Magpie's Den & Pen

Thursday was $2 off burgers so we decided to give them a shot. We elected to sit inside due to the heat, but the outdoor patio seems to be where all the cool kids want to be. The beer was cold, the space was clean, staff was pleasant and attentive. We started with the fried cheese curds... Delightful. Served piping hot with a gooey pull and a side of ranch. Just the kind of indulgence you want when you are away from home. The burgers were juicy, flavorful, and just the right amount of mess. I was a damn good burger. We enjoyed them so much that when we saw that Magpies had a food truck in the park during a festival, we made sure to grab one.

Very underwhelming.We ordered food to go a few days ago and it was fine, but we wanted to give this restaurant a real shot and it was a disappointing experience.Our drinks came after we finished the appetizer and we ordered a burger and it didn't have any cheese when it normally does.We dined in on a Saturday so maybe that was a mistake? But it's unfortunate to think we can't eat at this restaurant on a weekend if we want a decent dining experience. Nothing stood out about the ambiance here. The restaurant was very noisy which was expected on a busy weekend.The menu was limited when you consider food preferences. For the price we weren't impressed and I can't see us coming here again.

What a great spot. Been to Lake Geneva hundreds of times but have never stopped in at Magpie's. Food was delicious. Since it is winter had to sit inside. It is a little small especially if you have a larger group. Otherwise it was fantastic. Staff was super friendly! Looking forward to returning in the summer months to sit outside and see what that that experience has to offer ! Just wish they had Blue Moon! LOL

It was an amazing! Eating in the private dining barrel made for a wonderful date night! The food was so good and our server, Tayla, was so tentative! We will definitely be back!

We waited over an hour for drinks, just drinks. Our server said she had an 8 top, and that she would be back shortly to get out drink order. Literally an hour later, a male waiter helped us and said that our waitress got caught up with the big table. That really set a bad tone. Anyway, after that, the food was just ok. It's bar style food. This would be a fun place for a group to go and hang and have drinks. It's a really cool place in a very cool location. The back has tons of games and they do live music. Because of the wait, with zero comps or even a snack with a 2 children starving and thirsty, I wouldn't personally return.

Full disclosure, we intended on dining at a different restaurant, but they didn't have enough room, so we walked over to Magpie's. We had a decent size group - six adults and two infants.Our waiter was friendly, but also seemed to forget our drinks and food rather frequently. He seemed to struggle with taking our order on the touch pad.. he even asked us a question about the menu at one point. We ordered chips and queso, cheese curds, and the fried pickles. The queso was really good. The cheese curds were average, and the pickles were interesting. They were whole pickles wrapped in wontons, my husband and I split a smash burger which was pretty good, nothing special. The kids meals come with a good amount of food which is nice. Our son enjoyed his grilled cheese and applesauce.This isn't a bad establishment by any means, but there's nothing about it that makes me want to go back. It has decent food and a casual atmosphere.

I was visiting family in the area, and we stopped here twice -- really enjoyed the place. Nice, friendly service, and plenty of seating (our glasses were barely empty when they'd come back to refill them). The food was fresh, hot, and tasty. The fried pickles were good (wrapped in cheese and a wonton wrapper), but the real star of the appetizers was the garlic cheese curds. Incredible! If there are four of you, be sure to get two orders, or you'll be fighting over them. The ranch dipping sauce is best for the cheese curds (the marinara is good, but the ranch is better).For the main, I got the pinsa both times. As good as pizza and fast. The pepperoni Pinsa with Mike's Hot Honey is perfect. Gooey, rich, and just the right amount of heat. If you're looking for something simpler, they have a basic pinsa that is the equivalent of a cheese pizza. Others in my party got burgers and Caprese sandwich and loved them

Monday evening, not a lot of places are open in April in LG, so here we are - I had a smash burger, and ate the entire thing -lol- very tasty- had the fries as a side-Ahi ceviche is what my Husband ordered - he said it is okay, came with potato chips- would have been better with tortilla chips and a sesame sauce to kick it up a tad- But he did say he'd definitely order it again! The atmosphere was very chill, customer service awesome - our bartender , Maggie (all of their names are Maggie) Was very attentive and accommodating- We will definitely be back! Prices are also very good-

I love this place and I go back every time I'm in Lake Geneva. The patio has such a fun vibe to it and the inside is really nice too. I've always enjoyed the food and drinks I've gotten as well. As far as cheese curds in Wisconsin go, it's tough to be #1 but these are very good. The staff is also really pleasant - the last time I was there was just a few months after my mom passed and I was sitting alone, reading and having a drink. My waitress talked to me about my book and really made my slightly nostalgic visit that much more enjoyable. I look forward to visiting again next summer.

Best tavern style food in lake Geneva! Amazing service from Kyle and the hot honey pizza and fried pickles are to die for. Will definitely be back! Highly recommend!
