“The Barbacoa tacos were delicious. Definitely will be back to try more!”
“I never thought I would be a food plan kind of person. But a co-worker started using Simple Plan Foods and the meals looked great and smelled amazing. So I gave the idea a try. I started with a simple lunch plan for a week and now I am hooked. This is a very affordable and convenient method of have a consistent and healthy prepared meal ready every day of the week. I highly recommend giving it a try and see if this is for you. You might be surprised”
“Bijou Bistro was a guest favorite! The food was creative, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Service was smooth, professional, and perfectly timed with the flow of the evening. They truly elevated the cocktail hour and wedding experience!”

“5th year in a row we’ve rented the group space for our post-Christmas office party. It never disappoints. A perfect space for our energetic group who loves to chat, laugh, and move around a bit. Bonus that there is great beer available, a friendly bartender, AND we can bring in whatever food we want to feed our crew. Such a great option. Looking forward to next year!”
“BEST fish fry I’ve ever had! 100/10. The cajun fries are amazing, too.”

“We are regularly at Randy's, about every Friday you'll find us there. We have never had a bad meal,always plenty of food and the prices are very fair. The wait staff are always friendly, our food comes out fast. I would definitely recommend Randy's for a good meal, breakfast, lunch,and dinner all good.”
“The food was amazing. The service was even better. My child and I have an egg allergy. When we let the server know we wanted to exclude the egg, he asked if it was an allergy. When we said yes, he immediately suggested to add tofu. With no additional fee. Most places charge for adding even if you take something away. I will be going back! Not only for the food that was wonderful, but for the service! It is much appreciated!”
“My mornings as of late have been spent reflecting on all I'm grateful for. Not due to any holiday traditions or faith or that, but just to simply go over the details and experience in microdosing all the new people Ive met, the new places Im walking, the new days Im waking up to sunshine and a smile. That time has been spent at this AWESOME (not so little) WONDERFULLY FRIENDLY and DELICIOUS Cafe for Breakfast and Brunch called The Nucleus ⚛ Their staff is unbelieveably polite, considerate and lgbtqii+ inclusive all around! This has been a place Ive only started in but I already feel its now a regular haunt and a spot if you're in the area cant be missed if you want to get up on the right piece of toast~ [ALSO: Vegan Options!!] Take a morning and treat yo self. Go to: The Nucleus⚛ Eau Claire, WI.”

“So good! I went for the first time this Saturday, true hidden gem.”
“We were in here tonight for supper. Our waitress Riana was excellent. She made sure the food and drinks we ordered were choice not food allergies. I am sure on this snowy night they would have rather been home but Riana was friendly and cheerful. The food was great as always but service stood above that. Thanks.”
“Outstanding food with surprisingly large portions. I had the scrumptious custard french toast and my daughter ordered the delectable biscuits and gravy. Each was divine! Our server was charming and efficient, so our dining experience was made that much more pleasant!”

