“ Love the atmosphere, the bar set up is great; there’s a bar top inside and outside. I’ve always received great service and I love that they are always updating their drink menu with new, delicious drink ideas. Try the Crab Rangoon dip, it’s chef’s kiss . ”
“ We went with a group of 12 on Friday evening (we did have a reservation). Our waitress was amazing and attentive with an absolutely packed restaurant. We ordered our drinks and they were brought out promptly. Our food came out very quickly, hot, and every order was correct. Everything tasted amazing. We will definitely be going back! Also the holiday decor is great if you are looking for a fun festive place to enjoy the season! ”

“ 1st time here and we had a blast. Pretty packed right at 5:00 on a Friday, but it cleared out after and hour or so. Nice patio space that opens up beside the bat. We ordered the Mexican rarebit burger and the Nashville hot chicken sandwich. Both were great but not amazing. The top bun on the rarebit was entirely covered in a quest so you eat it with a knife and fork...which isn't practical because the meat is more of a loose meat...very odd. We won't get that again. The Chicken on the sandwiches are like tenderloin sized but there is a ton of crispy breading...which is yummy..but a little overkill on the amount of breading. I'd get the Nashville hot again though. Service was great. There were out of a lot of beers on tap...which was a bummer. Specialty cocktail prices aren't listed on the menu but they are only 9. At least the old fashioned was. The bathroom is unique in the the sinks are share between the mens/womens...which I didn't mind but it might throw you off. We'll be back. ”
“ Great casual place to go for great tasting food. Went on a Monday afternoon. Not overly busy. We sat at the bar. Service was fantastic. She was great and gave us excellent recommendations. We had beer on tap and wine with our meals. Empty plates were always quickly picked up. They have a patio, not yet open, tho. They have Thursday live music. ”
“ The Crab Rangoon dip was awesome! The cheese curds were great, and then I had the Nashville hot chicken sandwich which was excellent! Others had the chicken sandwich, mushroom Swiss burger, chicken fingers, mac and cheese... everything great. Service from Madisyn was awesome! ”
“ I had an amazing time at Merrl’s last weekend, and I can’t wait to go back! The appetizers were a total highlight—each one was bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. I’m still dreaming about their cheese curds and the crab rangoon dip we started with. Now, let’s talk about the pizza—wow, it’s fantastic! The crust was just the right mix of crispy and chewy, and the toppings were so fresh. We got the Midwest’s finest and a pepperoni, and both were absolute crowd-pleasers. Every bite was pure joy. What really made the night special, though, was our server, Stephanie. She was incredibly attentive, checking in just enough to make sure we had everything we needed without ever being intrusive. Her kindness and warm energy made us feel so welcome, like we were regulars. She even recommended a few menu items that ended up being our favorites! Merrl’s is great! great food, awesome drinks, and top-notch service thanks to folks like Stephanie. Highly recommend! ”
