It was fun to have dinner in an old historic building such as the freight house. I was shocked how crowded the restaurant was on a Tuesday night. Service was good. I had the Prime Rib which was excellent, although the portion was enough to feed a small family! For sure larger than the advertised 12 ounces. Wine list was... More

This really was the freight building on the railroad in old LaCrossek but today and five years ago when we were there last, it is a highlight of the downtown dining scene. Huge portions, good service, quality food.

Have dined here many times in the past but stopped when they continued to allow smoking in the lounge when most other nice restaurants had stopped. No smoking is no longer an option so we went back for their new special of $3 burgers and $3 house wine. When you order a glass of wine in most places you get... More

The Freight House is the type of restaurant you like to discover when travelling - the atmosphere is unique, the building is extremely interesting in it's design and history, and the service is top-notch. On top of that, they had great food - the food was excellent, and served promptly. A good selection of beers/drinks also was available, and all... More

The Freight House is one of my favorite restaurants and has been for years. The salad bar is wonderful and the loaded baked potato is a must. My husband had a steak, which he deemed very good. I always have the half order of king crab legs, which are to die for. I have never found another restaurant that does... More

We have eaten here over 200 times in the last 30 years, food is always good, service always prompt and the atmospere is casual with a elegant feel. Pricing is a bit high, but based on our repeart visits, it must be worth it!

I think it is wonderfully delicious! The food is yummy. Kind of expensive but still very fancy. You have wonderful waiters and waitresses. You feel like you are in an old lighthouse.
