Richard’s Bar & BBQ

Ordered wings on Wednesday wing night, not that busy yet, also not in a hurry, sat a a table for almost an hour had a couple drinks. Said hey, could we just get those to go? Dude was super cool and said he was sorry for the wait, no big deal just wanted to go. When we got home and ate them they were awesome wings and thank you for picking up the tab. I will be back.

They are getting better. The fried pickles were amazing! The brisket sandwich could have been very good, it was cold inside and tasted like it was cooked a few days ago. But they are making progress.

It's a quiet bar tucked away by the airport. The bartender was friendly. Unfortunately, we all ordered the same meal, so there wasn't much of a taste test. We went in looking for ribs, but that wasn't on the menu as we had hoped. We all agreed that the hammer sandwich needed more bbq sauce.

Mediocre at best. BBQ "sauce" had so much smoke flavor that it puts the flavor in liquid smoke to shame. Cold fries, pork tasted like old sow meat smoked as much as the sauce to cover the taste and then smothered. Watered down catchup for the unsalted fries. Stopped in for ribs because O'Dennis is closed on Sunday- ribs are not on the menu. Owner asked how everything was but seemed offended when we gave an honest answer. Bill came with the fried pickle chips still on it even though they never came. Kids didn't eat the chicken strips because they were dripping in grease. Atmosphere is nice, recently remodeled. That gave it one star.

Well, it is Wisconsin and that means it is a bar and restaurant. Given that, food was very good, service was very good and atmosphere is what you would expect from north of that magic line that separates Chicago from the Promised Land: Wisconsin! Thanks.
