Voted the best restaurant in Chippewa Falls in a Volume One reader poll.
This historic building is rumored to be haunted and is the home of a wonderful restaurant! There is live music on weekends and a big screen TV on game nights. Their burgers and steaks are the best quality I’ve had anywhere and vegetarian options include: wild mushroom risotto, truffle fries, walnut burgers, flatbreads and pasta.
