Always a great time at the Bus Stop! Updated 8/22/25 - the baked whitefish was great! Thanks Mo!
I’ve been here on multiple occasions, and every visit has been consistently great. The food is always delicious, and the service is outstanding from start to finish. The bands they bring in are always awesome and really add to the atmosphere. Each time I come, I leave impressed. Honestly, I just can’t complain.
First time here, came early for dinner with friends. Waiting for the comedy show to begin. So far everything is great, clean bathroom, friendly staff, great burgers, great fried pickles, good onion rings, great wrap and chips. Will come back. Wait is dessert available?
This was our first time visiting the Bus Stop Bar & Grille. We stopped in for a late lunch and were promptly greeted by and drink order taken. Staff was great! Very friendly, attentive, just great service. It was not really busy, but she was working a number of tables and the bar. There are great selections on the menu and the prices are in line with most everyone else. We got a cheese curds appetizer and I have to say, we thought they were the best curds we have ever had! Our food came out in a reasonable time, hot, and exactly as we ordered. I had the Bus Stop Burger. It was really good, but I thought the patty size was on the small side. That is my reason for four stars and not five for food. I know it seems trivial, but I was expecting one of those big bar burgers. Their homemade chips are excellent though. My wife and daughter also enjoyed their meals and had no complaints. The establishment was clean and it was a great environment. They appeared to have a group of regulars at the bar having a great conversation, which added to the experience. Definitely a local neighborhood bar feel. I would recommend The Bus Top Bar & Grill for the food. I am not sure what weekends are like or when entertainment is going on, but our weekday experience was great. Thanks Bus Stop Bar & Grille!
The food was fantastic! My chicken pecan salad with raspberry vinaigrette was truly delicious and my summer shandy was tall and ice cold! Service was excellent. It was a lively little spot that was also playing some good oldies music!
Decently priced, good drinks, food is always on point, and they have pull tabs!! Great place for family and friends, or for date night. Hometown feel, great food, and it won’t break the budget. They also have entertainment on the weekends!
Great place. My wife said we've been here some years back but I did not recall. But won't forget it from here on. Friday they serve perch and it is excellent. The onion rings are awesome. The clam chowder was really really good!!
Great food and service. Our server was outstanding. The food was delicious. Two of us had their famous Fish and Chips. The other person had their Beef and Noodles. Can't wait to go back and have that dish. Highly recommend!!
