| - I've been by Mr. Brews often and it was just a matter of time before I went to eat there.
Being pretty new, the place was immaculate. Clean and tidy inside. We grabbed a table and checked out the menu. I was a little surprised at how limited the menu is. Clearly, they are all about burgers. I wanted a salad, but they had two choices - a really basic, plain salad and some walnut deal that I wasn't interested in. They had a pulled pork sandwich that I was very curious of, but I went with my usual Mushroom and Swiss - the server said it was amazing, so I went for it.
The food came out quick (but not TOO quick that it had you wondering, you know?). My burger was excellent - big mushroom slices and gooey Swiss cheese. There was a "gravy" that went with it that tied it all together. The server said it was one of the best in town, and I wasn't going to fight him. My lunch partner had the pulled pork and she enjoyed it. We split a basket of "chips" - they looked a little over-done (pretty brown and crunchy), but they were salty and tasty. Our server was chatting with us near the end of the meal and mentioned the chips were really good with their beer cheese "sauce". He brought out a sample for us to try - it was thick, like a dip, and UH-MAZING! They make it from scratch there - very beery and popping with flavor. I wish I would have known earlier so I could have had it with all my chips! I bet that sauce is great on a burger, too!
The service was fantastic. Granted, it wasn't very busy when we were there, but everyone we encountered was over-the-top friendly. The manager came out to see how things were and we chatted for a bit about the franchise and how they were doing (being new to Waunakee). Both the manager and server were genuinely interested in how we were doing and what we thought of everything. You could tell they cared, and that's a big plus.
I didn't get to explore their beer options, but I could see they had a wall full of taps (I would have loved to try one of each, to be honest).
I gave it four stars. I'll eat there again without hesitation. Others should too! This could be someone's 5-star favorite. The only think keeping this from being 5 stars for me is a few more menu options and maybe some comfortable seating (a padded booth versus all wood seating). But that's being nitpicky - go try this place! Have a burger, enjoy some beers, and have a good time!
