Kind of torn on this review…read more Grounded has a great patio and well-priced drinks. I just would say I haven't been super impressed by their drinks. I tend to prefer places that make some of their own syrups, etc. and from what I can tell, Grounded doesn't really do much from scratch, which is fine, just not my preference. Their drinks are usually good. I was kind of disappointed to see their even their seasonal specialty drink was not a homemade syrup. My biggest complaint is their cold brew is super weak/too watered down. Service is usually okay, cleanliness is usually okay as well. I do love their expanded hours, so we do stop here when others are closed.

All three of us (the Mrs, my Aunt, and myself) ordered the Biertgarten Smashburgers and we split an order of the Cheese Curds. The burgers were two 4oz chuck/brisket patties, fried onion, American cheese, lettuce, pickles, and Smash Sauce served on a toasted brioche bun and is FANTASTIC! Have plenty of napkins at your disposal as the flavor oozes from this burger! The hand-cut fries are a great side and very good too (I had to add some salt to put them over the top)...the Cheese Curds made it a trifecta...they were outstanding as well, crispy coating and melt in your mouth cheesyness! The servers were very helpful and ready to help out at a moments notice. Dixie's Biertgarten Smashburger has moved on to my Top 5 Burgers I've Ever Had list... It was around 3 in the afternoon and the place was packed (casual atmosphere and some sports on the big screens) so you may have to wait for a seat...there is some outdoor seating but it was raining today but FYI....it's definitely worth the time so be patient!

Decorah has amazing beers. Special note that the staff was very friendly. This was a great bar and grill and I can totally see why it was crawling with guests. We will be back when in town again.

The place is tucked into an older building and has great indoor and outdoor seating options. We skipped the bar this time and opted for the patio.

Sadly they are gone already! The guys working this day were very friendly and helpful with selections and quick to serve!

We started with a sangria, we had been in Spain the month before and wanted to relive that visit, we found the drink to be very authentic. We shared the cheese and salami appetizer and were very happy we did! It came bubbly hot with a delicious baguette. We were seated at the counter in front of the prep area. The pizzaiolo was very friendly and accommodating to my barrage of questions about the pizza ingredients and the dome oven. The pizza itself was fantastic, nice thin crispy crust, flavorful sauce, and ample tasty toppings. I would highly recommend Uno Venti and look forward to our next visit. The only thing that surpassed the food and atmosphere was our server, Kayla. Prompt, attentive, knowledgeable, and a great sense of humor. Great experience all around.

I liked their beer selection; not too much, not too little, just a good enough selection to reach any palate. I loved when I got up to take a picture and discovered an old cigarette vending machine. In the other room is a vintage motorcycle, vintage a hammerschlagen stump and a plethora of randomness sure to spark your nostalgia. It was a perfect afternoon for the two garage doors open. A cute chubby cat may pop on to the bar, I didn't have time to pet them as in my talking w my hands flailing I slapped the bar and they weren't sticking around for my antics.
