Mary Cody's Maggie's Lounge - Onalaska

The food was outstanding, the service was exceptional, and the prices were very reasonable. This is one of the best breakfast places I've ever been to.

Well, found an unexpected gem in Onalaska. This place is small, quiet, almost romantic.. We started with the blue chips... yum! House made potato chips, covered in crumbled bleu cheese and drizzled with a balsamic glaze... nachos style.. damn. Very creatice. Delicious! I opted for the Jam Burger.. a burger, cooked exactly how I ordered it, medium rare, with caramelized onions, fig jam and gouda cheese... Wow!!! It was as delicious and unusual as it sounds. What a great combo. I can only mention a few negatives... but not worth losing a star..could have been an off day.. and I have this 'complaint ' about a lot of places... the food didn 't come out piping hot! Ugh! Oh, and they serve pepsi products.. lol.. not much we can do about that. Overall, excellent and I hope to visit again soon.

I recently started coming here and while I've only been here twice I would definitely give it a 4.5/5. The food was priced fairly especially because it was really good ! I've tried a few different items off the menu and have loved everything. The staff was very friendly which made the experience that much better. The small deduction was just for the wait for food but it was worth it !

Mary Cody 's reminds me of a restaurant you would see on Restaurant Impossible . The space itself is split into a bar at the entrance with a restaurant in the back, a family friendly layout I guess. However the decor is unbelievably drab. I can just imagine Robert Irvine walking in and removing all the ancient dusty Italian decor which he would refer to as the dust collectors . The ambiance overall is a bit dark and dreary. As far as food, nothing on the menu blew me away. Very Cheesecake Factory vibes or what Robert Irvine would refer to as an identity crisis . The menu seems to be a jack of all trades but a master of none. Also, the menu is categorized by poultry, beef/pork, seafood, etc., a bit odd. Service was meh, slow, nothing memorable. Very standard I suppose.

I've only been here twice, but I think I've found my new favorite breakfast spot. Both times, I've requested a table by the window in the bar area, which is such a pleasant place to sit. The staff is incredibly genuine, and the food has been fantastic every time. As a vegetarian, I often struggle to find creative and inventive breakfast options in the area, but this place offers them at a very reasonable price. The artichoke-spinach and veggie skillets were spectacular! I plan to return every Sunday from now on. When it gets busy, the food does take some time to arrive (as it should), but the atmosphere makes you want to linger. It's well worth the wait. I can't wait to try the Caprese skillet next Sunday after the holidays!
