    After hiking in the area my part stopped in to Tippy Canoes for some food. We were promptly greeted and chose to sit outside in the patio. I ordered the Kickin Chicken sandwich with fries and it was very delicious! The lettuce, peppers, and tomatoes on it were fresh. The flavors came together well and really hit the spot! I was very pleased with the meal. The service left a bit to be desired, they weren't very quick about things and they were a bit unpleasant. However it didn't take away from the experience too much. Overall I would stop in again!

    We stopped in to Tippy Canoe's on our way home from a camping trip. Our family of 6 loved that they had coloring pages for a coloring contest. We all participated :) We had great service and all of us loved our food. It was a very comfortable yet lively atmosphere. My side salad was superb- the red onions had the perfect bite, seasoned croutons and a very flavorful homemade 1000 island. Our kids begged that we stop here again next time we camp.

    One of my favorite cities is along the St. Croix River in Wisconsin, near the border of Minnesota, and Tippy Canoes is one of my 2 favorite places to visit when I'm in town. This is a very scenic city to visit when in the area, and Tippy's is always so much fun to spend time with friends when I do visit. I usually come in for their really yummy and seasonal cocktails, along with their Happy Hour food. They have the best burgers during HH, and the servers are always so fun to chat with. I'm lucky to have the best of friends who live in the area, so I get that "regulars" benefit, along with being an out-of-towner from CA. I've always been happy with my food choices and the staff is great at suggesting things when I'm having trouble deciding. They also have really tasty HH Chicken Strips that I'll share at the table. I've sat inside a couple times, with our table ordering off the regular menu too, and everyone was happy with their food / drinks. Sitting outside on the patio on a summer day/night or in the fall (the fall is gorgeous by the river!) is really the perfect way to dine ~ if you haven't stopped in at Tippy's, it's a great place to visit when in Osceola!

    Wild Rice Soup was super creamy

    If you ever get stuck in the city of Osceola during their annual parade, try a pit stop at Tippy Canoes! Haha, we weren't planning to go here, but had a great time anyway. Food was great, the Vikings football game was on a big screen inside the bar area, and I really enjoyed the beautiful outdoor patio. The service was a bit slow, but I think they only had one waitress for the entire outdoor area. Honestly, she may have had to wait on tables inside too. But, we weren't in a hurry to get anywhere that day so we just tried to enjoy the sunshine.

    The bathroom was my first stop. The one-open stall didn't have toilet paper on either roll. I shouted to a friend who came in the restroom shortly behind me to get me some TP from the stall she was heading to. It also was empty. Someone verbally agreed to get a host. When my water was coming, I was super excited to see it was served with lemon. I expressed to the waitress, yay, lemon, and then saw the hair on my lemon. I said to her, oh, and a whisker took it off and rubbed it onto my napkin. She did nothing. I didn't drink the water. Hair is a huge turnoff. The walleye fingers were ok but had a lot of breading and pretty greasy.

    Chicken wonton tacos are the best appetizer I ever had!!  I had two orders!!!

    Food is very yummy! Great service and allowed my friend I to catch up and occupy a table (with a good tip of course) pretty much the entire time of business!! Thank you for your great hospitality!!!

    Ahi entree

    We had an outstanding dinner here, way beyond expectations. The Champagne Mushroom soup was delicious, full of mushrooms and rich and flavorful. One of the best soups we've had anywhere. The Ahi entree for $19 or so was enough for two easily- who serves a 10 oz piece of Ahi?? Seared, sesame coated and rare, it was perfection. The accompanying broccolini was perfectly cooked as were the roasted red potatoes. The New York was rare as ordered and excellent with the mushrooms ordered for the topping. Service was great and we will come here every time we are in the area. I highly recommend this restaurant, it is a gem and has a huge menu and something for everyone.

    Lunch today after another successful hike nearby! New Glarus on tap! Hopefully Tenley (our server) didn't mind our large group! I loved the Lunch Fish Fry Special (2 pieces of battered/fried cod with French fries). The walleye sandwich was recommended as well. Best deal: $4.75 for a 16 oz Spotted Cow tap!

    Made a quick stop for a snack after visiting Cascade Falls. Your classic small town bar. I ordered…read morethe sweet potato fries with seasoned sour cream and thought they were so yummy!!! They were different than the usual suspect. Cooked so they were nice and crispy. I thoroughly enjoyed them. I also got the tap root beer in frosted glass and that was so refreshing. As a root beer snob, I thought it was delicious. Our waitress was wonderful, very sweet. We were in and out pretty quick, but it was also during a slow time of day.

    Stopped by this place after doing the train fall color tour. Located a few blocks down which is…read morewalkable distance. Interesting small town. Walked in and it seemed busy as we were coming in around lunch hour. We decided to grab a table and waited for a staff member. It took awhile before someone greeted us. It seems like there was only 2 people working running the bar and tables. Took awhile for our drinks and got our menus. I read a caption in their menu and it says it's not fast food and service may take approx 30 minutes or so. I thought that was interesting. We finally got to order our food and that took some little time too. Server was nice. I ordered a Swiss mushroom burger with onion rings. It rained out good. When trying to get our bill and pay, we eventually had to track down someone to pay our bills.

    We stopped by the Shafer Bar and Grill for a quick bite to eat. Turns out, it was not a quick bite…read moresince we waited over an hour for our food (which was a few tacos and a burger). It did look to be pretty understaffed and the server was friendly, but she never checked in on us after we ordered and there was no transparency about the delay. When we did get our food, it was pretty good but there was no apology or anything about the wait. It was also a very small place with only a few customers in it so I was a little confused about the whole situation. It was disappointing, but maybe it was just a one-off experience. May try again!

    We ate here for the first time on a Friday night. While the bar and restaurant were clean, and the…read morefood was very good, the service absolutely sucked. I don't know who if anyone was managing but whomever it was wasn't doing their job. We joined our friends for dinner there. We sat down, and no kidding, after 15 minutes of not even acknowledging our presence we had to ASK to put in a drink order!! I mean the place wasn't busy at all, and there's no way they didn't see us. It took another 10 minutes for them to take our food order, and then after 30 minutes, and watching others who came in after us getting their food, we asked about ours...they forgot to put our food order in and blamed it on the printer in the kitchen. If it was the printer then why did others get their food?!? So they lied on top of it. Then the four people who ordered burgers got their meals, but they forgot me because I ordered a bacon chicken ranch wrap. When they brought my wrap after I had to ask for it, there was NO CHICKEN in the wrap! I was so hungry I ate it anyway. But really?!? Where was the manager? More importantly where was the owner?!? Neither one gave a damn about us! We won't be back. Even if the food is good, and the place is clean, awful service ruins the entire experience. BTW - we tipped our server well anyway...
