    Happy hour 2 to 5 Monday through Thursday as of July 2, 2026

    Since I'm a fan of medium rare burgers, I rarely go to places that serve smash burgers... but I knew this place did, as I had looked at the menu and photos. That's on me. Meal: -The classic burger was solid. I got exactly what I ordered -The battered cauliflower was overpriced for the serving size, but true to its name, the hot sauce on the side was HOT! The items themselves were a touch greasy. I often order them, and this was not one of the top spots Service: - Great - Plus no surcharge for using a credit card Location: - close to our hotel

    First time here. Came with a small group after hearing they had excellent burgers, so we stopped in to check it out. It's a vintage-looking building with a fenced outdoor area filled with tables and metal chairs. Umbrellas provide shade if needed. Inside, there's a bar with seating and several tables of different sizes. The space has a vintage vibe with bare brick walls, a metal ceiling, wood floors, and even a six-foot-high metal vault door. We were greeted right away by our cheerful server, who explained the menu and took our drink order. I went with the mocktail, St. Peri Spritz (there's also a version with alcohol). While waiting for the rest of our group to arrive, we played some of the games available. There were several other groups there, some with kids, and the noise level was just right for conversation. When everyone arrived, we placed our full order: cheese curds for an appetizer, then a variety of burgers with sides including fries, Brussels sprouts, and cauliflower. The cheese curds came out first -- a generous portion and served hot. The breading had (what I think) chili flakes mixed in, giving it a little spice without being overpowering. Very good. The accompanying Spicy Valley Sauce was a nice addition and, again, not too hot. The burgers followed shortly after, and they were all excellent. I had the Wisco Whiz with cheddar, whiz, bacon, dijonnaise, caramelized onion, pickles, and a pretzel bun. It was almost perfect. The only disappointment was the bacon, which was tough and detracted from an otherwise amazing burger, so I set it aside. All the sides we ordered were also very good -- my Brussels sprouts were outstanding. Overall, a fantastic first visit. Excellent burgers, friendly service (thanks, Aubrey), and a casual atmosphere. Would love to come back again (hold the bacon).

    Super cute little restaurant, and I mean small maybe 10 to 12 tables but so worth the wait! The burger of the month (Swedish meatball) was freaking phenomenal! Came with a side of gravy for dipping your burger or heck dip your fries in between that and the valley sauce. I have no clue what is in that sauce but I could take a few jars of it to bring home. So so so good! The staff were very nice, friendly and prompt with service. Totally recommend this one as a must try!

    We had ten people on a bike ride in the area. We enjoyed sitting on the patio for a very good lunch. We tried several different burgers that were all very tasty. I enjoyed cheese curds with mine as well as a local beer. We had good service for a large group.

    We did our usual pit spot in Valley Burger for dinner as we head down to Madison. The whole family lives coming here because the kids get a great burger with fries and their delicious sauce. I decided to try something "healthier" even tho I'm such a burger fanatic I was very impressed at the cómbo I had. The cauliflowers were so delicious! They were perfectly deep fried and served with an herb ranch dipping. The Cesar salad was good ! It had all your traditional fixings with the curtains Parmesan and dressing. Over all I loved my order and the kids enjoyed their kids meal.

    Interesting lunch stop near the bicycle trail. We ate out on the sunny outdoor area. Our server, Madeline served our whole bike group (12 of us!) with ease. Good cocktails and local brews.

    Top 5 burger. I am a big fan of burgers and this place is legit. I had the O.B and my friend had the classic and we were blown away. Soft bun, perfect crispy/juicy smash patties and the right amount of toppings. The fries were also excellent. Our server was also really nice. They have a great cocktail, mocktail, wine and beer list too. Will dream about this one lol.

    Been here twice in the past 2 weeks. The service was fast and the employees are kind and welcoming. The burger was the best burger we've had in a long time and the fries are immaculate. Restaurant is very clean.

    Hole-in-the-wall!! Tiny menu is perfect; they do those 4 burgers well. The specialize in cocktails but still have some wine & beer. Went on a Friday night and had a whiz burger which is made with housemade cheese sauce. Served on a pretzel bun. One of the most delicious burgers I've had in the wine state of Wisconsin! Fries were great on the side! Done crispy.

    Seen the reviews and figured this was a no brainer. Me and the wife's 10 year anniversary and we needed a good lunch spot. This place did not dissapoint!!! We went out the night before so we had some hot pipes. They had Sprite in a glass bottle!! Pipes cooled, first class. I had the mushroom Swiss burger and she had the original. The cremini mushrooms on my burger was a nice touch. Everything was excellent and fear not eating there. Would eat here once a week if I could!!

