  Cool old building with high tin ceiling, exposed ductwork and huge old beams. Cheese curds were light and airy! Delicious.

  Had high hopes based on others' reviews. Sadly, we were disappointed. Sat at the bar because they were busy (which we also took as a good sign). Service was okay. Food was horrible - I ordered taco salad and the lettuce was drenched in grease from the meat. Hubby's fish tacos tasted like breading and nothing else. To top it off, it's apparently an Iowa bar. The Wisconsin bar was next door. Won't be back.

  I was in Prairie Du Chien for the day on business. Everything went very smoothly so I had plenty of time for lunch. A different restaurant was recommended but they serve mostly sandwiches and I was feeling a little more substantial.
  
  Ft Mulligans was also recommended and Yelp convinced me.
  
  A reviewer raved about the fried cheese curds. These I've never had so it was a must try for me. Along with the cheese curds I ordered a mushroom burger which came with fries.
  
  Back up a bit, this is an old building with a lot of character. Brick walls, narrow hardwood floors and stamped tin ceilings with suspended heating and cooling ducts. Yes my kind of place, and a bonus, the staff is just very nice.
  
  Back to the food. My cheese curds come out, and they were off the charts delish.  A very very generous portion, actually I had to hold back because I knew my burger and fries were close behind.  
  
  The cheese curds very very seductive, it was like they were calling me.. " Michael. Michael we want you". OMG.
  
  The burger was cooked perfectly and the fries were waffle type fries, also very good.
  
  BTW, did I mention that I started my lunch with an order of fried cheese curds? Apparently they are pretty popular in this area of the country, well Wisconsin is known for cheese so it makes sense.
  
  I don't think I'll be back in this town in the near future but if u am or I see cheese curds on a menu anywhere I go I'll be ordering them.
  
  I suggest you try them too and if your ever in Prairie Du Chien, Wisconsin you should eat here. You will not be disappointed.

  I bookmarked this place as a possible stop on a recent trip to Prairie du Chien and am glad I did.  For real, it was great space,  wonderful food and super service!  
  
  My friends and folks I met raved about Pete's Burgers and that's nice, but I had spent a day with the top down exploring the Great River Road, and was tired and sunburned.  Sitting down and letting someone take care of me and serve me was exactly what I needed.  
  
  I started out with an order of the Cheese Curds.  Seriously.  Y'all, I'm on weight watchers and had no business ordering them.  Worth.  Every. BITE.  I seriously inhaled them.  "Shhh...dont tell anyone.  This is our little secret," I told my waitress.  "I didn't see a thing," she joked as she took away my empty platter.  The curds were light and airy, tasting of hand batter and the most cravable things ever.
  
  I ordered those curds in a moment of hungry weakness and was wiser with my dinner choices, a Western Pork barbecue sandwich made of roasted pork tenderloin grilled with bacon, cheese and barbecue sauce on a ciabatta bun.  I selected a side salad and my body thanked me for the greens that offset my inhalation of grease.
  
  In addition to being the keeper of my secret sins, my server was fabulous, checking in on me often as I leisurely enjoyed my meal.  I enjoyed the vintage ads from an old phone book of local merchants  (2 digit phone numbers, yall) and loved the vintage gas pump transformed into a bubblegum machine.
  
  Id go back to Prairie du Chien to eat here.  It's a must do!

  This is a nice pub with a cool decor (old river town building with exposed brick and hardwood floors). I had a grilled chicken parm sandwich and my brother had fish tacos. Both were good, but the best part of the meal was the cheese curds appetizer. Beer battered and fried to perfection. When is Wisconsin, you gotta go with the cheese curds!
