We LOVED this place when visiting the area. It was definitely worth the short drive there. Drinks were wonderful, food was excellent, and the service was phenomenal! The place was fun and eclectic. Loved the Bella Mushrooms, Shrimp Po Boy, Boom Boom Burger, Fish Sandwich, and Cordon Blue Chicken Sandwich. Bonus points they sold the honey mustard they use by the bottle - our group bought 4 it's so good!

Stumbled across this historic roadside tavern taking the back way home from Governor Dodge State Park. Great atmosphere and high quality tap list, including Bell's Two Hearted Ale. A hidden treasure in the Driftless.
