Brightspot Bar and Grill De Soto WI — Restaurant in De Soto

Went for breakfast this morning to find out Bright Spot has new owners as of the beginning of July. Won't be going back. Prices are good if the new owners keep the same. Some things went up in price but if don't look at the bulletin board in the restaurant you wouldn't know until you got the bill. It's cash only but you aren't told that until you get your bill. No sign anywhere saying cash only. The owner is the only one serving. They were busy you wait along time to be acknowledged when you arrive. The server/owner quite rude. Probably in the wrong business. We questioned our bill because it seemed high and she actually said to be quiet while she was adding. She ended up charging us $5.50 for toast. Then charged us $1.50 for toast when the price on the menu was $1.00. She said that was an old menu and looked at the other menus and they all said $1.00. Ordered a bloody Mary and never received it. The egg sandwich had only one piece of bacon and the order of toast was barely toasted, with no color. I couldn't even ask to have it remade because the she never came back to ask how things were. Also breakfast only served until noon, no where did it say that unless you ask. If somethings don't change this restaurant won't make it with the new owners longer...

It's a shame that little places like this don't get more attention. A small staff with great heart. We had an impromptu dinner recently and had a delightful time. The food is cooked in the best home made tradition. A fried combo plate was not greasy, the onion rings and cheese curds were tempura coated just before frying and the mushrooms were equal to the other two. Burgers are humongous and as good as they are LARGE, buns are fresh and cooked just right. It's a tavern and restaurant but the owner makes you feel like you're sitting in her dining room. ...

The Brightspot under new ownership—and better than ever!

Now under new ownership as of July 1st, Shannon and Todd are exactly the kind of people you want running your neighborhood bar. They're warm, welcoming, and genuinely happy to see both old friends and new faces walk through the door.

Whether you're swinging by for a drink or trying one of their delicious dishes, you're going to feel right at home. Stop in and see for yourself—these two are building something special, and it's well worth supporting.

I highly recommend their homemade...
