The Informalist is a chic restaurant located in downtown, known for its seasonal small plates, wood-fired pizza, and creative cocktails. Despite its initial flashy launch, it has evolved into a more relaxed hotel canteen situated on the ground floor of The Lismore. This farm-to-table spot offers brunch classics with a local twist and woodfired pizzas on cauliflower crust. The design-forward space exudes attention to detail while maintaining a laid-back vibe.
Hubby and I came here for dessert to celebrate my birthday and (as usual) this place is fabulous! I love the decor. There is always something beautiful to admire. The service is casual and top-notch all at once. We love their food, but we ordered their gluten-free butterscotch creme Brule and a couple of drinks. The pudding was divine and the perfect size to share and enjoy! Give this place a look: the gluten-free items and accommodations are awesome, and the people are lovely. Perfect date!!

Lovely upscale dining experience. Our party’s selection covered the Informalist’s touted speciality, wood-fired pizza, a cheeseburger with French fries and garlic aioli, a ribeye steak, and gnocchi. Everyone was quite happy with their selection. The lemon tiramisu for dessert was sublime!
Alex L — Google review
The only right words...we loved it. Wasn't expecting a hotel to have a terrific restaurant. We were so wrong. I would go here even if I wasnt staying at the hotel. We shared the steak, and ate every it. The sauce with it was sooo good. Make reservations for the word is getting out.

Great location, great atmosphere. I’ve visited EC several times and have always wanted to come. On a weekend morning, there weren’t many servers, and although the restaurant wasn’t crowded, it still felt quite busy. I ordered brunch and a Margherita pizza. The food was delicious, but there were a few flaws, like the eggs Benedict being overcooked, with no runny yolk at all.
Grace G — Google review
The style and atmosphere were really good! Our server also did a good job. However, the food is not worth the price point. The plating and atmosphere are fancy, but the actual food was just kind of...fine? My gnocchi tasted only of cheese and onion. The walleye my partner had was, in their words, "insignificant. Protein and tomato." The dessert we had was very heavy on the lemon. Overall just kind of a meh experience at a high price point. As a plus, open on Sundays!

Went with a group of close work colleagues and family for a special outing. A few members of the group had previously went for brunch and had a great experience so our heads were high. When greeted by the hostess we were told about the specialty pizza, and was told around 15-20 minutes for it, so naturally me, and another ordered it. We arrived at the restaurant around 5:20ish and had our drinks in likely by 5:35 max. It was not until 6:30 at least. My margarita pizza’s cheese was burnt to oblivion. The duck breast ordered was cold on the inside, as well as the ribeye which was ice cold in the middle, which was ordered medium rare. (I will note I did not make the pizza aware to the manager as I did not notice the quality until comparing it with my family members pizza, who’s was correctly cooked.) After making this all clear the manager came out only to blow off it all off because a 12 top came in and got their order right before us. And claimed the duck was cold due to the toppings, which is not only incorrect as the middle was cold, but shady operating as a manager to incorrectly give paying patrons about the food they are ingesting. Thankfully the steak was heated up, unfortunately after this experience though I would not doubt if it was microwaved. Overall a poor display of cooking, serving, and managing.

Nice atmosphere. Austen was a great server. The two of us ordered the Ribeye. Both steaks were horrible. Loaded with fat and what seemed like muscle. Disappointed. I’d go back but not have the steak.

Joe introduced me to a fine Bourbon called Angel's Envy. I made it into the Informalist thanks to Molly's recommendation- it was the just right prompt. "Everyday I walked by without giving it a try- after having a relaxing drink and a slice of pie....I can't tell you why." Love the atmosphere for a relaxing adult evening in a vibrant Downtown. I added spicy honey to the banana jamma pizza 🍕 😋 😍 I highly recommend 👌 you stop in for a drink and experience the penny bar first hand.

The Nucleus is a lively and compact restaurant located in the heart of Downtown Eau Claire. It offers a variety of breakfast and lunch options, including crepes, omelets, and hotcakes. The restaurant is housed in a century-old brick building and provides private party facilities. Visitors can also explore the surrounding area, which boasts parks, playgrounds, beaches, waterfalls, bridges, tubing spots, splash pads, nature hikes, and a charming Farmers Market.
First time at The Nucleus and it was fantastic! I ordered the signature Lemon Ricotta Hotcake and they were phenomenal! Each hotcake was light and fluffy with the whipped cream and fresh strawberries complimenting the other. The Lionized Hash browns were amazing with crispy potatoes and cheesy goodness. The dark roast coffee was wonderful as well. It had the perfect balance of flavors and is exactly what I want for my every day cup of coffee. Great food and a great staff!

We went in with 11 people (called ahead but they don't take reservations) and they were so amazing with accommodating us. I understand the struggle of fitting that many people together but all of the staff were very helpful and friendly. We ended up splitting the group for about 30 minutes, got drinks, and then when another table cleared out we were all able to sit together. The food was amazing with good pricing for the size, those crepes are huge! Definitely recommend coming here

Great place for breakfast!!! We were greeted right away with a friendly smiling bubbly person. They stated to sit anywhere. They even suggested going to the back. We loved walking through the building. The age, the decor, the use of the building. We sat in the back of the building next to a window. A staff person brought water as soon as we sat. Menu's and again more smiles :) ! I had coffee and my son kept to water. Food order was taken! Food arrived in an acceptable time. The lemon crepe was very good. Both of our dishes were very tasty! We highly recommend a breakfast stop when visiting Eau Claire.

Food was tasty and priced well. This is definitely more of a new age, artsy, hip location. The staff was super friendly and seemed actually happy to be here. The only complaint is when it's busy the sound is distracting. Overall, a delicious meal and supportive staff makes this a great stop to eat.

I was really excited to try out this restaurant. When I sat down I ordered a mimosa for me and my girl. The mimosa was okay. Did lack a little flavor but it did the job. Then I ordered pancakes , hash browns and sausage. The hash browns were HORRIBLE!!!! Tasted like cardboard… it lacked so much taste… Then I tried the pancakes and those were super dry and to be honest … the box pancakes I make tasted way better. Idk what they are cooking with or without but definitely not buttermilk pancakes. I’m from California and liverd in Louisiana so maybe my expectations were different… especially from me living in the south where food is full of flavor … but man this was BY FAR the worst breakfast I have ever had. I drank my mimosa and ate my sausage… that was it !!! The waitress that had a shaved head came and asked how everything was and I was honest but she barely tried to remedy the situation. Honesty you should of took the pancakes and hash-browns off my ticket since you seen I didn’t eat it. I tried to not make a fuss about it… she said she’d give me a discount…. Mannn look…. She took 3.00 of my bill… I was like are you serious…. They outta pocket. If a customer states the food is terrible and then you SEE they didn’t eat it … and still charge them .. outta line So no… I wouldn’t recommend them to anyone honestly. Especially after that customer service. Maybe they have better food off the menu but I’m not trying it. ♤ Since the owner replied let me set it straight. I'm a very straight forward individual! - I took a box because if I'm going to be charged for the food and not offered to take it off the ticket, then I might as well take it with me, right? I wasn't trying to eat anything else of the menu if the basic pancakes and hash browns were bad. That's basic breakfast... that's hard to mess up! Now I said I didn't make a fuss about the issue but it was just bad customer service and her whole attitude toward the situation... but next time I guess I should of asked for a refund. Just was bad food and bad customer service. A phone call would of been better. I'm fine with the situation, i just wouldn't advise anyone to go there. Some people really like it, but im not into false reviews. I do like the atmosphere! The guy I encounter was really kind and friendly. Best Wishes ... Hope it gets Better

Took a Lyft here from the Lismore. Located in Old Town, nice opportunity to see a different area of Eau Claire. Place was really busy but got a table right away. Waited a long time for our food, but figured our order got lost for we didn't get our meal until we noted our frustration. To be fair, they discounted our bill. Be aware they are going with trend charging for coffee refills...though again, they didn't charge us because of the long wait. Food was plentiful, but not extraordinary.