    First time checking the place out on a busy Saturday night. The space is historic and cool-but on the small side. We were able to get the last table for 4 near the old safe. Service was friendly but a bit delayed in getting beverages out to us. Menu is limited but everything we had was delicious! Unfortunately they were out of the Brussels sprouts side but buffalo cauliflower were a fine substitute. Sauce is very hot-they weren't kidding. Mixed with ranch was the ticket. We had mushroom Swiss and classic burgers. SO GOOD! Substantial sized and tasty. Prices a bit on the high side but a good meal. The server messed up our bill slightly (confused with our other couple) They also brought out another tables food and set it in front of us.

    Little funky to get to the parking lot but worth the effort. My burger and fries were great and loved the local IPA. Cool ambience hanging at the bar and has dog friendly outdoor seating

These are not mixed drinks. These are truly crafted cocktails. We have an excellent selection of liquors. Beers on tap. Wine. Appetizers and sandwiches. they have an outdoor seating area and rooftop seating for the summertime. Great service. Beautiful decor. The only downside is it's very loud in there. The acoustics are terrible. Could definitely use some sound absorbing tiles on the ceiling. It's right next to the amphitheater at River Prairie Park. Parking can be tight when there's a concert. It's also a little spender than your average place in the area. I think it's worth it for the experience and unique cocktails.

Try the Bourbon Flights - great deal for some excellent hard to find Bourbons. The food is made from scratch and is amazing. Great location and the outside patio it warm and allows for great people watching. The staff made us feel welcome, like sitting in someone's living room. Most of the bottles are available for retail purchase and available at the restaurant. This could be your everyday spot, or just for a special occasion - but highly recommended.

    TLDR: creative cocktail and good menu with a Wisconsin twist…read more I brought my group of 8 family and friends here and everyone loved what they ordered! The menu features a lot of local Wisconsin produce and Wisconsin favorites with a twist, like Baked Cheese Curds (the tomato jam is SO GOOD) and Portobello Poppers with a wild rice and cheddar filling (it was so tasty I couldn't believe it was vegetarian!). Everyone really liked the Chicken Fried Rabbit (obviously, not our veg friend lol). The buttermilk-brined rabbit leg was so juicy and tender. The red cabbage slaw on the side was a perfect pairing. The Candied Pork Belly just melted in my mouth, no joke! And I love that it was seasoned with hoisin sauce and came with some baba ghanoush, which you'd think wouldn't go together--but it so does. For my main, I had the Grilled Ribeye and my bf had the Roasted Lamb. Both were cooked to perfection (medium rare) and both were phenomenal! The chimichurri on the side had some sweet kick to it but the steak didn't even need it bc it was plenty flavorful and tasty. The lamb was so tender and the mint gelee was *chef's kiss*. The Great Lakes Walleye was served on a nice tomato confit brodo and my bf's parents absolutely loved how imaginative it was. We all thought it'd just come out with a side of potatoes or something but the presentation blew us away AND they said it was very lovely. The kids loved their How 'Bout Them Apples pizza, which wouldn't have been my first choice (apples on pizza?!) but it did look tasty! For drinks, I ordered the Seamus (which is basically an old fashioned with Irish whiskey) and my partner ordered the Watermelon Mojito. I couldn't believe he liked the Seamus bc he usually hates old fashioneds but tbf it was a very well balanced cocktail! His Watermelon Mojito was refreshing and yummy (but a little too sweet for me). My bf and our friend both loved it tho! We'll definitely be back again the next time we pass thru Eau Claire!!

    They're very friendly and need a reservation, although it is a fancy restaurant. Given the name,…read morethe informal I did not think it would be so formal... and wasn't really dressed for it. But they seated us anyway, and took good care of us. The food is good. We just had a small shared salad and pizza. But I'll be honest it isn't as good as some of the more formal restaurants that I have been to.. (but again we only had pizza).

Waited 10+ minutes for a table when we arrived at our reserved…read moretime, and proceeded to then wait *50 minutes* for our food after ordering (fairly simple breakfast items). This was while multiple other parties who arrived after us were served their food, ate, paid and left. It was quite obvious they forgot to submit the order or the kitchen lost the ticket. These things happen and I would never fault someone for an accident when they acknowledge and apologize. But they acted like nothing was wrong when I asked (after 35 minutes of waiting), and I was also quite surprised that they didn't offer any discount or food while we waited. The food was good, but definitely not worth the wait or the $65+ bill for 4 people just ordering breakfast and nothing else. Sadly may be our first and last time here, even though we had heard great things about it.

I had the ham and cheddar omelette. I didn't want the hash browns so they substitute a salad instead. The salad was good. The omelette was very different. The eggs were extremely soft. It had sliced ham which was a little hard to cut through and the cheddar cheese was very sharp. The sourdough bread was good. My husband had the biscuits and gravy which he said wasn't very hot. My daughter in law said the hash browns were very good.
