Howie's on La Crosse

Reviews & Tips

• 0

  Howie's underwent a major transformation in the past several years.  It is now a very open and progressive bar and grill that serves good food and has great service.  The ambiance is modern and with an emphasis on sports - lots of TVs.  I have tried a number of their dishes and have been satisfied every time - nothing exceptional but always good.  
  
  I recommend the HHH Burger - anything tastes better with an egg on it.

  One of my favorite places to relax! It's a great place to meet up with friends, have a drink, and catch-up. The staff are friendly and accommodating, plus the food is delicious!

  Ok so Saturday and Sunday Morning for $5 u get 1/2 glass of vodka and a nice selve serve bar of make ur own bloody with a huge selection..cant be beat? Meat, cheese, veggies, spices, etc. We went for 2nd n 3rd helpings of meat n cheese while topping off our bloody's due to the 1/2 glass of vodka they give u.. Place is beautiful, very clean and tidy.  This was going to be 5 star rating until the food came..
  
  Presentation of plates was very good but lacked flavor, spice and taste- this place needs a real chef and it could easily be a top notch place in LaCrosse.
  The food was mediocre at best- we got burgers n wraps..how can u go wrong? The burgers were cooked to death and the wraps according to my daughters sucked.
  
  I must say I would go back for the bloody's 5 stars, but I would skip the food...btw I tried to order my burger medium and she stated I could not as they are all cooked the same in a press? Have they not heard of a griddle? A place this nice needs a good chef serving food that will set it apart from the competition- think? you are right across from the college- $5.00 burgers (like a culvers style pattie, thin lean and spicy will get the placed packed in...lose the frozen fries and go to real potatoes. PEOPLE HATE FROZEN FOOD, WE CAN DO THIS AT HOME.
  
  Servers were quick and Friendly which is A+ for service- after a rough night (satuday in down town lacrosse)- Sunday Morning Bloody fixed the hangover problem but the food brought it all back...uggg

  Great sportsbar....plenty of TV's and good ambience. We really liked the ability to order any of their burgers as beef or turkey. Their sweet potato fries are great and served with maple syrup. The clientele is a mix of college students, guys meeting to watch a game, couples, etc. Very nice addition to La Crosse.

  Howie's is now under new ownership and has gone through quite an extensive renovation. The interior decor and setup are just great; there are two levels, plenty of new televisions for watching sports, a couple dart boards, and very nice decorative touches. The service was extremely friendly and the manager even came over to chat for a bit. Though the waitress got our order correct, she did have to come back one time asking for a reminder about one of the dishes we ordered. While far from fine dining, the food is now way above-average for a bar. Though it certainly wouldn't hold its own against a full-scale restaurant, it is all homemade and very good.
