The Shed

A nice spot for dinner! As others have mentioned, the beer selection is great and a stand out feature of The Shed. Glad we stopped in on a Saturday night while driving through. ‘Furthermore’ is a good brewery I hadn’t tried before.
I had a ‘Slip’ burger, which was a burger slipped inside a grilled cheese. It was pretty good, not the best burger I’ve ever had. Companion had fried chicken sandwich with garlicky sauce — he gave me a bite and it was better than my meal.
I liked the interior fine, it was clean and comfortably lit.

Good good and pies! It gets busy in a Saturday night but it’s worth the wait if needed.

Went here last night for dinner and a beer.
They have a really good local craft beer selection but slightly overpriced for the style/​area of this restaurant. Pints were $ 5.00 which is steep for a dive bar. I also thought it was strange that their pints were more expensive than bottles (even though you get 4 more ounces of beer with a pint). Its a dive bar in rural Wisconsin and draft beers shouldn’t be this much.
The food was OK — I had a ¼ lb burger. Like others have mentioned, they charge a quarter per topping, so if you want lettuce/​tomato/​onion, it costs .75 cents more. I’ve never seen another place that charges for toppings in this fashion.
My wife had some sort of veggie sandwich which she said was tasty. I cant comment on anything else really. I think this bar supports mostly locals because a lot of people knew the bartenders and called them by name.
All in all, I will probably come back here sometime. Not too bad for Wisconsin.

I was disappointed. Saw a large advertisement on the way in and it is just bar food and nothing all that good at that. Service was pleasant but one meal was skimpy for the price. The onion rings, cheese curds were done well and good. The salad bar was simple, clean and fresh but nothing more than average. Dining area is small. I have heard that Freddies is much better food and the place to go when in town. Next time I will go there instead.

Hidden gem! Great food & awesome pies! Go for dessert anytime, have a Tom & Jerry during the holidays. One of the best T & J batters around.

I don’t understand the good reviews. This place is pretty lackluster at best.
I had heard of this place before, so for lunch my wife and I stopped in. It really does kind of look like a shed on the inside, for whatever that may be worth.
My wife ordered a cod sandwich. I ordered a Reuben sandwich. We ordered no alcoholic drinks. That is most likely our biggest mistake. Had we ordered copious drinks, maybe we would not have noticed that the cod sandwich was one of those from-​frozen square fish patties on a hot dog bun. My Reuben was okay, but also seemed to be a slapped-​together conglomeration of freezer fare. It didn’t contain a lot of meat, and lacked the spiced pickled flavor of good corned beef. The sauce was served on the side and tasted like something straight from a cheap salad dressing bottle.
We both received a small pile of potato chips on the side that were mostly small pieces like what you might find on the bottom of a chip bag. The cottage fries were also the kind you would get frozen from the grocery store, and could have used another minute in the fryer.
I have read reviews calling this a «dive.» Ok. If you look up «dive» in a dictionary, it will read something like, «a shabby and disreputable establishment (as a bar or nightclub).» Perhaps by that definition, The Shed is a dive. If you are into that sort of thing, help yourself. I’ll go to Culver’s first before The Shed.

The shed wasn’t as much of a dive as some of the other reviewers have suggested. It’s a comfortable little small town bar with a nice little dining area.
The locally brewed beers were the highlight of our visit while our burgers were quite good but nothing to write home about. The brews were five bucks a pint and the burgers, served with chips (no fries) were about $ 6.50. The Shed charges 25 cents each for lettuce, tomato and onion which drives the price of your burger up a bit and seems excessive – besides just being annoying.
Our server was pleasant and attentive.

Nice place, very nice people with acceptable service and food. The service isn’t very fast but they are very polite servers. The Friday fish fry is ok if you get the fried fish (a little soggy though). The baked fish is dry and seasoned poorly. The fries are a little cold in the middle. We had to wait several minutes after our food came to eat because they didn’t give us our silverware. The food flew out of the kitchen once we got our order in (which took about ten minutes before anyone noticed us). Once we were done eating it took about 10 minutes before the bill came, which drove me nuts! It is a family friendly restaurant on the dining side. They also have a bar (which I did not try). They are a ok restaurant with kind people and mediocre food.

Great food, cozy atmosphere. Good selection of beer and large menu with something for everyone.

Food was not very good. The chicken wrap was no better than Kwik-Trip’s. Dining area needs more lighting. When we first sat down, we had to listen to someone (Owner/​Manager) upstairs yelling at someone else on the phone?

Great little small town restaurant and bar! Friendly and clean! Food is amazing, love the bacon burger, O so yummy!

