Hadn't been there recently so we stopped in for lunch after the UW Womens' BB game. Had a great Echo Loco Burger. Melt-In-Your-Mouth good. Also had the chili. Wife had a good cheeseburger and my daughter a Build Your Own cheese and pineapple pizza. And our server, Kyra, was EXCELLENT!!

This place rocks. Honestly I love this bar. The food rocks, especially the cheese curds. They have an awesome selection of beers on tap. And the service is always so friendly. The girl who serves upstairs during trivia rocks. Speaking of which they have an awesome trivia program every Thursday that is always so popping, typically have to get there by 6:30 to get a table and by 6:45 they are turning people away because it’s packed. Probably even busier during the school year. Echo tap rocks.

Great food. Great service. Other than the incessant horn sound of some equipment nearby the patio was a phenomenal setting.

Service was amaze. We popped in mid afternoon on a Sunday for food and left absolutely delighted. Our server who was the only front of house working took GREAT care of us while also bartending and serving the outdoor section. Food was really good, and our group ranging from 6 years old to 75 years old left happy. Thanks!!

First time visit. Service and food was excellent!! I had the Echo Burger which was super good. One hamburger patty and one brat patty plus two cheeses and other toppings. Can't say enough about the burger except plan on taking some home especially if you try the awesome appetizers they have. My son and I will definitely be back!

NYD 2025, not too many places open, but very happy that echo had the lights on. I truly think even if it was a regular day, this place shined. Service was great, a few folks sitting at the bar made for some good energy. Good choice of draft and bottled beer. We went with the Wisconsin go to spotted cow. We will most definitely be back.
