Stopped in for a quick bite and a drink before a football game after Google said they had the best burger in Menomonie. Spoiler: We were not disappointed! The bartender was very pleasant and friendly when we walked in the door. It's a neighborhood bar, and the ambiance is an old school Wisconsin tavern. We ordered a couple of drinks and also ordered a bacon cheeseburger and fries. The drinks were cold, the service was great and, the fries were well cooked, I'll be damned if Google wasn't correct about the burger. A all the way around! When we're down in Menononie again, we WILL be back!

I really like the place and it has a very calm crowd. "However" when i go there for packer games they have a very weird touchdown shot that seems more like kool aid then a shot. The problem for me is on the second game of the year they ran out of shots like they didn't think the pack would score. Havent been back since.

My goodness, this place is still open lol. I used to come here with a bunch of coworkers at 7am after our overnight shift at the glass plant over 25 years ago. They would open early. We had fun.

If you're looking for a great burger at a great price, stop into this little neighborhood bar in Menomonie! My daughter and I like to try out new places whenever we can, and we were blown away with Tom & Jo's. Small menu with just the right amount of choices. Our bartender was awesome as the server and the chef. We will definitely be coming back to try out their broasted chicken and onion rings!

Broasted Chicken was the bomb diggity. Good machines, pool table, and 2 different pull tab stations. Great small-town bar tucked just off the main drag.
