The bartender said between those times it is usually standing room only. So, lunch is a good time to go. I wanted to get the sampler plate, but I want to be consistent and I am doing cod plates for this lent tour. The hubs had the slick willies burger and said it was fantastic, had bark on it like he likes. The fish was okay, you could taste the grease in the batter. In saying this, I am a bit picky with a fish fry, I don't want it to taste greasy or fishy. When I put the fork into the fish, the batter broke away from the fish, bummer but not a deal breaker. The prices are great!

Service wasn't the best, but the staffing was low, with one gal pretty much providing the service for the bar area and dining area. It wasn't annoyingly bad. The food more than made up for what the service lacked. Three pieces of fish with a nice lighter batter. It was very good. The potato pancakes were homemade and delicious with an excellent seasoning. Tartar sauce was nice and tartary. Cole slaw was average, but the marble rye was a great addition. All in all, it was a great stop and I recommend it.

It was crisper then I would've liked which means I think they might've kept it in a little bit longer than I like, but it was still tasty and it was not hard once I took the breading off, but it was great tasting chicken and it came with enough stuff so I think I will be actually returning eventually down the road as of right now I think you're better than KFC and better than Popeyes since I worked there hehe now I just have to try your burgers

So the staff is challenged in many ways. I ordered a personal pepperoni/sausage pizza and it was missing the sausage. The bartender who could not leave her phone alone did not seem to care so I asked did the cook make a mistake and she replied she did not hear me say sausage. She offered to remake it and I said no. The crust is crap and it was over cooked. Others have said the same. I was watching drag racing (auto drag racing) on the main TV in front of me and another server changed the channel. I said what are doing?! She smiled and said Bingo Tuesday, 7pm. It was 6:40pm. So for 40 minutes it was a static photo. I moved to watch it on a smaller crappy TV. She walked over and kissed her, I assume, physically, gravitationaly challenged lover. Asked to cash out. Prior to walking there I checked the online menu, typical bar food but I had a taste for pizza. Online a personal two topping was $10 and I was charged $12. She looked online and adjusted the price for me. This is not the first time I came across the buy-1-get-1 beer coupon and if another comes along I will pass.

It is unfortunate that once again I cannot give a better review, I really wanted to…read more After many years of hiatus due to very crappy service and a horrible co-owner, we decided to go back to The Tap Room. Ryan bought out his partner so I figured give them another try. We did get fried pickles on each of our sandwiches, I got seasoned fries ( I would say battered, but I didn't taste any seasoning), and he got tots. My husband's burger was good, the server was not doing well this morning due to being over zealous last night with alcohol and she never asked how he wanted his burger, pink or no pink. It came out no pink, but it was not dry and was good. The burger is supposed to come with lettuce, tomato and onion. I had a BLT, well I had a BL, they did not have tomato. I was not told this by our server, when the sandwich came I noticed no tomato and I asked the other server and she said they were out of tomatoes. I told her I wish I would have known as I would have ordered something else. No offer of a discount, no offer of ordering something else, no I am sorry. She then told our server that they are out of tomatoes, well they are not out as they ran out, the owner said they are too expensive so he is not buying them. SHEET! A BLT has very few ingredients and tomato is one of the main ingredients. Not having tomato on a burger is a little different than not having tomato on a BLT. If you do are not buying ingredients, all of your staff needs to know an you need to let the customer know before the order comes out without the ingredients. Disappointed to say the least. I will give them one more try as we are really trying to shop local and support SM businesses. They do have a brunch on Saturday and Sunday, I did not get a picture of the 4 breakfast items, but you can order anything on the menu.

There is a small portion for outdoor seating, but it's the interior that makes this place unique. A panoply of saloon memorabilia covers the walls and ceiling in its entirety. It is an impressive site to behold. It was neat spotting some of the items that are also in my personal collection, and I could write all day about the décor, but this is a food review. My family and I dined there on 8/5 for my brother's birthday. I'll begin by saying our waitress Cindy did an excellent job as she was friendly and attentive. For my entrée, I went with the Monterey Steak Bites, which is listed as an appetizer on the menu. I'm not the largest guy, so the 6oz of grilled black angus steak was plenty for me. The bites are sauteed with white wine, mushrooms, garlic butter, and topped with a layer of melty Monterey Jack Cheese. Everything about this dish was perfect. My steak was tender and juicy, the mushrooms were abundant, large, and fresh, the garlic flavoring was noticeable but not overpowering, and the plethora of cheese was more than enough to satisfy this cheesehead. If there was any negative to it, it would be that it was so rich, I had a bit of a stomachache after, but that's why I don't eat this way all the time. Almost forgot to mention, it comes with a tiny cocktail fork that was ideal for spearing the steak and mushrooms. Phenomenal job, Doughboy approved Doughboy_Food_Reviews *The plethora of drinks on the menu was also impressive

They came out piping hot. The buffalo garlic was listed under hot sauces but it is not hot IMO. We had carrots and celery with blue cheese on the side. We had also ordered onion rings - they came out hot but we would skip them next time - kind of bland. The place was packed, so it was a little tough to get service but the staff was hustling. Our server was was very friendly and helpful when we were able to get her to our table. TomKen's gives typical Wisco neighborhood bar vibes, with lots of local memorabilia on the walls and several TVs with sports on. We may have to go back and try the fried chicken - tables all around us were ordering big baskets of fried chicken and all the sides.

(paper menu listed as Cajan & website menu has it as Asian style noodles). Seriously, I had to look for the chicken. It was cut in such tiny strips I had to dig through the pasta to find it. This did not remotely taste like a Cajan or Asian dish. it was so bland that a two year child could eat. To spice it up the cook gave me hot sauce. How insulting!!!! I had no choice but to send it back. I have to say the wait staff was amazing. Get rid of the cook!!

I read…read moregood things about the brisket here and found it inside Redbar and was able to grab a seat at the bar. I ordered a beer and decided on Brisket and added a Sausage for 6 bucks. I started cutting into the brisket and was immediately turned off. This was like cutting into a piece of beef jerky. It was try and tough and I shouldn't have even put it in my mouth, but I reluctantly did! Oh wait, this isn't that forum in that adult magazine.... But Yuck Yuck Yuck to that dry meat. Luckily, there was a LOT of brisket so I fished around and cut a piece from the other end and wow... BUTTER! This was some of the juiciest brisket I've had. The fat rendered nicely and it was still meaty. SOOOO good. Yes, this good part was connected to the bad part. The $6 add on for the sausage was pretty good as well, as was the side of Mac n Cheese. With the add on, it's probably a shareable plate for most people, including me these days. Parking is limited as it's kind of in a neighborhood, and the Redbar itself has a locals, dive-bar vibe, which isn't a bad thing. Just something you should know! Cheap beers though!

Great spot to enjoy a drink & eat! Will be back to try other offerings.
