Chris' USA — Restaurant in Burlington

Visited last week (Wednesday) shortly after opening (11 am), per recommendation from the local True Value.

Had a takeout order of double burgers, wings and onion rings.

Friendly cashier (said he was a recent hire) and a very nice lady in charge - she did everything.

Food was outstanding.

Travel quite a bit (recently got back from Texas and Tennessee) and can't recall when I've had better versions of my order from Chris's USA.

Had concerns due to prior recommendations from locals in Wisconsin "you're gonna love these burgers" Of highly rated restaurants in SE WI - they were terrible. Meatloaf patties between buns that were overloaded with garlic salt.

Another common disappointment is variations of chicken loaded with salt (is salty food a Wisconsin thing?).

The food from Chris's was excellent. It was how (I think) it should be - the burgers and wings let the tastes stand on their own. Beef and chicken - nothing poured over to cover the natural flavors.

Thank you to the employees in the sports section of Reineman's True Value for the outstanding recommendation of Chris's USA.

Of course, thank you to the friendly cashier and the very kind lady in charge when I visited Chris's USA.

The service was great and the food was outstanding.

Will definitely go again when I get a chance to be in the area - hope to try the other items...

Update: have had a stomach ache since an hour after eating here. Not sure if the food was properly prepared. Removing 1 star.

Very conflicted writing this because the food was great but the atmosphere was not. Decided to stop in for lunch since we had driven past so many times. Was immediately met by a dark, smelly bar, and glares from the regulars. The regulars continued to glare at us and shoot us suspicious looks throughout our meal. Bartender was polite and the food was great and very reasonably priced. If you are young and not a regular, save yourself the awkwardness and order carry out or go somewhere else. Also, this place is marketed as a restaurant with a bar. This is false. This is at its core a bar, that also happens to serve food. Had we known that, obviously we would not have casually stopped in for lunch, because it's not that kind of place. Disappointed because the food...

Came in with Carol on a Fri after checking in at the Skyview motel across the street. It is doing brisk business for the fish fry. The place All you can eat fish...baked or deep fried... including coleslaw, rye bread and potato pancakes or french fries for $9.95. The 2 piece is $6.80. The bar has various tap beers including Hacker Pschorr...After getting cheese curds fried in very fresh oil Carol & I split a 2 piece fish and a wonderful burger. The burger was a freshly pressed overcooked one and the fish was so good Chris's is the type of place I would make the trip from Milwaukee for the food and the...
