Red Pines Restaurant in Onalaska, WI

Took my mom out to dinner here last night, Wednesday. We arrived about 5:30....full parking lot as a lovely end of summer/start of fall evening, despite the near perfect weather, we didn't ask for deck seating. We had asked for a standard height table to which the hostess informed us that would be around a 20 minute wait. I reluctantly caved and said a high top table would be fine. To my delight the tables had comfortable and easier to hoist my shorter frame up on to, thanks Red Pines! The place was bustling but the volume wasn't irritatingly loud, again thanks Red Pines! Our table wasn't far from the bar and my mom commented "wow they have four bartenders!" So... if you're thinking of having a libation while you wait for your table, or just coming in for a drink? Fret not, you will be taken care of! In my photos you will notice a high top near the hostess stand, that too is a place waiting guests can have a seat while waiting for a table, as there's not benches or anything. Very courteous! If you look up and around... I rather enjoyed the north higher wall being decorated in taxidermy and he upper south wall? Beer signs; a good mix for a woodsy bar. Glancing around out at the patio, appreciative that they had a "curtain" to roll down for that Sun Sets in the West as to not blind any diners. I didn't venture past our table near the bar to see what the dining area was like at the westernmost portion of the bar where I could see standard height tables in..... Parking? We were lucky enough to find a spot right across from the door. They have a couple of lots, but spots may require a jaunt..... The food was good, my mom opted for a Red Pines pizza. I asked our server Rena if she'd order he Roll Tide wrap or a burger? She enthusiastically replied the Roll Tide. I opted for that sans the tomato. Side? Well..... pick a side...any side. Red pines has them...all! I opted for the sweet potato waffle fries. They were alright... some weren't done enough...maybe jumbled up in the fryer basket? Definitely not bad, I would definitely order them again. The Roll Tide was good... had a bit of heat on it, definitely not bad, just wasn't expecting it. Thanks Roll Tide for a good meal provided w good service. We will be back, cheers!

Can't wait to come back on my next visit. Layla was a great waitress. Not only in service but also in recommendations for tourist stops. She sent us to Granddad Hill in Lacrosse and so glad we did not miss that stop! I had the Nashville Hot honey chicken breast sandwich. My husband had Blackened Walleye and we split the Wisconsin cheese curds. EVERYTHING was great. Loved the added touches like blankets at the table in case you got chilly. Too many things I want to try, will have to come back!

This place is amazing. My family came in from Tennessee for my breast cancer surgery and we went here the night before surgery. Their menu has a little bit of everything you could imagine. We had the poutine, chicken wings, meatball sub, shrimp bowl, meatloaf, and schnitzel. Everything was so good! Can't wait to visit again after chemo

Best clam chowder I've had in Wisconsin! Walley was great. Fried Mushrooms were great, everything was great. Food was delicious. Service was great. Restaurant was packed, but it was Friday night Fish Fry. We drove an hour, waited an hour to be seated, and will 100% be back again.

The best of the best!! The Reuben, the philly, cheese curds, and sweet potato fries were fantastic. Our waitress was so friendly, great service, and very accommodating when we needed to move out of the window seat, no hesitation and very pleasant about it. Fun atmosphere, bright, clean, lots of seating. This was my second time being there and both times were great and we will be back for more greatness!!
