Service was slow for food but we enjoyed the wait. I did notice a problem with the draft beer serving. I ordered a pint of beer and when I finished it I changed to a 12oz can of a different beer. I used the same glass and the 12oz can filled the "pint" glass to the top. The bartender gave me an extra pour to make up for the difference but why are they using 12oz glasses the same size as pints?

Inside view--plenty of space and the food is spectacular at a reasonable price

Checked Yelp and read up a bit on Grizzly's; sounded interesting place…read more I was a bit confused with 2 Grizzly's but that was cleared up once we arrived. This is our type of bar/grill. We sat at the bar and quickly waited on by Darrel who is bartender and owner. There was a specials list for the weekend, New York strip; ribs and prime rib. The prices are a little high but what we seen the servings almost justified the price. We weren't quite as hungry to justify a steak or rib; thus we went with a side salad and chicken steak/w side salad. The salad was decent size and the chicken was covering over 1/2 the plate. My wife had just a salad. The chicken was tender and seasoned well. The sauce is a secret sauce of the bar! Drinks were good and priced well. While we were there I seen an order of ribs by a patron; they did look really good and by what I could tell he liked them but he couldn't eat them all. A patron sitting next to us ordered the prime rib; its smoked prime rib and flash finished over the grill that doesn't affect the finished doneness. It was huge at about 1" thick and done perfectly inside to the patrons delight. It's $40 but probably won't finish it all. Definitely when in the area will stop back.

My husband commented that it tasted like a chef was in the kitchen. Think metropolitan, high-end restaurant quality food! Prices are very reasonable for the quantity and quality. The ambience is charming yet fresh and modern. Very clean. I would suggest to dress resort casual or nicer for an evening meal. The service was attentive and welcoming. There is room for a large group. Outside seating is available, but I wouldn't recommend because it is near a busy traffic light which would detract from the experience. Don't hesitate to try the Courthouse Pub for a delicious, memorable meal.

He sent go around the back of the bar put a menus on the 2 seats next to you & you'll be good. DEF not the case when this elderly couple come in with an appearance of regulars (chatter boxes with the bartenders/staf) and just pick up our saved menus from the 2 seats directly next us & sat down. I immediately jumped up & said those 2 seats are saved for a couple that were literally right behind them. They were jabbering with the 2 bartenders and my military voice must have fell on def ears. THAT piss me off. Told me friends that the fish better be the best NE Wis has to offer or my wife & I will NEVER return to pour a beer on the fire ever to save the place from going down. How friggin rude for a Friday Night Fish Fry. So we 4 took a tall still table & waited to place our food order all the whilst pounding an Alaskan red & 3 old fashions. Now mind ya I'm older then these 2 geezers but they just thought those seats had their name on them for centuries. Bollocks & Rubbishly Rude, Hope ya choke on a fix bone for your disrespect of my party. 22 mins go by we are escorted to our sit down table & I asked if anyone else wanted a top off, to which we agreed did. Sittin in front of the keg spouts clearly see me with a empty pint, and three old fashions glasses. And waited for nearly 20 mins for our second round & when I sat down to eat me walleye pike & it's as cold as it was caught right outside the pub. Im not gonna waster 4 pieces of damn fine swimmers on ignorance of the barmaids I smothered them with tartar & mayo & gobbled them done. No sorries, no apologies dididnt even ask how the fish suppa was. I'm like WTH. Our friends who live 7 miles from them were horrified. They eat there EVERY Friday & once during work week. Hell the fish we get @ Lodge Kohler seafood butter had better flavor. Nothing a few grams of Malden sea salt of both straight and smoked could have cured. None of THOSE salts were even on the menu or table. Needless to say, my wife & I will return with our freinds of 45 yrs but the hauttie tautti rubbish has got to be left at door. Just shameful.
