Went with some friends for lunch, had the B.L.T and was pretty good. The service however needs some work, slow and not very attentive.

I have been to the Silver Eagle a few times over the years and it has always been a pretty decent experience. The food is decent but the drinks are always good. Their prices are reasonable as well. It is a very casual environment and the service is always good.

Great place to hang out but unfortunately there is s thing named Lou who patrons the bar and has no problem harassing and putting his hands on women. If management would rid of this bar vermin it would be an even better place to hang out.

This place is a lot smaller than it looks on the outside, basically a square building and straight row for the bar area. With that said, they offer karaōke nights and really generous birthday specials(free drinks all night in their complimentary glass! See my photo for the full detail). The bartenders were nice enough, the ambiance is a bit divey, and they tended to go heavy on country while we were there.

The food is good but very very slow. I’ve been here a few times hoping that it was just a one time thing. Nope. Your order gets taken and then you wait. And wait. And wait. Once your food finally arrives, it’s good.

You never want to be «those» people who show up on a Sunday about 5 minutes before the kitchen closes and there’s only one person in the joint and they might be the bartenders boyfriend… and yet… we were. It’s my Husband’s birthday and they give you a complimentary burger and beers to celebrate another turn around the sun. Sweet deal! Delicious burger! Friendly staff… even if you’re the last at the last minute on a Sunday. We’re looking forward to going back! Nice place with great friendly faces behind the bar!

Horrible service! Got menus and drinks then after half hour and our drinks were gone and still the waitress hadn’t came to get our order so we left. She was behind the bar talking with staff most of the time while we were waiting.

Was lured here on my birthday by their offer of complimentary burger and drink on that special day. Enjoyed burger which came with very good fries. Domestic tap beer and rail drinks included [not wine.] Service was attentive. All in all an above average bar and grill.

Bad service and unfriendly staff. Everyone looks like working there has made them bitter, fat and angry. The food is not good; NEVERORDERTHEFRIES! The crowd there is so-so at best, usually on the trashy side. Guard your wallet or purse. Heavy smoking crowd as well.

Visited for the first time on Friday, July 18. Wow, what a disappointment. I had the«Monona Cheese Steak,» which is marked on the menu as a house specialty. The bun was unremarkable, and there was nothing identifiable as cheese — there was some type of cheese sauce that more closely resembled dressing than cheese. Worst of all was the meat — riddled with gelatinous fat. Steak sandwiches are supposed to be lean! Disgusting. I wasn’t expecting Philly quality, but this was gross. My girlfriend had the fried shrimp(it was fish fry night), and her reaction: «Meh.» We believe in second chances and may be back again someday, but it won’t be anytime soon.

Found this little gem from a co-worker we were sending off. I have to say that this place is awesome for watching a game of any kind. TV’s galore! This is a quaint little place right on Monona Drive and frankly there isn’t really anything bad to say about it. The drinks are well priced, the food is pretty dang good, and the staff is friendly and attentive. Two small qualms, the door leading to their outdoor smoking/patio area is obnoxious. We were trying to watch a basketball game and it seemed like every 5 minutes that dang door was slamming like a jet fighter flying by over the speed of sound. AND I was told the Boom Boom sauce was hotter than tobasco sauce NOTEVEN close haha but that is really nothing to scour at. Once again, a nice little place to enjoy a good meal, couple beers, and whatever game is on.

Sunday breakfast: website says the bar opens at 8am. Actually opens at 9am on Sunday. The service is terrible. But the bloody bar is fun and they have really good burgers.

Decent place, friendly bartenders. Lots of options for tap beers and amazing cider beer on tap. Yum! Bloody Mary’s were great too and can’t wait to get back for the Bloody Mary bar. Overall, good place and well be back. Younger crowd. Close to home. :)

The food is ok… but the service is just bad. Either you get a woman squeezed into a junior high schooler’s shirt who would rather be somewhere else OR you get a super hyper guy who thinks asking 40 questions about how your day is going is deemed good service… how about just not disappearing for 25 minutes when I need a refill?

Well, dang… my experience at my most recent visit to the Eagle left me with a bad taste. The male bartender was just not friendly, at all. Not one smile did he crack. I got the Eagle burger, and it was just blah. This is a major contrast from the beautiful gut bomb I had the last time I went here. The fries were waaay too salty, to the point of being inedible. I did use my VIP card, which is cool… hey, VIP! While my friend and I had Hopalicious pints, most of the drinks served while we were at the bar were Bomb shots(these people were going in HARD) – including one that was a shot of Jameson AND a shot of Jaeger with Red Bull(WHYMUSTYOUABUSEJAMESONINTHISMANNER!?). Finally, the majority of the crowd there kept going out to the smoking area, propping the door open and letting in gusts of Arctic air and NASTY cigarette smoke. This pretty much ruined my and my companion’s evening; we were sitting right by that door. When I told one of them to shut the door, please, I got a dirty look. The staff did nothing about this. Eh. Maybe if the Silver Eagle hired some real professionals to staff their tavern and wrangle their regulars, things would improve. As for now, I’m thinking I won’t be back for a while.

Great staff. Great happy hour. Great food. I would recommended the Boom Boom Wings, any burger or the club sandwich. Happy Hour is 2-for-1’s. I also think it runs 3 – 7. Lots of TV’s too

Horrible service. False Advertising. High Prices. Went here for lunch and my fiancé was excited because the burger came with«Unlimted Fries». Put in our orders for two burgers(his with fries, mine fruit – I do like the option of getting fruit with my burger) within minutes of sitting down. However, it took 20 minutes to get our food. The place was NOT busy. There were plenty of open tables and plenty of open seats at the bar, where we were seated. About 5 minutes after getting our food, my fiancé let them know that he would like more fries. We finished eating, and waited for the fries. And waited for fries. And waited for fries. 20 minutes we sat there and waited. They continually told us «They’ll be up soon» and«Your fries are on the way». I did make a point to communicate with the waitress that I needed to get back to work, and continually asked how much longer it would be, and eventually asked if we could get them in a to-go box because I was already late to work. However, the waitress seemed more interested in flirting with some of the guys at the bar than our needs. This is for LUNCHTIME. Eventually, we just had to leave because it was impossible to wait any longer. If the menu says«Unlimited fries», then provide your customer with unlimited fries! It should not be necessary to wait the entire time it takes to get a full order, just to get some more fries. I know that french fries are not usually made in individual orders. They make a big batch and split them on the plates as necessary. There were at least 3 other plates of fries that came out of the kitchen in the 20 minutes we were waiting. I also know that it does not take 20 minutes to fry some french fries. Point is, if you are going to make a point to put the word«Unlimited» on the menu, then bring the customer the item that is unlimited. Ridiculous. Left the bar paying $ 7 for a small cheeseburger and still feeling incredibly hungry, ripped off and PISSED.

last time I went here the bartender was more worried about giving his friends shots, eating his food and drinking coffee than to take my order. when he finally realized me standing there with my money in my hand five minutes later he acted as if i inconvienced him. Gave him a two dollar tip on a drink, went back up to bar the second time he didn’t notice me again, and i got his attention by saying«hey man i just need an empty glass» then he walk past me and the empty glasses across from me takes a dudes order who just walked up and grabs a glass after helping him so he oviously heard me.

Perfectly nice place with good food(burgers are charbroiled) and very attentive staff. Lots of windows for looking out at part of the Aldo Leopold/wooded area across the way.
