Reviews For Crafty Cow: Burgers & Fried Chicken Lake Country

This place is fantastic! They have trivia night and serve some of the best food. It's a little pricey but worth it for a dinner date or a quick lunch. The staff is friendly and helpful. I particularly enjoy their Hot Chicken sandwich, which is similar to the original Nashville hot chicken I've tried. Stop in to grab a burger or a craft beer and see what Oconomowoc offers!

We had a party of 5 on Sunday afternoon. We were seated right away at a picnic style seating, (in the bar area, big table and bench seats, more comfortable than i thought it would be!) Our server was quick and polite, I unfortunately didn't catch his name. He was great! The food was fantastic! We had 3 teen boys with us and 1 just kept saying "this is my favorite restaurant!" Everything we ordered was so good, we all want to go back soo to celebrate HS graduation. Would highly recommend a visit!

If you’re looking for the best cheese curds you’ve ever had in your entire life.. this is the place... ALSO I love old fashions and mine was SO GOOD. So many people get it wrong but not here! One more thing.. order the sweet potato chips with the fluff. 12/10 Staff was SO NICE. SO GOOD. 20/10 recommend this place

Awesome place for a burger or chicken sandwich, tenders its all good. 6 burger Wednesday is perfect affordable date night out especially if you hit up their HH from 3-5...

We heard good things about this place. We finally tried it today for a later lunch, and everything was excellent. We were a little unsure as the bar tender who first greeted us wasn't the most friendly, but our waitress made up for it. She did an excellent job explaining the menu, keeping our drinks full and checking on us. The burgers were very good, and so were the cheese curds. We will be back!

Great burgers and really nice place. We went to the Oconomowoc location but they have 3 total. They had a decent beer selection and a giant tequila selection which I wasn't expecting. I will be going back to try the smash patties. Only complaint is the waffle fries could have been crispier. The cheese curds were fantastic and finally a place with more cheese than breading. Try the fried pickles also.

Peanut Butter Paradise Burger was amazing. BEST waffle fries! Chicken wraps we're delicious. Nice to be able to have fruit as one of our side options. Gin & Tonic Mocktail was such a nice option, too. The patio was perfect for the nice weather we've been having. Our waitress was sweet and helpful. Enjoyed our time here and definitely will be back!
