One of my favorites! Great burgers, daily specials and drinks with a huge deck that has a great view of Koshkonong creek. Staff is always great and there's always something fun going on. Lots of very friendly locals that are happy to chat with anyone who comes in the door. Definitely a must stop if you're in the area...either by vehicle, biking Camrock trails, on the motorcycle, snowmobiling the trails or on a UTV ride! read more

From the moment we walked in we felt welcome. We ordered food and it came out fast, hot and delicious. Prices are amazing. They also have a big deck with covered spots for shade. Will definitely be back! read more

I moved near here about 1.5yrs ago... There are new owners as of mid to late 2022. They are married couple and they are all over everything handling business, lol. Point is all these reviews are from before them. The place is clean and they rearranged and the pool table is now usable. I have zero complaints and have always received excellent service. I cannot speak about the food as I never eat at any bar but I can say the place is well run. read more

It's hard to believe that this is the first review of Heather's. This is a little gem in the Middle of Nowhere. Sure, the locals will tell you that Rockdale was almost the Capitol of Wisconsin...but it's located in a tiny little village just outside of Cambridge. One of the few little rural watering holes I've ever experienced that embraces 'city-folk' with open arms. Not one of those bars you walk into, conversations stop, and everyone turns to look at you. That said, it is a bar of local farmers, laborers and folks from the area. But the classic mid-western friendliness is alive and well at Heather's. Perhaps because is is so close to Cambridge, which has a tremendous amount of tourism in the summer, or perhaps because of the owner, Heather, whom I've never heard a disparaging word out of her mouth for as long as I've known her. She greets everyone with a smile, a sincere 'hello', and follows it up with a stiff drink and a massive amount of food if you're hungry. The food is tasty, but if you're watching your weight (or your arteries) you've come to the wrong place. Her Rockdale burger should probably be outlawed in most states. Delicious, but roughly a ton of ground beef on a bun with all the fixins' and enough fries to put most people into cardiac arrest before you can say "Uff-Da". For most normal people, it's enough food to feed an entire family for a day or so. She also serves up some wonderful specials. My favorite were her gyros. You'd never expect an amazing gyro to come out of a little, rural bar...but she's perfected the art. Certainly worth trying. The staff that surrounds Heather is just as friendly and accommodating as Heather. Drinks are served up fast, strong and with a smile. While largely a 'beer bar', they actually have a fairly good selection of liquors. Frequent live music (ranging from bluegrass to 'Harley Rock' to top 40 DJs), incredibly cheap drinks and food, and...when I was last there...WiFi (just in case you like to drink and surf like I do). The view off the back patio is stunning, and there is ALWAYS something going on. This is really one of these little rural dive bars that is a dying breed. Walk in the door, and you're an equal. If you're friendly, the patrons are friendly. If you're a pompous ass, you'll get confronted. So, if you're in the area, want to hang out with some down-to-earth people (who happen to wear cammo baseball caps, just finished milking cows, and will tell you everything you ever wanted to know about football, deer hunting and fishing), then stop on by. Well worth the trip to the Middle of Nowhere. read more

We stopped here with some friends who have been here before, and said it was a great bar. We walk in. I ask the bartender what type of seltzers do they have. Her response,"do you have legs? Walk over, and check for yourself. I've been having a bad day already." Fine, whatever, I checked it out. Placed our order. After a little bit, decided to give her another chance. We were looking at the menu to decide some appetizers. Asked about a couple items, "nope. We're out of those." Then I asked about another, and what it actually was. Her response, "yes we have those. You have the menu, read the description yourself." I looked at my friends, and said "we're out of here." I don't care how bad of day you're having, you don't treat your customers with disrespect from the get go. She treated the regulars just fine. read more

Heather's bar may be a little out of the way, unless you golf on Wednesday evenings with the guys for $5.00 golf night! It resides in Rockdale (don't blink) just outside of Cambridge Wisconsin. It's a great place to go for a beer or a burger. They have many specials including one of our favorites,... Gyros! Come to Heather's and feel that warm county welcome! Laura S. Baker Ready? Set,...Sell! Home Staging & ReDesign read more

