Sheeley House Saloon

The place is so carming. Just a little run down but still has so much character. And bonus, it’s clean! Great music playing.
We ordered the valentine’s special. So this may not be a totally accurate review. Typically «special days» may mean food not normally made.
Started with the cheese curds. Real good. Salad was a little disappointing. The special cranberry mustard dressing sounded good but fell short. Great idea but needs a little tweeking. Lettuce was a little watery, tomatoes and cheese were from one of those big bags. Easy to get cherry tomatoes and better cheese.
The main course was potato, vegies and sirloin. Potatoes were home fries with Italian seasoning. Needed salt and pepper. Frozen zucchini and peppers with Italian seasoning. Too much italian seasoning! Please only add to italian dishes. Frozen veggies are never a good idea. Also needed salt and pepper. The sirloin was very good, smokey flavor. But also needed to be seasoned.
Desert was a delicious oreo truffle covered in white chocolate.
If I lived here I could see being a regular. The atmosphere is so wonderful. So full of charm and comfort. I am impressed with the attempt to make good food. You can see based on the menu who ever created it knows what is current, but the recipes and food quality need attention also.
I can see this place being a huge success with little changes that will make a huge impact.
I would recommend trying the place.

A rainy Friday, a dark autumn night. A disappointing pub.
Our food arrived after a very long delay– we had ordered before some tables even arrived, and they got food far sooner. My sandwich was burned and the portion of fries was tiny; my coworker’s salad was dismal in freshness and size; and two coworkers’ orders were combined into one basket. The server apologized that their food was combined, but didn’t provide an extra plate or anything.

Wonderful people, funky old building, and good food and drink! The bar/​restaurant faces the Chippewa River… and when the new park is done it should have a great view of the river. I haven’t been able to get out on my own for awhile — but now that my kids are older, I’m finding I have more time to check out these hidden gems in our community. I felt immediately welcome and comfortable. What’s not to LOVE!

Just reopened under new ownership !! Cheese curds were pretty good. Not the course /​grainy breading im used to but still good. Had the Caribbean pulled. Pork twice last week !! It was so nice I had it twice. Ha. Something about the grilled pineapple just made the jerk come out in the pork. Also tried the fish fry and it was ok. 1^st Bloody Mary was good. 2^nd one was ok. I hope they can keep in business this time :) check it out if you’re in the area.

Overpriced and average service. We fought a fly our entire dining time. Two stars were for the drinks and average dinner.

I stopped by the Sheeley House for dinner one night around 6pm. I walked right in the front door, was not greeted, was not seated, so I sat myself. After 20 minutes of waiters and waitresses walking by without acknowledging me, I got up and left. I’ve never had such terrible service at a restaurant in my life.

First time visit. Hostess was dressed very sloppy. Apetizer, Salad, and Soup were good, our steaks were WELL WELL Done, we asked for medium well, not charred to dryness. Potatoes were extremely dry and flavorless, Carrots were not cooked enough, dried out. Waitress was not friendly, and we waited about 15 min with no drinks for her to bring our check, couldn’t believe it when she asked us if we wanted desert, umm we said no. For about 25.00 each meal, we expected much more in the food and the service. We wont be returning.

Cheese curds don’t get any better than this. Stop by before your tour of the Leinenkugel plant.