First time visit; friendly waitstaff; excellent food; comfortable environment in a historic building with artsy flair; reasonable prices; wait for seating in the coffee shop with excellent coffee! We will be back next time we are in town. (Worth any wait time you may encounter).

Randy's Family Restaurant is a beloved spot in Eau Claire, WI that has been serving up classic American dishes for over 60 years. The restaurant is known for its generous portions of homemade comfort food, including breakfast staples and hearty mains. Locals rave about the perfectly crispy hash browns, hot roast beef sandwich, chicken dumpling soup, and crispy chicken honey mustard salad. One standout feature is the complimentary cup of warm vanilla pudding offered to diners upon seating.
Love breakfast place like this. Very friendly staffs. Got a table quick on Saturday morning at 7am. Huge menu selection. Had to rush so didn’t get picture of food. Ordered the Hungry Man to split with my daughter and the staff said it the same as the half hungry man so she suggested to do that so we can customize our order. The pancake was huge and delicious. They also have pies too. Had to get a Strawberry Mango slice. Yum! Seems like lots of local frequent there. Love that they play worship songs in the background. Praise God!

Good food. Their famous chicken dumpling soup was good. We also ordered the turkey melt and eggs and hash browns - the typical diner food. They have a lot of baked goods but we were too full to get anything else. $37 total with tips.

Awesome atmosphere. Awesome servers. Chicken gizzards are perfect! Pancakes were mid (a bit too thick for my taste.) hash browns were oilier than what I prefer. The coffee though.... Damm! Cinnamon hazelnut was fantastic!

Wow, I hadn't been here in years and what an upgrade. The menu is huge and the food was fantastic. I had a salad with soup and a mini loaf of bread. My cousin had a caramel roll the size of a dinner roll. The waitress was friendly and attentive. On the way out I purchased a 3-pack of peanut butter cookies. Tasted just like homemade. I cannot wait to go back and try some other menu items?

Randy’s was packed when my husband and I stopped in. We were able to be seated quickly within 5 minutes. We started with the curds and they were delicious if not slightly overdone. I got the crispy chicken sandwich in original and it was good, but there could have been more seasoning. My side salad didn’t have frills but some of the lettuce was a bad. My husband got the Reuben which he liked. The fries were delicious. I will definitely try Randy’s again. Service was great, very attentive and they brought around a sample of warm vanilla pudding when we sat down.

The cozy atmosphere invites visitors to relax by the fireplace in rocking chairs while enjoying a wide variety of coffee drinks, iced beverages, smoothies, teas, ciders, and hot chocolates. This local favorite also sells their homemade syrups for those who want to recreate their delicious coffee at home.
Such a cute place! Love the laid back atmosphere! It’s a bit of a self service restaurant in that you order first, choose a table, grab your own utensils, sauces (ketchup, jam, etc), and water. They give you a number to bring with you to your table and they will bring out your food. If you order any drinks they will make it and call out the drink order for you to pick up. Their menu is fairly large and has a very unique variety. If we lived closer this would definitely become one of our go to spots!

My wife and I have been coming here for years, it is sad to see that the food has declined over the last couple years. Even today, we went in and my wife got a brisket hash with eggs and it was lacking pretty much any brisket. Even my breakfast sandwich was mostly bread and cheese, not much egg and a small sausage patty. It feels like French Press has been cutting corners in the last year across the board with food they offer, even though they charge the same but offer less. I still enjoy French Press for their coffee and atmosphere, but I wouldn't recommend getting food here.

We had a wonderful experience today! We brought our two little girls with and the servers were amazing today on 9/30/25. I also tried the maple blueberry cold foam which was amazing and the gluten free pancakes were great! The atmosphere was great and kid friendly for sure. My husband is dairy free and I’m gluten free so it can be hard to find everything all in one. Such a cute stop on our trip through Eau Claire.

They are busy but there is ample seating available. We had a relatively large group but found a place to sit right away. There is seating available outside as well for when the weather is kind. The food is good but we return to this place for the friendly and prompt service. Staff are amazing and helpful and always have a smile on their face. It is not too loud but enough background chatter to give it a very cozy feeling when you are dining in.

Maybe not THAT grand… The short trip to Eau Claire was coming to a close and I needed some food before I hit the road home. Around the corner from where Tim lives is a cafe he’s been to a few times. We took the short stroll there to get some breakfast and coffee in us. We popped in after the major breakfast crowd and before the lunch crowd made the small cafe packed. We took a seat towards the front by the window so we could get some natural light to go with our meal. Our waitress was a hoot. She was professional but really chatty and we all quickly got on the topic of horror movies, spooky things, and the love for reading. I got the house coffee with a biscotti stick to go with it. Tim got a latte thing. The waitress forgot my biscotti but quickly brought it over when I asked her about it. As for our meal, I ordered just the french toast and Tim got a full course meal. I wanted to eat somewhat light as I had the long drive but… when I say I got french toast… it was the most basic two slices of french toast I’ve ever had. It ended up tasting decent but for $8.49, it just felt like it needed to some with a side of protein or eggs or something. Tim said his The Grand Gatsby and Bread Pudding was good, even if he doesn’t care for Mango, which is what his Bread Pudding flavor was. The biscotti was really good, even better dipped in the coffee. The coffee itself was your typical drip coffee that you’d find across the country. Not great but not bad. It served it purpose. While it was a bit of a letdown that my last meal before heading home was less than stellar but the memories made at the cafe (and the whole trip) are one you can’t put a rating on. With that in mind, if we visit here again in 2025, I will definitely get a more substantial meal than two meager slices of french toast.

Vanilla Italian cream soda. Chicken and wild rice is truly excellent, served with a BLT and pickle 💕 phenomenal Pina colada bread pudding in the center and breakfast and iced latte for my partner. The eggs were cooked correctly and the potatoes were crisp. We came at a perfect time in the morning to sit outside with the dogs and it was just a lovely all around experience.

Service is ALWAYS so good and the server I had today was SUCH a sweetheart. If you’re visiting Eau Claire or live here and haven’t come here for breakfast or lunch, you’re missing out!!! I got their southwest chicken wrap, chicken wild rice soup, with chips and a pickle. Everything was made to order and comes out hot/fresh.

