The burgers, fries and sandwiches are good and it’s nice in the afternoons when there is no rush. My family went one Friday nite for fish. We got an assortment of their fish. They have cod, crappie, walleye and one other fish… slips my mind. Anyway it was fine but we couldn’t tell the fish apart by the taste. It all tasted the same whether beer batter or breading. Plenty of food not much flavor. The line at the salad bar was long and salad bar was not replenished so a lot of items were low or gone. Very busy but disorganized place. The employees pay more attention to each other than the patrons. It could be so, so much better.

My husband and I recently moved to Roscoe and decided to try out Fibs for dinner the other night. We ate in the bar-area(our choice) so we could get our drinks right away. That was certainly not what happened. Our waitress/bartender was easily distracted and it took her a fair amount of time to even ask us what we wanted from the bar. She did apologize for the wait, and then apologized to the couple next to us for their wait. That’s all well and good, but it was a Wed night and the bar was no where near full enough to excuse the wait. On to the food. Prices were quite a bit higher than I expected to see for bar food. Quality was decent enough. My husband opted for the open face meatloaf sandwich and I had the reuben. Both were good, so no complaints. I give Fibs a 3 out of 5. It certainly wasn’t the worst place I’ve ever been, but it definitely wasn’t the best, either. We will give it another try at some point, but I’m much more eager to try some of the other local restaurants first.

Food is good. Service is good. Dinning room is dirty! Cob webs on the décor, dark paint, bad atmosphere. I wonder what the kitchen looks like if the front of the house is this bad.

We have eaten there several times. The staff is friendly and the food mediocre. They always seem to be busy. But the place is a dump! Dirty, ripped chairs, worn floors, cakes of dust and dirt on the ceiling tiles and fans right over the bar. I wonder how much of that falls in the food or drinks! If they are doing so well why don’t they invest money to fix the place up? I won’t go back

This place goes through owners a lot. Went here a month ago and a horrid smell made me want to gag. Not sure what that is. I cant go back. Food is ok but so many owners must drive the prices up. I didnt sit at the bar or have a drink so dont know if it smells over there. Bathrooms are clean. But sorry. I cant go back there.

This is for fibs in brodhead. This place used to be descent as in it was hit or miss. It’s conveniently close to home so I try to give it another chance once in a blue moon but the last time our waitress was basically nonexistent. Other times as well that I’ve been there the waitresses act like their to good to be there… And the food has gotten bad, like they aren’t even trying to make it edible. I do not recommend. Last Friday my husband and I were sick before we even made it home. Best thing about my meal was my beer, to bad I only had one because my waitress was never around to order another. but honestly I was so pissed about my food I just wanted to leave. I get your busy but i could obviously tell the joint wasn’t packed.

Typical burgers and bar food. Never been disappointed but never overly impressed. I do feel the prices are a little high. The last few times I have been there is a strong smell of chemical cleaning supplies. It turns my appetite. Staff is usually attentive and friendly. I wouldn’t personally choose to go here but I go with friends and it’s tolerable.

This review is for FIBS North — we have always had wonderful service here! There food is excellent and the place is lovely… It has changed hands quite a few time over the time we have had the house in Albany and this time they have it right… VERYFRIENDLY and clean — only thing is I wish they had decent wine — those individual bottle are not good — if ATTICA can have a restaurant with a wine list surely they can! Go there a couple of times a week…

Was in Sunday Memorial Day wknd for dinner service at Fibs North in Brodhead My son ordered a kids fettuccine meal. He didn’t like it so I tried it, had a very sour taste. Server apologized for the meal and asked if he wanted something different. My son declined. They took his meal off of the check. I had the meatloaf. I ordered it without gravy but the kitchen messed it up and just tried to remove it without me noticing it. The meatloaf was bland and had a somewhat mushy taste Wife ordered a cod sandwich, pretzel roll was burnt badly, fish was alright nothing special about it. Tasted like a frozen food truck fish Daughter had mini corn dogs. She enjoyed them with her applesauce. I had the salad bar with my meal. It is not all the rage like other viewers. I would give it a 6 at most Server was mediocre. Never came by for our refills or if we were doing ok. I had to get her attention for my sons meal. Will never return All others have been warned, stay away

This is for FIBSNORTH. two hours and 10 minutes to be served 5 burgers and fries to our table. Burgers were well done(sawdust), fries were cold and soggy. Backdraft burger without jalapeño peppers and hot sauce, really. Spoke with the manager and she could have cared less. In fact she tried to tell us they’ve only been open less than a year. WHAT does that have to do with anything. Place has hit the toilet, won’t return and will forever bash, strike three. Wife(designated driver) brought up a good point on the way home, wondered if we were all drinking water, instead of beer, if service would have been faster.