“7 Brew is the superior coffee shop of all time! There are several flavor options and choices, some you cannot get at any other coffee place. Have trouble deciding? The staff are exceptional at helping you decide a great fit for you. The staff are always friendly and helpful.”
“We just moved to the area and I was less than impressed with the previous local OG. But we figured we’d try the OG in Eau Claire. I have a shellfish allergy and within 5 minutes of me mentioning the allergy our server notified his manager Nick who promptly came to the table and explained they would take extra precautions and delivered our food. Our waiter Levi did an excellent job! We didn’t have to ask for anything he saw our needs before we did. Clearly this OG management knows how to run an AWESOME restaurant! Thanks for the awesome experience!”
“Such a unique experience for ordering and then how you pour your own taps, with an entire wall of tap beers. The atmosphere was excellent! Loved that I could just grab a flight board and load up and try new flavors. I had about 4 Flights. The food was amazing, I had the Seasonal Duck Wontons, the Pancake Battered Cheese Curds, and the Korean BBQ Chicken Flatbread. The staff was very friendly and helpful. This place became an instant favorite and had me wanting to buy their merch on my first visit. I bought a 5oz and a 12 Oz glass and then bought a very nice t shirt as well. Loved it all!”
“I've never had a good experience at this restaurant. haven't been here in years. I decided to swing in for a quick salad after my workout. I got there at 12:50 PM on a Tuesday. I was able to order right away, I didn't order a beverage. At 1:00 the couple behind me sat down, at 1:05 the couple behind me ordered. At 1:10 the couple behind me got their order(S) I ordered a chicken Caesar salad and was solo. I had other oligations going on I had to get to, I figured it wouldn't take that long for a chicken salad. As I got to the festival foods doors, The manager came out of famous Dave's and yelled, "Don't you want your food?" 😂 ....Yeah I sure did but not 40 minutes later sorry not sorry. Thanks for nothing!”
“I love this 7-Brew. Downside was the very rude staff during the Labor Day event. There was no need for the staff to talk to us rudely about product being out. Customer service was given to the vehicle in front of us but we were treated very rudely. This event should’ve been more thought out and I am very disappointed in the service”
“My partner and I came in recently without a reservation and the hostess looked quite busy as expected on a busy night. She still greeted us with a smile and got us a table as quick as she possibly could. Our server was wonderful too, smiles all around the establishment. Our food came out quick and hot with enough for us to take home as well. Will definitely be eating here again!”
“Wonderful food! We went on a Friday night and it was quite busy but that didn't affect the kindness of the staff. Food was fresh and staff did a nice job of refilling food. It was our first time here and we will definitely come back. We've been to other buffets and some are just dirty or the food doesn't look fresh. I have low expectations but I genuinely enjoyed my time and food here!”
“I love to visit Akame Sushi because the food is always the way I love it. Staff members have great attitudes and are very attentive. If you love sushi this is the perfect place in town to go to.”
“The seasoning is overpowering. It's not a place for older adults who need to limit their salt intake.”

“Used some accumulated points and got a hamburger kids meal. 7000 points. Hamburger because cheeseburger option is not there with points, then cheeseburger 2000 points. Then under deals got a free medium fry with minimum $1 purchase. So I got a xs dr pepper and paid under $1.50. So I'd say me and my daughter had a good haul for the price! Hastings way, Eau Claire WI.”
“Get down to Stella Blues. Amazing food, generous portions and save room for dessert!!! Shout out to Hollie our server. She had great recommendations and was very patient with us as we were trying to figure out what delicious meal to try for our first experience. We will definitely be back!”
“Omg, that is the best of the best. 12 out 10‼️ All the food and the waitress was phenomenal‼️I left a $40 tip! That how awesome it was. No regrets or second thoughts about it. Our new favorite place‼️ I am already craving their ginger salad and sushi and its only been a couple hours‼️ You have to go try it.”

Takeout Restaurants
“An employee named Debbie brought out my food with a smile. Some of the best service I’ve have in Eau Claire. the sandwiches were aesthetically pleasing and absolutely delicious. I would recommend mancinos to anyone looking for amazing food and a welcoming environment.”
“One of my favorite restaurants ever! I probably go too often but it’s all just so good!”
“Every time I’m in town, this coffee shop is a must-stop for me! The drinks are always fantastic.. smooth, flavorful, and made just right. Beyond the coffee, the shop itself is absolutely adorable. It has such a cozy, welcoming vibe, and I love browsing through the cute gifts and little goodies they have for sale. It’s the perfect spot to grab a drink, relax, and maybe even pick up a treat or two to take home. Highly recommend stopping in if you’re nearby!”
“Stopped to grab a bite on my way back to MN. After 3 hours driving, I wanted quick and hassle free. Ordered the kale crunch salad and 8 pc grilled chicken bites. The drive thru was efficient and easy. The staff was so pleasant and I was back on the road before I knew it! My order was right and hit the spot. This will be a stop on further trips to Madison for my whole family!”
“Great experience at Chako. We did the BBQ and everything was delicious especially the garlic shrimp. I do wish myself and my wife could do different meal types. I would’ve liked to do the all you can eat sushi with added BBQ and she would’ve just done the BBQ but I guess that is not an option. We both would’ve had to get sushi with BBQ added on making it more $$ instead of me doing the sushi with added BBQ and her doing just the BBQ. We will be back though”