Wanted to try a new place on a whim. Will get the good out of the way, cute decor and atmosphere, food smelled really good in there. That's it. When I approached the counter the worker gave me the Gen Z stare. No "hi", "welcome", "what can I get for you?". Just stared blinking at me silently until I started ordering. Yes, yes, we all hate our jobs, especially customer service. But you're being PAID to do it. Anyways. Ordered a large iced latte. It wasn't a latte, just an iced coffee. The latte was listed as $7.50 on the menu. The cashier had to confirm "large" "iced" and "oat milk" more than once. Not exactly a large order, how hard is that to remember? A second worker had to confirm "iced". Asked what syrup flavors they have. The answer? "We have a lot, so I don't know." If you're not gonna require your workers to know the syrup flavors, maybe have them listed somewhere? If they were listed, she sure didn't point them out to me. I asked for a to-go menu, she didn't know if they had any. This must've been her first day, no, hour working there. Comes time to pay, my $7.50 iced coffee somehow comes to $10.42. Because a splash of oat milk and half a squirt of syrup are $1 each. There goes her tip. Not even Starbucks expects $12+ for 16 ounces of iced coffee. Also it wasn't cold. Luckily for them I prefer easy ice. But if you're looking for an iced coffee, expect it to be partially warm. At least service was quick. But there was no line, so I'd hope it'd be quick. Won't be back for like 6 months or until i forget this experience. Genuinely ruined my day.

Seating can be difficult when they are busy, but food is always amazing! I've probably been to Grand Ave Cafe 100+ times and there have been maybe 2-3 times where I was a bit disappointed. The most recent time (two weekends ago,) was one of those times... We had a group of 8 people, all of which were split up into tables of two, and our drinks took 30 minutes to arrive at our table and food took another 30 minutes to arrive at our table after that. Normally I wouldn't complain, but for how busy they were when we arrived (half of the tables were taken,) I feel the extended waiting times, especially for a cup of coffee was a bit ridiculous. On top of that our servers all seemed like they were having a bad day with little to no communication or friendliness. The only saving grace was that our food was wonderful. That day I would have given them a 2/10, every other time I've been there 9-10/10.

My hubs and I stopped here to grab a quick bite. We were automatically seated even though it was busy which was nice. I got the ham and cheese with fries and a side salad and my hubs got the Philly cheese with fries. Both of the sammies were really good. Service was also pretty good. I gave this a 4 star because the salad was so basic. It was a hand full of the mixed lettuce you get in the grocery store in a bowl. No croutons, no cheese, no toms. It looked like their breakfast would be good too with big pancakes.

We had the meat lovers omelette, ham and cheese omelette, and the 2 eggs breakfast! All were delicious. The hashbrowns are amazing and worth the hype!

The food is awesome. Portion sizes are large; you definitely won’t leave hungry! Service has been great every time, food is a great value, and it’s a very comfortable, inviting atmosphere. This is our go-to breakfast spot whenever we are in Eau Claire. The steak and eggs is my favorite. Stop in! You’ll be happy you did!

Located just a short drive from campus, this family-style restaurant is known for its mouth-watering breakfast dishes and delicious sandwiches.

Amazing food that's moderately priced. I had the meat lovers skillet and my husband had the country omelette. The portion sizes are extremely generous! Bring your appetite! The staff are very friendly. The atmosphere is casual. I highly recommend this restaurant. It's one of the best in the area.

Wonderful place to eat breakfast and probably more as well. My wife and I were celebrating our anniversary, 22 yrs, and decided to have breakfast at Altoona Family restaurant. We came in and quickly an older gentleman waved us over and asked how many in our group, we said 2 and we were seating in less than a minute. Then their kind staff took over and we had Wonderful service. I ordered a classic omelette with hash browns and wheat toast, try their homemade jam, outstanding! My wife ordered pancakes, 2 eggs, sausage links. We both couldn't finish it all, great portions and delicious food! I did have the fresh squeezed orange juice, it was great! Nothing but compliments to everyone who made our little breakfast a treasure. Aaron

They definitely have returning customers ( regulars) which was wonderful to see , being called by name and noticed. If you're looking for a good spot to eat that's friendly with good food I'd definitely give this place a try.

Visiting from Texas and this place is amazing. It had a large variety of menu items. For this visit I stayed on the breakfast side of things. From skillets to omelettes you have so many choices when you come here. We had the country omelette which was cheesy and amazing. The hash browns were like any other restaurant and had the right amount of crisp to them. One of my kids had the California skillet which he devoured. My other child had a waffle covered in berries and whip cream. My wife saw huevos rancheros which she said was not Texas but they were really good.

The wait staff and food are great. They are so friendly and attentive. I was asked by different waitresses who saw me and asked as they were walking towards the back or front if I needed anything. They aren't trying to rush you they are just making sure you have everything. Breakfast is served during all open hours. So, there was something for everyone. Would eat here again.

Great diner experience! We went for breakfast on a Sunday morning. Service was fast, food excellent.

The cafe also roasts its own coffee and bakes original recipe bread daily. Guests can enjoy live music on weekends and outdoor seating during the summer months.

Great vibes at Acoustic, I've always loved this place and when I went to school here it was a cozy spot for tea/coffee and homework or relaxing. Very affordable and very kind staff, cool decor as always. Definitely worth stopping in at if you're in the neighborhood!! Hot or cold sandwiches and soup are the primary dishes, they also have tasty baked goods and ice cream! Note: Around 7PM (before the homeless shelter opens nearby), there are sometimes a few groups of homeless inside. But they're friendly and aren't an issue unless you're being rude or staring - just enjoy yourself and be a respectful patron so all can enjoy!

I frequented the Menomonie Acoustic Cafe for years when I attended Stout. My favourite order was blueberry french soda, a corned beef hoogie, and maybe a bowl of beer cheese soup. I had known of the other location for some time, but this was the first ocasion that I have visited it. I belive it is a bit larger, but it has the same lovely benches for seating. I definately prefer the decor and vibes at the Menomonie location, but I assume it can't be helped that this place was not as cozy and cute. I was able to get my french soda fix thankfully. Same great food and drink. Great staff.

I usually don’t make reviews like this, but I thought it was necessary. I don’t like to talk bad about restaurants, but the experience was not the greatest. I ordered the tuna pita and a cup of vegetable soup. The vegetable soup had a very bad aftertaste. I couldn’t even eat it. It also, barely had any vegetables in it. I would never suggest ordering that. My boyfriend got the chili and it was amazing! I think there’s other good things on the menu, but what I ordered was not it. The sandwich was good, but the tuna was mid it was still fishy. Needed more mayo. The real reason I made this review, was because I ordered an Italian soda because I can’t have caffeine. Unfortunately, there were hairs all over the outside of my cup. Hair, from somebody working in the kitchen. Not just one, multiple of them. I do not have short, black hair, I have long orange hair. My boyfriend’s coffee was delicious though. It was about $45 for two sandwiches, 2 cups of soup, poverty nachos, and two drinks. I thought the nachos had a funny after taste as well. So I couldn’t have more than a couple bites. They’re just microwave nachos. Just disappointed, there was hairs all over my cup.

Nestled in Eau Claire, The Coffee Grounds is more than just your average coffee shop; it’s a delightful blend of a European-style café and a gourmet retail space. As you step inside, the rich aroma of freshly roasted coffee envelops you, setting the perfect tone for your visit. Their menu features an ever-changing array of baked goods, homemade soups, unique sandwiches, and enticing small plates that cater to various tastes. But that's not all!
This store is a real treat when I get to town! They had their annual Wicked Wine event and we had a blast! Fun folks hanging out tasting wine, bourbons, and other delicious spirits. They offered so many options, it rivals some big beverage stores! Also, the kitchen gadget section, snacks and cheeses sections were impressive. This is a must stop at when we return to Eau Claire! Thank you for a great time! PS: The attached brewery pub (Modicum Brewery) in the back is an awesome place to stop, if some of your group is still shopping, and you want to grab a pint and chill.

