In July I visited the Wild Badger for the first time with family. I had no idea they hosted Bingo, let alone movie and music bingo. My family had a blast. Everyone enjoyed the food they ordered. The atmosphere was fun and inviting. The waitress was attentive. The DJ was awesome. Two people in our party ordered a single alcoholic beverage. It sounds like the Long Island was excellent, but the other drink (something blue/specialty) was a little too tart. Other than that, a lot of fun was had, and we will definitely visit again.

Stopped at Wild Badger this past Thursday after a show at Somerset got cancelled from a storm. For an impromptu Sublime with Rome gig at a local bar, the atmosphere and service here were INCREDIBLE. Door staff were quick and attentive, bartenders were on point, and the waiter (Rider) was making sure everyone was taken care of. Somehow he made plenty of rounds with a full tray of shots and freezies through a packed crowd! Staff didn't even seem to break a sweat with wall to wall people and such chaos after a massive storm and a large show being cancelled. I can't believe that a small local bar had better service on such short notice than an entire music venue did with months of planning. Patio here also had a no smoking section with comfy couch seating, and a sign that said they are pet friendly! We will definitely make a trip out to visit Wild Badger again in the future!!

This place was so busy, we knew there would be a wait. Well worth it!! We were greeted quickly and the staff were all extremely friendly and attentive. Prices were not bad, and the food was excellent. The bloody Mary was delicious. They even have a kids menu, which is just perfect. This is a half hour drive from me, but I will definitely make the trip again!

I was pleasantly surprised at how delicious the food was here at Wild Badger Sports Saloon with it being more of a sports bar. I had an order of their tacos and they were really great. Great toppings and meat. The drinks were more than reasonably priced. All of the staff there were friendly. The place has a nice atmosphere to it.

Got lunch here with my parents and the food and service was awesome! We had a very friendly server that took care of us for food and drinks. The cheese curds were amazing, a very nice light breading and they came in a metal cup. The Clucker, the famous chicken sandwich on the menu is what I ordered. I got it fried knowing how good the cheese curds were and I could not have been happier with my choice! This chicken sandwich was simply amazing, and would you look at that fancy branded bun? Not to mention the house chips were very delicious and crispy.I will definitely be coming back to this location!

Food is really good! Do not order a margaritas unless you like them made with starry. I should have read the menu before ordering one.
