Arbuckles Eatery & Pub

Ordered a blackjack burger to go. Got home and burger had no bacon. Called restaurant and they offered the 3 strips of bacon if I drive the 8 miles to pickup or they could send me a GC for $ 2 (Price of Bacon).
Not great customer service

Once again, Arbuckle’s impresses. This service was exceptional and the food was spot on. Took my folks there and it appealed to their picky palette. We stuck with normal pub fare and everyone cleaned their plates. As I said the service was amazing. Pleasant, quick and attentive. Would recommend to anyone visiting the area!

Cheese fries taste like cafeteria food. I don’t get it.
In general they charge extra for everything and the general décor and food is mediocre and cheap. Not bad, but nothing at all special

Carry out pizza is usually ready in 15 – 20 minutes. We ordered a small and this was enough for two people unless you have a huge appetite then you would probably need a large. If you get there early you can have a beer while you wait!

The Husband and I stopped here while holiday shopping downtown. All of his co-​workers raved about the cheese fries. The waitress seated us right away. She took our order and said it would take 15 minutes. She didn’t offer to bring us anything to drink. We had to flag her down to get a glass of water. When the fries got to our table, I was waiting with a bottle of Spotted Cow. My first bite, the melted cheese stretched ever so far. I was disappointed that it was on the salty side. I drowned it in marinara sauce and that’s how I was able to tackle it. I preferred Portesi’s. The menu didn’t interest me; they offered hamburgers, pizza, and simple appetizers but it won’t stop me from visiting when I’m in the mood to chillax after a rough day at work or shopping.

We try to stop here every time we come to Point. Need our Italian Fries with Cheese fix. Order an extra sauce. Took mom with us. She enjoyed the hot beef. She said the bread was nice and crunchy but the meat and au jus could have been a little warmer. Service was excellent. She brought refills on our sodas and waters and lids for our carry out sauces without asking.

Italian fries are amazing! I would eat them every day if it was possible. Have never had a bad experience here. The waitstaff is knowledgeable and the atmosphere is fun. Try the outside seating in the summer, it’s wonderful.

A couple of buddies and I needed a beer or two and wanted an outdoor beer garden/​patio/​deck; we remembered Arbuckle’s. For a town with a big river and a perfect four-​season climate, Stevens Point is woefully short of good outdoor eateries, but Arbuckle’s helps fill the void. Good selection of local and other brews — we all started with a tap wheat beer from the Great Dane — and a «beer marathon» promotion that we immediately committed to finish. Not sure what we’ll eventually get, but we’re happy to try to figure it out.
We weren’t there to eat, but the three of us split an order of onion rings and a small pesto pizza, which Arbuckle’s happily redid with spinach at our requested (for broccoli — what’s up with that?). We needed a vegetarian option for sharing and the pizza fit nicely. The talk kept me from paying much attention to the food, but I liked the pizza and loved the outdoor environment and beer selection. My second trip to Arbuckle’s in six years here, but I remember a decent experience before and will be going back more often to enjoy the patio and an occasional indoor meal. A fine local establishment.

Arbuckles is ‘simply good.’ Dining is casual, family friendly and clean. In the summer, you can dine in their outside courtyard. I took the family for their friday night fish. It includes three pieces of cod, coleslaw, and potato (baked or fries). Not only was everyone satisfied, but one of the group declared it the ‘best in Stevens Point’ and another declared it ‘the best fish fry they’ve ever had’. As an appetizer, we highly recommend their italian cheese fries. Cheese fries (pizza dough with cheese and marinara dipping sauce) are a big deal in central WI and Arbuckles are among the best you’ll find in Stevens Point. Nachos aren’t anything special.

Not a bad little place at all. The atmosphere is great and the staff likes to tell you stories if you ask them, or if you want to be left alone, they are very accommodating. The place is decorated very well and is just a «fun» place to dine.
If it is your first time dining at arbuckles you HAVE to get the pizza fries. In a town (as well as the whole darn state) in which evvvvvery place has some form of cheese fries, they make some of the best. They aren’t thick and doughy, they aren’t thin and cheese-​less, they do it just right. And for the record, a half order will feed two.
I ordered The Jack Burger and I was satisfied with the amount of bacon AND the fact that it was crispy. Lots of places have a tendency to skimp on the bacon and make it too chewy and soggy. This annoys the living daylights out of me because when you bite into the burger you pull the bacon out with every bite because it isn’t crispy! BUT this wasn’t the case at all. I like my burger done medium, and they cooked it perfectly. If you want it a little pinker, I’m pretty sure that could be accomplished. The bun was also toasted to perfection. An overly soft bun makes me think that I’m eating a Sammich and not a burger. An overly toasted bun makes me think that I’m eating toast (which makes me feel like I’m eating breakfast). The burger also had a slight flame broiled taste, which was interestingly tasty! This burger alone gets 4.5 out 5 stars.
They have a marathon of beers club! You get a punch card with 26 different beers, once a card is completed you get a free shirt. For every card you complete you get a different reward. It’s kind of a cool way to keep you coming back every once and a while. We suggested to the bartender that they do a pirate themed card and use different rum drinks and call it the «arrrrrbuckles pirate’s rum captain’s wheel.» She just laughed, but the group liked the idea. You can only consume 5 beers on the card per day, that way they aren’t emphasizing and supporting binge drinking.
Expect more reviews on Arbuckles with different foods, I feel that I’ve found a little downtown treasure.
