"We overnighted in Wausau on our way from South Dakota to Marquette Michigan and ate at Back When on a recommendation from the person at the motel front desk. We were glad that we did. The service was a bit slow, but the server was more then competent and we enjoyed the fact that he was a bit of a ..."character. We were not especially hungry so didn't go for one of the many fine meat, fish or poultry dinners. My wife had meatballs and pasta. The meatballs are large, firm and flavorful.

"We had dinner and drinks several times throughout the weekend. The food was very good and the drinks quite yummy!! Staff was always friendly and smiling!"
"Happened upon this gem of a restaurant on a lovely warm early summer evening when in Wausau for business. It had available outdoor seating on a darling flower lined patio, which sold us. Many great choices on the menu and settled on the Greek pasta with jumbo shrimp and jumbo they were indeed! Had n..."ot had such true jumbo shrimp since a trip to Mazatlan in 1997. The starter cheese spread, gourmet crackers, and grapes were a nice appetizer paired with a mellow Argentinian cabernet. The organic greens with raspberry vinagrette and blue cheese was very tasty. For dessert coffee ice cream topped with Bailey's was a nice way to end the wonderful meal!