Very nice coffee shop that’s part of a little store. They make delicious smoothies. I highly recommend the house-made wild rice burger. 😋 Fries were really good, too. We also snagged some THC seltzers and a delicious looking loaf of sourdough break with garlic and olives. And it’s not far off the highway on our way to Chicago. Plenty of space to sit indoor and a little patio out back.

Took 15 minutes to get the coffee we ordered, meanwhile people who came after us were getting theirs quicker. They seem to do orders for their regulars first.. there was 2 older people hovering the counter, and of course they were taking to the barista who did their orders first. Did not have a welcoming feeling, we were in there before anyone else and yet we waited the longest for a coffee that took them under a minute to make.

Delicious drinks, done dirt cheap! Situated in a hotel is Eau Claire Downtown Coffee. Or better known as ECDC. I saw this place when I first visited Eau Claire but never got the chance to go. I told my friends that when we hang out for vacation, my only one real request is hitting up ECDC at some point. Not because I love rock music but because I love the ingenuity of the name… and maybe because it reminds me of AC/DC every time I think about it. We popped in on our quiet day and were greeted with a really nice coffeehouse and some really nice baristas. I ordered my usual americano while Tim and Matt got drinks and a small baked good. We took a seat at one of the tables and just chatted and talked about our plans for the day. My americano was really good. I noticed americanos up around Eau Claire were more subtle and subdued versus back home, which by this point I was getting used to it. Tim and Matt both got a latte that sounded good to them and a baked good. Matt got a macaroon and Tim got a tiramisu cake square. I don’t have much to say about this place that I haven’t said a million times already. It was really nice inside. It had a very black theme to it. Maybe inspired by being somewhat named like this one hard rock band? There were some Star Wars meditating posters in one corner of the dining area. We didn’t stay long before we slowly sauntered on to our next destination but I am 110% glad we stopped in and finally got to check it out. It was definitely worth the wait. Check it out sometime if you are in the area and need a break from the chain places (or try one of the other good places to get coffee in the area, which is what I suggest). Rock on and stay caffeinated.

I was really looking forward to trying this place, but my experience fell a bit short. My drink was made incorrectly twice — the first time it was served hot instead of iced, and the second time I later realized there was no espresso added. I also noticed I was given the wrong size. The staff were friendly, but the attention to detail just wasn’t there, especially for a $21 order. I hope this was just an off day, because the atmosphere and menu seem great otherwise.

I was in town this week for a conference and came daily. The food was delicious and made fresh. I got the peanut butter toast and highly recommend. The coffee was pretty good twice but it was different every time I ordered. And it was also just warm so o had to explicitly as for it to be hot. The atmosphere is great for getting work done and The one day the music was especially good. The staff are nice enough but not overly friendly. Overall I’d come back (I did every day I was here).

The food was fantastic, the portions were quite large, 1 free soda refill (if I remember correctly) and, my personal favorite thing food-wise was that the lettuce, onions, and tomato toppings for my burger were left off to the side so I was more easily able to select what I did and didn't want on it. He got a chicken wrap(pictured). The soup, fries, onion rings, mozzarella sticks and fried pickle coins were delicious as well. Service was good, and restaurant was clean and welcoming. We absolutely want to go back.

We came here at random while passing through the area for the night, very glad we did and sad we don’t live close to come back! We looked ahead at the menu, the prices were right and everything sounded good. We had a hard time choosing what to order but everything we had was great! I actually chose based on another review of the skillets. Our server was great, she was obviously multitasking but was still attentive. We were able to sit outside to enjoy the weather but the inside atmosphere seemed enjoyable as well. Parking is tight as mentioned in a lot of reviews, we were lucky enough to get the only open spot.

Nestled within the vibrant Metropolis Resort, City Eats is a delightful dining spot that perfectly blends fun and flavor. This family-friendly restaurant serves up breakfast until 11 AM, featuring an enticing menu filled with omelets, pancakes, French toast, sandwiches, tacos, and skillets. One of the highlights here is their innovative mimosa flights—offering a refreshing selection of flavors like orange, cranberry, pineapple, and raspberry bliss juice to kickstart your morning in style.
Food was very good, great service. Kids enjoyed the pizza and mini corn dogs. Breakfast was great - french toast stuffed with cream cheese, breakfast tacos and pancakes were all very good. Kids watched Bluey on a big screen TV while eating, they were thrilled.

We are at City Eats during a recent stay at the Metropolis Resort. We dined in for supper but also got a breakfast order in the morning to take back to our room. They had a nice selection of family friendly food items. Our server was extremely friendly and attentive.

We thought we might as well take advantage of a cafe like restaurant inside the Metropolis Resort, and it did not disappoint. While it's no 5 star restaurant, the food was cooked and tasted perfect, the service was fast and the price was standard to restaurants outside the resort.

Food was not cooked to our liking per our order. Appetizers should come BEFORE the rest of your food. Was told that this happens. NOT ACCEPTABLE. Pizza was cold, by the time we finished our appetizers. It was really hard to enjoy. Spent enough on our meal and it was not worth it. Service was slow and not the most attentive. Mai Tai was not made correctly, not even as described on the menu. Kinda ruined the birthday we celebrating... There was no atmosphere, unless you consider the Yogi Bear Cartoon that was playing on a screen.

Foods pretty good, just don't expect to get all of it; each visit the server either gave us what we didn't want (alcohol to my pregnant wife) or missed a part of an order altogether. They were polite though.

The atmosphere is great! The food was really good. But the service was really slow on Saturday afternoon. There weren't too many people in the actual restaurant, however there was a craft show happening across the hall which could have made the service slower. BUT mostly we weren't impressed with the server herself. Very first impression of her was that she didn't want to be there and almost like we were an inconvenience to her for being there. When she stopped at our table to check on us she barely stopped long enough to hear the answer. Just not the best service experience.

Walked in around 2, bartender made our drinks and we asked for menus. Only one other family in there and they cashed out within 5 minutes of us being there. 30 minutes go by, both of us had empty drinks for 15 and 30 minutes total had passed and she still hadn’t come back to us. Ended up walking out. Didn’t get her name. As a server I was appalled by not only the lack of service, but also by her sticking both of our glasses in the ice instead of using a scoop. I would definitely recommend taking your business elsewhere for food

Such a beautiful atmosphere so sad service is lacking..we wanted to give them a chance though other reviews say to steer clear..we were staying at the hotel such convenience to have this beautiful restaurant downstairs..walked in for breakfast, one other table, 3servers, 1bartender, not acknowledged by ANYONE. Didn't say to wait to be seated so we sat ourselves & waited patiently. Waitress walked by with food for the one other table..nothing was said no hi, no do you need menus, NOTHING. While all three servers stood behind the wall we sat there like idiots. After a good 15minutes we left and went elsewhere (The French Press was AMAZING btw). Just sad! So convenient for hotel guests menu selection looks great but service lacking. We own restaurants too and ALWAYS give the benefit of the doubt in this industry but in this case it really is best to steer clear.

We had such a great experience. Faith was very nice walking us to our table and getting our drinks. She engaged with my kids which was awesome. Lori our waitress was absolutely attentive and cared about our time here. She checked in on us regularly. Our food was great and service was super quick despite being busy!

