Customer Reviews

"Located on a great motorcycle riding highway that has scenic hills and valleys and lots of curves. I'd watch out for those 4 wheel cages on road though, just about became a grease spot on road turning into the parking lot. A tailgating Durango tried and somehow passed me on the right without hitting a road sign, mailbox, utility pole, or my bike, without a shoulder or turn in lane."

"One of my favorite bars to go to. Tucked away in Wisconsin. Went and had tomahawk steaks for our annual dart party that were cooked wonderfully with sweet corn, and bacon wrapped asparagus. All brought to us outside and there was an outdoor bar to get drinks at. Their burgers are awesome as well. Cool bar has all sorts of fun stuff for decor. Highly recommend this place."

"One of the coolest places I have ever run into!. Out cursing on my new GTL and ran into this place, so decided to stop for a quick lunch and refreshment. Just a few locals when I first arrived, but shortly after a few fellow bikers and some others traveling through and the place was hoping. So uniquely decorated with local tractor seats and a bar made with pennies and table with dollar bills. The owner really went out of the way to make this a place to visit. The bartender was from my Colorado town, so we immediately connected. See the video for a first rate welcome. This will be my definite return place when I am back this fall for another ride in the beautiful Wisconsin country."

"Amazing places to ride to! I have been here a couple times and it's become my favorite destination ride. Service is always great even when business is heavy. Food is good--have to try the huge chicken wings and pork tenderloin sandwich. Then check out the Camel Toe Mall. Huge outdoor space and a lot of parking for bikes. Must go to!"

"Took some friends from Hawaii here because we were out cruising around. It is such a fun atmosphere and the folks who work there are fantastic. Food is really good. Not too mention cold beers. Great place to stop if you taking a ride or if you're looking for some place different."

- Michael E.

"I guess we picked a bad day to stop. They were out of anything beef and had no chicken wings. Drinks were good. Very unique. They also have outside seating around back."
