We have never had a bad experience at Piggy's. I have tried the walleye and filet, and both were exceptional. Professional wait staff as well. Highly recommend it. read more

We love the Smokin Blues Lounge! They now run the full upstairs menu down in the lounge so you don't have to stick to sandwiches and appetizers. All the wonderful, unique menu items that we love about dining upstairs can now be enjoyed in the more relaxed atmosphere. And we have never heard a band there that we didn't like. read more

My favorite place to eat in LaCrosse. My husband and I like to go here on special occasions because the price is above average, but the food is phenomenol!!! Everything right down to the lettuce and wine is great and worth every penny to be spent read more

Had great service even though it was crowded. My Cajun Chicken was cooked perfectly. My wife's sirloin was tasty and tender. Thus was our first dinner in town. Great choice! read more

I liked this place a lot. There was a high-school jazz band playing while we were there eating dinner. It was pretty loud, so if your kids and such don't like loud places, then I wouldn't recommend it for that type of person. Waiter was extremely nice, and was very considerate and great at explaining things. (Also liked to run up and down the stairs) I had the Combo, Pulled pork, Chicken, And 1/4 rack of ribs. It came with a lot of vegetables on the side, I didn't eat those though. There was a choice of soup or salad, I chose the salad and went with the Parm&peppercorn. I never eat salads, And I should more often, because THAT was good. We also had chicken fingers, it came with the best honey mustard sauce in the world. It looks weird, but don't let it fool you. The little green things make it look a little awkward. All in all, I would go back to that place if I'm ever in town again. read more

A date night at this restaurant ended in culinary disappointment. The lunch has always been great so we assumed dinner would be equally so. We had a calamari appetizer and I ordered the seafood sampler. I've had better seafood at Red Lobster (not a huge fan of theirs either.) Calamari, shrimp, and scallops were so rubbery I didn't finish any of these portions - a personal first. The swordfish and salmon were very dry. My boyfriend ordered steak and that, at least, was better than par. I felt our meals were not worth the expense and would advise avoiding all seafood dishes. read more

Not our favorite restaurant in lacrosse. Food only okay, everything tastes smoked. I hear they are pretty tough on their employees and have large turner. Beautiful building. read more

Beautiful old building in downtown Lacrosse! Had an above average barbecue burger with spiral fries and house "fry sauce". Great Americana! My wife had a pulled pork sandwich and enjoyed every minute of it! If you want an above average dinner for an average price ($10-$15 per plate) then this is for you! read more

Love their lunch buffet! The breadsticks are the best. The raspberry lemonade is soooo good. Bathrooms are always clean

I've gone once. It was not good. Service was fine. Barbecue was awful. The ribs had a ketchup tasting sauce, and the chicken reminded me of the chicken I used to eat in the elementary school cafeteria. I'm going back for a work event. Hopefully next time it is better. read more

Went there for their "lotsa Pasta"....the food was very good, but the service was on the low end acceptability. Initial bar drinks were late/forgotten. Coffee order was never refilled - even after a request to the waitress. On another note, my wife and I went and found ourselves filled after the salad bar/pasta bar. We asked for a take-out box for the pasta that we could not eat, which was rejected. Obviously, we do not expect to eat our fill, then, get another bowl of pasta to take home. Our request was regarding our initial bowl of pasta...if we did not eat it, it is wasted. This is the main reason for the lower score. We did not try to "scam" the restaurant. A simple observation by the waitress, would have realized that this was our only bowl of pasta for the night. Unfortunately, she did not: A) Pay attention to patrons; and B) Realize that it was our initial/only bowl of pasta we had. While it may be a "company policy" to not provide take-out boxes for the "Lotsa pasta", we have seen happen multiple times. read more

My girlfriend and I frequent piggys and we love it. The prime rib is to die for. Only once have we ever not been really happy with the food. Service is always great and food is great at supper and the lunch buffet is excellent as well. read more

Piggy's lunch soup and salad bar is a great value for only $9 per person. It includes all you can eat salad, breadsticks as well as a choice of 3 soups. Nice dining room and attentive service. read more

Went to the lounge tonight for dinner and had amazing service! I am a restaurant server myself so usually I am quite critical. Jay was our server and since I have just gotten my wisdom teeth out, I have quite a limited diet. His suggestions were spot on, and even thought he seemed quite busy; he still provided great attentive service. My boyfriend got the prime rib French dip sandwich and it was awesome! read more

The ambiance is the dining room is unimpressive, cheap looking actually. The pork chop I had was fairly good but the order also included ribs and pulled pork- which were salty and below par (have had better at the drive thru unfortunately). Did have a Caesar Salad that was good so all was not lost. Can not recommend this restaurant which is unfortunate. read more

Nice Place, went there for a business meeting over lunch. Good food, service, can't complain.

