Potosi Brewery — Restaurant in Potosi

This place definitely needs a face lift!!! The upholstery on the chairs R sad...pulled out of shape and ill-fitting and saggy, not 2 mention stain ridden and the cushions R just so hard and simply beyond uncomfortable. Our table was sticky in more than a few places. And DO NOT EVEN GET ME STARTED ON THE SALT AND PEPPER SHAKERS!!! They were head and shoulders beyond disgusting. I venture 2 say that they were virtually tyvek-needed biohazardlydisgusting enough that NASA might very well B interested in checking them out. Even my 21 yo son commented on their disgusting condition. One extra napkin on the table, nothing stocked...and we got there at around 5 pm. At that time there were 2 separate people sitting at it. There were only 2 other tables filled at the time we got there and seated. And as we were seated, one table of patrons left, leaving just us and the other table. I personally saw 3 Napkins on the floor, in different places, that staff constantly and continually walked over/around. One that we walked over on the way out, my husband actually ended up picking up himself. So there really wasn't any reason for any one working there 2 NOT pick up large items left laying on the floor, as they were not in any slammed or even casually busy!!! . We were finally asked about refilling our drinks about 90% done with our meal. My husband's cod was good.. could've definitely used more lemon and tarter though, if we'd been ask in a timely manner. Their Salads, while full of different items, has a different type of greens in it...spinach, radicchio, endive, arugula. So our son wasn't a fan of the bitter and hard-2-pick-up Salad Ingredients at all. His Mac and cheese wasn't all that great due to the ungodly smokiness of the ham that they used and put in there. I got a small side dish of their Mac and cheese, and I had to whole heartily concur. My chicken wrap was OK, but might have been better with some sour cream on it or some cilantro. Didn't have much in the line of flavor going for it, but did have a nice array of textures in...

I completely agree with one of the other reviewers, the atmosphere is great: Jeans and a sweatshirt or a suit, either way you won't feel out of place. The beer is fantastic, some of the finest microbrews you'll find on either side of the Mississippi. Snake Hollow IPA is pleasantly Hopped without the notable tannins that come from overheating during the hopping process. The Cave Ale was served at a perfect tempurature, and while it didn't hold it's head for very long, it did possess a smooth maltiness and a clean finish that allows your palate to savor the food. Sure a $9 burger should be good, but this was more than good. The burger was cooked perfectly to my request of Medium. Clear juices flowed out after that first bite and the cross section of the patty revealed a light pink center. The outside of my "Good ol' Potosi was not seared and crusty as so often happens, it was merely cooked to that perfect grey-brown of ground beef. Atop the burger rested 2 pieces of perfectly crisped bacon, an appropriately sized pile of sauteed mushrooms lending their buttery smooth texture, and a modestly sliced piece of Wisconsin Cheddar cheese fusing with the supple burger and the toppings. No Butter, Mustard, or Ketchup graced the warm, soft Pretzel roll that formed the foundation of this sandwich. One would expect this sandwich to be dry, it was definately not dry, but not so wet to be messy. Our Waitress, Tammy was wonderful; attentive, and charming without being pushy or entitled. She served us quickly efficiently, and didn't ask if everything was "ok" while we had mouths full of food. Not only was this a worthwhile trip, but it must be had again, as I did not have a chance to tour the...

Come for the beer and the museum, but do not stay for lunch. We were promptly seated at a table, but nobody came to wait on us. A table of 4 was seated next to us (2) a few minutes later, and they were acknowledged first. When the waitress finally came, we were not smiled at, greeted, or introduced to her. All she said was, “Do you know what you want?” She wrote down our order and walked away. I’m not sure what she wrote down, because a short time later she came back and asked us to repeat our order. When she came back with our beers they were full to the top, and she sloshed beer all over our table and just left it there. We expected our soups to come out first, but they came with the meal. I ordered the Italian sub. It was missing the cheese, tomato, and onion. Also missing was the promised pickle on the side. She set our food in front of us and walked away without a word. We had no ketchup or ranch to dip our foods into. We eventually flagged down a different waitress, who nicely brought us ketchup for our fries, but the bottle was frozen and no ketchup would come out. When we finished, our waitress dropped off our check and walked away. She didn’t clear our plates or ask us if we enjoyed our food. We were extremely disappointed that we drove across the state just to come here. Fortunately the beer museum was...
