January 24, 2025We ordered devil on horseback (was very good I would recommend this), crab cakes (were really bland) and salmon with pumpkin gnocchi (was nice and flakey cooked to temp, ... read more I personally didn’t like the pumpkin gnocchi others at our table enjoyed it) my husband and I shared the salmon and they split it into 2 dishes for us which was very nice. We also got 1 salad and 1 cup of beer cheese soup (would recommend the soup!) We were here quite a long time about 2.5 hrs and our waitress disappeared by the end of the meal when we were trying to get the bill. We spent over 100$ for two people the food and 1 beer. Was a little disappointed but we might be back in the future.

Really great restaurant in LaCrosse! Superb food, service and atmosphere! We have never been to LaCrosse, but have been all over the country and this restaurant stands out.

October 4, 2024Xana was our server and she did a wonderful job answering questions, explaining dishes, and recommending things. Truly a delight!The fish of the day and rigatoni were our entrees,... read more and they were wonderful. Also, the salads they came with were so good! For appetizers, the bacon wrapped dates (devils on horseback I think) and the cheese curds were so delicious. The bar made a killer fresh raspberry mojito, and oddly enough, they had gluten free beer. I have never seen this before, and it wasn’t quite bad. I really appreciate having this option! Dessert menu (they have an in-house pastry chef) looked amazing but we were quite full. Would love to go back!

Heard many good things about this place, and it was my first time. Unfortunately I was very disappointed in the service and the quality of the food. First, we... read more ordered drinks from the bar. Drinks were week and some of us were missing the garnishes. We also had a different time trying to get a second drink, so most of us skipped it. Me and 2 other people at our table ordered the Prime Rib. It was so tough that none of us could hardly cut through it with a knife. The Prime Rib looked baked instead of roasted, which any chef knows makes a big difference. And there are different grades of beef, with Aged Prime being the best, next is Prime, then Choice, and last is Select. And each grade has different levels. The Prime Rib I had was a low level of Select Beef. Now I am not trying to bash this place in any way, and it's been around for a long time and must have been doing something great to be around so long, so I am definitely willing to give it another try and I am hoping this review helps to improve the service, the quality of the food and how it's prepared. Oh one more thing, everyone reading this is probably wondering why I didn't send my Prime Rib back and maybe get something else from the menu. Well! When our waiter seen us struggling to cut into the Prime Rib he looked at us and totally avoided us.

You start by... read more going to the salad 🥗 bar which had a lot of options. When my entree came, I was amazed at the size of the beef. I ordered a medium rare cut but it came out closer to rare. I didn't send it back because I was okay eating it. Service was friendly and attentive. Great place to eat in La Crosse.

January 24, 2025First time here and this place was Amazing! The atmosphere is neat, our waitress Sidney was sweet, courteous, and attentive. Best of all was the food. We ordered prime rib... read more and crab legs, man was it delicious. We lucked out due to arriving a bit later and our food portions were huge, the biggest piece of Prime Rib we've ever had. Needles to say, we had a lot of leftover meat, which fed us the following night. Money well spent and totally worth it.

I came here not knowing what to expect and ended up with a great experience. I originally wanted to sit at the bar since I was by myself but it... read more was pretty full. I went back to the host and told him I changed my mind and would like a table and he sat me at the honeymoon table because it was the only the smallest table available at the time. Mind you it was just me but this has to be the best seat in the restaurant. I enjoyed a nice filet, baked potato and a salad bar! Yes, a salad bar. This along with the kind server, host and meal made this a must the next time I’m in Lacrosse.

Swing Bridge provided the bar service for a wedding in the La Crescent Event Center. Sarah (manager) was amazing to work with during the planning process. Her expertise... read more and advice was crucial given we were planning from a distance. She even went over and above to acquire a specific spirit for the occasion. The staff during the event was so friendly and efficient - despite having 200+ people in attendance, you never had to wait more than a minute or two for them to get mixed drinks served. And everyone always had a smiling face. I highly recommend talking to Sarah and her staff if you need anything during an event.

August 16, 2024Small little Restaurant/Bar. It’s connected with an indoor walkway to the Best Western Plus hotel. The restaurant isn’t big and was super busy at 5pm. The waitress said you need reservations... read more on Friday but could seat us in 40-45 minutes or grab a seat at the bar. We got 2 seats at the bar and ordered a pint of beer!

The bartender keep check on everyone. The atmosphere was fun but not loud. The staff amazing and the food great! Both meals and a specialty draft and tax/tip out the door for $40!

