"I have been there twice. Both times excellent food. Our waitress was awesome and attentive. It does get loud in there but to be expected. Beautiful view of the water. Both times went around 4 to 5pm. We had the fries and cheese curds. I would say the best cheese curds in the area. Excellent fresh food. Nice portions I had the fish sandwich and could only eat half. We took half our food home. We really enjoy everything about it"

"Stopped in for a late lunch after a hike on the Ice Age Trail. Good food snd great, friendly service. I had a burger that was very good, and my wife had the Philly Cheese Steak. My sister had the Ruben. It was also wing Wednesday, so we tried them. They were good sized and cooked perfectly. They have about 12 sauces and dry rubs. We had the maple bourbon BBQ rub. Yummy! Only 5 beers on tap but a decent range of options including an IPA I liked. We will be back!"

"First time here- all 4 of us got the fish fry and it was delicious! The cornmeal breading was nice and light (which I prefer on a breaded piece of fish), I rarely eat my coleslaw at fish fries and usually ask them to hold it… well, I ate the whole thing! The dressing was perfect. Also, the hush puppies were a nice added touch!! My only complaint was that the tator tots were too salty. The service was great, and the ladies were very friendly! We will definitely be back!"

"Stopped in on a Tuesday for a drink during happy hour. Their happy hour special of one dollar off all drafts took their already cheap 2 dollar Miller Lite down to a 1 dollar Miller Lite. What a deal! Next time I’m in Lodi I’ll be back."

"Had lunch at the Badger Den on Saturday, May 2nd. 6 of us walked in. Picked this spot because it was 'middle ot the road' for all of us coming from 4 different directions. On staff: 1 bartender and a cook. Didn't even bat an eye! The bartender/waiter was so attentive (sorry, did not get his name). And the food (all of us ordered something different) was really, really good. Worth a second or third trip. You should do that as well!!"
