“Was disappointed that I couldn't get a fish fry at a different venue so decided to go here and was pleasantly surprised by the food and service. It happened to be karaoke night so my daughter wasn't thrilled, but we enjoyed the food and service was of the charts! Would decimals recommend for a fish fry as the fish was AMAZING and really filling ❤️❤️❤️“
“Excellent dining experience. Greeted immediately, sat promptly and greeted by our waitress in reasonable time (even with a live band and busy atmosphere thanks to Valentine's Day). Typical starter of cheese curds, great texture and batter. Nice flavor. The meal was the star. I enjoyed a classic burger, well-done, with fries. It was tasty, not dry, and had a great char-broiled flavor and the fries were perfectly crispy. My husband had the Elk burger, medium done, with truffle fries and said it's the best burger he's ever had. I highly recommend this spot for a quality appetizer and/or meal. Our waitress (Rose) was attentive and friendly, but not "overly-present" (which I truly appreciated). Overall very happy to spend my time and money here.Vegetarian options: Vegetarian options are available.Dietary restrictions: Cauliflower pizza crust was an option I saw on the menu!“
“Came to this restaurant as was told about $.50 boneless wings on Sundays. Got garlic Parmesan and Chipotle sauces which were both good. I had the salmon wrap which was fantastic with beer battered fries and my husband had the Beast burger with crinkle fries. He said it was good just a little dry for his taste. We both also had a Bloody Mary with horseradish, mine was spicy and his was not. He thought my spicy one was too spicy but I enjoyed it that way! Definitely want to go back again! On top of the food being great, the waitress was great, it was my husbands birthday so she surprised us with 2 shots that were so good I asked her what they were, she said it was pineapple upside down cake. She even held a candle for my husband to blow out. then when we went up to bar to pay for our dinner, she gave an extra chip to get a free drink when we come back. Much appreciated great service!“
“Went for weekday breakfast with an 8-top. Service was great, food was amazing (kids loved the Belgian waffles, my bacon skillet was out of this world, and others had bacon/eggs/hash browns that were eaten heartily).Will definitely return when back in town.Kid-friendliness: Kids breakfast menu was perfect. They had crayons and coloring sheets, too.Wheelchair accessibility: Tables had chairs and the hostess, upon hearing we had elderly guests, immediately offered to pull out chairs/add an extra table if anyone had mobility issues or needed extra space for walkers, etc.“
“Always good food and big proportions. The 2 sister who own the restaurant and the staff are always so friendly and welcoming! Best place to go for breakfast, lunch, or dinner! Meat lovers skillet is my favorite!! Steak and shrimp are amazing too! Never have had a bad meal from here. Always friendly staff.“
“Restaurants in hotels can be a hit or miss and Van Acre hit the mark. The food was phenomenal, from breakfast to dinner. I’ve had the breakfast buffet twice and they had ample of selection and protein selection were not greasy at all. Phil was very down to earth and accommodating - kudos to him! There was another gentleman who served me (can’t recall the name) and he, too, was very attentive.On to dinner service. Portions were very generous but I can’t say enough on how spectacular the food tasted. Get the smoke plate - the pork belly alone was to die for.This is by far one of the best restaurants in a hotel I’ve ever been with respect to quality of food and phenomenal service by all staff.Kid-friendliness: Washroom had Koala care with liners and staff offered booster seat.“
“Found this while in town for skiing and needed a good breakfast on the way home. The Sunday buffet has great food options ranging from traditional breakfast to building your own taco. Good value for the money and the staff is very courteous. They often make rounds to top off your coffee and clear plates.“
“I love the Mint. Whenever I'm in Wasau I make sure to stop in because it is one of the last true, old school diners around. The place has history. Their breakfast used to bowl me over but this time the eggs seemed to be powdered. I could be wrong, but they just weren't the same. Came back the next day for dinner and the chicken and stuffing was just as delicious as I remembered. The place is always buzzing with the locals and it's write in the heart of downtown so you can do a little walking after your meal. Come enjoy a small slice of Americana.“
“Surprisingly nice restaurant. I ate here years ago and I didn't like it but they have definitely updated and the food was great. The portions were large enough that I had breakfast for 2 days. Our server was great. Our coffee cup was always full. Will eat here again.“
