The atmosphere was casual and inviting. The varied menu made it hard to choose which meal to try. The Chicken and artichoke was fabulous, reasonable...made you want to lick the plate! Dessert of Peach Berry Crisp was the perfect finish. Hardworking staff during trying times is to be commended. Bravo!
Best bar in the state. Smart bartender who recognizes Chicago fans. Makes a mean Manhattan while I wait for my girlfriend.
I went in for dinner, I ordered a to go meal and it was really good, I had the sea bass with capers, spinach and tomatoes with potatoes for my entree, a vegetable platter for my appetizer, and chocolate cake w fresh strawberries and vanilla ice cream for dessert, a house salad with sliced apples and homemade bread and butter, I felt very special after eating such a costly meal and it being cooked well. I hope to return again someday soon to try another dish on your menu that is also good
Delicious food and great atmosphere. We dined outside and it was beautiful! Erin was our server and she was very friendly plus helpful with any questions we had. The chocolate cake is AMAZING!!!
Celebrated my wife’s birthday with a delicious meal and and great atmosphere… Waitress was awesome and her cartwheel was so great… Bartender and other staff were so friendly and welcoming… Thanks for making her birthday extra special…
Passing through Wausau I searched for something different as my wife deserved a treat and I tried Back When Cafe. Hit this one out of rhe park!
What a delight. A lovely woman greated us at the door (compensating for the surly look from the bartender)😊 and the vibe of this space was a delight. A young guy waited on us and his positive attitude was contagious. We had two appetizers fried garden vegetables and the blue/hazelnut/honey crostini and a spinach salad for Sweets and the zucchini pasta with a meatball for my waist. Did I sat Meatball? That's why I'm writing! From the Bronx, raised in The Great State of New Jersey, living in Chicago - I know meatballs. I am one! How did Wausau WI steal my best meatball honor? Well they did! Tell the Food Network and Guy Fierri and all thos other Foodues to get their butts out to Back When Cafe. And dont forget the Meatball!
This is the only sit-down restaurant we've visited during the pandemic so far. My daughter and I visited during a Thursday night Packers game in early November and felt very safe inside. The food was wonderful, staff was friendly, and tables were safely distanced. Portions and prices were reasonable. We enjoyed the meatball Caesar salad and gnocchi with a glass of wine and a Shirley Temple. Definitely recommend.
Excellent food and place. Everything tatsed great and was perfectly cooked, Fish and beef!
The only reason not to give a 5 stars review is because my wife received her plate once my daughter and I were done.
