Tofflers Pub and Grill Review

       Our second stop on the pub and brewery tour, Tofflers, only fit half the bill. No on site brewery, but a bar full of New Glarus Brewery beers made us happy, happy, especially after hours of walking the Farmers market, (see previous post on market and stay tuned for future post on Brewery itself). Since we had walked and sampled our way around the Farmers market and planned on cooking all our goodies that night, we just wanted a quick, light meal, RIGHT, in Wisconsin there is no such thing.

      We started with New Glarus beers, Fat Squirrels (nice nut brown ale with great flavors but not too heavy) and Two Women ( a classic country lager, very crisp and refreshing). Just a quick aside , we sampled many of their beers but I do not believe we ever tried their most famous beer The Spotted Cow. So on with the ordering , I chose the roast beef sandwich with, once again, homemade chips (really what is it with homemade chips in Wisconsin? Though I will say, sometimes you just get sick of french fries), Dean also had a sandwich , the name of which escapes me now and both women went for the Cobb Salad, as the picture's clearly show, light was not what we got , Tasty yes, light NO!!;

      Once again a trend is appearing here. Wisconsin pubs (or wait is it a bar? I am going with pub cuz the food is so good), serve some damn, tasty food. My sandwich was incredible, maybe one of the best ever. Slow braised beef had been hand pulled apart and piled high on a kaiser roll, with Swiss cheese and horseradish sauce on the side. The sauce was GREAT not only on the sandwich but perfect for dipping the chips in (LALALALA not listening, I am on vacation). Once again chips were crisp, fresh and salty, The salads were gigantic as you can see and made with fresh ingredients. Everyone loved the meal and once again this is the type of local place I wish we had in our town.

       One quick note, the main reason we were in New Glarus, was because of their incredible bakery and next door meat shop. We stopped to pick up some home made potato rolls for the brats which we picked up at the meat store. These are the kinds of great, small places you find all over Wisconsin, LOVE IT !! Last of the New Glarus pics followed by our review;

On a scale of 1 to 5;
Food,                Quality means much more to us than quantity.

Beer and Wine,  Based on selection and pricing

Service,             Speaks for itself
Ambiance,          Does the look fit the food and pricing 

Price,                 And finally does the pricing equal the results we had.

Food,                     4.5 Actually no faults at all, other than it is bar food, but REALLY good bar food

Beer and Wine,    3.  What is there is good but not alot of choices
Service,                 4.5 The staff here was great.

Ambiance,             3.5 Again, its a bar so not much atmosphere but still clean and nice.

Price,                     4    Price was very reasonable for what we ate.

Overall;                3.90  Another great find, this pub tour is starting to work out great.