“The staff are super friendly and the food is always awesome! We love to come here for breakfast and I like that they also serve their lunch items during breakfast because sometimes I'm in the mood for other things. The portions are generous and the cost is fair. I love to get the soup with a chicken bacon ranch wrap. ?“
“If you're in Wausau and have a craving for authentic Mediterranean cuisine, there's a spot you simply can't miss. This restaurant has quickly become a favorite for locals and visitors alike, thanks to its exceptional menu and inviting atmosphere.At the heart of their menu are the Feta Gyros – a true masterpiece of flavors. Each gyro is generously filled with succulent meat, wrapped in a soft, warm pita, and perfectly complemented by the tangy feta. It's a dish that not only satisfies your hunger but also transports you straight to the Mediterranean coast with every bite.But the experience doesn't end there. The Greek fries are a revelation in themselves. Seasoned to perfection and cooked to a golden crisp, they are the ideal accompaniment to any main dish. These aren't just any ordinary fries; they're a culinary journey.And for dessert, the baklava is an absolute must-try. Each layer of this sweet, flaky pastry is a testament to the chef's attention to detail and commitment to traditional flavors. It's the perfect ending to an already delightful meal.This restaurant isn't just about great food; it's about the experience. From the warm, welcoming ambiance to the attentive service, every visit is memorable. Whether you're a Mediterranean cuisine aficionado or trying it for the first time, this place in Wausau is sure to impress. Don't miss out on this culinary gem – it's a dining experience you'll want to relive again and again.“
“Read reviews about the pizza, so had to try it. It did not disappoint. Great sauce. Good cheese. Sausage very good. Crust crispy. Only negative was it was a little too salty. Couple next to us had the taco pizza, and it looked very good. Will try it next time. Great friendly service. Give this place a try!Kid-friendliness: More of a bar, so not kid friendly.“
“We got there when it opened because I was that excited to try this place, and it did not dissappoint! We were visiting Wausau for a fundraiser walk, and Thrive was part of a celebration! The brussel sprout appetizer was amazing! Then, the cajun style shrimp was delish, and omg the pork chop.......yes! nailed it!“
“Amelia made our visit wonderful. She knew everything about the menu and answered our questions. Also checked in often. And oh yeah, the food is awesome too. Had the soup and shared a pizza. Finished dinner with "huge" piece of carrot cake. As a person who rarely does reviews and only when the restaurant really deserves it, Red Eye Brewing really knocks it out of the park.“
“Our server jaziyah (sorry if i misspelled her name) was amazing ! She was very sweet and on top of everything even though she was training another server and looked pretty busy. Definitely best service I’ve had at a restaurant will be coming again !“
“MBC is our favorite restaurant in all of Wausau. My boys' favorite restaurant in their whole life time has been Red Robin, until now. They've finally gotten beaten. Sorry, Red Robin! You definitely need to step it up a few notches to compete with this place!“
“LOVE this place. The ambience is really cool, the service was spectacular and the food was delicious! I had the Bet you can't burger (I did) and my wife had the prime rib sandwich (which i finished later) Excellent! Great curds and fries too. Great mixed drinks as well. Highly recommended!“
“I get my food for pick up or delivery so I can't tell you much about the atmosphere... EVERY SINGLE thing I have gotten from their menu has been SPOT ON! From their delicious burgers to the pizza & pizza fries, their breakfast items, salads & their fish fries. I normally have a lot of problems with getting what I actually ordered from any food place, but not here. They get it right the first time. It is ALWAYS busy when I call them, yet the food is almost always done faster than they say it is. Who can complain about getting delicious food, exactly as ordered, and FASTER than expected? Not me!“
“Great local bar with a lot of history. We enjoyed a regular and Keto friendly fish dinner. Really appreciated the flexibility to listen to our special dietary requests and deliver a filling and delicious dinner! Plan to return often.Parking: easy to park and walk to the place.Dietary restrictions: very flexible, very tasty, very filling“
“The food is very good. But when it comes to take-out food, they don't do very well giving you the extras you ask for - like extra tartar, lemon wedges and things like that. If they need to charge for them, so be it. If we ask for them DELIVER DAMN-IT :-). I'm happy to report they have improved.“
“We were very pleased with our service. The waitstaff were awesome seeing that our very large group reservations were marked 18 instead of 8. They accommodated us nicely and the waiter who took our order I think noticed I wore hearing aids, that he came around and knelt down to ask my order when he stood to take all the others was so impressive. It really made my day. It was my granddaughters wedding supper.“