I picked up Mr. Beast Burger right about 12am on a Frida night - the burger wasn't great, but I got Buy 3 Get 3 Free cookies from Perkins and they were fantastic! the menu looks good, but the only experience I have is late night 50% off appetizers - mozzarella sticks were a solid melted blob of mess when I got home and unpacked it - besides the center , which was still raw.... never got back to them to address this, so cannot comment on how they handled a complaint... The raspberry cheesecake empanadas (I think) were delicious when I warmed the in the air fryer the next day, Will definitely try them out sometime soon - there aren't a lot of options for late night food that isn't drive through in Eau Claire...

Evan, our server was absolutely amazing! He listened clearly to what we wanted and went one step further to provide a bit more. He has a great personality and interaction was pleasant and engaging. And Faith, the manager stopped to see how everything was, and went that extra step too to help us find something in the area to do. Real people, real good food, and a real enjoyable experience. If in the area, this isn’t just any old Perkins.

My husband and I took a chance again to try Perkins here in Eau Claire. This is the 3rd time in 11 years. It’s NEVER been good food. We had a wonderful server. The food basically tasted like food you are forced to eat in the hospital or a nursing home. It gets worse! My husband had coffee and ordered his breakfast. I had a Diet Coke. $46.00 and it was the very 1st time he couldn’t even finish his breakfast. Every bite just made you feel more nauseated. We left to do our grocery shopping and things got much worse. It was the LONGEST GROCERY TRIP we’ve ever had. We were both so sick from the breakfast they served, that we both had to fast walk to the bathroom several times. Coming out of our bodies from top to bottom. It was hard to even grocery shop because the sight of all the food made us feel so much worse. We literally paid more for this breakfast than going to Texas Roadhouse. Every 3-5 years, we decide ‘let’s go to Perkins to see if they’ve any better. Answer is, it’s WORSE!! We also questioned our selves when we pulled in and there weren’t many cars. And the restaurant was dead. Should have been the 1st sign. If we hadn’t paid cash, I would have deny the charges as it was that bad! We both made the decision that we will NEVER eat at a Perkins again! $46 to only make us miserable. I do hope this review is helpful.

Nestled just off the North Crossing, Mom's Kitchen is a delightful gem that serves up comforting homestyle American fare. This cozy eatery may be located in a modest strip mall, but don’t let appearances fool you! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, reminiscent of grandma’s kitchen. Diners rave about the Packer Backer Skillet, featuring Wisconsin favorites like bratwurst and cheese curds.
The food was great and the service exceptional even though we came in 30 minutes before they closed and there was a short wait for my group to get their food. I had the cheese curd burger and one of my friends had the chicken dumpling soup both were very good. At the end I paid 60 dollars for my group of 4 people.

I’m surprised how much the menu has changed from previous years. I appreciate the new salads. The price was similar to a sit down restaurant but without the at hospitality feel. Ordering here is a little robotic feeling and I felt a little clumsy because I don’t go to Panera often. I was sad to see many of the unsweetened teas are now behind the counter and almost $5!

This place always seems under staffed with staff telling us it would take 20 minutes to get our order if we chose to stay. Seemed like they were encouraging us to leave. It was up within 10 minutes!! Tables have not been wiped off between client at least 3 times when I was there including today. I moistened a napkin and wiped off the crumbs on my table before we sat down - not at all inviting! It seems the quality at this location has really gone done at a place that was one of my favorites in Eau Claire.😔

I generally love Panera Bread. This particular one wasn't very clean. It looked like the floor hasn't been swept in a couple days. There also was not even a third of the amount of chicken that comes on a chipotle chicken avocado sandwich at any other one of their restaurants. I think this one store needs a little leadership...

Someone please tell me why this place is rated so high? I feel like I’m lost. I ordered chips and queso and a 2 taco place steak and it was $23, and my steak tasted like alpo dog food.

We stopped in Eau Claire as a halfway point during our travels and decided to try it out. We are SO glad we did! Delicious food - I had the street tacos - combo plate (1 barbacoa, 1 pastor, 1 carnitas) and every single one had amazing flavor! Their salsas and guacamole are also delicious (I could drink the red salsa it's so good). Staff was very friendly. I will definitely recommend this gem to anyone I know coming to the area (we're from Illinois). Any time we're back in the area we're definitely stopping in!

I have driven 2 hours to eat at this location instead of others. The food at other mcd's pale in comparison to this one. Not to mention how clean this location is both inside and out.

Shout out to this McDonald’s for sheltering, my wife and me and many other travelers during severe thunderstorms in the area today. Reports of tornadoes close by. The manager calmly directed everyone to the safest places in the store and kept us posted on weather reports. Afterwards, he offered us free soft drinks. Many of us had not purchased food, but we were warmly welcomed during the storm. Thanks, McDonald’s!

Got here for a quick breakfast while me and my brother in law were on our way to Chicago from MN. The place looked very tidy and there were probably couple of more customers other than us. We made our orders of one plate of hot cakes, a MC egg burger(without meat) and a coffee to the waitress and waited around. Our order was called out and we gathered our plate to a nearby table. My bro in law opened up his wrapper and found that it still had beacon or some meat in it and took it back to the waitress. She apologized and got back with a new burger without meat. As we ate along, we realized that our coffee wasn’t served. He went back to the waitress again and again she apologized and got him his coffee. We would have understood it, had it been a crowded time but it was not and that was what frustrating. Again, one waitress cannot determine a restaurant’s standard holistically but we only had our experience for once and that wasn’t great! *Be mindful of what you put on your plate. Don’t waste your food!*

McDonald's is a beloved fast-food institution that has been serving up delicious burgers and crispy fries for years. Recently, they offered a fantastic deal through their app, allowing customers to snag double cheeseburgers for just 50 cents at select locations. While visiting with friends before catching a movie, I noticed the restaurant was bustling with activity. Despite the crowd, the staff managed to keep things running smoothly—though some employees appeared a bit overwhelmed by the rush.
I confused the poor kid at the counter, talking too fast which caused him to omit something I ordered. They promptly fixed my order, gave me fresh food and didn't charge for the missing part of my order. Things dont always go as planned, but its important how you respond. Very much appreciate the exvellent service!

Service is decent here, in person. The doordash menu is very limited for this location though. Recommend you manually change the location in the app to the Mccdonalds off clairemont for a better selection if you are using doordash. Also there is the matter of window confusion. More than once I was told I pulled to the wrong window after paying at the first window. However the lady who took my money never specified which window I should pull too.

Horrible customer service. When I got to the ordering mic, I sat there for over 5 minutes waiting for someone to take our order. Then when someone finally came on they asked if we needed more time? So I was confused, and said how we’ve been waiting on them and laughed about it. But the worker had a crazy attitude and snapped back saying “the robot asked you a question and you didn’t respond.”when I also kept saying “hello?” Every like minute before they finally said anything. Then they wouldn’t let us order a shake because it was “past 1:30” it was 1:32 at this point. So we would have had more than enough time. I understand we got there kinda late, but the store is 24 hours. The attitude I got was wild. Very disappointed cause normally I love this McDonalds.

