Top Spot Tavern and Grill

Came back after 5 years and they have maintained the quality of the cheese curds! This time I went with the Ruben and it was a bit shy on the pastrami but otherwise a good sandwich. We love the area and will return.

Food was great and drinks were great! My family loves the whiskey sauce on their burgers and sandwiches. The outdoor patio is perfect for warm summer days. Staff is friendly but our waitress was missing for most of our time so a different waitress helped us out. Overall great experience!

Table of three, appetizers came out cold. Boneless wings came out without any sauce. Ordered our meals and 20 minutes later the waitress asked if we needed anything else or wanted our checks. We asked if we could still have our dinner. Another 20 minutes or so passed before our food came out. Pizza crust was so hard it was not edible. Coworker had a chicken sandwich and same for his fries and the bun of his sandwich.

Average small town sports bar. Nice beer garden outside. Good location. Nothing special. Average food and limited (likely due to shortage of staff) service. If you are vegan or vegetarian, don't come here unless you want to drink only.

Top Spot rules; best food in Balsam Lake in my book. EXCELLENCE in service, friendly and totally committed. Hailee is straight up a wonderful bartender and server; attentive and nice and keeps the drinks full and the dinner is hot and fresh when served. Burgers are special, fish fry on Friday was great!Have been in three times so far (new to the area) and owner has greeted us each time with a welcoming, friendly chat. Highly recommend if you are in the area.

We stumbled into this tavern to watch the last half of a Packers game while in Balsam Lake. The drinks were great, but it was the warm and family-friendly atmosphere that impressed me most. There were a few tables playing cribbage, while many people young and old and everything in between were enjoying the day together. I definitely got the sense that most were from the area but they made us feel welcome nonetheless. The best part was when we arrived, there were no empty tables, but a patron offered us seats at his which was really nice gesture that confirmed my feelings about the clientele here. The bar staff was friendly and accommodating as well and we'd love to try their food next time. I would highly recommend!

Hands down the best food in Balsam, and has the most delicious hand cut fries ever! You can't go wrong with any food items here.

Everything was great. Food was hot and fresh, great bartender, everything you want out of a Wisconsin bar!!

Great service, great environment, great beer and an awesome space to hang out watch a game or just play some slots and win some money !

I stopped in to order sandwiches to go. It wad super hot in the bar. The bartender took my to go order. She wasn't friendly, didn't smile or say thank you. She suggested I prepay for my food which I did, but I did not tip until I got my food. I did get a smile and thank you when I handed her a tip. The food wasn't that great. Reuben was over sauced and the meat was processed cold cuts and portion was very small. ​
