Great place off the beaten path that you definitely wouldn’t expect. The burgers are really good and the fries are even better. This is someplace you should check out!

Delicious lunch today at Knighthawk! Still full hours later. It’s nestled away in an industrial area, and was the perfect little escape from the business we had in their neighborhood. Cute patio that was well kept, as was the interior and the bathroom. Our service was excellent and the food was delicious. The sweet potatoes and tater tots were all the perfect crispness (good crunch factor). I got The Classic burger and it was meticulously prepared. By the way the pickles, lettuce, onions, patty, cheese, and bun were put together, I could tell the chef spent time and intention. It’s always a wonderful experience to eat somewhere where you can tell the food is prepared and served with love and care. And sizing was great foe the price! Definitely 1-2 portions depending on how much you eat. Thank you Knighthawk!

Not only is it unheard of to have a restaurant at a gun range, but a restaurant with a menu better than most places I’ve eaten! Designed originally by a head chef, the menu has expanded and simply amazing. Open from 11am to 3pm. The food is so good, it’s worth the visit even if you don’t use the gun range that day. You will not be disappointed!

Just returned from a vacation, wanted a good burger. This place popped up on Google and didn’t disappoint. Awesome burgers and wraps and salad. Really hit the spot upon our return to Wisconsin.

Siri are you trying to get us murdered? That was my thought when i was getting directions to an address in a secluded industrial park. The fact that we arrived and found a shell casing on the ground didnt help either. Needless to say this was a gem with amazing food and service.

Came here with my sister for a quick bite and we were blown away. The food here is PHENOMENAL. At first we didn’t know what to order because every thing on that menu sounds so amazing. We ended up splitting a wrap and a Burger because once the food was set down we both wanted each other’s food. I can honestly say that was one of the best burgers I’ve ever had in my life! Hands down. Oh and can’t forget about our appetizer Nick’s Curds. Holy cheese curds I swear I could’ve sat and eaten 3 orders of those. The chef definitely knows what he’s doing. SOOO DELICIOUS! Food AWESOME. Service AWESOME. We will most definitely be returning soon.

Awesome burgers. Be aware, they close at 3pm. However, if you are late for food, you can chill watching TV sitting on the comfortable couch.
