Not impressed with Beef-A-Roo. We tried a couple of different sandwiches, hamburger & mahi. The burger was what is expected from a fast food joint, and the mahi, although good size, did not have a flavor. Myself, I think Steak n Shake has better burgers, and is a better value.
Fish still remains elusive here.
We wasn't that impressed either. I will say we loved the cheese curds!
I had a chicken sandwich and small fries. The small was really small, it was maybe 8 French fries and they seemed pretty old and stale. The chicken sandwich was more like what I'd expect from a vending machine than a restaurant. In fact if you told me they'd just gone down to Walmart and bought out their pre-made chicken Sammies I'd be unable to shoot that theory down. I don't see them lasting long.
“Hey you know what’s a great idea? Name a restaurant BEEF-A-ROO!” - some idiot in Illinois.
I think I’ll reserve judgment until they’ve been open for a month or so and have everything figured out
Between Huey Magoo's and Beef-a-Roo is starting to sound like toddler lunch time around here. Nonetheless, I look forward to at least trying both.
My favorite fish dishes in town are Blackfish at Cafe Cusco and fish n chips at Brewco.
i got the blackened mahi mahi after getting the plain one. it was a lit better and more flavorful.
Damn you all actually went to Beef-A-Roo huh
My first thought was wow that name is stupid
But my uncle wants to go so I think we’re going to try it. I think their original menu item was roast beef sandwiches so I’ll probably get one of those
Cheese curds are probably pretty hard to mess up. Think they’re better than Culvers’?
It's been awhile since I've had Culver's. Probably about the same.
Seemed a bit overpriced for what you get. Burger quality is on par with Culver's.
"Beef-A-Roo" just means a lot of farts, right? Kind of like "Beefapalooza."
That's one way to create a "Beef-A-Roo" a few hours later.
I had beef a roo last night and the burger was burnt. I'll try again when they've ironed out training etc. Fries were meh.
Freddie’s has better curds than Culvers

The fish and chips at Hemingways is awesome.