Upstairs, in the dining room, the food is good but spendy. Downstairs in the bar the atmosphere is much more relaxed and so is the menu. Good place to go no matter what mood your in. read more

Piggys is the best in La Crosse. The food is always excellent, never had bad service ever and I find the prices very reasonable. I would highly recommend Piggy's to anyone who has not been there. Prime Rib is sooo good. Lunch salad bar is the best ever! Great establishment, with great staff and friendly and inviting service. read more

Great value and food. I had the tuna sandwich and the food was literally spilling off the plate - good thing my kids were there to clean up!

Worth the walk on icy sidewalks. Blackened Steak Medallions were excellent (recommended by Mike.)

I'm hoping as many people as possible see this and take heart. My friends and I were visiting LaCrosse for three days to see the chapels and shrines of the area. My mom was part of the group and we were also celebrating her 98th birthday. Mom uses a transport chair. Our original choice for dinner was the WATERFRONT restaurant. We heard good things about them. We went there just before 4PM and were told we had to sit outside and eat. Mom can't manage the heat so we asked to be seated in the dining room. We were told they did not open until 5. After three attempts to get them to loosen their policy we left. They REFUSED TO ACCOMMODATE US!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. Soooo my group and I left the restaurant and headed to PIGGY'S. We had eaten at PIGGY'S on a previous visit to the area and were quite pleased. Let me tell you.......................PIGGY'S did everything the WATERFRONT did not... Even tho they also did not open their lounge until 4, they took us right in...offered us waters as they worked to open. The manager was there on the spot to make us feel comfortable and welcome. Even tho their dinner menu did not kick in until 5PM, they offered us any selection from lunch or dinner we selected. All they asked was to give them a bit of time to get it ready....WHAT A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE....the food was amazing...the service was impeccable....truly one of the nicest dining experiences. SOOOOOOO to any one out there.. try PIGGY'S...If you are hosting a convention, an event, a networking event, a chamber of commerce event, a Rotary event, a Kiwanis event...don't go anywhere else. GO TO PIGGY'S and tell them SEVEN grateful ladies from Chicago appreciated all they did to make them feel welcome and serve them a wonderful meal they will remember for a long, long time. When we come back to LaCrosse, PIGGY'S is the ONLY choice for our dining experiences. debi Ross Orland Park IL read more

Consistently the best place to eat it town. I've never had anything I didn't love at Piggys. A little spendy compared to other places in town, but the food is top notch. I most recently tried the prime rib, which was heavily smoked and one of the most delicious things I've ever put into my mouth. Wine was delivered in perfect style. If you're looking for a really great night out with a significant other, this is the place to go. I wouldn't ever bring my kids though... this is the type of place you get a babysitter for. read more

We went to Piggy's for my birthday and I am very particular about what I eat so I was hoping to splurge with a fabulous meal. We were seated in a private room which was nice and cozy. We started the meal with portobello mushroom and shrimp appetizers. Both were amazing. Everyone ordered something different, but all of our meals (9) were very tasty. Jen, our waitress, was super. I would definitely go back to Piggys's anytime I am in Lacrosse, WI. read more

I cannot begin to even say how excellent this restaurant was! This was my very first time coming to Piggy's and we came in a group of 8. Immediately from walking through the doors I noticed how clean and very classy this restaurant was. We were seated in a private group room and we started with our drink orders, which came immediately. We then moved onto our Entrees, I ordered the Bacon Wrapped Steak Tenderloins with the Yukon Gold Mashed Potatoes and a Side Salad. The Tenderloins were cooked perfectly 10/10 because most places mess that up. Either its too raw or cooked way too long.(This was Perfect)! The Mashed Potatoes were also delicious (very creamy). Everyone else enjoyed their meals too. After Dinner we moved onto Desserts. Everyone had one and my boyfriends parents got free desserts. We all shared a Dessert Platter and I personally ordered a Raspberry Cheesecake and that was fantastic definitely did not taste frozen, It tasted soo fresh. We had a wonderful fun experience, the only thing I noticed that I didn't care for was we only had one very sweet waiter for our entire party which kind of seemed unfair to him to handle a large group by himself. I think a recommendation would be to at least have 2 waiters per room. Otherwise this gets a 10/10 from me. read more

The prize of La Crosse restaurants. Top notch service and the courses were beautiful and ever so tasty. Looking forward to my next trip to Piggy's! It's a must-eat. read more

Great food- horrible customer service and dining manager- absolutely rude and unprofessional. There's too much competition in La Crosse to have to deal with screaming manager intimidating long-time patrons. Good food needs to be complimented by good service, not a manager yelling inappropriately at customers. Observed this very uncomfortable situation with manager during evening shift and won't be returning. read more

