The Barn has been a fixture in southwest Wisconsin for 40 years. If you’ve been around long enough to remember when the place was a dilapidated barn, you’re in for a very big surprise.
The barn retains some rustic charm while delivering an outstanding family friendly dining experience. It’s located just north of Prairie du Chien on the Mississippi River.
You’ll want to take some time to explore the grounds and all the nooks and crannies of the restaurant. The facility overlooks a nice marina and a scenic golf course and is the place to see a stunning sunset.
The Barn has a lot to offer visitors, including two full service bars that have great views. The front bar is open to the public Tuesday through Sunday and the golf view bar is available by reservation.
The restaurant has a reputation for consistent service and deliciously prepared meals. The handmade pizza is very popular and they have some great cheese curds, but if you love excellent steak, you’ll want to choose from that section of the menu.
Choose from a generous cut of top sirloin, grilled beef filet medallions topped with sauteed onions and mushrooms or a beautifully marbled ribeye, charbroiled to your liking. Enjoy a meal as perfect as this setting!
The Barn Restaurant is open Tuesday-Saturday, from 4-9 p.m. Dining reservations are available Thursday – Saturday. Visit the official Facebook page to learn more.
