Eliza's Lounge — Restaurant in Mineral Point

This is a newly opened bar/restaurant/music venue in Mineral Point. We were in the area for a weekend getaway and happened to see the chalkboard sign in front of Eliza’s saying “Live Music and Dinner tonight!” I reached out on the website to ask a few questions and received very timely responses about the menu (BBQ) and reservations (they do not currently take them).

The food is over all excellent. They are best at smoked meat and you will not be sad with any of those options. The sides are good but not great. I'm hoping they put a little bit of time into perfection of the sides. Like make a baked potato option, change up the slaw recipe. But overall I'm excited to keep coming back for many more delicious smoked meat...