What is the attraction? Only plus side to our meal was the beverages were nice and cold? Ordered Elk burgers, my wife’s was salty, mine was cold. But wait, our appetizer came 2 minutes prior to our order, seriously. Back to diner, we are convinced that one of us did not get an elk burger, neither tasted the same, to be honest neither tasted like elk(I hunt elk). My wife’s sweet potato fries looked like they were left overs from the other diners that were«warmed» up in a microwave, my «homemade» chips were either salty or soggy, how does that happen. WON’T RETURN, EVER.

Good burgers. Tavern style. They need a better ventilation system. We could smell several different smells of items charring on the grill. It takes away from the taste of the food. They need more predefined burgers. The«build your own» becomes too pricey. Oh yeah… can we exchange the preserved jalapeños for fresh?

If you like to make a reservation and then wait for 1 ½ hours this is the place for you, if not stay away. The only reason we stayed is because we had a $ 50 credit. LASTTIMEHERE… IfI could have given them a 0 star rating I would have.

Fibs has an excellent bar area with social bartenders and sports games on big flat screen TVs however it is not a sports bar and no where near as loud as one. This if one of the few bars in the area that carry one of my favorite beers — Landshark. That alone will keep me coming back

This is one or the few places I have found that has Land Shark bottles. Every time I go, the bartender is very friendly, conversational and responsive. The ½ lb burger is made on a sub bun instead of a hamburger bun, unlike their ¼ lb burger. They also lack the basic idea of culinary science by not putting the cheese before the lettuce and tomato. The moisture from these guys made the bread soggy and fall apart near the end of the meal. I would not recommend getting the burger at all. The cheese is supposed to be used as a moisture barrier so the lettuce or tomato doesn’t get the bread wet/soggy. Besides the burger, I love the atmosphere and décor. Really good place to check out.

Great Food and Service. Salad bar is not great. However, meals are tasty and good portions. Wish a Sides came with sandwiches. Dad liked the Prime Rib special. 4pm on Sunday and it was almost empty

About 3 years ago or so my girlfriend brought us home fish dinners from fibs. she bragged up the place about how great the food was so I was really looking forward to my meal. She ordered fried fish, they gave us baked, the fish was slimy and had bones it was horrible fish, the baked potatoes were old and gray in the middle, and they left out one order of slaw, and totally forgot all condiments including lemon wedges. Of course after complaining to the owners they wouldn’t make it right, in fact they tried to blame her for placing the wrong order REALLY… sorry but if I own a restaurant i’m making all my customers happy, and not just homey town folk that keep me in business.

Great Fish Fry on Friday night. Karaōke usually follows around nine, while not«The Voice» quality, it’s pretty good. Several family visits with 4 — 10 people at a time. Salad bar is restocked in timely fashion. The crappie and the whitefish seem to be the best and a couple of us(adult son and myself) had seconds. Kids had burgers and fries — scarfed them up. Some of us had chicken, which was very tasty. We always enjoy the fish fry. Beer was cold. Free refills on ice tea and soft drinks. Service was very good despite being very busy on Friday nights. On another occasion a friend and I enjoyed the Fish Fry while eating in the bar area. No complaints. Suggest you call ahead to get on the wait list, or you might be sitting or SRO for a while. Get here early for the Fish Fry or the service declines and the food sometimes runs out. No points for running out of food when the restaurant does a «land office business» on Friday nites. Parking is usually a problem, try a drop off if no space is available… good luck finding something nearby. From a facility perspective, If you are looking for a WOW factor, it’s not here. Older building, somewhat dated motif in restaurant and a bit dingy. Just perfect for a small town guy(me) and a small town crowd. Am going to try the Prime Rib one of these days — heard it was pretty good. Others say not so much. We’ll see!

Its close to the office so I eat here 3 – 5 times a week. It has a diverse menu but some great specials. The food is very good and service is usually quick. If you go for the fish fry, be prepared to wait a long time. Its worth it.
