Beastro & Barley — Restaurant in Reedsburg

Chef Kari makes The BEST Cheese Curds on the Planet - Hands Down !!!!! I was extremely complementary of them and told the waiter Mike (who just so happens to be Chef Kari's husband !) my praise. He said after Kari graduated from Culinary School, she worked hard developing the perfection of her recipe. I had only had Culver's Cheese Curds prior to experiencing them at Beastro & Barley and now have to conclude since Chef Kari's are a 10 out of 10, Culver's only come in at a 6 out of 10 - sorry Culver's, but that's the truth. I thought you were great and now I know better happening to stop at Beastro & Barley.

When I had examined the menu online prior to arriving, since I had a large late breakfast yesterday, I had just planned on having the cheese curds and a small cup of soup. When I got to the restaurant with my friend, I saw the sole dessert offering: Coconut Cream Pie ! I wasn't sure I could finish the pie if I had the soup of the day: Chicken Ginger, so fortunately Mike provided an excellent suggestion: Eat The Pie First !

I devoured the cheese curds and the superb pie and still had room for a Med Bowl of Chef Kari's wonderful homemade soup. I did find the soup to be spiced to what I would say is a MidWest spice level. I am used to Detroit, MI Indian spices, and would say Chef Kari could have upped the ginger and my taste buds would have appreciated it - but not sure if the rest of her clientele would agree with me ! ;)

Well done Chef Kari and thanks for the incredible Eat Pie First suggestion Mike! Lives too short to deny yourself the Joy and Pleasure of eating a wonderful homemade large slice of delicious Pie. Chef Kari told me she makes her own whipped cream for the delectable pie. She also said her Banana Cream Pie is a crowd favorite too. Yum yum!

We'll be back next time we're outside the Wisconsin Dells and I can't wait to enjoy Chef Kari's daily...

Ok well it was ok, but surprised that fries don’t come with a burger. Just a burger on a plate, not even a pickle spear! I like a slice of onion on a burger not so much slivers of onion that fall off your burger while eating it. Onion rings, mushrooms just ok but could tell they were just out of a frozen bag. Fries good as we ordered them separately after not getting fries with our burger. **My suggestion would be to give fries with a burger and a pickle spear I do t think I’ve even been anywhere that don’t do that.

*Replying * None of us out of 5 people saw “burgers served solo” Like I stated I have never been anywhere ( Bar or Restaurant where they did not serve fries with a burger especially in a bar. Shouldn’t have had to ask for more onion but a nice slice would be much better than onion slivers. Just giving my feedback in hopes it will help you to know what people expect. SUGGESTIONS * Can be very very helpful as to make customers happy and coming back to...

Wow you guys, seriously. I am on a random getaway after months inside, but to an area that I have been many times in my life. I have experienced some new and pretty amazing things on this trip, Beastro & Barley being one of them.

This place is everything you love about a small town Wisconsin bar, but with the food kicked up a notch or two, or three or FIVE. We had an appetizer of sun dried tomato dip and bagel chips. I had the bacon cheeseburger, cooked the way I like it with all the fixins, and pickle fries, not pickle chips, pickle fries folks and they were the bomb!

My friend had the grilled chicken sandwich with regular fries which she said was amazingly flavorful, and not dry which is hard to find in a grilled chicken sandwich. Two thumbs up on that!

And of course we both had good Wisconsin beers to go with it.

This place is a must do, when you are in the area. You will NOT be...
