Cracker Jax Bar & Grill

"Home of the Half Pound Burger"

About Us

Welcome to Cracker Jax Bar & Grill, a vibrant hometown gathering place proudly serving Wonewoc, WI and the surrounding communities since 2024. What began as a local favorite watering hole has grown into a lively destination known for hearty comfort food, a welcoming atmosphere, and a spirit rooted deeply in community pride.

At Cracker Jax, we’ve built our menu around the classics—juicy ½-pound burgers, crispy fries, golden chicken tenders, irresistible onion rings, and our fan-favorite deep-fried green beans. Every burger is topped with cheese sourced directly from our local plant in Hillsborough, WI, lovingly known as “The Cheese Store,” giving every meal a true taste of home. Pair it all with a drink from our full bar, enjoy daily specials, and soak in the energy of our DJs and entertainment that bring life to every night.

Cracker Jax is more than a bar—it’s a dream realized. As someone who grew up right here in the Wonewoc area and works at the local foundry, I never imagined the opportunity to own this place would fall into my hands. But when it did, I knew it was a chance to give back to the community that shaped me. Along with my involvement as an EMS ambulance volunteer, owning Cracker Jax allows me to serve my neighbors in another meaningful way—by creating a place where people can relax, connect, celebrate, and feel at home.

Every day, we work to make our community a little stronger, one good meal and one good moment at a time.
Welcome to Cracker Jax Bar & Grill—where great food, great company, and great memories come together.
