Thirsty Badger Review

Good food. Great service. Burgers and wings a must. Great bloodies. Good beer list.

The food is great. Danielle our server is the best. Always on top of your needs. Must try the pizza

Stopped in for the packer game, had drink and food deals. Hometown feel. Great place to eat and drink.

The BEST EVER& the employees ROCK. Even when they were busy with the Hockey team (kids & all) the staff were ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!

Wow. Small lil place. But the food, crowd, and atmosphere was great. Nice staff as well..

They have a very good Bloody Mary (:
The food is good as well

Phenomenal staff, great drinks and food, amazing atmosphere

Food was amazing and wait staff was great! Fantastic place to enjoy a cold beverage and an awesome burger!

Great food, fun little bar kind of hidden!! Outside area looks like a good time, but was too cold for that today. Friendly staff, good food would definitely recommend for a Badger game or just to stop for a drink. We will cone back when visiting the area!!!!

This is a great place to Go to relax and enjoy some great wings with great food.

Food was amazing, the bartenders were very polite and fast. Loved it!

I'm not much of a drinker. I do occasionally order a to go box from them, they have a delicious menu. Everything I've ordered from then had been great.

The staff was pleasant and the food was good. It's worth stopping.

My opinion of this place changed the entire time I was there, which was my first time. My friends and I got there and it was pretty empty, we went there because they have a happy hour and all day specials listed on the Facebook page. First thing we found out is that those specials no longer exist.. that was irritating and those need to be taken off the website asap. We ordered drinks anyway and eventually ordered some food. The wings were on special and those were very large and decent in taste. At one point there was a 2 year old running around and a very young baby in a carseat on a table all by itself. The parents were drinking and playing games, we didn't enjoy that vibe of the night. But once they left the place got pretty busy and definitely more enjoyable.

Great burgers, good company, good view of the games, 4 stars because it was hot inside, Not a place to stop and cool off.

Amazing bar, atmosphere, and service - Libby was awesome!!

renovated indoors with Tki Bar, fires, music & bags outback

Great place. Love the free drinks when playing the slot machines!!!

We have a 30 min lunch call 15 minutes ahead and food is always ready

AWESOME BAND TONIGHT!
RECKLESS HIGHWAY.

Very clean and great service. Food was delicious and plentiful.

Service was great, and food was delivered quickly and had decent flavor. The drinks were nice and cold.

Outdoor venue is set up pretty nice for live bands. Bathroom issues were a problem though and the porta potty was very unpleasant. Inside bathrooms were closed for some odd reason. I've always liked this place when I've stopped and have heard they've got decent food too. I haven't tried it yet but will give an updated review when I do.

Plenty of room at the bar, not over crowded, good food, strong drinks

Nice bar with a nice atmosphere. And the burgers are good as well.

I've had great service at this bar before but our last visit was disappointing. We had friends visiting from out of town and we were excited to have lunch and drinks at their outside bar. We arrived around 1:30pm on a nice, sunny, Saturday during Labor Day weekend and was told the outside area was closed but would open at 3:00pm. We decided to go into Chippewa to a brewery and came back at 3:15pm. The outside bar was still not open and we were now told it would open at 4:00pm. Since we were all extremely hungry by then we decided to go somewhere else. Just to check for fun we called at 4:30pm to see if they actually opened their outside area. They were still not open.

Seems like they might have some staffing issues or not understand that you should have your outside bar open on an absolutely beautiful Saturday.

Great neighborhood bar....the bartendars are the friendliest in the area and the food is always great....nightly specials and happy hour are a plus!

We stopped for lunch as we occasionally do. Unfortunately it was disappointing. The main topping on our nachos was lettuce. No fault of the bar itself but the last two times the conversation from customers was loud and so ronchie that we ate our food and left.

They need more room and a janitor for the bathroom. They stink. But the atmosphere is good and the people are nice

Great place to eat, love the burgers and appetizers there. Drinks are a given

Amazing food! Amazing people and service, cheap drinks.

We love the Thirsty Badger and come here often. They have excellent burgers and wings and a nice outdoor sitting area. The beer is good too

Good food and a good place to watch the game and live music outside

Nice little place. Food was good and the service was great!

Best traditional wingz in the Chippewa Valley. Great service every time I ve been there. The beers are cheap and they sure go down smooth. Will be back.

The bartenders are so friendly. Love it here. They always know my order, even though I only come once every week or 2. 2 crowns neat. Diet pepsi on the gun. A water. And a can of coke. Now that is service!!!

We stopped for the night on our way to MN staying at the badger motel. Googled restaurants near by and thirsty badger came up. Happy there was out door seating so we gave it a go. VERY pleased!!! Great service! One young lady took care of all the out door area and she was phenomenal on what seemed a busy night with locals, sorry I didn t get her name. Food was very good as well. We will be back next year!

I'll start by saying that I enjoyed myself on my visit, but it didn't add up to an objectively great experience.
Their outdoor Tiki bar was the highlight for me (inside was packed, so no qualms there), watching a Packers game with a group outside. The servers were polite, and the outdoor area is dog-friendly. I enjoyed a couple beers hamming it up with a few people about the game. They were raffling off free drinks every quarter, which was fun.
The downside was that my burger was pretty mediocre and the fries were barely warm. It did take a while for my food to show up, though the place was very busy. The patio allowed smoking, which diminished my experience, but I get it. The big downside is the bathroom situation, which is a port-a-john. Mercifully I didn't have to use it.

I had fun, but certain contributing factors just didn't really make it great. I'm glad I swung through, but it seems like there are a few clear opportunities for improvement.

Smokehouse burger is the way to go. Bartenders always wearing smiles.

Great bloody marys and awesome fries! $3 for a huge plate! Love the badger!

Friendly staff and what seemed like regulars making you feel welcome even if you are from MN. Great outdoor Space and stiff cap n diets. My kind of place.

Terrible service. Took an hour and a half for appetizers. Weren t even hungry by the time food got out. Never again.