“I don't drink alcohol But have no fear they served me ginger beer while I enjoyed the atmosphere. The bar sets in the back alley way a few blocks from the police station in whats called one of the schetchest neighborhoods in the beautiful city of Wausau they say I say not at all.Vegetarian options: Bloody Mary i think made with tomato juice is all I can tell yous“
“Hey Kim, sorry it took so long to come and eat at your cafe. It was awesome and the guys I was there with said the same thing! We meet once a month for lunch and your cafe is now going to be in our circle of restaurants that we will visit! Thanks again for the awesome food and we’ll be back, you have been warned lol!!!!“
“The food and service here are both good. The waitress was attentive and food tastes wonderfully homemade but be aware of their policies for credit card fees and charging for every refill on soda. I wish places would tell you that before they serve you. We could’ve been ok with one soda, and saved $2.50 plus extra money in a credit card fee! We are far less likely to make this part of our regular restaurant rotation now.“
“My wife and I like to look for local gems whenever we travel and this place looked good. Boy was it! The food was incredible! I got the brew burger, smothered fries, and a huge pretzel with beer cheese dip. I washed it down with a Kentucky Vanilla barrel Ale and it was perfect. My wife got a pulled pork sandwich with fries and washed it down with a mango White claw. Both of us were very pleased. The atmosphere is just your average home town tavern and was just the kind of thing we look for. Everything was very clean as well. If we make it this way again we'd be delighted to stop in again.“
“I am a fan of their turkey burger also known as mama new love….. Whenever they sell these they sell out quick and they are delicious! They have other menu items throughout the week that are favorites to others but this is a favorite of mine.“

“Very nice place. Staff went out of their way to make us welcome. The Pho is very good but you have to ask for it ahead of time. I personally found the Pad Thai very excellent with a little chili paste to heat it up a little. They have a nice deck out back for sitting and overlooking the water. We look forward to visiting again.“
“Whether in line waiting to go through the drive-thru or going inside to dine in or do takeout, maybe a Butter Burger, an ice cream treat or something else makes it worth a stop by to enjoy.This time was dine-in with five adults & two kids after their concert. We weren't the only ones who made that choice and as usual their staff took care of everybody plus the food and adding ice cream treats etc had to admire how well they handled everything.Fun evening inside as usually I grab something from the drive-thru and take it home.Either way it's a great place and I love their ice cream.“
“Been here several times. Usually it’s fine which is why I rated 4 stars. Sometimes it’s rough in there. Tonight we were seated at a bar booth. We spend most the time being ignored by staff. While other patrons stood literally directly in front of our table with their backs to us, weird. Who does that. I had to pee for about 15 minutes before I finally tapped a lady on her shoulder and told her I needed to get up from my dining table. Never really figured out who our server was. hostess took out order then had a couple other people clear plates and bring a bill. Food was so so.“
“I was staying in a hotel near Stewart Ave in Wausau and was traveling alone. I really didn’t want to go to a chain restaurant and wanted to go to a place where I could socialize with the locals. Man THIS WAS THE PLACE!! On top of it all I got the Ribeye which they hand-cut in house and I could order as many ounces as I wanted. I went for 18oz. ;). And ate every last bite. One of the best steaks I’ve had in a long time and I travel all over the world for work and eat at some really nice places…this honestly ranks as one of the top steaks I’ve had. And the clientele was really friendly too! Now I wish I lived in Wausau and not 900 miles away…because this would be my new place to go!!!“
“This local pub was exactly what we were looking for tonight. We’re in town for an anniversary weekend without kids and this place was laid back, friendly and gave us some great tips on what we should do in town this weekend. Thank you for the excellent service!“
“We stopped on a whim. We were headed to a different restaurant and spotted this one. The host and waitress were friendly. Our food came promptly. I had prime rib sandwich, and my mom had liver and onions. Both meals were tasty and large quantities. We both had to go boxes when we left. Only drawback was the coffee at $2.50. I do understand the price, but I never got offered a refill. I do understand they were getting ready setting up for large Birthday party.“