Normally love this McDonalds, during the day. Just went there early 2 AM 05/25/25. Was the only person in the drive thru. Ordered two quarter pounder meals, Sat in the drive thru for 10 min, when one guy came to the window he said nothing to me at all. Then waited over 10 more minutes and finally got my food and still nothing was said to me at all. Very awkward encounter, took way too long for a meal like that, especially with being the only customer in the drive thru. Wanted to leave this here so it can be a better experience because during the day with the daytime workers it is very good, I am not sure what went wrong here tonight at all.

I just got food, not even five minutes ago from here and I asked for it to be made fresh and no response was given to me. I got my food. My tacos were iced cold as they just came out of the freezer, and my olays were not even hot. Tato john's used to be my favorite place of all time to eat at. But lately they have gone downhill. Ehen a customer asks for fresh food, they should get what they ask for Because as I see it because I work in the fast food industry also, I've learned the customer is always right.

I loved this place in high school, but the prices are ridiculous for the service you receive. Nearly every table was dirty, and for 3/4 of our dine in visit there were zero customers, but plenty of learning going on in the back. Burrito was falling apart, and a nice hair in the bottom of my Ole's, who's to say if any other ones were ingested. Windowsills are covered in dead bugs, nails exposed coming out of trim, the wall on the corner booth is quite literally falling off.

Starbucks, a coffeehouse chain based in Seattle, is well-known for its unique blends of coffee, light snacks, and the availability of WiFi. The employees are described as extremely kind and patient. During one visit through the drive-thru, there was a slight disappointment when they didn't have oatmilk available; however, it wasn't a major issue as another favorite drink could be chosen - a frappe.
I came in looking for a specific tumbler, they didn't have it but the guy called another place to help and helped with other locations. I ended up buying a different one but he was very helpful and it should be recognized.

No lavender in the lavender matcha...I called,I was lied to by the manager saying she watched the " barista" put in that floral essence. None in there, besides my being a super taster...my family could also detect no lavender. I asked for a refund...manager kid made excuses.

I ordered a blackberry sage refresher (with water) thru the drive through on Monday 5/5 at 5:45 pm at the Starbucks on Hastings in Eau Claire and got my drink order right away. I was rushed after work for sports pick ups, so didn’t notice that the drink was old and possibly been partially drank? I noticed that it did not taste right after one sip. It was warm with melted ice and honestly upset my stomach. Typically a refresher’s ice lasts for hours, so not sure how long the drink I was given was sitting around. Look at the color in the photo. I will be reporting this employees poor judgment to the store manager. This is a violation for establishments serving food and beverages and frankly dangerous. I typically have wonderful service during the morning hours in this location but would caution visiting later in the day unless something changes. Thank you for addressing this public safety concern. 🙁 loyal customer

I go to the Hastings way location every single day. The past week the scanner at the drive through has been broken. I had one employee who went out of their way to scan my phone on another register. But then they have to touch my phone which is already an ick. So it’s either let someone take my phone across the store and touch it or just not get my points. I go there every day so my points add up fast. It’s not worth going to this location to not get the points from my purchases. On top of I constantly ask for cinnamon powder on my drink and they can never seem to get it right.

McDonald's is a beloved fast-food chain that has stood the test of time, famous for its delicious burgers and crispy fries. One standout location features a clean and well-maintained play area, perfect for kids to enjoy while parents can relax. The atmosphere here is vibrant, with engaged families enjoying their meals together. Staff members are notably polite and attentive; one employee named AJ exemplified this by promptly cleaning up after an accident without any fuss.
It’s AJ’s first day today and he is so polite and respectful very good at his job very clean establishment. My daughter just dropped the ice cream all over the floor and he cleaned it up respectfully with no problems. Must go here to get McDonald’s definitely will be back for more very polite staff. Everyone is very respectful here.

Clean and highly functional play place. The service was much higher than other locations. The store was really clean. The play place was high end and clean. Also, the play place was highly active with the wee-ones. Didn’t see bad behaviour from the kids like at some locations. The parents were engaged and not just looking at their phones… :)

I was asked to pull up to the third window to wait for the food. It’s been over 20 minutes and then I called Them and they say they’re waiting on the hashbrowns when over 30 cars have past obviously there’s been hashbrowns in those orders. I don’t know why they would lie now my food is going to be cold.

Updating my review. McDonald's reached out and asked that I go to the link provided to let them know what had happened. I followed the link, made my report and was contacted via telephone by the manager of this store. She told me that the manager I had previously spoken to didn't even write my information in the book. They asked for my name and address, listened to me provide this information and couldn't even be bothered to write it down. I did finally receive a letter in the mail and four coupons for any combo, morning, day or night. While that was nice enough of them, the letter I received had an extremely upsetting apology letter. The letter states how sorry they are that my expectations were not met. Nobody's sorry that my burger (the patty itself) was in PIECES, they're sorry that I expected it to be in one piece. Nobody's sorry about the ketchup that was all over the inside and outside of the wrapper and nobody's sorry that my shirt is stained. They're sorry that I expected it to be neatly assembled and not falling apart. I expected what I paid for. I gave these people my hard earned money and they're sorry that I expected it to somewhat resemble the photos they advertised. So yeah, I'm still quite upset. I won't even go into how the 4 replacement meals turned out, as clearly MY EXPECTATIONS are too high. So my original review stands. Find another McDonald's. Really. I'm seriously DISGUSTED in this store. DONT even waste your time. Keep driving, there's another McDonald's on Hastings Way that meets expectations. Ew.

One of the most Northwoods-themed McDonald’s I’ve ever seen, and overall a really nice location. I’ve only had one issue — staff once told us to sit and wait, but after 20 minutes we found out they had marked it as a to-go order and seemed upset that we didn’t pick it up. Outside of that, I really enjoy visiting here. The touchscreen games are a fun feature, but unfortunately they’re not very accessible — if someone is sitting at the table no one else can play, and they’re not handicap accessible for children in wheelchairs or those unable to crawl into the booth, which really sucks.

The new design evokes a rundown industrial Park, the new play place has no legit slides, however, the cheeseburgers are artisanally constructed to be half cheese, half not. I didn't order that, but you can't deny the artistic freedom their artists are given. Also, when I asked for "no onions" I meant "no onions," but I understand the confusion.

Typical McDonald's that is very busy. We did have a hard time finding a clean table. In the kid area there was a kid standing on a table were people eat. Not really the locations fault just poor parenting as they thought it was funny. Overall it is a place for a quick stop.

This location is generally always friendly and efficient getting your order together I’ve only had a few time going into the shop where everyone does their best to pretend you’re not standing there trying to order but the driveway has always been quick.

Nestled in Eau Claire, Five & Two Cafe is a charming spot that perfectly blends great coffee and delicious food with a welcoming atmosphere. This delightful cafe offers an array of vegetarian options, making it a hit among diverse palates. Visitors rave about the friendly service and the cozy environment, which is especially inviting during winter months when you can sip on a latte while exploring the attached greenhouses. The menu features tasty items like flatbread pizzas and unique sandwiches, ensuring there's something for everyone to enjoy.
Spent some time exploring the greenhouse and grounds and ate at this cafe Really good flatbread pizza and a nice atmosphere to just relax and enjoy a bite Down to Earth isn’t much my type of place (still a 5 star business if you’re into gardening), but nice to have some pizza in the area to distract me

Located in downtown Eau Claire just off Lake Street, SHIFT Cyclery & Coffee Bar is a unique blend of a craft coffee bar and a bicycle shop. The warm and welcoming atmosphere with high ceilings, greenery, and large windows creates an artsy vibe. You can enjoy organic and craft-roasted coffee along with kombucha on tap while cozying up to the fireplace during colder days. The in-house made waffles paired with pour-over coffee are highly recommended.
SHIFT is a really neat coffee / bike repair shop combo! I stopped by while on a visit to Eau Claire and had a great experience. While I can't really speak to the repair shop side, I thought their coffee bar was excellent and really enjoyed the seasonal latte I tried. The drink was called “Liquid Gold”—it really lived up to that name, with a super interesting blend of maple syrup and golden turmeric powder. I thought it was delicious! The service was decent enough and I thought their space was really beautiful. It had a chic, industrial vibe with exposed brickwork and nice art on the walls. I definitely recommend stopping by to check it out if you're in the area!

