The Golden Frog - American restaurant in Fountain City - 112 N Shore Dr, USA

Super friendly hometown atmosphere at the bar. Beer batter on curds and the Walleye was light, crispy, so delicious. Zum soup was great. What's that? Sausage and kale in a creamy base. The duck, yes, duck. Looked amazing. Wish I had room to try it or more time in town to work thru the menu.

Another day of b'day celebration w/friends. New wait staff that did a great job. 🦐 Shrimp was excellent (as always), friends prime rib was a beautiful cut & done to perfection.

The service was terrible! We waited for long periods of time between visits from our waitress. We were never offered more of the all you can eat item we ordered. She took our plates and off she went. We had to go to the hostess station to get our bill. The atmosphere was chaotic and unorganized. They were filming for a commercial on a Saturday night over the supper hour probably not the best timing. The food was good, but we’ll likely not return due to the poor service and disorganization!

Very nice atmosphere renovated with additional seating areas in the back. New stonefire pizza pavilion with sports activities across the street during summer. The food is reasonably priced typical bar food menu and service was very responsive.

I was hired to work as a server here, (mind you I am an experienced server with 10 years of experience?and I know that I get the job done efficiently and the customers 99% of the time love me )but Sarah, the owner decided to fire me because apperently they have a problem with people shooting up drugs in their bathroom, I got fired over a text- She told me that she thinks they were my needles they found and she also said that she wanted to fire me also because I was gross and sweaty when I worked a couple shifts mind you it was 110° out and I was on the patio running food for 8 hours. Also I’ve been sober and am a proud member of Winona county drug court where I am tested for drugs every single day so idk anyways just wanted to let everyone know that the owners here are homophobic and super judgmental people who can only keep minors as staff because they are easier to control. the food is all right the kitchen is very dirty and most things are either frozen or expired. Good good place for some hillbillies to go get drunk at I guess other than that wouldn’t recommend. Also they shorted me 30 on my last paycheck so must be really desperate?

The outside of the building is adorable but the inside is mostly the same as any other small Wisconsin town restaurant; complete with gambling area and sports on the TV in the bar. There were, however, some cute frog related details and a really interesting engraving of the city. The service was friendly and fast. There was no pride in the food, though. It was uniformly bland and/or overcooked. The chicken alfredo we got for our child was flavorless, came with burnt garlic toast (black side down) and in such a large portion that it was far more than 2 adults could eat. Cod, shrimp and fries seemed to be all coated with the same thick breading and left in the same fryer basket until they were a dark brown and whatever was left in the inside had lost any flavor or proper texture. The salad bar was dirty and had clearly been sitting out, unrefrigerated, all day. The 8oz steak was cooked properly but was difficult to finish due to its lack of care in prep (maybe a little salt and pepper?) And the pan fried frog legs were just bad, don't be tempted. The zum, a spicy sausage soup, was pretty good, though.

A hidden gem. Been in operation for over a hundred years and I can see why. Friendly neighborhood atmosphere. I had a turkey sandwich which was superb. My GF ha a reuben so big she couldn't eat all of it. Tasted just as good later. Will return and highly recommend

If it's breakfast your interested in, I'd recommend any other place but The Golden Frog.... My wife loves pan cakes our experance with the pan cakes at the Golden Frog is that there always doughty / Raw on the inside... Omelets are below most other breakfast places.Hash browns,Raw .. fried potatoes, Raw .... The service is always good. Expecially Macalla....
