Mercer T's Bar & Grill

First visit here and did not know what to expect. Heard rave food reviews. This is definitely a dive bar with excellent food. Bartender attended to us for drink and food order at the bar. She was very friendly and efficient and set us up at a booth. My husband was worried that we would have to wait in line but we were the only ones in the small dining room and there were about 6 people at a bar that maybe seated 12 at 5:45 pm. On a Wednesday.OMG- Ate 2 ribs out of 1/2 rack and 5 of the 6 shrimp and about 1/2 cup of the large bowl of au gratin potatoes. $52 for the two meals including our lemonade and to go boxes that will turn into at least 5 for us. They advertise on their Facebook page that they charge $1 for a takeout box.My meal consisted of 6 large butterfly shrimp with a delicious light breading and shrimp sauce on the side. This was a meal in itself. The 1/2 rack of ribs were falling off the bone tender. Very tasty and an xtra side of bbq sauce came with it but was not needed for the first round. I packed up the extra sauce for leftovers. The large bowl of au gratin potatoes were cheesy and laced with bits of bacon and could be its own meal. Even the Texas toast, coleslaw and lemonade were tasty.My husband had the prime rib - a special on Wed and Sat.- covered with mushrooms and onions, With 1/2 rack of ribs, Texas toast, coleslaw and a large baked potato was too much for him to handle and over half of it was packed up for leftovers. One of the staff who brought us our takeout boxes mentioned she can make a meal of the Texas toast and au ju so I packed up my husband's au ju to finish off my Texas toast when having leftovers. He ordered his prime rib medium rare and it came out perfect. His large baked potato was perfectly soft so it was easily cut and squished open to hold butter and the large side of sour cream. We will definitely go back for this meal but also noticed the giant cheeseburger a patron at the bar was eating and want to come back to try the other items on their menu. I give it a 4 star only because I want to try more menu items and see if everything holds up to a 5 star rating. Service was fast and friendly.

I was visiting a friend that lives down the street in the in the middle of nowhere Wisconsin and decided to stop over for a beer and a bit. Whoa, we split the massive burger and it was freshly packed and grilled to perfection. I had a taste of the old fashioned and it was good, but I opted for local watered downl lagers, as it was fitting for the spot. Good place for a few drinks and some slamming bar fare. If you are in yhe area I highly recommend you stop in.

Very good food. Decent prices, friendly people. We would definitely return . And apparently it's the center of the universe they even have T-shirts.
