Great food and beer!

My experience at the Ram was pretty good. Me and a buddy of mine had dinner there and it had a really good atmosphere. We went during a UW home game, so we thought that we would have to wait a good 30 to 40 minutes to be seated, but even though the place was packed we got seated within 15 minutes. TV's everywhere made viewing of the game really easy. I forget my waitress' name, but she was very nice and knowledgeable about the menu items. I ordered the king crab artichoke dip for an appetizer, it was delicious! It probably isn't best for a healthy diet, but if you're looking to indulge on some good dip, that's one to get. I didn't see many super healthy options, other than the typical salads. But coming to a restaurant/ brewery, I assume most people wouldn't be looking for a very diet friendly meal, although the option would be nice. For dinner, I ordered the crab and shrimp cake sliders which were great! It was a good amount of food, and coupled with a side of soup, it was pretty filling. My buddy ordered the total disorder porter burger, which was a monstrous burger. I got to have a bite of it and it was really good. I got a milkshake, which was kind of mediocre. My friend got a beer that was pretty good, it tasted very fresh and nice of tap.

Overall, the atmosphere was great. It could use a wider variety in the food menu, but still good food and beer. The service was decent, not the best I've had but still made my dinner experience a positive one.

• Pros: Delicious burgers and beer.
• Cons: Lack of health friendly menu items.

Nice atmosphere, horrible customer service

by Pappacallsmetex at Citysearch

I went there for lunch on a Friday and the greeter was very unprofessional; look, attitude and conversation wise, called corporate and the general manager to that store called me back on a Monday and seemed very rude. They were asking about my complaint and 100% was for the employee instead of wanting to take the time to listen to my experience. I felt more attacked then listened to. Food was ok but over priced. I would not recommend it to anyone and I will not ever eat there again.

• Pros: lots of TVs... good for games
• Cons: customer service was aweful

Average Food but Terrible Customer Service

by christineashley11 at Citysearch

The resturaurant looked nice but my experience quickly went downhill when it took 10 mins for a waiter to even notice that we had been sitting there. I had to get our own menus. My food didn't come as I ordered it. While we were sitting there I kept seeing other customers going up to the waiters and asking for things like refills and the check. The food was mediocre and I would never reccommend it to anyone.

• Pros: nice looking inside, parking
• Cons: lazy service

Over priced for below average tasting food

by cutebirdie at Citysearch

I really do not see what the hoopla is all about regarding this chain of restaurants. The food is below mediocre for the price they charge. Their lunch menu on the weekends has prices starting at $8.99 and that's for an appetizer!! My daughter ordered a teriyaki chicken sandwich, which was overdone (hard and tough) and my clam chowder tasted straight from a can. If you are desperate or just have money to burn and want to patronize a noisy place with unexciting tasting food, try this chain. Personally, I refuse to be a lemming.

• Pros: None
• Cons: Food, Prices

Good Beer! OK food and large crowds

Sign up on their web site for the MVP Club, and get a coupon for a free hamburger plus the usual birthday dessert deal. The Blonde is very tasty, but the Buttface Amber Ale is the winner. There is good beer on tap at The Ram. This place can get packed in both the family style dining area and the large bar section; so beat the crowds and get on the waiting list early. The hamburgers are the way to go. They aren?t fantastic, but they are pretty darn good after a few beers. It?s simply medium quality American style food in a casual setting with good beer. If you enjoy beer then you definitely want to give The Ram a try.

• Pros: Good Beer, Free U-Village Parking
• Cons: Long wait list
