Wild Badger Sports Saloon

We walked into here by accident, the place my lunch companion was looking for was next-door, and we had drinks ordered before she realized the mistake - so we decided to give it a tryThe ambiance of the place IS nothing but sports bar, I think 3 dart boards, one of those bubble hockey games, etc.We both got salads, i tried the taco salad, and it was pretty traditional, a shell that they probably fried on site, lettuce shredded small, making it had to get on the fork - nothing to write home aboutMy companion had the harvest salad, and she was very happy with it, the grilled chicken breast, the field greens, and she really liked the poppy seed dressingThe waitress was pretty attentive, but the handheld PDA thing to place the order and pay on, was a little unwieldly (especially trying to do a signature on the thing)Over all, decent little locals sports bar

Overall a positive experience - 3.5 stars.GOOD:1. Our food was pretty good. It's obvious the Wild Badger makes an extra effort with the menu. The flavors of the fried pickles, the onion rings, and my Ragin' Cajun Burger were good. My friend and I rate the BBQ special a solid 4 stars - good stuff.2. The service was very good. This is especially amazing considering the bar was full and about a third of the tables were occupied, all of this being serviced by 2 people - one server and one bartender. Like everyone else, they're short staffed but they hustle and get it done.3. Pricing all seems very reasonable.4. The décor is nice - lots of wood and dark warm colors. Everything was super clean. Nice!NEEDS IMPROVEMENT:1. NO MORE 2 pound burger challenge!!!??? This was the whole reason we stopped by. They brag about it on their website. But it's gone. Bummer.2. The breading on my fried pickles and the onion rings was nice and thick...but they had raw and mushy batter on the inside. Yuck! (Longer cooking times, please.) Also, the bun on my burger was soggy. A nice try - close - but they missed the mark.3. My Redneck Girl specialty cocktail was really wimpy and light on alcohol. I'm a light-weight and it didn't faze me at all, I could hardly taste any booze. Plus, the presentation was poor and it didn't look anything like the photo. If I order alcohol from them again (if ever), I'll probably drink beer so it can't be messed with or screwed up. It's hard to skimp on alcohol content with beer.4. These guys have a bad reputation for a lot of fights, assaults, and bad behavior at night. I happen to personally know a person that works VERY CLOSE BY, on the same block. He's always entertaining us with stories about the latest incident at closing time. It seems like management needs to get a handle on unruly drunk customers late at night.- Maxx

Small town bar/restaurant that was amazingly busy for a Monday night. Must be a good sign that the place is popular, which usually means it's good too. Bar is really nice with a rustic feel. Couldn't believe wow big it was. Sat at the bar and ordered a drink and a Rueben and some Boneless Wings. Food came out in a reasonable amount of time and I was satisfied by the Rueben. The wings were maybe in the "average" category, but certainly not bad. Not being a local, I was really impressed by the friendliness of the patrons of the bar. Usually if you are not local and by yourself in a small town, people look at you like you have two heads. Tonight multiple people talked with me as I enjoyed my meal. Kinda fun! The bartenders and waitresses however weren't as friendly. It's not like they were rude, just not interested in any real interaction. Kind of got "drive by" service from the staff. Basically took order, delivered order, and collected payment.

Our server was great, service was fast, food was on par. For the price, this is a solid 5-star experience. I had the cod fish/chips + sweet potato fries.As a Californian visiting from afar, I have to admit it was really interesting seeing a TV w/remote installed in each booth. I've actually never seen that before. ‍Areas for improvement? None, really. The sweet potato fries were near perfect, but I'd ease off on the salt just a tad so it doesn't overpower the sweetness of if it as much.

Over 30 mins to get the special...wings! There are 7 other people in here...one table which has already eaten. Still waiting...

Yeeeee hawwwww-----If you are into mechanical bull riding---wood lodge road house type atmosphere and a fun environment where they serve fishbowl drinks and have live music and dancing this place should be on your radar.How can you not enjoy a bar with the name WILD BADGER???? I had an awesome female bartender/server but I did notice there are others working there that are not exactly female friendly---Let's face it as the woman in the relationship I pretty much decide where we are going to go and drink and hang out---so I would rather frequent a bar that has Jennifer Aniston type bartenders and a little less Angelina Jolie --There were a ton of older gentlemen just hanging having beers in the middle of the day---but this gets a huge young college crowd in the evening Food was decent enough and not badly priced!

Cute place, food and drink specials are fantastic. Service was good, I could live without hearing the word cheers ever again.

Went for happy hour, which was a great time span, 11-6. The only beers on HR were light beers and rail drinks sadly.Went on tuesday, 4pm, so I seen the posting at door which said TuesdayTeas on special. I showed bartender her the sign which said "lexis choice $2 teas" Tuesday.I was told Lexis works nights , doesn't apply during day!NOT GOOD!!The street tacos however were good!

Did a reboot and have a great selection, chiken wings sold by pound, about 12. The walleye tacos are supreme really good seasonings. Rieben and burgers great.

Had an hour for lunch food took over 40 minutes to get some food. Those of us that received our food had raw burgers. The fourth person in group never received food.
