Prime Rib itself was good, but a little disappointed with canned mushrooms as an add on. Had I known they were not fresh or sautéed, I would have passed. The included salad was also good, it had broccoli and egg in addition to the normal salad toppings. I passed on the included potato and roll (not pictured) (I'm keto). The venue was clean and inviting and service was great. Overall, not bad - we also added a cup of soup for the burger. $54 without tip.

From its straightforward,…read moreorder-at-the-bar menu with homemade Polish specialties as well as standard fare, to its nooks and crannies that make for intimate seating for groups of any size, it is an affordable place to relax amongst of an eclectic collection of farm implements, vintage signage and more than a little of the macabre. You and your fellow guests will have much to talk about as you wander around its sprawling outdoor spaces. Stop by for a music night or even just a slow hang and you'll want to share your experience, including its lack of cannabis smell. Staff are polite, friendly and are more than willing to share its little nuances. Located just east of the 294 tollway, off of Dempster St. or Golf Rd. exits.

We finished off the meal sharing a slice of hot peach pie with vanilla bean ice cream. It was all fantastic.

Consistently busy over the years and for good reason. I've been here a few times and I've never been disappointed with the service or the food. It's a dark, cozy little restaurant bar but with so much character and history. Service is friendly and efficient. I love that the food I've ordered here has always exceeded my expectations with the seasonings and quality of ingredients used. Reasonably priced too! If you don't have a reservation, you may end up waiting for a table in the back area at a high top but it's a great opportunity to enjoy one of their great drinks in the meantime!

As visitors from out of state, this was the very first restaurant we visited and unfortunately it…read moreleft a terrible first impression. We quite literally came here straight from the airport. To make matters worse, we had not eaten anything substantial all day and had actually looked this restaurant up weeks before our trip while researching places to eat the infamous Wisconsin fish fry, so we were really looking forward to the experience. The experience started off poorly when our party was essentially scolded by the hostess for sitting at a table that apparently needed to be cleaned for the wait list. To make matters worse, the busser laughed and joked that we were "in trouble," to which I could only respond, "Sounds like it." Not exactly the welcoming atmosphere you'd hope for as a first time visitor. The fish fry was decent our tab came out to $150 for 5 people, but the service was absolutely subpar and our tip reflected that. We also had to send back two drink glasses because they were dirty one still had lipstick on it, and another had food stuck to the inside of the glass. Overall, this was a very disappointing dining experience. Between the unprofessional treatment, lackluster service, and cleanliness issues, I would not recommend stopping here. There are plenty of other restaurants worth trying instead.

Hometown old school bar and restaurant. Has a Cheers feel to it

Went with my friends last night and the bartender Heather was extremely rude and was aggressively IDing us twice and the second time she IDed us, she barged into the bathroom while my friend still had her pants down. She was rude while taking our orders and giving dirty looks. Lexi and Kelli the other two bartenders there were incredibly sweet and we loved the service they provided!

He had already ordered a grilled chicken wrap which was served with French Fries. It was fantastic, complimented with lettuce tomato and onion. Rob was drinking a Miller Lite bottle while I had a Tito's lemonade. The pizza was 1/2 off tonight, however I decided to try the Brisket pizza which is considered a specialty pizza so I didn't receive it for 1/2 off, but I didn't care I wanted to try it. It was awesome it was thin crust and I was so excited that I had leftovers. The establishment was clean, along with the bathroom. I was impressed with the service and greeted right when I walked in the door. The crowd was small, however everyone knew each other since they were regulars. I will be returning. It was a wonderful experience for a first time visitor, I live in WI and this place was worth the drive. They have many specials during the week which make the drive worth it. Friday is all you can eat fish fry with a choice of beer battered, baked cod, or sea bass. I had a wonderful Sunday afternoon here. Thank you for a wonderful experience. I met Lisa the owner who suggested adding the wonderful stingin' honey garlic sauce to Rob's chicken wrap. Once Lisa left for the day, Donna took over and she met our every need.

Our cousin knew of the Blue Goose and assumed they had fish. He was right. As we walked in (around 4:30 pm on the 4th of July), it was loud. This was due to a large group standing about, about to leave. Once they were gone and we were seated at a low 4-top table in a corner by the arcade games, the noise level was great. A server was by within a few minutes of us sitting down. We' looked over the menu already, so we placed our drink and dinner order with her. She was very pleasant. We ordered: - Fried Cod with Fries and Coleslaw - Fried Walleye with Fries and Coleslaw - Fried Catfish Tacos with Potato Pancakes and Apple Sauce - We had beers too: Summer Shandy x 2 and Spotted Cow The beer was cold and refreshing. The food came maybe 10 minutes later. I had the 2-pc Fried Walleye and it was fabulous! Two large filets, lightly breaded and fried to perfection. And so tasty. Our cousin had the Cod and enjoyed it as well. My wife had the Fried Walleye Tacos and enjoyed them too. As this was her first time here, she didn't know the tacos would come completely dressed with the coleslaw on the tacos already or she would have ordered the coleslaw on the side. Her potato pancakes were very good. And while the rustic, hand-cut fries were good, I liked the potato pancakes more and will get them next time. My wife and I each took half our meals home and will enjoy them for lunch tomorrow. We had a few questions about the area and asked random staff who passed by and they always knew the answers. Can't say enough for how friendly the team here was today. We can recommend the Blue Goose for drinks and food - especially the Fried Walleye! I hope we make it back here on our next visit to the area.
