The owners and staff were all very friendly and quick to answer any questions about the menu. In addition to the food menu, there was also an extensive drink menu, both alcoholic and NA. We started with some cheese curds and pretzel bites. The pretzel bites were actually my favorite thing that I had the whole evening. They were pillowy soft and the smoked gouda beer cheese paired nicely. As a person who normally prefers mustard, I was impressed that I liked the cheese so much. For my main meal I got the fried chicken and waffles which comes with fries. I was surprised to see that when it came out, it was two waffles and two pieces of chicken. As I said before, pretty good portion size. The chicken was quite tasty with the hot honey, but the waffle was a little too sweet for me. With the waffle already being sugar pearl, once the honey saturated it was just a little too much for me. The fries were done nice with a crisp outside and soft inside. Some friends ordered the smash burger and it was also well received and a large portion size. Overall, great service and pretty good food. I hope to come back next time I'm in town.

We started with the cheese curds which were delicious especially with the homemade ranch. We ordered the tomato soup and grilled cheese special and gnocchi as our entrees. The gnocchi was awesome, super flavorful and the sausage added paired nicely. The tomato soup was also great on a chilly night. There was a little mix up with our food and the staff was so friendly and apologetic about it. We enjoyed our time here and were really happy with how fresh and flavorful the food was!

On our recent visit, we had a large party, but the staff handled it well. We sat in the back area, which was spacious and very clean. The younger guy that helped us was super friendly and able to handle our party with ease. The food was excellent and arrived to the table hot, fresh, and around the same time. My patty melt was amazing. It had tons of grilled onions, and the rye bread was toasty and buttery.

I had the famous recipe roast beef sandwich with sweet potato fries, my husband went for the grilled chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy, my sister had a grilled chicken sandwich, my brother-in-law ordered a mushroom burger, and my daughter-in-law got the crispy chicken wrap... everybody loved their meal and excited that Mary's Bluegill is catering a family wedding on the 4th of July and we decided we are coming back on Sunday for the prime rib special night. I'm happy to recommend this restaurant!

Nestled in the city of Haugen, you will for sure find yourself wondering how and why this facility exists, yet I am forever grateful it does! We sat outside on the patio which has twinkle lights and overlooks a running creek. The trees above in the skyline are gorgeous and the entire experience is serene. We opted for the Heavenly Hibiscus which is a raspberry mimosa with an edible flower. This drink was delightful and fresh! For food, we split the charcuterie board which was filled with grapes, almonds, two types of cheese, crackers and salami. We also split the pizza and were happy that we could pick our own toppings for each side. One pizza was the perfect size for two! There was one canned beer and a sangria ordered as well. While truly a 5 star experience, I did think it was odd that the plates and water cups were paper as everything else was elegant and upscale. This observation is not enough to damage any lower score, yet I am still calling it out so others are aware / genuinely curious on why this would be ? None the less - Thank you for the lovely experience, The Creamery! Looking forward to my next visit.

Who wants to stand for 3 hours? The average age of attendees guessing was around 45, plus there were people who had just skied the race, think they want to stand for 3 hours? I know you were just trying to squeeze as many people inside as possible and make more money, but this bar isn't 1st Avenue and Cable, WI isn't the twin cities. Your staff were excellent and the drinks were great, the band was great, but whoever manages or owns this place made a big mistake today by having no seating.

The 5-star reviews describing this place as a cocktail lounge or having met interesting people must be locals having a laugh at those of us who were looking for something unique in WBL.

They had a decent bar for mixed drinks but only serve Heggie's pizza for food. They only take cash--unless you're a regular (then they'll take your plastic).