This place is solid. Although I must admit, I'm partial to places where you can eat free peanuts and then just toss them on the floor like you don't give a f***. And it's totally cool! Now if you're an uppity hipster-city dweller, you won't like the beer selection. While you can get the Wisconsin standard-issue Spotted Cow, there isn't much of a selection beyond the typical Bud Lights, Coors, etc.... But what makes this place is the awesome menu. You can't go wrong with any of the burger selections. You just can't. I've also had the gyros, which are a Wednesday special. They turned out a little dry, but otherwise tasty and impressive. They have a huge beer garden too! It's a gem in the middle of nowhere. Glad I stopped by. read more

This was the worst meal we have ever had! Took forever. The "home made pizza" was on a cardboard serving plate. With the ingredient label on bottom! Frozen store bought pizza! Worst 50.00 I've ever spent!!! Don't waste your time read more

Not good service. Anna was busy with the guys and didn't have my drink needs in her awareness. Yep, cute, yep, owners daughter, but needs to take care of all of the customers. Just saying for a friend..... read more

I was planning a pizza party at a nearby park for a child's birthday on a Friday and I was pleasantly surprised when I called the day before and the owner offered to make us homemade pizzas even though it's the Monday special. She provided everything she knew we would need from the Parmesan cheese to the small plates to individual cups for serving the marinara to each child to cutting the breadsticks in half. She went the extra mile and served it with a smile! The bar also has a gorgeous view of the river and trees in the back and it was clean and well kept. And the homemade pizza was absolutely delicious! read more

Only hung good about this place is the service. Ordered two different tap beers....both flat. Soggy onion rings and soggy bacon. Will not be returning to this dive. read more

Loved this place! The bartender and cook were so friendly and the prices were amazing!

We stopped in for burgers at the bar, and the special was a chipotle bacon cheeseburger, with pepper jack cheese. The concept was great, but unfortunately, the burger was over-cooked and dried out. Two things impressed me, though. One was that the fries $2.00 extra) were served very fresh and piping hot, which is something I always hope for and rarely get. It was a very large portion of fries, and they were thick and golden on the outside, and had perfect texture on the inside. The second thing that impressed me was the attentive service at the bar ... friendly and great about keeping drinks filled. They also have a very nice outdoor deck with a great view of the river area. I like the concepts of their special burgers, but on the next trip, I will request that they cook them just a little bit less. read more

A diner and dive kind kind of spot, situated in a bucolic hamlet, that overlooks a creek with surrounding wetlands, a walking/ biking trail, and wildflowers galore. A gem of a find, well worth the drive. The double cheese burger, the daily special, was from paradise. And, there was even live music on the patio. Bikers have found this spot too;) read more

Great food and great service. I recommend the Friday fish fry and the cheese curds. Their bacon burger and Tuesday all you can eat chicken wings are really good too! read more

The bar looks awesome from the outside & is nicely located with great parking. Once you walk thru the door, you realize that the owner or manager just doesn't care. The place was absolutely filthy!! The bathrooms were gross & appear to have not been cleaned in weeks!! They toilet partitions were covered with dirt & the floor appears to have not been cleaned in months!! There was grease, dirt & nasty stuff slopped up the door jamb that was caked on it. I won't be going back again. People need to know that a little elbow grease goes a long way & keeping a filthy place that serves food is AUWFUL!!! read more

Took my wife there for lunch and my neighbors there for drinks. Excellent food and drink yet inexpensive when compared to the rest of the area. People were friendly and staff was quick to get you what you need. Oh and they have an outdoor deck that overlooks parts of camrock trail! read more

Had the $10 homemade pizza and pitcher of beer deal [only on Mondays].. In one word, delicious! Service remains top notch. This is just a great tavern/grill! read more

Just crushed a "Big Rockdale". Listed at 10oz, it was closer to 12. Every aspet of the burger was legit (cheese melted just right, fried onions perfect, bun toasted and meat cooked to med. rare.) Service friendly and attentive. I was in and out quick but will be back without question. read more

The services was terrible. We sat there for so long that we left before someone even came to take our order. They also didn't have a very good menu selection. read more

Food is average at best and management is not nearly as friendly as in years past. Place could use a good cleaning, especially bathrooms. Sad to see such a cool bar slowly go down hill. read more