“Ordered a cheese tray and veggie tray for a work party recently. 100% happy. We’ll put together, displayed beautifully, and great quality product. Ordered last summer too for a grad party and was very impressed then too. ECC&D is now our go-to for cheese, veggie, and fruit trays!”
“It was our first time at Sammy’s. Hubby and I wanted something quick and simple and affordable. I had always wanted to stop for the salad buffet. We ordered the lunch special which is the personal pizza and salad bar. The salad bar was good but if I had my way, I wish it had greens and not shredded iceberg. I’d pay a dollar or two more for that. 😂 But it was still good and fresh. The waitress was SUUUUPPPEERR friendly. I asked her recommendation for pizza and she said the primo which is what I ordered. It did not disappoint! What I noticed immediately that it was REAL sausage chunks. Not the cheap pellets you sometimes see. Also I saw that there was sausage evenly distributed to ensure you get a piece of meat at every bite. Most places don’t do that and it drives me nuts. The crust was thin and crunchy which I loved. There was a good sauce to cheese ratio. If you want something affordable, stop at this great mom n pop restaurant. They even have take home frozen pizzas. No cardboard pizzas here. We will be regular customers when we crave pizza. Yumm!”
“First time coming here wasn't sure want to get. The cook was helpful said the original Italian sub with a side of Alfredo sauce. But only if I liked spicy. And oh my was he right. My friend had been to a fazoli when she was younger. She got the 7.99 deal. Her meal was just as good. The garlic bread sticks were very good. Just know they are very soft so anyone can eat them. If you dip them in Alfredo sauce they can get a bit salty. Their sweet tea is not as sweet as McDonald's but still a decent amount of sweet. Kind of a good thing they are not closer to us. Would be fatter.”
“Bartender, Amber, was amazing. She is so personable and makes you feel very welcomed. The atmosphere is a typical dive bar. It is a very small place. I did not eat this time but they do serve frozen pizza and a couple apps which are good. They have phenomenal happy hour specials and a free drink at 5pm daily. They also offer karaoke multiple nights a week.”
“Growler Guys is an Eau Claire fixture. When I lived in Eau Claire, this was my regular hang out and I met the love of my life here (no guarantees - but give it a try!) The owner is a stand up guy and the staff really cares about customer experience. It’s a true community spot and even on days off as a busy resident physician, I found myself volunteering for the community events (Mother’s day, Easter, Thanksgiving, etc.) If you are young/new parents, you and your children are so welcome! If you’re single or childless and just want to meet new friends, don’t think twice. For those who limit or don’t drink alcohol, there are plenty of alternatives. This was the first place I ever visited when I moved to Eau Claire (peri-pandemic) and the last place I bid farewell to when I moved. It will always have a special place in my heart. Run, don’t walk folks!”
“I come to Culver’s pretty much every week, and it never disappoints. The food is always fresh and tastes great every time I go. The place has a really chill, relaxed vibe, which makes it a nice spot to hang out with friends or just grab a quick meal. Overall, it’s super consistent and definitely one of my favorite places to eat with my friends.”
“I was so impressed by the staff here! We just left after a very hectic early morning Packer game and I was just so impressed by how amazing the service was! Despite the large crowd they were attentive, fast and so welcoming. It seemed like they all genuinely enjoyed it all when it would have been easy to feel overwhelmed. Plus the food and Bloody Mary’s were delicious! 10/10 would recommend for a game or just a few drinks! Will be back!”
“First time customer here. Excellent entree—Gorgonzola penne with peppers.Great staff!”
“I really like the pita chips I bought - but noticed they are using soybean oil to fry them in, which is one of the most unhealthy oils we can eat. Hopefully they change that.”

“Best BBQ around the area that I have ever had. everything tastes great! the onion and pickles on a pulled pork sandwich (which I normal dont eat onions) something about the combinations there are wonderful! the local honey mixed in with the butter for the amazing cornbread. the tritip steak when they have it YUM!! to the dessert with cool whip. the variety of catered food for wedding and all other events blows my mind every time! even people from other states like Texas, I've heard compliment the food there, and that says something. 100% recommend this place and 100% worth every penny...#fulleverytime4alongtime#foodietime”
“So good mango w mango bubbles and Boba team flavor of the month w/ tapioca pearls yummy!!!”
“We treated ourselves to dinner there on the Saturday after Christmas. It was amazing. Impecable details abound from the attentive wait staff, to the cooked-to-perfection (and personal requests) meals, desserts and cocktails. An excellent choice for feeling pampered... perfection without ego! Comfortable! A special note of thanks to Eric for his attention to every detail.”
“I will recommend Metropolis to all family and friends my children loved it here. There was so much to do and we felt safe with all the friendly staff everywhere!! Special SHOUT OUT to Sophia!! we had some issues with our online promotion and she helped us all the way through. She was professional, kind, and did her best to make sure we received the best customer service experience!!”
“Love going here. Environment is very nice! The bartenders are very friendly”

