So, why the low rating, you might ask. Well, as much as I loved the decor and vibe, the service and food just wasn't there. Trust me, I so wanted to walk away with that warm and fuzzy, but instead it was cold and "Meh." It was about 1 p.m. on a Wednesday afternoon. When my group first arrived it was pretty empty. Maybe 6 other people tops in the entire place. There was 8 of us, and we went into the back room where we could eat and also have a meeting. Ideal, right? Well the server (also the bartender), was nice enough, but she really didn't know the menu very well, and it's pretty simple. Nevertheless, we ordered drinks, then we were served said drinks in a timely fashion, and then ordered food. All good so far! The glitch? Our meals were piece mailed to us, if you will. A couple individual appetizers here, then one person would get his burger, then another. At one point about 5 of the 8 of us had completely finished our meals when the last 3 just got theirs. I'm sorry, but that's NOT how it's done. It's not cool! I don't think it was the server's fault, but the cook just didn't know how to multitask I guess. This is common restaurant style cooking, everyone gets their food roughly at the same time. That's why it's referred to as "Sharing a Meal." Now that nice young lady tried, but she could have easily sold me a second bloody marry, and almost all of my eating mates' beers were empty and she never once asked if we wanted another round. In addition to not satisfying the customer, that actually cost the owner money. The food? Pedestrian! I'm sorry, I know, I know. How dare I? Look, I'm new to Wisconsin, so all I have to go buy is what I know. And I know that I recently fell in love with the burger chain Culver's. Those burgers are the bomb! And they're "Fast Food." So surely a cool Sparta sports bar with amazing ambiance can match a fast food burger joint, right? Wa wa wa, wrong! I had a patty melt and it was small and dare I say, boring, and a little dry. Once again, I wanted so badly to love this joint, but they let me down. Maybe it was an off day? I hope so, because if they're enjoying the limited options this cool little town has and just mailing it in, that's not cool either. Nevertheless, you be the judge. Hopefully you'll have a better experience than we did. Cheers!

The cook came to me and told me about the AYCE chicken wings. I told him that sounded amazing and he brought me a plate of wings. When he sat it down, the bartender literally yelled at him and told him "that's not how we do it around here". I felt bad for the cook, as he had seen me sitting there for quite a while with no greeting or service. I wish I had gotten his name - he saved the day for me! The wings were on the small side, but very tasty. It was odd - they served them naked, but provided the different sauces in a squeeze bottle on the side. I am not sure if I would go back, based on the biased service and the inappropriateness of the bartender

I've been coming here for years; it's a wonderful bar/restaurant out in the sticks with an incredible view and atmosphere. The outside deck is a great place to gather with friends over a beer or old fashioned. The service is fast, friendly and efficient. My order was taken quickly and when the food came out it was piping hot. Good selection of beers included several quality non-alcoholic beers. I've had the pizza in the past and it's delicious. If you haven't come here to eat, you need to check this place out; you won't be disappointed. I highly recommend Norwegian Hollow Hideaway for food and/or drinks. It's a great ride in the UTV.

I've always liked the Sparta side of Fort McCoy better than Tomah, as it just seems more like an individual small town versus a big-box thoroughfare. What a wonderful recommendation, I had a fantastic visit. My co-worker can second the old fashioneds! Staff was super friendly and service was attentive. Clearly there are locals and regulars coming in that know each other by name, but being out-of-towners we were still treated the same and welcomed. We sat at the bar (always my preference), but there is plenty of restaurant seating if you come here with a group or with your family. They have a decent beer selection on tap, and the menu can cover pretty much all appetites. I ordered the veggie burger, which was somewhat generic but nevertheless tasty and I ate the whole thing. Overall, I'd say the food here is good - maybe nothing crazy unique, but good, especially with the somewhat limited options in the area if you want to stay away from chains and fast food. I will absolutely be back for another dinner and continue to try out options on the menu. I'd really love to do the fish fry if I'm ever here on a Friday night. But, who needs dinner when you have dessert?! OMG I'd seen some photos of their desserts online, and even though I'm not usually a dessert person, these photos drove me here that night! Wow. The Brandy Alexander is absolutely incredible. It's large but my co-worker and I each ordered our own (and finished it completely). Anyone can make a Brandy Alexander you sip from a cup... but this was like a soft serve goblet of ice cream with the booze mixed in throughout. The BEST. I will be back here every time I'm in the area just for this (and then good food and beer is always a nice add-on).
