Went in last night after smelling their food every night from our hotel room next door and they did not disappoint. There were 6 and 1/2 of us and we each thought the food was great including my 1 year old granddaughter who loved the chicken strips (and ketchup lol). I don't get the haters of the cheese sauce... Yes it's thin but very tasty! And the pretzel & cheese curds were the best I've had. Our waitress took great care of us and was super friendly. Will definitely be back to try more things.

I was in the area and this place was recommended. I came here open minded, and all I know was I had my eyes on the pretzel. I tried my luck at pull tabs to no avail - bummer. Onto the food, we tried mushrooms, cheese curds, and the coveted pretzel. The mushrooms were good, but I've had better. They needed some seasoning or salt for sure; however, the horseradish sauce served with it was bomb. The curds lived up to WI's reputation and their ranch is delicious. The pretzel itself was good and salty just how I like it but that kitchen staff send out broth water as cheese and some nasty mayo and called it mustard. Nope! Skip those awful sauces. Sneak in your own cheese. It's worth mentioning our server's crotchety lackluster service. We weren't given a greeting or even a smile the entire time. Could have been she's having a bad day, but was an awful experience. I would go back if someone wanted to, but I'd wait longer to get a different server.

Great hole in the wall. Plastered in Packer stuff and as a Viking fan I still come here. Though I sometimes wonder if my skin will start burning as I cross the threshold into packerland. Waitresses are fantastic! The cheese curds... the OG of cheese curds and how cheese curds should be.

I've been to Philander's a handful of times the last few years. This past Saturday my bestie and I were in the area and needed some grub. We indulged in a few different appetizers because we just couldn't decide what sounded the best besides three different ones. Let's just say our eyes were much bigger than our appetites after all. We had the mushrooms, pretzel, and cheese curds. Mushrooms were very good. The horseradish sauce served with it was excellent.... Compliments it well. Cheese curds.., can't really go wrong. The pretzel itself was soft and tasty. The cheese sauce and mustard served with it was absolutely AWFUL! The cheese was so runny like soup broth and the mustard tasted like a mayo-ish..... definitely did not taste like a mustard. I'd pass on the dipping sauces with the pretzel. The restaurant is pretty hidden. Next to a motel and gas station. Inside is decorated country like... Up north vibe. They have pull tabs in the machine and a few slot machines. Nice size bar area. Good amount of seating indoors and outdoors. Lots of packer pride. Now for the service-- terrible. By far the worst service I've ever received here and I'm disappointed because it was my bestie's first time here. Next time, I'll have one of the burgers and may try the shrimp appetizer. Lastly, I really hope I receive a better waitress who wants to be at work.

If you're looking for a really good bar burger or a top-notch Reuben sandwich, this is your place. The onion rings and the deep fried mushrooms are excellent. Very reasonably priced and the service is fast and friendly. A bit loud but it is a bar.

We had dinner at Philander's last night and it was very good. We both had the 2 piece Codfish dinners with boiled red potatoes. I had the fish chowder and my wife had a dinner salad, both very good. Out server was Nancy and she did a wonderful job of taking care of us. A very large crowd so it was a bit on the loud side. But when you have good food and service you should mind putting up with a little noise. You can bet we will be back there very soon.

First time I was there I had a cup of their homemade soup - Garlic Mushroom. It was the best tasting soup I've ever had, wish I'd gotten a bowl instead of cup and wish I'd taken some home. Have been back there a number of times since and the food is always good. Service is fast and friendly. Want to go back this summer to sit on the outside deck.
