Draft City Self-Pour Taproom & Eatery — Restaurant in West Baraboo

We came here after a long day hiking based on the glowing reviews on Find Me GF. My mom has celiac and we were excited to see so many options on their menu and reviews that showed the owner has clear put a lot of thought and care into ensuring the food can be enjoyed by all. Unfortunately we had a terrible experience with our server. She was rude and dismissive throughout our time. When asked if the beers/ciders/drinks were labeled GF (totally okay if they weren’t but a fair question to ask!) she said “I have no way of knowing about the beers, I just work here.” We understood and my mom just picked a cocktail instead. We wanted to add sausage to our pizza and asked if the sausage was GF. She said “it’s sausage…” and I explained that sometimes gluten can be found in meats if breadcrumbs or certain seasonings were used. She said “well we season all our food, so.” I asked if she could ask the cooks, and she said “well I’m the head chef here. I’m not cooking right now but I know more than they do so that won’t help.” It was so rude - how hard it is it to say “unfortunately I can’t confirm the meat is gluten free”? She then said “I guess I could look at the package? But we throw them out…” and was clearly annoyed. I said don’t worry about it and we hoped for the best. I pulled up the comments again to read them thinking did we go to the wrong place or something? The food was REALLY good and my mom did not get sick. I do think the owner has put thought into the menu and the kitchen is set up to reduce cross contamination. However, the server needs to be trained on how to kindly answer these questions even if the answer is no or it’s information she doesn’t have. We are used to the lack of knowledge about gluten and it’s not a big deal if we need to skip an ingredient, modify, etc. However the rudeness was really inappropriate. Great pizza and salad though - I guess your experience depends on when you go and...

5 star food, 4 star beer.  Too many unique flavored beers from less popular craft beer breweries.  I would recommend getting in some quality Wisconsin craft beers.  I did not see any Leinenkugel, Tyranena, Northwoods (Osseo), New Glarus, Potosi, Lake Louie).  Desperate upgrade needed!

Food on the other hand was 5 stars!  We had the half size of Nachos ($16, $13 on Taco Tuesday!) which come with a choice of carnitas, beef or chicken on top along with other great Nachos toppings!  The portion size was huge (see video) and I chose the carnitas (pulled pork) which was nice and lean.  My wife had the Pretzel Board which come with warm pretzels (2 kinds) and dips (Queso, Garlic Herb Cheese Spread and Stone Ground Mustard). If you enjoy fancy Pretzels and dips, then you gotta try this one.  See picture, good...

We went over a holiday weekend just looking for places to go with our dog. I went inside to get our beer tab cards and let the server know that we were outside and she immediately asked if we were with a dog and if our dog wanted pets. Brooke and the other servers were so nice and accommodating and brought a water dish outside for our dog and even offered a special dog meal (chicken, rice and vegetables for $7). Our dog loved the meal and ate it all up quickly. We ordered the feta bruschetta and the bacon cheeseburger pizza on thin crust and they were both to die for. This is a wonderful place that might get overlooked by some of the bigger breweries and wineries in the area but it really is a wonderful gem of a place and worth the visit. And not to even mention the...
