Smiling Moose Bar and Grill Reviews

Always great, home made food, big portions, fair price.

Food is good but some of the bartenders shouldn't be bartenders.

All their food is amazing, but I tried their pizza burger this last time... best pizza burger I have ever had! Was so delicious, service is friendly and quick!

I was there this morning for breakfast very good food nice place

Food and service were very good. I recommend the Smiling Moose Saloon and Grill. We enjoyed ourselves very much.

Awesome breakfast! I had the mini moose breakfast. It was alot of omelet with potatoes and your choice of toast or pancakes. Very, very good!!

The guys at Hoban Brothers told us this place had a really good fish fry on Friday nights. So we drove to the sticks to try out this bar/restaurant. The building itself is a bit organic. It's old school wood inside.
The bar was packed but there were three long tables. We sat at the end of one of those tables wondering what the protocol was . Within two minutes a very friendly (and cute) waitress approached us; and asked us what we wanted to drink. They have several good beers on tap. My wife ordered an Oktoberfest and I ordered a Spotted Cow. In minutes our waitress placed two beers in front of my wife. I was reaching for one when two beers were placed in front of me. Our waitress informed us that it was "double bubble" time. Two beers for the price of one.
We perused the menu. Even though there were some great appetizers, we passed and decided to try their perch dinner. They also have bluegills, walleyes, haddock and catfish. The time slipped by as we sipped our beers. Out came our dinners. Wow, a very filled plate of food. The fish was excellent, as were the fries, cole slaw and rye bread.
Even though the place was busy our waitress checked on us on regular occasions. Our meals were so good we were literally purring with pleasure. Note to my friends, if you're going to have an appetizer you better be hungry as we barely had enough room to finish our suppers
At the end I shook our waitress' hand and told her she was a great waitress. Tipped her well.
Bottom line, this is a great place to get a fish dinner on a Friday night. The food was great, the service was great, the ambiance is biker bar. It was a bit raucous.
If you want the Wisconsin experience of the Friday night fish fry, it would behoove you to check this place out.
Top three of Friday fish in the Manitowoc area in my humble opinion.

great music today... Maybe a cool wedding band for next year...Laforce Electric

Good people their, and really good food. Everyone should try the Moose Burger.

Great 1/2 Steak burger with fries!

Fast friendly service and very competitive pricing!

Will be coming back!

Great bar, great food, great music, and great contributions to those in need with their charitable events!

Great music. Good food & drink. Friendly bartenders.

Popped in with the kids, place was empty except for the bartender who was sweet. We ordered food which was prepared quickly and was good. Average prices.

Good music on Sundays! Bartenders are good and attentive.

Friendly staff great atmosphere good food and good drinks

Love the Smiling Moose...Music on Sunday afternoons is Awesome.

I go here on Sunday afternoons to enjoy the live music. Good food, good service.

A lot of updates to both the physical building and the menu both are great. The jalapeno burger is the way to go with a side of fries

Great food, friendly staff. A must stop if you are in the area.

Great food, atmosphere and location. They dont make 'em like this anymore!

Great vibe. Great food. And great drinks. What else could you want?

Great food, great Sunday afternoon bands, come and enjoy!!!

Always a great place to ride to on the bike! Always seems like there's something going in there in the summer! Great bar with great food, right next to a famous bike shop (Hoban Brothers Cycle Shop)

Awesome catering: outstanding lasagna, honey lime fruit salad, Italian vegie salad, best price for catering. Beautifully displayed. Delicious food at the bar (Moose special of hamburger with the works between two cheese sandwiches). Heat and eat daily specials (need more of the lasagna and can't wait to try the mac and cheese). Can't say enough about this place.

If you're exhausted, you can get a beer here. It didn't seem that classy to me, however.

The food (1st time visit...I had walleye) was amazing. Service was great.

Smiling moose is open again! So glad to get back for great food and fabulous servers and just plain fun

Friendly, clean atmosphere. Not overly loud or rowdy but everyone appears to have a good time.

Easy access, plenty of parking, friendly employees and great live entertainment.

Great food always a good stop when taking the bike out

Good food, reasonable prices. The jalepeno ranch burger was excellent.

An annual tradition that leaves me SMILING: 1-hour lovely Fall Road Trip, to see a favorite band The Stringbenders. A great place to meet the familiar crowd - great bartenders, great small-town local appeal. If passing through, a nice stop for a bite to eat.

The venue is very small but makes it intimate for smaller acts.
