    We tried their fish fry, 3 pc panko crusted fried cod and 3 pc baked cod with Cajun seasoning; both…read morewith potato pancakes. Their panko crusted cod was good. It had very mild flavor with thin piece of cod. It didn't seem to be homemade more likely purchased that way and just cooked on-site. The baked cod came out very hot in the dish it was cooked in. The seasoning had very mild flavor. The potato pancakes were good but again not homemade. They provided a nice serving of applesauce; that had very good flavor. We both liked the coleslaw. It was made with diced cabbage that was seasoned well. Our server did a good job. She was very attentive and provided refills of our beverages without being prompted. We love the facility. Nice large bar, both high top and regular height tables inside. Also a large outdoor patio with another bar, tent area with tables, and more tables on the open air part of the patio. They also have live music most weekends.

Tonight we went and ordered the French Onion soup, an item that is always on the menu and they were out. This happens almost every time we go, they are out of something we order. We then ordered the Turkey. Club In the menu it has turkey breast, bacon, shaved ham, choice of cheese stacked with lettuce, and tomato. NO where does it say Pickles. When I ordered I even said no pickles. I do NOT like pickles and all the pickle juice on my plate or sandwich! Well the sandwich came and it had Thick Sliced Pickles. It always ruins the meal for me. It's always SO loud there. It will be a while if we decide to return.

    RECOMMENDED I recently visited Charcoal Grill in Burlington,…read moreWisconsin with clients; I had an enjoyable time there. The food is excellent; I had a Brau Burger with cheese and fried onions on a Kaiser roll. The burger was charcoal-grilled to perfection: juicy and tender, and with plenty of flavour. There is also a 'fix-it' bar where you can get all the toppings you want for your burger, including lettuce, tomatoes, onions (red and white), pickles, and pickle spears. Everything was fresh and tasty. Our waitress was friendly and attentive, without hovering; she brought our drinks and our orders very quickly and was very nice to us. I'm sorry but I don't remember her name. I ordered an Arnold Palmer and it was really refreshing to enjoy this during the hot summer weather. The interior decor is somewhat industrial-chic I guess; I suppose it is popular with some people. The restaurant was very clean; the carpark and the grounds were absolutely spotless. Overall I enjoyed my visit very much, and would definitely return. RECOMMENDED

    As a young man, this place was new, and it used to be a treat to go to. My buddy suggested it and I…read morethought, hey, why not? Let's try it again. When I walked in and seen that they had no more alcohol, I knew this wasn't a good sign. The saving grace for this place was the waitress. She was a hard-working, friendly, helpful employee. I have to say, this place reminded me of a sick person in the hospital, dying, and it's only a matter of time before it's over. The waitress started out with saying there's no rotisserie chicken today. Another bad sign. I ordered a burger because I wanted that charcoal flavor that they promote. My buddy got a grilled chicken sandwich. I opted for soup because it was a healthier option than fries. I got their version of a patty melt, and the onions and bread kind of tasted "off." Old and rehashed beyond its days type "off." I eventually stripped both off of the sandwich, and went in for the burger. The burger had a strong cow taste, and I'm not saying that in a good way. The soup was edible, but nothing great. I used to love this place as a kid. Now, as I aged, so has the Charcoal Grill. They are a very sick patient, I suggest a DNR order be put in place for this patient. It was so bad that they probably should just step on this patient's feeding tube, and be done with the misery. I will not be back and I do not suggest anyone visit for the first time. It is a shell of its once decent quality and needs a resurrection. I give it two stars for the memories and the hard working waitress.

    Haven't visited much since new ownership took over so decided to return for 1/2 price pizza on…read more7-27-26. A familiar waitress was our server and that a definite plus Food came quickly as usual minus the cornmeal on the bottom of pizza ( not a problem for us) everything was great tasting and service great as well. Then came the bill... large thin crust meatlovers is advertised on the menu for $28. The bill charged us $18 instead of $14. Our other pizza was also priced not at a 50% discount. Asked our server if she could explain this difference she said when she started her shift she was told to ring things up this new way. Basic pizza is 50% off but all toppings are charged at regular price. That includes the specialty pizzas listed on the menu for a specific price. We figured we were charged $8 more than usual under this new policy. I'm not looking to get anyone in trouble just looking to expose what I think is false advertising. The original owner served true 1/2 price pizza and filled the restaurant last night the restaurant was really empty. I hope this isn't going to happen with other special nights ! It would be a real shame to lose a great restaurant that has a bar in a town where the normal is to have a bar that just happens to serve some food! Don't let this happen!
