I always enjoy coming here as my go-to restaurant in New Richmond! They have updated their menu and given some more options as well as having a drink and dessert menu on the tables now. I recommend the smashburgers, fries, green beans, hot pot roast, quesadilla, and wings. The chicken bacon ranch wrap is good I would eat again but not my favorite item on the menu. The kettle chips are good but wish they had some more seasoning salt on them. The summer salad is delicious!
They have various events and specials throughout the week like wing Wednesdays, taco Tuesdays, video bingo, karaoke, and patio music.
I enjoy the atmosphere as the staff has always been kind even when it’s busy. Sometimes it can be slow but that’s what you can expect when it’s popular!
I think the prices are decent and I believe there is a discount for cash versus card payment.
There is a patio out back that is dog friendly! And they also have a separate bar out in the patio and a stage for live music.

The food is fantastic. There is tons of space. They have slot machines that dont pay but they are fun. Naw I put in 20 and walked away with 50. Just have to know when to stop. I got wings with spicy garlic. Their sauce and blue cheese is amazing. And i got a burger to go for my wife. She said it was huge and fantastic.

4.6 Stars – A Solid Spot with Some Flavorful Surprises and a Dash of Nostalgia

So, my wife and I wandered into this place hoping to find a new favorite. The kind of spot where the food makes you forget your phone exists for 20 minutes. And while it didn’t hit icon status, it definitely earned its stripes.

Walking In:
Right off the bat, we hit the classic “do we seat ourselves or wait and awkwardly pretend not to be lost?” moment. No signs, no greeter, just raw instinct and mild confusion. After about 30 seconds of reading the room like Sherlock Holmes, we seated ourselves. Mystery solved.

The Vibe:
Now this is where the place shines. Rustic pub charm, dartboards, TV screens like you’re in a Buffalo Wild Wings, but better. And our booth? Came with its own remote-controlled TV. We threw on golf (because why not?) and let it roll in the background. Then I spotted it. The holy grail of bar games: a domed hockey table. I hadn’t seen one in nearly a decade, not since my early young and 21 days in Vegas. Instant nostalgia points unlocked.

Appetizer:
We kicked it off with the spinach artichoke dip, and let me say: fire. Creamy, flavorful, and baked to perfection. But the real MVP? The chips. These weren’t your sad, stale, bagged excuses for dipping. These were crispy, fresh, and clearly made with care. A+ chip quality. Sure, we ran a little low on dip by the end, but that’s only because we were devouring it.

Mains:
My wife ordered The Sheriff burger with cheese curds. She said the BBQ sauce was too sweet, but here’s the kicker—I’m the one who doesn’t do sweet. Not diabetic, just passionately anti-sugar in my savory food. And yet… I thought it was great. Smoky, rich, and bold. I think her palate just took a personal day.

I went for the Reuben, because I’m on a quest to find the best one in the Midwest. Visually? Beautiful. Taste-wise? Solid. Not the crown jewel, but easily a 7.2/10 on the Reub-o-Meter. The bread was toasted just right, the corned beef was tender, and the sauerkraut held its own.

Cheese Curds:
Good crunch, great batter, but a bit salty. Like, “remind me to hydrate after” salty. Still tasty, just could’ve used a little balance. Which brings me to my unsolicited genius: they should offer a cup of carmel with the curds. Sounds weird until you try it. Salty curds + sweet honey = undercover gourmet move. Wisconsin folks, trust me on this one.

Service:
Server was friendly and on top of things at first, but once the food hit the table, drink refills became rare beasts. Not a huge deal, but worth noting since it wasn’t exactly packed, maybe four tables and a half-full bar.

The Breakdown:

Reub-o-Meter: 7.2/10

BBQ Sweetness Scale (as a sweet-hater): Surprisingly enjoyable – 8/10

Cheese Curd Salinity: Bold, but begging for a drizzle of Caramel

Chip Game: Strong. Crispy. Reliable. 10/10

Atmosphere: 9.5/10 (TV + domed hockey = power move)

Overall Vibe: Casual, fun, with just enough quirks to make it memorable

Final Rating: 4.6 Stars – Come for the food, stay for the vibes, and next time… maybe sneak in your own honey packet like a rebel.

We stopped by to grab a pickup order, and ended up ordering another meal for a friend – so waited just about ten minutes. Best ten minutes ever! The staff is phenomenal and engaging, every one of them. Great fun atmosphere — even on a cold Saturday night.

This place was so busy, we knew there would be a wait. Well worth it!! We were greeted quickly and the staff were all extremely friendly and attentive. Prices were not bad, and the food was excellent. The bloody Mary was delicious. They even have a kids menu, which is just perfect. This is a half hour drive from me, but I will definitely make the trip again!

Food is really good! Do not order a margaritas unless you like them made with starry. I should have read the menu before ordering one.

We both ordered the Cobb salad and it was so delicious! It’s hard to find a restaurant that has salad on the menu, much less a really good one. The grilled chicken on top was so good! They have a lot of great salad options plus a really large menu. Our friends who recommended it to us love their fish tacos. The bartender was so friendly and attentive. I have never left a review before but this place is definitely worth going to. We will definitely be back.

Got lunch here with my parents and the food and service was awesome! We had a very friendly server that took care of us for food and drinks. The cheese curds were amazing, a very nice light breading and they came in a metal cup. The Clucker, the famous chicken sandwich on the menu is what I ordered. I got it fried knowing how good the cheese curds were and I could not have been happier with my choice! This chicken sandwich was simply amazing, and would you look at that fancy branded bun? Not to mention the house chips were very delicious and crispy.I will definitely be coming back to this location!

It was Halloween night and. The bar was packed. Everyone let their hair down, put on a costume and had a great time. There was a DJ there, ppl were dancing, playing gambling machines, throwing darts and shooting pool. The bartender got on the bar and poured free shots in looks mouths as she walked by.

Stopped at Wild Badger this past Thursday after a show at Somerset got cancelled from a storm.

For an impromptu Sublime with Rome gig at a local bar, the atmosphere and service here were INCREDIBLE. Door staff were quick and attentive, bartenders were on point, and the waiter (Rider) was making sure everyone was taken care of. Somehow he made plenty of rounds with a full tray of shots and freezies through a packed crowd!

Staff didn’t even seem to break a sweat with wall to wall people and such chaos after a massive storm and a large show being cancelled. I can’t believe that a small local bar had better service on such short notice than an entire music venue did with months of planning.

Patio here also had a no smoking section with comfy couch seating, and a sign that said they are pet friendly! We will definitely make a trip out to visit Wild Badger again in the future!!