“The Joynt is the coolest bar on Water Street. It should be on the National Registry of Historic Places, too. I had the pleasure of meeting Odetta once when she was in Minneapolis promoting the Stillwater Jazz Festival and we talked about the Joynt, which she had played at a decade before.”
“WOW, was this good! I'm a Chicago girl, and grew up with gyros running through my veins, and this was just right! I requested grilled onions, which were perfect atop a blanket of gyros atop a bed of rice. There was a side of a bean puree (maybe chickpeas/garbanzos?) that was so good I could have eaten a bowl of that, alone! The falafel was perhaps a bit dense in texture (personal preference, not a criticism!), but the flavor was terrific, and the sauce was so good you could bathe in it! The owner's wife was flying solo this Sunday but, despite that, food was done in a completely reasonably amount of time, especially given the falafel was fried fresh to order, as were my requested onions. She couldn't have been sweeter, confirmed to me that the rice is Basmati, falafel mix was made that day, kept apologizing for the delay (truly, a 6-8 minute wait for fresh-to-order food is nothing; I've waited 20-25 minutes at Burger King in Black River Falls! Yikes!). The prices were super-reasonable, and the quality of everything was excellent. Consider me the newest fan, and I encourage visitors to Oakwood Mall or folks who live nearby to visit; we need another good Mediterranean option in Wisconsin, and these guys are terrific! I make chicken shawarma all the time; looking forward to my next visit to Eau Claire to try theirs, as well as those Mediterranean fries I keep hearing so much about!!! Yours truly!!! ~Chrissie Odeen”

“Despite all the recent negative reviews, stopped by around 10:30PM on a Monday night and did not have to wait very long, food was correct and service was fast and polite. Would come back. Perhaps this location just gets overwhelmed by online orders easily during certain times of the evening. My wait was not long.”

“Absolutely love this place!! The servers are amazing always going the extra mile, I was checked on a bunch while waiting during a big rush, normally expected wait time during a rush, and the food was great! The manager was even short staffed and they still did a great job. The quesadilla burger is my favorite thing to eat there and it always is DELICIOUS. 💖”
“Last Wednesday night at approximately 10:15 PM, I went to Taco Bell on Craig Road and the person that made my chili cheese burrito with sour cream was phenomenal. It was fast and very friendly and the burrito was the biggest I’ve ever seen out of all of the Taco Bell‘s in Eau Claire this one I believe is the best.”

“I'm from Milwaukee and have high standards for food. these last few years have been a challenge in finding good restaurants. EC, check this place out! I've never been disappointed. from packer games to take out, everything I've had has been delicious. You are a go to for me! Try the Cuban or the Nashville hot, which the bartender recommended today. IMO, fantastic and reasonable prices. Please give my respect to the bartender. He is amazing!”

“simply the Best authentic Mexican food within the Chippewa valley and some it's consistent the portions are humongous the salsas are amazing in fact ask for the jalapeno salsa but just be careful LOL the two for one margaritas are 3 days a week and they are amazing their choice of tequila's are huge the Berea is amazing the highlight for my husband is the carnita dinner you will definitely take some home I myself like the capachano tacos.. I've never seen burritos this long and huge in my life. everything is perfect and the service is fast..”
“My husband and I both got smash burgers based on reviews. The burgers were both good but so small. Usually when we get burgers elsewhere, we each leave with half leftover because we are so full. We left here still hungry! Definitely worth upgrading to double smash burgers. $16 for a single smash burger is high considering you can get quite large double smash burgers at the district for the same price. The fries were not good. Very salty. And the chips had no flavor. But I will say I was pleasantly surprised when I got the bill and didn’t see an upcharge for adding lettuce, pickles, and mayo to my burger. Most places will penny pinch wherever they can so I really appreciated that these items were not an upcharge. I also love that they use fresh mushrooms and not canned! We are willing to try this place again!”

“I don't go to Panera often (I can count on one hand the number of times I've been to one) but I can see why it was busy. The food was really good. A little pricey (but honestly what isn't these days) but not completely ridiculous. The cashier was patient with my slow order (usually I preview a menu for places that I'm not used to but this time I went rogue)
All in all, will likely go again.”
“Absolutely great pizza, super unique combinations that you'll never see anywhere else (but are always delicious!) The owners are also very good people. I'm so glad to support this local business!”
