501 Tavern

Met up with a friend for a good Wisconsin Sunday brunch. The 501 is a long time local establishment going through a few owners over the decades. It was a quiet morning there and we were hopeful that would mean a great breakfast. The staff was super friendly and quick but the food really lacked. I had the classic-just a basic 2 eggs, bacon, hash browns and an English muffin. I ordered the eggs medium and they were so hard. The muffin was cold and the hash browns were greasy old and inedible. I think this place does deserve a stop-even of its just for drinks. It's an iconic locale and great history.

21/2 stars. If you're looking for good food, this is the place for burgers or a fish fry. If you're looking for a dining experience or atmosphere it is not, everything was very odd. No hostess, so you seat yourself. At least 10 minutes before anyone came to the table. Took our order Along with the drink orders. Never offered to bring any water. Another 10 minutes before we got our drinks. Food came missing breadsticks and tartar sauce. Asked a few times for at least the tartar sauce. Supposed to be all you can eat, but never offered more. We didn't want to ask because there was only one waitress.

I had not been to the 501 Tavern (formerly Seasons) in North Hudson since it opened last fall. I called and found out that Friday night is a fish fry featuring cod. I like walleye, but I miss being able to get English style fish and chips.I called and made a reservation with Christina, showed up at the reservation time (6:00), and was seated promptly.The fish and chips were excellent; the service by Rachel was outstanding.Mako and Liza were both very graciously helping to serve, and it was a great experience.I will return as they have a well-rounded menu.Well done 501 Tavern !

For a building that has had a few other attempts at a restaurant bar, I think this one will be a Hit great service and food I will be back again soon! The Fish Fry was what I had and it was wonderful,

i have lived near this bar for many years. i bet i have seen 4 or 5 bar and restaurants come and then go. i lost count really. i went to a couple different iterations over the years since its close to my home. all the previous occupants of this building? well, there is a reason they are all gone.this is the first bar and restaurant at this location that i think is going to survive. the reason why is that in terms of food? i was extremely impressed with the fried cod, and i am going back to try other things just because for local bars? i think this place is the winner for food

Best poutine I've had in Wisconsin! Waitress was super attendant. Table was clean, interior is VERY Midwest with wooden and brick walls- loved it.

A great ambiance, we'll decorate for Log Cabin style restaurant. Service was excellent! Best Fish Fry, crispy outside and plenty of fish meat inside. Tartar sauce and Malt vinegar, it just raised it up with one more notch, so yummy! Cuban sandwich was a bit dry and dense bread. other than that, we will go back for Fish fry again. May need to try something else next time.

Excellent!!If you're looking for a comfortable place to have a drink/beer and grab something to eat - this is the place. First, don't let the outside fool you. The inside is rustic and inviting. The downstairs is even better. We ordered beers and started with the nachos with grilled chicken. The beers were cold and the nachos were spot on. Next we moved on to the main entrees. Chicken Cordon Bleu sandwich, Buffalo Chicken Wrap, Pulled Pork Sandwich, and the Kielbasa Dinner. All four entree's were well portioned, hot when served, and very tasty. There were zero complaints from anyone at the table. As to the service - another 5.0. I'm thinking our waiter was also the owner. He was extremely friendly, helped out when it came to the menu, and never left our glasses empty. We will definitely be back!

A friend and I stopped in here while out on our motorcycles.The first thing that hits you is how authentically "Rustic" everything looks. There's a double fireplace in the middle and this upper level over looks the bar below. We were greeted immediately by Mako, very friendly, and shown to a table. The food was delicious and prompt, and the whole experience was quite pleasant. Once again the service was great, you could really tell they were looking out for you, and that's something I really do appreciate.I understand they have plans to expand the menu, maybe have prime rib on Saturdays. I will definitely be back for that !

Food was ok, nothing special. Service was good and prices were reasonable. Old cabin atmosphere was a bit overdone. It was a quiet spot to have a conversation with old friends.