This charming spot boasts a cozy, vintage atmosphere filled with unique antiques and art that create an inviting ambiance perfect for studying or socializing. Known as the quintessential college coffee shop, Racy's offers an impressive selection of coffee drinks, teas, smoothies, and more to fuel your day.
Been here several times. Its definaltey a go to place if you want to have an authentic feel for a local coffee shop. It's not built for speed, instead it's meant to give each person and personal coffee shop experience. The furnishings and decor are unique and interesting. There are games and tables set up to encourage fun or relaxing. If you have to wait for a table at Nucleus Cafe, you'll be directed here, since they are connected by a hallway (although it's a very circuitous route :)

A cozy end to a fantastic vacation. Tim described Racy D’lenes as what coffeehouses were like before they exploded everywhere. What he would consider to be a true coffeehouse. This got me excited as I do like a genuine cozy coffeehouse that does it’s own thing and Racy was just that. We rolled in around 9am to get coffee and enjoy the quietness before Matt and I drove home. The sky was overcast with the constant threat of rain. The inside of Racy was nice and cozy. I got my americano, a giant chocolate chip cookie and a funny sticker for my final Eau Claire experience. Tim and Matt both got the Cadbury Egg latte. The place was a bit busy so we ended up sitting on this couch. We weren’t crammed in there but 3 grown males put it to the test. I kid you not, this americano and cookie may have been the best thing I had during this whole trip. I know I’m easily excitable and tend to give high praise for most things but those two things were legit delicious. The cookie was so good that it made me wish I got a hot coffee just to dunk it in as that sounded divine. Both Matt and Tim said their latte were amazing and tasted just like a Cadbury egg. As we sat there and made small talk and went over the fun of the last few days, I couldn’t help but look around and notice all the little things strewn about the place. There was a tank with a live turtle in it. There was a skeleton handing from the skeleton talking to someone (I couldn’t see where the line went) via a can and string. The walls were painted or had stuff hanging up. This place must’ve been here for a long time now. Speaking of the cozy feeling, if this place had a fireplace, I would’ve fallen asleep so easily. I was already nodding off due to the weather and being perfectly content and settled in, it wouldn’t have taken much more to slip off into a light snooze. Now that would’ve been a first for me, falling asleep in a coffeehouse… but if you’ve been here on a rainy day, you would understand. Eventually we made our way outside and were doing the midwestern goodbye when it started to sprinkle. That put a little pep in our step to get back to our cars and say goodbye to Eau Claire. Two things to keep in mind for visiting here is that its on the backside of The Nucleus and that since it’s on the backside of a building, parking is very limited and you may need to park on the street if it’s busy. Racy D’lenes… I will definitely be back.

Racy D'Lenes Coffee Lounge is a coffee shop located in the heart of Eau Claire, Wisconsin. From the moment you walk in, you are greeted with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The baristas behind the counter are personable and always go out of their way to make sure their guests feel at home. The coffee at Racy D'Lenes is top-notch and always freshly brewed. They offer a variety of options, from classic espresso drinks to creative specialty drinks. My personal favorite is their white mocha, which is rich and creamy with the perfect balance of sweetness. In addition to their coffee, Racy D'Lenes also has a delicious food menu that is connected through a restaurant in the same building. The menu offers a range of options, from sandwiches and wraps to pastries and baked goods. I highly recommend trying their sandwiches, which are made with fresh ingredients and served on artisan bread. The seating at Racy D'Lenes is comfortable and there are a variety of options to choose from, whether you prefer to sit in the lounge area or in a more classic diner setting. On the weekends, the coffee shop can get a bit busy, but there are still plenty of quiet spots to study or work. One of the things that sets Racy D'Lenes apart from other coffee shops is their strong connection to the community. They have a regular following of loyal customers and are always looking for ways to give back to the Eau Claire community. They also have a friendly turtle named Earl who is always happy to say hello to guests. Overall, Racy D'Lenes Coffee Lounge is a wonderful place to grab a cup of coffee and relax. The atmosphere is chill and welcoming, the staff is friendly and attentive, and the coffee and food are top-notch. I highly recommend paying a visit to Racy D'Lenes the next time you're in Eau Claire.

Burger King is a popular fast-food destination known for its delicious grilled burgers, crispy fries, and delightful shakes. During a recent visit on a sunny Sunday afternoon, I was greeted by an incredibly friendly manager sporting a quirky burger hat! The restaurant boasted immaculate cleanliness and even had extra toilet paper rolls in the bathrooms—talk about attention to detail! My Whopper arrived quickly and fresh, perfectly arranged on the plate.
We stopped on a Sunday afternoon. The manager was super friendly and wore a burger hat! The place was super clean and there were rolls of extra toilet paper in the bathrooms to ensure you couldn't run out. Our Whoppers came fast, fresh, and nearly arranged. The fries were hot but could have been crisper. A big benefit was the attached, large, shared parking lot with other establishments, a big benefit for those pulling campers! Overall, a great experience!

A COUPON. Just one coupon? excuse me. I told her that I doordashed for a reason and those coupon never gets mailed out. her last response to me was "well that's all i can do for you" do better. what happened to customer service and offering more than just "a coupon"?. a coupon does not cover half my order. this is the photo I received from the doordasher. tell me, how does 4 large sized meals including 4 drinks fit in one bag? obviously not! cause half of the order was never given to my doordasher.

Awful customer service. Took 25 minutes and I had to bring my receipt up to them because they lost the order. No acknowledgement on how long you this took. Still took 15 more minutes to get food. Missing an item also. Then brought the cup so I could fill it. For some reason they always forget the soda also. Again no acknowledgement on how long this took and that I had to go to them to fix the issue. Food was cold also. Not sure how it can be late and cold. Should be hot We'll probably just go to regular restaurants. They care and have to have good service or they go out of business

I used the drive-thru at 6:50 a.m. on November 6th. I ordered a bagel and a hash brown and Julia gave me my order total without allowing me to order any other food. She didn't ask me if that completed my order. She just rushed me forward like I was an inconvenience to her. I was supposed to be ordering for six people. The other McDonald's will have to get my order because I'm not going through the drive-thru again. Someone needs to coach Julia in drive-thru and remind her that without customers you don't have a paycheck. Customers are the reason you're there.

Dont let that old bag manager they hired serve you. She purposely puts in the wrong drink order to overcharge you even though you tell her 10x to change it correctly. Shell argue with you unintelligibly and youll be forced to pay more for TEA or whatever else your ordering.

Usually from time to time I come to order my frozen matcha; usually they get it wrong from time to time. But this time it was a mocha and matcha mixed. They don't pair well together. Though the service was good.

