Wasn't that busy but I felt invisible in this place. Walked in and wasn't sure if I should seat myself or wait for a hostess. After waiting for a bit we were finally seated. Waited about 35 minutes, and the hostess/waitresses just walked around saying our waitress would be right with us. We ended up leaving before we were even offered glasses of water.

We've been there several times. Today was as expected...nothing short of fantastic. First time having the haystack onion rings and it turns out they are the best I've ever had. The half pound Angus burger was delicious too! The fish fry with potato pancakes is one of the best in Wisconsin.

I ordered the meatball appetizer with my meal and ended up sick merely two hours later, if that. Don't get me wrong, service was friendly; but a colleague of mine was unimpressed by her meal also. I think it was a bit pricy for what I was served. Would not return. I even came out of town. Maybe the meat was spoiled‍, but overall -- very unimpressed.

Best take out!
We ordered prime rib sandwich with cottage cheese. The meat was lean delicious.
The grill burger was cooked to perfection and the topping we fantastic. Fries were hot and delicious.
Deep fried shrimp is my go to here. It is the BEST. Tender lightly hand battered with Mashed potatoes (homemade) fresh vegetables and a salad. The salad was fresh and delicious.

Stopped in over 4th of July weekend on a Saturday afternoon. Most folks were camped out for fireworks and the place was rather empty. Kids wanted to sit at the bar, which was was offered and they have bar-rail tables designed for food service.

That said, we were glad to have asked for the kids' food immediately, because we waited a full 45 minutes after placing drink and kids menu food orders before the bartender came back around. We sat idle and attempted to gain her attention multiple times, watched as regulars came to the bar, were served and attended to immediately, and when it was

Worst fish fry I have had in memory. Backbone of Walleye still in fish. Prep made for a very soggy mushy fillet. Clam strips practically burnt and over breaded. All four in my party were disappointed and left half their meal. Waitstaff and bartenders were good, which resulted in a two vs one star

Love everything about this place. Todd is one of the hardest working owners I've ever met. He'll jump behind the bar, jump in the kitchen, run some food, do the dishes. I'll go here just to support him.

My hubby and I were recommended here by our good friend for Walleye fish fry, because it had been awhile since we had it because we were visiting from the south where you cannot get it.
The place is hoppin' on a Friday night but for a good reason. Staff was more than on top of things and seated us quickly and got in our order and drinks fast. It was amazing how quick and promptly the food came out which I would have waited longer. Walleye dinner there was tasty with big portions. The staff were always checking in to see if we needed anything. The whole experience was amazing. 10/10 recommend.

Fish fry last night with another couple. Nikki, our waitress was great! She was super quick and funny. I had a fish sandwich. Fish was great, light breading, fried perfect. I think it was a brioche bun, really tasty and fresh. The guys thought the clam chowder could have been thicker but that didn’t stop them from cleaning their bowls. Everyone agreed we would defy one back. 😊

Came here for a Packer-Sunday. Long bar, with a huge room off to the side. The bloodies were spicy / well done, and so was the breakfast. We ordered on paper menus, and it was no-frills awesome. The bartender was also our waitress, was positive, accommodating during the game, and hustled her tail off. We had an omelet, eggs/prime rib combo, and well - plenty of drinks. Not necessarily the most COVID - friendly, as the bar is long /narrow, and a lot of people at the bar enjoying their libations with out much space between them. Still a good spot to chill.

The best fish fry with a value price and the very best potato pancakes. You've got to try it! The wait staff is memorable and friendly. Nice old school feel.

Haystack Onion Rings were better than most
Burger was good but needed a little more seasoning. (Good if you wanted less salt)
Pork Schnitzel was cooked well. Would have liked it better w/o the lemon pepper. Liked the plain part with a squeeze of the fresh lemon.

Might be the worse fish fry I have had. On top of that the beer tasted like they have not cleaned their lines in years. Had a Fat Tire that tasted very odd. So I went to a Miller Lite and it had the same dirty line taste.

This place is warm, cozy and the food is delicious. Don't let the iceberg lettuce fool you. They use butter and salt to a perfect degree.

The steak salad and low carb burger (with veggies) were both delicious.

So glad to find a place that has good food, with no pretensions.

Thursday night is the night to go.

They serve broasted chicken... ALL YOU CAN EAT!!! It is just amazing! Very crispy skin and super juicy. Get as many helpings as you like.

Service is outstanding. The bartender Tim is another reason I come all time. He's only there on Thursdays.

Tim and chicken...what more could anyone ask for?!

The service was fantastic. Bartender was friendly and attentive, took our orders right away. The food came out promptly. The decor was old world wisconsin, which I like. But the food was... Terrible. The ribeye was pretty much raw in the middle with no seasoning. The chicken wrap tasted off and had nasty chunks of chicken in it. It was barely edible. The veggies were mush. However the French fries were fantastic. The place has a real charm but the food made us nauseous.

Todd's is a friendly neighborhood bar & grill with some of the better food in the area. The decor is a bit dated and could use a refresh but they've got a long bar and a number of booths when you walk in and then another 2 rooms with tables if you prefer not to eat in the bar area.

The Friday fish fry is recommended and comes with potato pancakes, cole slaw, and all the fixings plus the Saturday night prime rib is usually great. Todd's soups of the day are also excellent (although the French Onion isn't my favorite anymore) and you'll enjoy the schnitzel and typical