Let’s just get one thing out of the way: The Shed is a dive. There. I said it.
With that said, it’s a dive that has two things dive bars usually don’t: good beer (most importantly) and good food (OBVIOUSLY secondary to good beer).
We stopped in here while staying at the House on the Rock resort on New Year’s Day. Apparently people consider that a national holiday and NO ONE, I repeat, no one, was open. The entire town was closed… Except The Shed (thank you for that!). Luckily, The Shed had all we needed to offer anyway. We sat in the bar area (there’s a diner section too… but there’s no action over there) and immediately ordered some good ‘ol Wisconsin craft beer and fried cheese curds. (Have I mentioned how much I love Wisconsin? These are two of the major reasons why). We also got a couple of sandwiches too. I ended up getting the Jake burger (a bacon burger with jalapeño cream cheese) and it was damn good if I may say so. The burger was overcooked, which I’d say is unfortunately typical wherever you go, but the toasted bun and the toppings were so good I didn’t care. The sandwiches come with chips (like Lays Original, not fries) but you can upgrade if you like.
Overall, this is a nice little towny joint with a decent enough beer list to make snobs like us happy. Give them a try if you ever happen to be in town.

Nice place, great food, awesome drive. Will come by again.

Zero stars. Is that possible? Fine I had to give a star but they don’t deserve any. By far the worst dinner experience of my life.
The server couldn’t remember a drink order that consisted of «2 glasses of Merlot and a Brandy Old Fashioned» as she hushed others in our group to hold onto their order until she got back as she couldn’t remember it all.
Broccoli on the Salmon Dinner & Shrimp Skewers were ice cold. The salmon was so incredibly dry. «Loaded baked potato» was a joke. When we mentioned to our server the broccoli was cold her response: «oh».
Spaghetti was gross. Cheese curds and coconut shrimp were «good» but not much competition with the rest of our dinner.
Coconut cream pie was good.
Incredibly disappointed. You would think The Shed would be gracious when a table of 5 sits down on Monday night for dinner only because all other restaurants in Spring Green are closed Monday nights.
If you go here I would stick with appetizers and canned/​bottled beer that they can’t mess up c

There’s plenty of places to go in Spring Green. The Shed seems to be THE place to go. There’s always something going on: fish fry, locals night, music, kareoke…
Solid menu, standard bar fare but with some twists. The Fish Tacos on Friday are my favorite. Good burgers, a salad bar with home made soups. The desserts are home made as well. Daily lunch/​dinner specials can be amazing.
You won’t find too many places with such an eclectic crowd. The place was packed to see… the TV broadcast of ‘The Sound of Music’. World Cup soccer? Good luck, the place is packed for it. Same for Football season and Packers games.
Family run and family friendly.
When we come into town it’s just assumed that we are going to The Shed for dinner and we usually are.

Ah, The Shed… I have to admit to an emotional response when walking in the door, as I remember slipping in to pick up the only available take-​away pizza in miles and miles, years and years ago, when worlds were smaller. They are a friendly and informal bunch.
The TL; DR review is: judge this particular book by its cover. If you are cool with the outside, you’ll definitely be cool with the homestyle bar food available here.
If not, things are less predictable. An improvement on what was served years ago: they have an actual menu with a variety of options on offer… that’s a fairly big deal.
This is a microscopic town joint (full stop). There are those who would say that if you’re Unilocaling, you’re probably not going to be a superfan of The Shed — style culinary experience.
Nothing exceptional… just (good enough, to be sure) bar food. Will continue to go back, just not gonna let expectations exceed possibilities. A dive is a dive.

I give this place 5 stars for service. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. The food, however, was not quite blowing me away. However, we did have a gluten free crust pizza, so it was perhaps not the best choice to review them on. I would definitely try them again if I was in the area and get some of the more traditional fare for the place.

Perfectly pleasant small town pub with good food, low prices, and nice people. I enjoyed the Ms. Ruthie chicken sandwich. My wife had the chicken parmesan. Good size portions served with lays potato chips. Our waitress was friendly and the food came out fast. The meal finished with a nice array of pie and cake type dessert options.

The Shed is a small family restaurant attached to a bar, the kind of place I grew up going to with my parents. The atmosphere was great. The burger I had was giant, perfectly done and super tasty. The prices were very reasonable if not cheap. My daughter had the French Dip which she raved about.

We were staying in Spring Green and checked out Unilocal to find a place to eat for dinner after visiting Taliesen. We decided on The Shed. It’s not much to look at on the inside, but the food was good. I started with the cheese curds, which were great. Then, for the main course I went with the Jake — a bacon cheeseburger with a jalapeño cream cheese sauce. It was quite delicious. For dessert, I had the grasshopper pie. It was nice. All pies are made in-​house and you can tell.
Overall, this is a pretty good hole-​in-​the-​wall for a quick meal.