Lady at drive-thru helpful. The peppermint ho ho drink they have is disgusting and not able to drink. They are very heavy handed with the peppermint flavoring where you couldn’t drink it without feeling sick.

Poor taste to drinks . Coffee tastes fake. Ordered 3 different types of coffee and none of use finished and threw coffee away. Donuts were not tasty and dry/hard. Server was down right rude and played on personal phone before taking order.

Terrible customer service. Walked inside to pick up a mobile order, waited for 20 minutes. Had 5 employees walk right past me, look me in my eyes and continue by. Not a word, looking at me but not speaking a word, acting like I wasn't even there. It takes two seconds to ask a customer what they need, and tell them it'll be right up. So I walked out, went through the drive thru and was able to get my order in less than two minutes. I'll never step foot inside this establishment again; always select drive thru mobile order otherwise the employees won't acknowledge your existence. Coffee was pretty good, but hash browns were soggy and the bagel was pretty stale. Good price for the meal deal though. Donuts also good but they put it upside down in the bag so the frosting got smeared.

My coworkers and I are in town for a work event, and Ailee absolutely made our morning! We went through the drive-thru and she was so welcoming, patient, and kind even though we took a few minutes to order and ask questions. Her friendly attitude and bright smile instantly stood out, and she even gave us pumpkin muffin samples while we waited for our drinks. Thank you, Ailee, for starting our day off on such a positive note! We’ll definitely be back.

We were waiting for 10 minutes, about 5-6 workers looked at us and didn’t ask if we were missing anything. I had to ask someone how long it was going to take yet for my iced coffee. Then the girl I asked seemed irritated and had the girl that was already swamped make it for us. I know she was rushing but I had to wipe off my own cup from the milk running down the side. The whole experience at this location was just clunky, not how my visits (at other locations) usually go. The crew should be more aware and attentive when they see people waiting at the “pick up” part of the store.

Terrible service. The focus of the team was on customers in the drive thru. I waited for several minutes before I was asked if I was being helped. I placed my order, but then another 10 minutes before the drink I ordered was made. The young lady who came around the corner and asked me if I was being helped...I told her I already ordered. She checked the order screen and then made the drink immediately. Poor service!!

This location started out strong, but now is falling fast. The last two or three times we've had it the food was lacking. Chicken not flavored right, chicken dry, chicken minis dry, even the sweet tea is wrong. It stinks, I grew up in the south so this restaurant should be a nostalgic reminder of home, but this is not the case.

Workers were amazing. My son had just had his teeth pulled and wanted a shake but couldnt suck out of a straw so they made it special for him so he could drink it without the straw.

‼️ WARNING!! If you have to pay with 100. DONT COME HERE!! A worker was very nice to me and said they could break it at the window. So I go to the window and the manager was waiting with a NASTY attitude! Yelling at me saying they aren’t able to break it they don’t “have that kind of money” I was nice there was no reason for the attitude. I called to do a complaint and I doubt the manger would let someone out a complaint on her.

First time in a Chick-fil-a. It held up to the expectation. People I know tell us it's great. It was very good. Service was fast, very friendly and polite. Cashier was super personable and asked us how are day is and genuinely cared and not just asking because its her job. Food came to our table in less than 5 minutes. Food was fresh and hot.

The bartender hates the customers if they ask for anything other than rail drinks or beers. But honestly, that is part of the charm.

This has been a family go to spot for my family for many years. We know all the bartenders and the owner. Over the past couple years the service has gotten pretty bad. You order anything other than a beer and you will get eyes rolled at you. Recently I was in there enjoying my night, and a customer I've known for years (A grown man) completely degraded me in front of everyone, and the bar tender (whom I've known forever) sat there and let it happen. It really put into perspective what kind of place this is! I'm not saying I'm perfect, but no way did I deserve that! Don't get me wrong, there are a couple great bartenders left. But I will NEVER step foot in there again after 20 years. UPDATE...after 5 months I decided to give it a shot, a friend wanted to !eet up there. The owner says to me he read my google review and was rude about it. I told him I said nothing negative about him. He then tells me "as long as you feel good about yourself, thats all that matters". Then walks away. Now rather than trying to rectify the situation, or even apologize for how his staff treats people, he gets mad at the person who addressed it publicly. Well this review could have gone a completely different way, but apparently its OK to treat people like garbage! Mistake #2. Sorry, not sorry!

Convenient coffee shop on campus. I’m not a student here but I was 20 years ago haha I attend events here often and it’s nice to have an actual coffee shop here, with bagels and other breakfast options If you can you might want to get here before 10-til since that is when everyone gets in line and the wait is much longer
Hank Z — Google review
I wish they would put up a sign when they run out of things so that we dont end up waiting in line for so long. I once waited in line for 20 minutes only to be told they were out of eggs (????). Today they barely had any bagels- the ones they did have were the ones with seeds and such on them. Why not put out a sign saying which ones are available? So I dont waste 20 minutes waiting to order my food? Also a few weeks ago I ordered online to pickup 2 hours after placing the order, the logical thing to do is for the employees to not make the food untill 10-20 minutes BEFORE i come in to pick it up, however I immediately got the notification that it was ready. When I came in to pick the food up it was freezing and probably would havegiven me food poisoning from sitting out. When I asked for the manager to remake it, a male employee in a blue shirt, he said he was too busy to do so. I left crying and didnt get food- or a refund. This is the only time I have run into a rude worker here. I dont know why he did that. I tried getting a refund thru the app that the school has people order on but its beena month and I have not gotten a reply even tho the app claims a customer service representative will reach out within a day.

Not only does Einstein Bros. Bagels have great bagels, they have the most friendly staff on campus. The manager there is always trying to learn my name and the rest of staff never seems to be in a bad mood. They also give you a lot of food at Einsteins compared to many other places on campus. I would definitely recommend to check this place out if on or near campus.

I got two plain bagels with plain cream cheese. A simple order. Yet not only did they toast both bagels when I asked for them NOT to toast them, one bagel had a big chunk missing and it had hair in it!!! I know it wasn’t mine because I have very short hair and this one was super long.

Visited this new location for the first time today around dinner time. I was very impressed with the friendliness of staff. This Panera location is so much better than the one on Keystone Crossing in Eau Claire. The Keystone Crossing is constantly missing ingredients in my order even when I ask for extra it’s always missed. This location didn’t miss any ingredients and they gave me the extra I paid for! I’m not sure if it was the manager maybe?, but the man that was working behind the pick up window for dine in was very pleasant. Also made sure I had the extra that I paid for even though it was really busy. Place was kept very clean! This will be my go to location for Panera from now on. I wish I could leave a review through the email that gets sent asking about the experience but their reward system was down. I’m assuming that’s why it didn’t generate a link to give review.

Food was good, service not. Place wasn’t even busy and they were struggling to move by.

Maybe this place is still experiencing new growing pains, but it is completely unacceptable to wait 15 minutes in line for coffee when there are only two cars ahead of you. Those 2 cars were waiting for food yet no one thought they should move them ahead into the two designated areas further ahead where they could wait for their food while serving other customers. Also, if you are a sip club member, when you try to customize the free drinks you get as part of the club you can’t add basic cream or sweetener. There’s no option in the app for that. That doesn’t really have anything to do with this location, but it still is a Panera issue.