Lovechild

We've been looking forward to getting into Lovechild for a while. With no reservations accepted, you usually have a long wait (1hr+) to get a table. We showed up just... read more before opening at 5pm and we were seated within 10 minutes (there was already a line of 15+ people waiting to get in). The atmosphere is incredible and worth the visit alone. Our server was very nice and welcoming. She had great timing of checking on us and making sure we had what we needed. Our drinks were delicious. Our food was great and arrived quickly. I'll be honest, I expected the food to be a bit more impressive, but it was still great.

April 6, 2024Gluten-free Menu upon request (see pic). The Habanero Margarita is amazing. Highly recommend the Lamb skewers (Grilled lamb spiedini) for an appetizer, although the Triple Cooked French Fries with Horseradish... read more sauce are my second favorite. Definitely two of the best appetizers I've had, and I am kind of a foodie. The Ribeye with Chimicurri is amazing, but it is a tie with the Braised Lamb Shank... you can't go wrong with either one. The flour-less chocolate cake is a great choice. So yummy, the Pistachio Creme Brulee is good... however, the custard on ours was not cold, so my favorite is the chocolate cake. Overall a great restaurant with excellent service and a perfect setting for any occasion!

I absolutely loved stopping here and getting some amazing food. The chicken thighs were SOO good, the triple cooked fries amazing, that horseradish sauce is TO DIE FOR. The tenderloin... read more was soooo delicious, the sauce that went with it was a lot salty, but still really good. I got the beet drop drink and it was Smokey and good. The server was SO sweet and so knowledgeable, if we lived here, I would be back consistently. For the price it was so worth it, and the restaurant was so dang cozy and romantic, absolutely worth it.

SAGRA Food and Wine

-
SAGRA is an absolute gem. From the moment you walk in (kind of feels like a speakeasy as it’s upstairs of Piggy’s), you’re welcomed like family, and the atmosphere perfectly... read more balances warmth and sophistication. The food? Outstanding. Every dish is crafted with care, and you can taste the quality in every bite. The flavors are bold yet refined, with an emphasis on fresh, seasonal ingredients. Whether you’re indulging in a multi-course dinner or simply savoring a perfectly prepared entrée, it’s clear that the kitchen operates with precision and passion. Compliments to the chef for designing a menu that’s comfortable but yet brings a new level of cuisine to the tired La Crosse food scene. The drink selection is just as impressive. Thoughtfully curated wines, creative cocktails (classics with a twist) , and expertly poured spirits make every pairing feel intentional. If you appreciate a well-crafted drink, SAGRA delivers on all fronts. And the service? Impeccable. The team is knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely invested in creating an unforgettable dining experience. They anticipated our needs before you even realize them and do it all with an effortless grace that makes the entire evening seamless. SAGRA isn’t just a restaurant; it’s an experience. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or just looking for an exceptional night out, this place has exceeded our expectations every single time.

One of the best meals I’ve had in la crosse. Wonderful food, drinks and service. It’s on the upper level of the piggy’s building, with a chalk board sidewalk sign,... read more so maybe a little tricky to find. They even have a tasting menu which I haven’t seen since I lived in California.

Wasn't too busy, but this place was definitely short staff. We waited to be seated for a while, tried to flag someone down, got ignored, and decided to seat ourselves.... read more A table down from us walked out they stated they waited 20 minutes for wine and were done waiting.

This waitress came brought us water, we ordered wine, came in a few minutes, ordered pasta and steak with a salad, everything came out fast. Steak was tender and cooked perfectly. House salad had very fresh greens. Dressing was great. I'm very impressed how the diner went. The waitress saved the night. Of course, I have to give credit to the chef, too.

I was going to meet... read more my friends after their doctor's appointments. We ended up arriving 20 minutes early. I let the host know we were here early, and if anything opened up, we were here! While waiting 15-20 minutes, 3 guys walked in, stating they did not have a reservation and that they were willing to wait. They got seated immediately! I brought this to the attention of the host as we've been waiting! So he put us in a room with a round table that seated I believe 10 people. They forgot about us sitting in there as I had to go find a server! The room was so dusty and dirty. Not a good experience.