I've been in town quite a bit for work over last few months and have sampled almost everything in downtown La Crosse. Piggy's stands out as one of my favorites. Everything has been good, but the seafood is what really sets it apart in my opinion. Swordfish and salmon were of good quality and prepared perfectly. Soup and salad bar is a favorite as well for a quick lunch. read more

I completely agree with the less than favorable reviews. I've eaten here a few times, the salad bar is good. But every meal/ sandwich I've EVER ordered is not good, period. I too hear the owners are not pleasant to work for. I've stopped going there all together. read more

Overrated! The pork-ribs were dry, McDonald's McRib had more taste, the server talked too fast and too much and the menu was overpriced. The hostess laugh when we did not have a reservation. Go to Texas Roadhouse, better ribs. read more

VERY DISAPPOINTED!!! I have been to Piggy's before this time I ordered the shrimp and scallop meal and opted for extra shrimp instead of the scallops and a baked potato instead of the cheddar Mash. The waitress failed to tell me that there was an upcharge of $3 for the baked potato and I got a total of 6 shrimp this hardly seem like extra. I've been here several times and I'm willing to pay good money for a good meal however a $30 for 6 shrimp and a baked potato seems like a rip-off!!!! I will NOT be returning to Piggys! read more

Very disappointed with last meal at Piggy's. My ahi made me very sick. My husband's steak was way over-cooked. You have to pay extra for any different selection of side. For example...they only serve a very high calorie mixed potato...if you want something more simple,you pay extra. The upgraded salad was not anything special. The waitress spilled wine down the sides of both of our glasses making a mess on the table...how hard is it to practice this with water or something? We won't return! read more

Service was good. Food was great. Been there a few time since it's close to the hotel. My favorite so far has been the pasta bar.

Excellent food in a warm atmosphere. Ben is our requested server and excellent at connecting with everyone in the table party. Very attentive and fun. Request Ben! read more

We came in for an early dinner on a Saturday. All our meals were very good. The pulled pork and chop on the combo plate were very good. I've had better ribs, but they were good. The desserts were also very good - the crème brûlée cheesecake was especially good. Service was very good. All in all, I'd go back. read more

We've chosen Piggy's as our go-to special occasion restaurant in the past with happy results, but our holiday family dinner last night was awful!! it started with a 10 minute wait for a server and a terrible appetizer platter. The pork belly and jam was tasty, but the calamari was under cooked and bland, the crab cakes were 80% bread crumbs, and the stuffed mushrooms needed salt; yuk. The bisque was OK but the house salad was seriously overdressed. Entrees, even worse. The shrimp and sea scallop fettuccine Alfredo was cooked improperly, the scallops had no sear and everything was swimming in gobs of cheese. Why is there cheese in Alfredo sauce, which is butter, cream, salt, pepper, and garlic? The sauce for the short ribs had been so over-reduced they were inedible. All you could taste was salt, salt, salt. Last, but not least, the duck. This was OK. The fat hadn't been rendered enough but once I removed that (which is a shame) the meat itself had good flavor. When we complained about the short ribs we were told this is how they were suppose to taste; which is ridiculous. We've eaten amazing food around the country, on cruises, and abroad. We have no problem spending over $120 on a special occasion dinner but the food at Piggy's was anything but special! We definitely need a NEW local special occasion restaurant... read more

Not worth the price. Food is served in plastic dollar store tiny plates look like should be under a tea cup. Food was cold when it arrived meat tastes like the animals are fed hormones and I recommend to keep walking when you see this establishment. read more

Service was excellent. Food was very good too. Lacquered Salmon was fresh and tasty. Highly recommend the Combo of Piggy's famous. Would definitely go back. read more

Wow!! A hidden gem! Directly across from my hotel, off the Mississippi River with spectacular views! Outstanding service and great menu!

I began my trips to Piggy's way back in the day when they were located on the river. I would go out of my way to stay overnight just to have their ribs. These were the best ribs I have ever eaten. They always gave the message that the guests should not worry about the pink inside of the baby back ribs as that's how they were prepared. Sauce was not needed and they were served as is(although you get sauce). My mouth still waters at the thought. When they moved to the new location something changed in their cooking process. I ate there last night and once before and the ribs were commonplace with sauce all over. These were the same as ribs I could find at any restaurant that served ribs. However, the service was excellent and the young guy as my server could not have been more efficient and pleasant. And the salad was outstanding. I'm guessing the other entrees available were great but the only reason I sometimes stayed in La Crosse was Piggy's Baby backs. Please go back to the old recipe! read more

Service was amazing! The waitresses were on the ball and great to interact with, then I give 5 stars. The food on the other hand was below average and high priced for what it was. The food I give 2 stars and that is being generous read more
