The dive bar to end all dive bars. The wings are the best for your bang in the state of WI. Ask for sauce on the side.

Just what we needed. Flew from Seattle in the morning and everyone was pretty hungry when we got to our destination. Headed here for food and Colonel Hart's did not disappoint! Everyone loved the food and I was thrilled to be able to expose my kids to fried cheese curds.
