The best thing about this place is the staff. Our waitress was quite overwhelmed with a demanding table, so others jumped in to help. The atmosphere was nice, but not what I'd consider a bar and grill.

The food was mediocre at best. We ordered a sausage pizza, a pepperoni pizza, cheese curds, chicken tenders and the pickle fries. Perhaps since we're from Chicago we rate pizza differently, but this was ketchup and crackers with mixed meat. We went here because it's rated the best pizza in Walworth county, but we were utterly disappointed. I've had better pizza from a gas station.

When we come to Wisconsin we always order cheese curds. I was shocked at how unappealing these curds were. It was like the make at home Farmrich stuff, not anything near what I've come to expect from Wisconsin Cheese Curds sold in a Wisconsin restuarant.

The best part of our meal were the chicken tenders and pickle fries, and even they were kind of disappointing. The most disappointing part was the drink I ordered. I ordered the next door pub punch which was described as vodka with cranberry, pineapple, and orange juice. When I got the drink it was almost clear. It was almost straight liquor. I had to pour half of it out and mix the remaining with Sprite in order to drink it at all. I cannot believe how something that sounded so refreshing could possibly be served as if a 18 year old kid had mixed it. Shame on them for not being more responsible.

Again, the staff was superb. However we left a table full of food and hungry after spending 65 dollars on food we couldn't eat. What a shame!
