Food
We make most of our lunch and dinner menus from scratch using fresh, local & regional ingredients, high-quality cuts of meats, and real Wisconsin cheeses. Everything is made-to-order and served in a timely fashion. If you’d rather eat at home, our menu is available for delivery.
Our menus cater to most diets including meat eaters, vegetarians, gluten-free, Atkins, and vegans alike! Don’t forget to check out our delicious dessert menu which includes ice cream from the award-winning The Pearl Ice Cream Parlor in downtown La Crosse, WI.

We offer 16 beers on tap mostly made up of Wisconsin and Minnesota craft beers. We have a wide selection of wines, whiskeys, vodkas, tequilas, and bottled beers. Our creative drink program offers unique libations that will quench anyone’s thirst!
