Although there's a bit too many TV's for my taste.... It is a pub. The signs on the bathroom gave me a chuckle...
Hubby and I ordered the curd burger and it was fantastic. We will be going back.
I understand training new. Help but this is the second week in a row we did not get our order. Had to go back. And then what we did end up with not complete. It's too bad as it used to be a great place but twice in a row makes one wonder.
On Friday, Dec 22nd we had a large party (30+ people) drop in to the Pub. We had one server and she was on point! I can't remember seeing anyone looking around looking for a refill. The food came out quick and when it was delivered, the young men cleaned off the tables on the way out. Thanks so much for helping make our gathering a successful one!
Friendly bartender, helpful servers & fast service. The thing that struck me the most was how quickly I received my appetizer and meal. I thought the Wisconsin Cheese Curds were pretty good. They were soft and fresh, although a little greasy to the fingers. I wasn't given napkins with them. The ranch dipping sauce was tasty. It was a fair size portion for the price and plenty of sauce on the side. I had the Smashburger for my meal. I thought the burger was rather bland, and the fries were just OK. A bit too much bun for my tastes. Overall, it wasn't bad, but I would try something else from the menu if I get back down that way. I didn't notice until writing this that the menu says the burgers come with your choice of a side, but the Smashburger also notes that fries are $1.00 extra. That's a little conflicting. If I hadn't said I wanted fries as my side, would I have just gotten the burger? If I had picked tots or another side, would it have been a dollar less? Hmm, not a huge deal, just confusing a little. The price was fair either way and listed at $6.99, which seems fair for only the burger anyway. The burger meal arrived within a few minutes of the cheese curds appetizer, and I asked for some napkins and a side of mayo . The server was very nice and brought both very quickly. I want to note it was Saturday at 6pm and I sat at the bar. Very fast service considering how busy it was at that time. The bartender, Makayla, was very busy but never seemed overwhelmed. She was attentive but not intrusive during my meal, but she checked on me a couple of times, which was the right amount. The bar was stocked with a great variety of liquors, spirits, and beers on tap or in containers. There were several TVs behind the bar showing various sports going on. They also had gambling machines as well. It was a bit loud with the voices of the diners, but it was kind of expected, noting the day and time. Just wanted to mention it for those who are bothered by that type of atmosphere when dining.
Very crowded on Friday nights. It's seat yourself, so it can be frustrating trying to wait for a table. They should have a hostess for busy times. We ended up sitting at the bar. Both bartenders were great. Food came out quickly, but you could tell some of it had been prepared ahead of time (fried cod and fries). Still would recommend.
25 years ago my Dad used to take my brother and I here and we’d get baskets of fried mushrooms, cheese fries, burgers… and it was all delicious. So, I decided to take my husband and kids here at 4:30pm on a Friday. Wow have things changed.
We weren’t greeted by anyone. The employees that were just standing around just looked at us. We asked if we could sit outside. They said yes. Then a woman came out and said” no one really sits up here because of this pear tree and all the bees. There’s a back deck though.” Now, that’s what we should have been told before ever going out there.
So now we go to the back deck. The atmosphere lacking. The chairs are cheap and uncomfortable. The server barely speaks and is expressionless. We order the “AUCE fish fry” and burgers and fries for the kids. The fish was not good. It was dry, the cod tasted fishy and the walleye was flavorless. The fries were cold. The burgers were nothing special other than the grilled butter bun.
The entire experience was mediocre at best. I would not recommend and we won’t be dining there again.
The atmosphere inside is dry. It seemed like nearly everyone was miserable. I suggest finding a way to make it a fun atmosphere and improve on the food quality.
Went on a Thursday sad to say I think there was only 1 waitress that I saw.
I know she tried, however there was lot of time we needed things and she wasn't available. Food came it was barely warm but edible.
Bartender was loud and obnoxious and had all her friends at the bar giving free shots. Our waitress was extremely nice but her table touching skills could use some improvement for sure plus she cut you off before you had a chance to finish what you were saying the “cook” with the glasses came out of the kitchen licking his fingers that’s always nice to see 🙃 but the food came out fast which was a good sign until we tried it and it had zero flavor and the presentation was as a -1 out of 10. This place used to be great for Roscoe now it’s just an armpit for the city. Owners should take more pride in who they hire
Fantastic food and great variety of beer/cocktails. The service was stellar (friendly and accommodating server) and the owner was very friendly and welcoming. Such a quant and cute little place. We stumbled upon this place and I highly recommend it!
I asked The first waiter we had when we got to the area (who looked like he worked out) where to go for a trainer.
Without hesitation he said: "The Gym in Roscoe is the best! Talk to Mike." Looking back, he was right.
I had a lapse in physical healt
Traditionally, this is the Friday hangout of my older siblings. However, every time I walk in the door, it feels like home. It's always fast friendly service, with great people enjoying themselves. Nobody is looking at you like you don't belong there