February 23, 2025My best friend and I came here for valentines day. I made sure to make reservations well ahead of time and we were seated right away but were seated right... read more by the door on a cold snowy night. Our server right from the get out seemed put off by us, whether she was overwhelmed with it being a busy night or she thought we wouldn't tip well I'm not sure. She was nice and prompt and I don't fault her for this experience. She did make sure my martini was perfect made how I order and I loved it. We ordered seafood cakes and my friend found multiple bones. They were comped even though we did not ask for them to be. I fully believe if I ordered it, I will pay for it but it was a nice gesture. The main course - her steak which was $45 was cooked rare when she asked for medium and my "blue cheese" alfredo was basically just flour and cream. For $100 - tip not included - I would not choose to come here again for a special event. Drinks and an app, yes.

March 5, 2025Buzzard Billy’s has been a staple in La Crosse for as long as I can remember, and it continues to deliver a great dining experience. Our server greeted us promptly,... read more and we started with drinks and an appetizer. For the main course, I ordered the blackened prime rib with a blackened shrimp add-on, along with the fried alligator. The prime rib, offered only in medium well or well done due to the blackening process, was surprisingly tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. The blackened shrimp was good, but the up-charge didn’t feel entirely justified. The side vegetables, unfortunately, were a miss—over-seasoned and either steamed or boiled. I only ate the broccoli. That said, the atmosphere is great, and the restaurant remains a solid choice for a good meal. If you’re in the mood for Cajun-inspired flavors and a fun environment, Buzzard Billy’s is worth a visit! Would you add anything, or does this capture what you were going for?

January 29, 2025We were excited to try this restaurant but left very disappointed. I had the prime rib and it was not good. It was dry, very bland, no crust/bark, and was... read more more like a poorly cooked roast. It came with mixed vegetables that were also bland, very oily, and it looked like the color had been drained from them. The mashed potatoes were decent. I would not have eaten the meal if it wasn't so over priced at $40. My daughter had the ribeye and it was thin, overcooked, under seasoned, and was not worth $38. The vegetables were mushy to the point where we couldn't tell what some of them were. The stuffed bell pepper was mediocre. We ordered Cokes and Sprites to drink and they were served in the can - not classy. The only things we really enjoyed were the cheese curds and wings. The wait staff was nice but not attentive. The atmosphere was odd, it definitely felt like it was part of the hotel and the lighting was very odd - bright in the wrong spots. I definitely do not recommend dining here for dinner.

Ended up sitting at the bar and the bar tender was quick with service. The cheese squares were the highlight of the meal. They were perfectly fried and the marinara sauce was a fantastic pairing! Would much prefer that over the ranch. After seeing another google review rave about the wraps and the photo looked amazing, I decided to get that with a side of fries. Unfortunately, the chicken was dry and flavorless. I did enjoy the sauce and wished there was more of that flavor with the chicken. The fries were all right as they came in a variety. Overall, nothing too bad, just an average meal for me.

February 18, 2025Came for dinner with a friend. Staff were friendly and service was great. We had the cheese curds as an appetizer. They are amazing! I’ve been to The Crow once... read more before and ordered the cheese curds as well. They definitely still impress after several years. What I wasn’t impressed with was the glazed donut burger. It is a little bit of a false advertisement. The burger looks like it is between two halves of a donut, but it was actually a burger bun that was glazed like a donut. You get a similar experience, but with less quality. The burger should be called something else if that’s how it is always served, or just get some real donuts. I didn’t particularly like the fries, but my friend did. But overall, this is a great restaurant. I remember really enjoying it the last time I came and I definitely plan to come back when I am in La Crosse again.

Must try the cheese curds! Happy hour is only $5 compared to regular price of $10. Delicious and great deal!

My young family of 5 (kids age 6,4,&2) enjoyed not only lunch there this last Saturday but we loved it so much we... read more came back for breakfast on Sunday at 7 am while visiting La Crosse. Wonderful atmosphere and amazing food. They have magic 8 balls, Rubik's cubes, and coloring pages for the littles. My kids loved the waffles, chicken bites, and the fresh fruit off the “little yolks” menu. I enjoyed the French toast the first time and the biscuits and gravy the next morning. My husband had the chicken fried steak the first day and an omelet the second. Everything was delicious! Price was amazing!! Highly recommend! We’ll be back again!!

Hubs and I enjoyed challenging each other to the 80s trivia left on our table while we waited for our food. (I won!) Service was amazing and food was really good! We shared the “Those aren’t pillows!” biscuits and gravy 😆 and a Western omelette. No complaints - food was hot and delicious. Not to mention inexpensive! Our total bill was $25 with sodas. I smiled ear to ear the entire time and can’t wait to return for a little flash back to my childhood!

