They also have different specialty cocktails throughout the year. -Cheese curds...I know, it's Wisconsin, but these are right up there with the elite. Cons: -I'll let you know when I find some. We've been to Crafty Cow several times over the last year, probably four or five times, and we've always been impressed by how friendly the waitstaff and bar staff are. The owner is also very nice and clearly involved, which I think is cool. I almost always order the same thing: the chicken strip meal, which comes with three huge strips and a large side of fries. The chicken here is really interesting because it's marinated in pickle brine. You can definitely taste the brine, and it adds something you didn't even realize was missing. My wife used to order the same thing, but now she tries something different each time because she knows she can share my strips. Everything she has tried has been good. Also worth mentioning: they have really good ranch dressing. I was surprised when I looked up Crafty Cow on Yelp and saw that it had less than four stars. Looking at some of the older reviews, I'm guessing it may have had a bit of a rocky start. But based on our experiences, Crafty Cow has been consistently great, and we'll definitely keep coming back.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND Working with clients in Oconomowoc, I…read morerecently lunched at Crafty Cow Burgers & Fried Chicken; we had a terrific experience! The interior decor is very 'pub' like with expanses of dark wood and many art prints/framed works on the walls; there is a large bar in the front area with several tables/high-tops. In the back, the aesthetic is more 'industrial' with exposed brickwork and beams. We were greeted by the bartender (?) and seated immediately; our waitress brought us menus, reviewed the specials with us, and then brought our drinks. Crafty Cow specialises in 'craft' sodas and I enjoyed a very nice diet 'cola' drink with lemon; it was delicious. I ordered the chicken sandwich with the 'Nashville Hot' seasoning (because, hello, Nashville Hot) and it arrived piping hot with lots of shoe-string fries, also piping hot. The flavours were absolutely wonderful, full of contrast and balance. The 'heat' from the chicken was excellent; the chicken was plump and juicy, and had been perfectly breaded and fried. The slaw was also excellent: just the right balance of sweet and crunchy to offset the hot chicken. My clients and I enjoyed our visit to Crafty Cow Burgers & Fried Chicken and plan to return! HIGHLY RECOMMEND

OMG! What fantastic atmosphere, vibe, service and personality at Ruben's. I had noticed it in the…read morepast but never found occasion to go to until we were getting Mexican food from the cart park, and had some time to kill while we waited for our order. Ruben's has a classy, hip cocktail lounge vibe and the music when we were there was jazz and Buena Vista Social Club - so wonderful and not blaring so we could hear eachother talk. Ruben and his staff immediately seemed like family. We will definitely go back for the live music. We are so happy we discovered this place across from the new Mexican grocery store and next to Amalia's.

The bartender was nice but clearly inexperienced. Another person showed up who I assumed was the owner who then started badgering the bartender and asked her why she was so quiet and said she must be having a panic attack. If this was the case, I would have expected him to try to help the bartender, but he seemed to exasperate the situation. We popped out as soon as we could because it was a really uncomfortable time.

Okay, Su Lago... we see you Just wow--across the board…read more The building itself is stunning, perfectly situated right on Lac La Belle Lake and serving up all the dreamy lake-country vibes. Inside, the décor is clearly intentional, with thoughtful details that make the space feel warm, elevated, and inviting. The service was outstanding. We had a fairly large group (around 10 people), and not once did anyone go without water, drinks, or a friendly check-in to make sure everything was perfect. Truly attentive without feeling overbearing. If you're an Italian food lover, this is absolutely the place. Pasta, bread, steak--they have it all, and nothing disappointed. And the cheese wheel?! You don't need a trip to Italy for that experience. Watching my son's noodles get coated in rich, melty cheese tableside was both delicious and memorable--an experience all on its own. Su Lago delivers on atmosphere, service, and food. We'll definitely be back.

