Great food and atmosphere. It was hopping last night. They have plenty of staff so you don’t sit and wait. The food, from kids to adults was excellent. Make sure to get the desserts too.

LP-No matter when I visit 1855, it is fantastic. They do not skimp on good help, that’s for sure.It is very organized and well presented. It is about time there was some class added to the town.
Keep up the good work. Your salads are amazing!

Love this place always have a great time and great food. Be prepared to wait on weekends because the place does tend to get packed. Shimp with pasta is really good

My daughter took us 12/17/09. The food overall was very good, steaks tender and flavorfull. My side of pasta in garlic cream sauce was awful, cooked noodles with a thin sauce poured over it. Our waiter was waiting on tables in our section and in the back section of the “saloon”. We had to ask for refills, and they didnt come in a timely fashion. We also weren’t appreciative of the sections proximity to the bar and big screen tv. Very noisy, not a place to go to converse or with a date. All in all i was pretty disappointed, i might go back to sample the pizza during lunch hours, but never for supper. Thumbs way down.

Live in Madison and frequent offten the place is getting better and better each time. New place and more and more kinks getting worked out each time. Food is awsome with huge portions get ready to eat a lot. Parking seems to be a problem on a busy night. Also the wait can be super long. I would recommend

Live in Cottage Grove and was excited to see a new restaurant. Quite the contrary though as this place is a total disappointment. The food is fairly good but not always hot. The service on the other hand, as stated in many other reviews is awful. Have often waited for longer than stated periods of time. Have had half of the party’s food deliverd while the other half waited 15 minutes. Do not plan on returning and would not recommend to any new interested diners!

We had reservations for a 50th wedding ann. for the private room on 8-17-2008. Called on 8-6-2008 to confirm the reservations. Were told the room has been booked to someone else. Were offered to have our group in the public part of the restaurant. NO THANKS. Poor management!!!

We have visited the saloon 1855 in search of a new Friday fish fry and the food is fabulous! The fish is a good price and everything tastes so good!

We live really close to 1855–have gone there lots. Now, at first we thought it was pretty great—but!! now the food is not the greatest and we went there just this last night–Guess what!! NEW MENU!! HIGHER Prices!! Now, the “fall off the bone” ribs
sure didn’t fall off, rather tough, and my husband had the steak which used to be really good–besides uping the price I think about $4 –not like it was when they opened the place up. Way to go guys!! I HAVE had their pizzas and like them and the Reuben sandwich is great.The manager that we have gotten to know “Owen” is the greatest!! Not downing the whole place, as we will go there, but not too happy they already have upped the prices.

Service here is awful — you will get friendlier service at McDonalds! From the hostess to the wait staff – it is all around bad. Really need some customer service training.
