Red Eye Brewing Company - Wausau, Wisconsin

Jeff I.

Long but complete review. Keep reading!

What to know: The Redeye Brewing Company in Wausau is the definition of "artisan". It is an enjoyable experience to visit. Best to have cash on hand to pay the bill as it will save you from paying an additional 3% for processing (not a problem, but worth knowing).

Beer: The beer selection is wonderful. Every one I have tried has been smooth and tasty and genuinely small batch brewed. Selections change so recommending one doesn't make sense.

Food: 11/10! Everything is made in house by a staff who not only cares how the flavors come together but also the presentation. There is also an additional menu of specialty items made fresh and in house that will leave you speechless.

Staff: Knowledgeable, friendly, courteous, and generally the kind of wonderful people you'd want to spend time talking with, if they weren't working so hard already. Be sure to ask your server what their favorite things are, especially if you're having a hard time choosing. Guaranteed excellent recommendations as they each have something they love.

Atmosphere: Warm, clean and eclectic, but not quirky.

Recommended: The Forager pizza (phenomenal!), the One Love Bread Pretzel (beer cheese dip!), Carrot Cake (cream cheese frosting!), and the Black and White Brownie (not always available, but soon worth it!).

Delicious burgers and awesome selection of beers. Location is pretty easy to find and had a very clean interior with bicycle decorations. The kitchen is in view of most seats and the atmosphere is pleasant. We received great customer service and fast (and accurate) delivered food. Prices are reasonable and the salad is delicious as well (I recommend the greens over the chips or fries).

A Must stop for food. This is a great restaurant/brewpub! I got an AMAZING Blat (BLT). Wife had a stupendous Red eye signature salad mom wasn't too hungry she ordered the side of super tasty shrimp an I topped my Blat off with the upgrade of what turned out to be fantastic signature parmesan loaded tater tots, WOW! Great ambiance, Don't miss this place. 👍

Had the loveliest opportunity to come here with the family, and to try Red Eye's beer, small plates, shareables, and dessert. And I was far from disappointed by each one.

Even the harder-to-please critics in the family enjoyed themselves, and I'm thankful to the restaurant staff for facilitating a fond reunion there.

Am I a little biased because I was surrounded by people I love while I was here? Probably, but it may just as well have been the fateful combination of some bomb dot com wings and the "loaded potato" ascending me to some fatty American euphoria. Who knows. I'll be back.

From the minute we walked in to leaving, everything was excellent! Definitely worth the wait. We had the short rib - which was to DIE for and a margarita pizza which was also good but definitely not the Michelin Star beef short rib we had. Huge compliment to the chef! Our server was also amazing! Wish I got his name but he was very attentive and amazing. He knew when to come around and you can tell when someone loves their job. Overall a very pleasant experience and I have never seen my husband speechless after a bite of food and they have mastered that! I would highly recommend anybody to come here.

I've eaten here a few times. Recently, I came back in for lunch with a friend. We got there just as it opened, so we did not have to wait for a table. I'm not sure how busy it is for lunch during the week. My burger was amazing. The food is always amazing; however, I wish there was more of it for the price! I find the prices a little steep for my taste. Despite, I will be back!

Great food! Fun atmosphere, lively with a good sound level, not too hard to hear. They also had a ton of vegetarian options. We got: the pretzel (mustard and dipping cheese were good. Good like take home don’t throw away food); the tartartine tater tots, Korean fried chicken, formaggio, beeted Reuben. We wish we had saved room for dessert. They looked Gooood. They had four dessert options and plenty of drinks and other options too.

We stopped for the beer and stayed for cocktails and the food, which were exceptional! We thoroughly enjoyed the mushroom tartine, redeye wings, and grilled shrimp skewers, so much so that we stayed for dessert, too! Oh, and I also picked up a cute hat!
