The brisket was so tender it fell apart. The service was great. Highly recommend it.

Great food and the wait staff were always eager to help. Had lunch during our visit to the museum and a drink afterwards. The portions were a good size and very tasty . I had pulled pork and my husband had ribs. Both had a nice spicy zing to them which definitely added a nice after taste. Lunch was a success. When we finished our visit so we stopped back in on our way to the retail store. I had a couple nice cold cans (bottled is usually better) of Corona and the husband (designated driver) had ice tea. Again his glass was kept filled. No complaints here. Definitely stop in and have something to nibble on before you hit the road and ride off into the sunset . More...

Could not have asked for a nicer lunch! Ate late lunch, and no need for dinner. Our server, who we noticed when leaving was also bartender was polite, friendly and efficient. Took advantage of Friday fish fry. My husband got AYCE cod with fries and slaw. Perfect. Asked for more fish and it was quickly brought. I had walleye, there was a note if you don't feel up to AYCE ...the walleye serving was HUGE! Could not even eat half! Was perfectly fried and served with delicious veggies and smashed potatoes. Only disappointed in corn muffin, pretty dry, so we saved a few calories by not eating itRoom was pleasant and view of river. Pricey for lunch, but now we don't need dinner! More...

Amazing menu! Everything is so great especially the brisket and pulled pork. Can't go wrong with the hand battered cheese curds but the BURNT ENDS are like meat candy

I didn't get the chance to dine in the formal restaurant, as it was closed for a private event when we visited. We end up in the 'can' room aka small bar. So this review is for just the food, which was filling, hearty, and delicious. It makes sense that a Harley Davidson vendor, would serve stick to your ribs food. I had the brisket stuffed baked potato. The brisket was "cut with a fork" tender and juicy. The potato had to be from Idaho. Then cover it all with cheese, sour cream, and butter. Definitely will be returning once the leaves start falling and footballs on TV. More...

Loved the bbq brisket loaded potato. So flavorful with the brisket, bbq sauce, cheese, sour cream and butter. It is also priced reasonably. I will certainly be back for another bowl of that! We also enjoyed the live music at the bar on Sat night. Service was slow to come at first (chatting behind the bar), but once we got menus and orders, food came fast. Friendly staff. More...

I had the dry rub Memphis style baby back ribs which they serve only on Saturdays. They looked blackened. Overall they tasted decent, not great, because the ribs were a little too dry. They were in the smoker too long. That diminished the taste of the rub. The French fries were OK, crisp not crunchy. I paid an additional $2.00 to make my order a combo. I chose the brisket. The slices were tender and delicious. That off-set my disappointment with the ribs. The jicama slaw came in a small plastic container, perhaps 1/4 cup. It did not impress. My wife had the chicken avocado club sandwich. We thought it was a double decker because it was stacked really high. She said it was delicious and would order it again. It was 5PM on a Saturday. The place, including outdoor seating, was about 1/3 full. Service was slow. After we got our food the waitress checked on us once. She never asked if we wanted additional drinks or if we needed refills of water. Also, most restaurants that serve ribs provide packets of moist wipes. This place did not. More...

Not a typical museum restaurant--this place is like a Harley, not cheap, but fast and good! Nice specialty drinks--Beefy Mary comes with a beef stick and a beer chaser. BLT was really good and fries are plentiful, crispy and hot. Nice intermission for museum visit. I'll be back. More...

The Fish Fry is all-you-can-eat and has a delicious corn meal batter! I rarely use tarter sauce as I feel it covers up the fish, not this time! The tarter sauce was a suprising compliment to the corn meal. My wife's Prime burger was prepared as ordered and the sauce was fantastic! More...

She made sure to keep my beer full and that the food was to my liking. The restaurant has a wonderful atmosphere and really neat seeing all the Harley Davidson items in there.

On my second visit, we ordered the Willie G's minis and a vanilla sundae for dessert; we were very happy with the meal and the service. WG's sliders are a really good appetizer, a great option for when you just want a bite. Even though the Sundae is only one vanilla scoop, it's huge! See for yourself! More...
