Although the kitchen closed at 9:00 PM on a Saturday, they were willing to stay open to accommodate our family since they knew we were coming. Becca was super friendly and met all of our needs.

Walked in on a Wednesday evening. It was obvious I wasn't a local, as I waited for numerous…read morepatrons on a first name basis to be served before me. Very disappointing. 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 couldn't hardly stand to eat while smelling such a fowl smell. Cool concept, but needs better ventilation to not smell so terrible. Cannot recommend at this time on that alone unfortunately.

My husband order the daily special fish, he said was good. 2 of us had the tips, they were ok, not bad, not good, ok.

Our 4th person had the chicken sandwich, she was good. The meal was not bad, but nothing to get excited about - perhaps the cooking style more geared toward the locals??

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!
