Turkey club sandwich was easy with large helping of turkey. Fish and chips also very good.Kid-friendliness: Kid menuWheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair ramp“

“We love it here! It's a great atmosphere with super friendly staff. Good prices and even better food. Drinks are a good price too and they have rotating cans to try new beers every time we go. Our favorite menu items are the pizza, island patty melt, wings, and the Mac and cheese bites! This is our favorite location for date night and it's top of mind for a great bar to sit at. Plus you have bowling and pool tables right there as well.“

“All Inn is a must try! This hidden gem has the most attentive and welcoming staff. The pork tenderloin and homemade chips are delicious. The Bloody Mary and burger were very good too. The bar area is large and there are tables for all size parties. We will definitely be back.“

“This restaurant was absolutely amazing! It is the definition of a hole in the wall. Service was amazing. As the picture shows they even made up a a drink just for us then wrote down the recipe. The was soup Chicken Enchilada was delicious. My wife hates clack beans and she still likes the soup. She got the fajita chicken wrap. That was really good! She put the whole thing away! I got the veggie burger with Gouda cheese with a huge amount of mushrooms piled on (I paid extra for them) I they came curly with fries or regular fries. The curly fries were just like Arby’s, which is a huge compliment from me. This place is highly recommended!!Dietary restrictions: They went out of their to accommodate my genetic for limitations.Kid-friendliness: This place is a bar. It really isn’t for kids.“

“Throw away your low expectations of "Bar Food" because this place has the BEST Food! Creative ideas that really pay off. Add in the fun bar activities like Karaoke and of course bowling and you have a great evening out. Bar Down and Popular Creek Bowl provides an exceptional and memorable night out. It's a place where you can enjoy top-notch bowling, belt out your favorite tunes during karaoke, and indulge in gourmet-quality food and drinks. The staff was attentive and friendly, adding to the overall positive experience. I'll definitely be returning for another night of fun at this amazing establishment.“

“Finally got to check out Schnell's Brauhaus the evening of Sunday 4/14, for the first time ever! Was in the mood for German food after having some fantastic German food at Kegel's Inn up in West Allis, WI this past Friday night 4/12 before the Luke Combs concert at American Family Field! My friend that recommended Kegel's also recommended Schnell's since she herself is German and grew up having her German grandma's amazing cooking from The Fatherland! Anyway, I ordered $125 of take-out from Schnell's this past evening and left a tip of over 30%! In brief, all the food tasted great (fresh, flavorful, and in large portions)! My order was accurate and ready for pick up in 20 minutes! For appetizers, I ordered the Brat Bite Basket, Curry Wurst with Fries, Bavarian Pretzel, and Cheese Curds! For entrees, I ordered the Veal Schnitzel and Sausage Platter, with sides of German Potato Salad and Buttered Green Beans! For dessert, I ordered the Apple Strudel! Like I said, all the food was absolutely DELICIOUS! I think I might be dining in next time I come in though since I saw that the restaurant had outdoor seating in front plus the inside of the restaurant looked clean, cozy and welcoming (they had tvs behind the bar plus an arcade game section). In addition, there were entire families with kids having a great time both inside and outside of the restaurant! So, looks like I won't have to make the schlep all the way to Wisconsin nor ChIraq the next time I'm craving German food!“

“The stuffed pizza was very good! The thin crust, IMO, was just good. The service was very good, and the restaurant atmosphere was very good - clean, bright, modern, friendly. A fun and cheerful place to eat with friends and family!Vegetarian options: You can definitely order pizza without meat. There are salads and other options that can be ordered without meat, I believe.Parking: This is located in the Arboretum shopping area so there's plenty of parking.“

“I visited Peggy Kinnane's at the recommendation of someone I struck up a conversation with while waiting in line a few weeks back. I was told if I wanted really good food to celebrate St Patrick's Day that I should go to Peggy Kinnane's-and I was told correct! Even though I didn't quite make it for St. Patrick's Day, I did find the food absolutely delicious! The atmosphere is warm and welcoming and the service is great! I definitely recommend checking out Peggy Kinnane's!“

“Went on a whim on Friday and had a great experience with Lizzie. She was patient and super helpful when making recommendations. Literally everything she suggested was to die for. Can't wait until I'm back in the area ....... making sure Lizzie is working before heading in!“

“Great place. Bartender made us really good food even after the kitchen had been closed. He went the extra mile and turned everything back on just for us. Food was excellent as was the service. We WILL be back for more. Thanks for Making our night!“

“This is a really good local establishment. It's a small bar with what looked like a decent outdoor area. It was burger night and the smash burger was excellent. The birria tacos were also very good. This isn't some highbrow place... just a small local joint that is serving up a couple of really good items along with good drinks. The bartender was friendly and I was glad we went there.“

“I had a chance to swing in last week and it's a nice, comfortable setting. The food was excellent if you are interested in Austrian/German bites. The people working here were super nice compared to similar tyes of places in the area. They even had a 50% off beer special going on! I will be returning for sure.“

“Well, this place wasn't around in my younger years pulling up by boat...and mooring the boat to the Turnkey Motor boat pier docks to swoop up Chuck (RIP) and Frank. However, remembering it being only a parking lot. It's a great addition to the Reef across the street. It's a nifty little bar just to the south of Burtons bridge. Not sure, if you can pull up by boat and dock (might want to consult with Turnkey Motors first) before doing so. I can honestly say...I like it's location. To bad this wasn't established sooner back in the day. They have a taco Tuesday special for a $1.00. Surprisingly, the menu is quite elaborate. They have eggs Benedict - that I'm definitely coming back to try. Everything I saw coming out of the kitchen looked awesome and tasty. Very nice place and atmosphere. They have an outside river bar beer garden, live band entertainment, horseshoe pits, volleyball. Even met some nice bikers from Rebel Cause - in which I knew nothing about them until that day (Highly Support & Respect) them and their cause. It was a great time, I enjoyed hanging out there. It brought back some good memories. Definitely worth while stopping in, even more so if your an old gearhead from back in the day. Great job! Look forward to coming back again soon. ??? A+!!!“

“I haven't seen a mention of the beer battered mushroom appetizers. The best ever. Those and their sausage pizza can't be beat anywhere. The staff is also great. We haven't sampled the entire menue but everything we've had has been off the charts great.“

“We frequent this place ever week or every other week. Have to express that we love "T". Always does a fantastic job taking care of customers! Good dive bar with decent prices! We typically go during day and happy hour and have never had an issue. I feel that security could strengthen. Overall a good hangout spot.“

“We went for pizza and they were quick and polite and friendly The food came in a good amount of time it was excellent and we had so much food that we had to take some home and boxes and they were reasonably priced Great place highly recommend! Now I'd“

“I've been looking for a reasonably priced, fresh fish fry in my area for a while and I stumbled on the Irish Mill pub. The fish fry is only available Wednesday evening through Saturday, or until their weekly load of fresh cod runs out. Since the fish is never frozen and they make their own beer batter, it is 1,000 times better than every other bar where they just fry up some dried up frozen cod strips. This place is highly recommended.“

“Good experience overall! We went a little off peak so it wasn't nearly as busy but it still felt lively. Service was a little slow but the meal made up for it. Id you're thinking about upgrading to the zucchini fries do it! If you get the Jack Daniels burger, ask them to lather it in the sauce, it was completely missing it. Overall would come again“
