Northwoods Brewpub & Grill Reviews | Eau Claire Restaurants & Bars

0

The place: Standard pub/restaurant feel, with huge windows that show the beverages that they brew in house. Gives it character.

The taste: Yum. We were just passing through driving to Milwaukee, and the gardenburger was delicious. We also shared a delightful burger and a slice of raspberry pie. Could have done with a little more crust on the pie, but as they're known for their pies...it was pretty tasty.

My face: Happy that you can leave home with a whole pie - either a 9" (which is plenty big) for $11.99 or a 11" (I think) for $21.99-$25.99 ... plus a $6 "pie tin refundable deposit." As we were just passing through, we opted for the smaller pie. Including the $12 pie, the total bill for lunch for two was $35. Pretty reasonable.

My wife and I are big fans of Norske Nook, home of prize winning pies and that Norwegian staple: Â lefse. Â Heading home today we didn't have the time to cruise on to Osseo so we stopped here. Â No lutefisk on the menu: Â thank God. Â That stuff is toxic!

I very much like the ambiance of Â this place: Â not the big brew tanks but the restaurant portion with northwoods decor and a nice view of a snow covered pond outside the window. Â They have a big fireplace and a few embers were still going so it smelled like a Â northwoods cabin: Â I love that smell!

Our server, Heidi, was pleasant and efficient. Â I had the salmon lefse wrap: Â very good salmon and a good amount of it too: Â 4/5 stars. Â I tried my wife's cranberry stuffed french toast: Â 5/5 stars. Â I had a side of fries; a lot of them: Â 5/5.

Of course we had the Norske Nook pie, made on site. Â I had lingonberry apple mmm - mmm Â good (5/5). Â I tried my wife's cherry crunch pie: 4/5.

They didn't have NA beer. Â Their menu has a pretty good variety but nothing that sounded unique or possibly gourmet (compared with Great Dane in Wausau). Â Prices and daily specials seem very reasonable. Â

Total bill $32.42

As one reviewer noted there are two entries for this restaurant and bar; I chose this one because the spelling and URL match their website.

The service was slow with over priced food. Note that their are two listings for this business on Yelp. I suggest you check out the other one as well.

Northwoods has been making fine beer for years and in 2009 the brewmaster recreated Walter's Beer. Walter's, Eau Claire's original regional brewery, closed down in 1991 and the beer has been unavailable since 1992. The new version made by Northwoods is a great full bodied Lager. Try it, you will love it.

Food is good all around with friendly service. However, the bar staff has a tendancy to stand around and talk to each other vs. the guests -leaving many with empty glasses. This being Wisconsin, don't be afraid to raise your glass to get their attention.