It took 15 minutes for the server to come to us when we first got there and we were the only ones in the restaurant. We were going to get coffee and dessert, but we weren't going to wait any longer. It had been 20 minutes since she left with our dishes. The food was better the last time. We shared a the fig salad to start. They split it for us without asking if we wanted it split and then charged us for the split. My husband had the Raghu. It was fine, but nothing special not for that price. I had the sea bass. It was really salty. I was drinking iced tea and, when I ordered another one, I was informed that refills were not free. Seriously for the prices they charge, they need an extra $2.50? We were very disappointed. Will not be going back.

Found out tables were only available via reservation which I thought was a bit odd for a Mexican restaurant but we were offered a seat at the bar so we jumped on that. Inside the decor was festive with a number of Frida pictures and great wallpaper in the restroom. We ordered guacamole and tacos. The guacamole came out quickly and was tasty, with a slightly sweet twist due to the pomegranate seeds and chips just as I like them. I ordered the milwalke and manolos bam bam tacos. I preferred the bam bam because it was filled a bit more but I didn't love the mayo based sauce on either. I would've preferred that on the side or, even better, an offering of salsa instead. I would've loved to review their salsa but only heard about it as I was finished up and it was offered to the couple sitting next to us at the bar. I was excited to try here but there were a few misses during our visit so we'll head to other local restaurants when we're in the area for a more satisfying meal next time.

Busy restaurant, great things are in store. We were greeted by friendly bartenders but after dropping off water, took them a long time to come back around to take our order. When they did came back, it was to ask us to accommodate another couple at the bar by sliding over, rather than take our order. Eventually we ordered, guac of course and a few tacos each. The guac came out super quick, which was a good thing because the tacos took forever, like 30 minutes or more. Which for tacos, should never take that long. We also had to ask for napkins and utensils at this time. The food showed up, quesa-birria and the brisket. The brisket taco was excellent. If I come back, I'll order those. The birria was soggy and lacked the crispiness expected from something called birria. Even tho there was consomme called out in the description, non was provided. What made it worse is when the food was delivered to a couple near by, they were offered salsa and all the things. Felt like we missed out on things. It should have been better. Not sure I'll give it another try.

From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere felt warm, cozy, and inviting. Bryant's is the perfect venue for an intimate wedding or small celebration, and having the outdoor seating area open gave guests another beautiful space to gather and enjoy the evening. The food was absolutely outstanding. Our guests couldn't stop talking about the appetizers - especially the incredible seafood and cream cheese appetizer with sweet chili sauce - and everything from the creamy risotto to the stuffed chicken was delicious and beautifully prepared. It was one of those meals people were still talking about long after dinner was over. What made the evening especially memorable, though, was the hospitality. Everyone was genuinely kind, friendly, and personable, making us feel less like customers and more like family. The owner was so gracious and even shared how much he appreciated my dad, which meant a great deal to our family. At the end of the night, they carefully boxed up all of the leftovers for us to pick up the next morning, and when we returned, we were greeted with smiles and hugs. It's rare to find a place that combines wonderful food with such genuine hospitality. Bryant's on the Round helped make one of the most important days for our family feel even more special, and we're so grateful. We wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for a beautiful, welcoming venue for a wedding or special event.

Server took our orders and the food came quickly. My wife's Rueben was very good and the Cole slaw was creamy and fresh. I ordered the Tuesday special of boneless wings 69 cents each. Six of each, sweet tai sauce and dry rub bbq. I ordered a side of cole slaw also. I thought I'd be pretty full with a dozen wings but when they came they were the size of the small premade meatballs you'd buy in the grocery store. The tai were just ok, but the dry rub tasted like they were rolled in pure salt. I love salt; but these were terrible. I ate one and thought maybe it was just that one, but the 2nd was just as bad. My wife had one and completely agreed. The server came by and asked how everything was, so I told her and she laughed and said they get that a lot, but didn't offer to replace them. I was hungry, so I rolled the last 3 in blue cheese which barely covered the salt. Another server came by to take our plates and asked how everything was. I told her about the wings and she asked me how many I had and walked to the kitchen. When the bill came there had been no adjustment. Based on my wife's meal it would probably be a 4 star review. Based on the small salty wing balls and disregard of the staff, I wouldn't go back.