The main reason for not... read more a better review was the attitudes of the employees. Not one, but nobody seemed to want to be there. They have a bar area, but don't try and seat yourself without getting your name on the list. Which we did, then 15min passed and got seated at the bar anyways... It's worth a try, and hopefully, everyone will be in a better mood next time as a smile goes a long way.

LAX Grille – Where Thai Food Takes Flight in La Crosse! If you’re looking for a first-class food experience in La Crosse, LAX Grille is your ticket to deliciousness! This isn’t... read more your average layover spot—this is a non-stop flight to flavor town with some of the best Thai food in the area. The Crew: Fast, Funny & Fabulous First things first—let’s talk about the staff. These folks are the real MVPs, especially Chase Allen! Fast, funny, and fabulous, they make you feel like a VIP the moment you walk in. Leading the charge is Charles, the Team Leader extraordinaire, who took such good care of me and my friend that we briefly considered adding him to our will. The Pho That Stole My Heart Now, let’s talk about the food. The pho? Absolute perfection. The broth was so warm and rich that I swear it gave me emotional support. It’s the kind of soup that wraps you up like a cozy blanket on a cold Wisconsin night, and with generous amounts of meat and fresh herbs, it’s a meal fit for a king—or at least someone who appreciates really, really good Thai food. Also, the portion size? Easily enough for two. But let’s be real—I wasn’t sharing. A Full-Service Bar & Space for a Party? Sign Me Up! If you like your spicy curry with a side of cocktails, you’re in luck! The drinks here are fantastic—expertly mixed, refreshing, and the perfect way to wash down those bold Thai flavors. Whether you’re craving a classic cocktail or something a little more adventurous, they’ve got your back. Need space for a big gathering? No problem! LAX Grille has a private event room that can host up to 30 people—perfect for celebrations, team outings, or just gathering with friends who all happen to love Thai food as much as you do. Bright, Spacious & Welcoming The dining room is bright and airy, making it a great spot to enjoy a meal without feeling packed in like a bag of airline peanuts. Whether you’re dining solo, on a date, or with a big group, the atmosphere is just the right mix of casual and cool. Bonus points? They’ve got gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan options, so everyone can find something delicious to enjoy. Final Boarding Call: Get to LAX Grille ASAP! La Crosse has a lot of great food spots, but LAX Grille is a true standout. With incredible Thai flavors, top-notch service, and an inviting space that makes every visit feel special, this place deserves all the praise. Whether you’re in for a quick meal or making an evening out of it, you’ll leave full, happy, and already planning your next visit. Five stars, a chef’s kiss, and a standing ovation from me! ✈️🍜🔥 #JustLikeHome #Seattle

He asked and... read more they still made it for him. The fried rice was the best! I haven’t had fried rice like that in so long! The service was good, looks like they were down a staff but they still did great with what they had. I had the Tonkotsu ramen. The broth was great but I wasn’t too much of a fan with the type of noodle they used. It was still good though and I would be ok with going back again for the same thing. We ordered the red curry too and it was good but could’ve used more coconut milk because it was a bit watery. The spices were there though so I wouldn’t say the curry was bad. Overall, the food was good and the service was good, I would go back there for a date night again.

We ended with the ever famous grasshopper. But since we were full, we split it. I would 100% come back and try more of the menu. The atmosphere is the true supper club vibe.

We choose this place for my birthday lunch & the food was par excellence. They have an exciting menu.

November 15, 2023My husband and I were in La Crosse this weekend and decided on 4 Sisters for tapas. We got there for a late lunch and even though it was very... read more busy, we were seated on the patio right away. We decided to sit outside because the talking inside was very loud and my husband and I wouldn’t have been able to converse. Although the music on the patio was not necessary, in our opinion, we could at least talk over it. We were greeted and brought waters and my husband ordered a beer. For tapas we decided on the stuffed peppadews, bang bang nachos with carnitas, the chorizo stuffed dates, and the ahi tuna bites. We thought the food came out very fast!! The peppadews were sweet with a little kick complemented by the goat cheese. They were a great little bite. The dates were a bit heavy for a hot day but tasty nonetheless. Again, well-balanced. The ahi tuna bites were our least favorite of the bunch although there was nothing particularly wrong with them— we got ours in cucumber slices — and I think the cucumber slices were a bit big and dominated slightly. I’d get these again but maybe order them on the pitas (I think that was the other option). The nachos were yummy with a tasty corn salsa. We devoured all of our food and left happy and satisfied. We would definitely stop for the food again. Our server was great in the beginning but near the end of our meal we were waiting a long time for her. For us, the food was fantastic and outweighed the atmosphere and service hiccups.
