you're at it to remind you what it smelled like the next day, it's sure to bring a grin to your face.

    One of the greatest burgers i've ever eaten. Service was harsh, as is the theme, but I walked out with a handful of stickers so it's all for show. Awesome drinks too.

    3 Car Pile Up appetizer.Chicken stripe, cheese curds and fries.We will be eating again for dinner tonite.

    We were in the area and discovered this on Yelp. It was fun, quirky,and the menu was fun to read, entertaining and the food was great. I had the appetizer shrimp, crisp hot and flavorful, we shared the 3 car pile up appetizer...too much to finish and a Vehicle Wrap Prime Rib sandwich. We have already shared this place to friends.

    Food was delicious. Atmosphere was awesome. Unfortunately took forever to get food, which they warn you about in their rules (that you read while waiting for you food).

    One of the best burgers I've ever had. Staff banters with the customers and it's all in fun. Plenty of TVs for sports watching. Dive bar but great food. Perfect combo.

    Irreverent & charming, Pete's Garage Bar offers good bar food and a relaxed atmosphere. I really liked their cheese curds and French fries; crunchy yet not greasy. The service is like they say: they are short-staffed so you have to pay attention and follow the guidelines. See for yourself! (Pic)

    Cheeseburger

    Loved everything about this place. Burger was delicious and juicy. The basket of fries was huge. Drinks were super cheap. The dive bar atmosphere was great. Will definitely be back.

    Nestled in the heart of Oshkosh, Pete's Garage Bar offers an exquisite dining experience that marries elegance, refinement, and culinary brilliance. From the moment you arrive, the graciousness of the staff sets the tone for an evening of unparalleled delight. Warm smiles greet you at the door, and a seamlessly orchestrated team ensures that every moment is a celebration of hospitality. The ambiance is a perfect harmony of sophistication and comfort. The muted lighting, artful décor, and soft strains of classical music create an intimate atmosphere that invites you to savor every second. Tables are impeccably set, with attention to detail that hints at the experience to come. The true star of the evening, however, is the cuisine. Each dish is a masterpiece, skillfully crafted to balance bold flavors and delicate nuances. The cheese curds are a symphony of richness, while the burgers, paired with delicate mushrooms and onions, melt like butter. Pete's Garage Bar transcends mere dining; it's an art form. This is the kind of place where moments turn into memories, leaving you eager to return. A triumph in every sense! But if you go there, remember, bring your defibrillator and your Visa Card because Pete's Garage Bar is the official sponsor of poor life decisions yay doesn't promise you any of what I've written above, and they don't take American Express. Or some bullshit like that.

    When I want the best burger in the area and a good laugh, this is where I go. You have to be ready for some good humor dished your way and some smack talking. This bar isn't very large so I always come before dinner rush, but there's a huge back patio with lots of seating in summer. It's just delicious bar food and amazing burgers and a price you cannot beat. And if they mess up your order, it's the most entertaining thing hearing them talk crap about themselves.

    A local long term notorious bar & burger establishment with a unique edge. The menu names and signs around the bar tell you everything you need to know. It's a great place to "experience" once if you're from out of town. The environment is funny or offensive, depending on your personality so you'll love it or hate it. Great place for beer and some game at the bar you can play with the bartender..bar dice? Anyway, it is mostly a bar. I had went in recommendation that it was the best burger in town. I wasn't that impressed (thus the 3 stars) and I also got the pretzel sticks and the cheese was cold, very cold, but for drinks and fun it's a must try.

    Understand the attitude of the staff is part of the experience, but slow, dirty, and fair quality of the food isn't enough to bring us back.

    Ask the Community - Pete's Garage Bar

    If you come in to order carry out generally how long do you have to wait?

    It all depends the time you come in. If you come in the the afternoon, probably 15-20 minutes. If you come dinting lunch or dinner, could be 15-60 minutes.

    Do they have carry out? If so they don't answer their phone . Can you do it online or do you have to go in person?

    We have carry-out but we also run with a small staff. If the bar is busy with food and drinks, the phone usually goes unanswered or is off the hook. You can always come in… 

    Whats good besides burgers? Whats different from the other 100 pub/bars? Has anyone besides WI people tried this place?

    I've had the wraps and poppers as well as the burgers. You can't go wrong with any menu choice. They are good to every customer. Not just regulars. It doesn't matter who you are or where your from, Pete's will treat you like your a close friend…
