From the kitchen
Burgers, pizza, and chicken sandwiches
Jam on a burger? Yup. Pineapple on pizza? Only if you also add in some sweet chili sauce as the base. A chicken sandwich with dill pickles, home made street corn sauce, and honeybutter? Sounds weird enough for us! We also have a plain burger on the menu, but you would be doing yourself a disservice if that is what you come here to order.
A toasted brioche bun, quarter-pound seasoned patty, Swiss cheese, goat cheese crumbles, blackberry jam, bacon, and caramelized onions. Our top selling burger. Your new favorite.
Blackberry Bam-A-Lam Burger
Honey butter on a toasted oversized brioche bun, house-made Chihuahua street-corn sauce, pepper jack cheese, thick bacon, and pickle chips on a jumbo fried chicken breast.
Krazy Chicken
We build this one starting with our beer crust, sweet chili sauce base, house pizza cheese blend, grilled chicken, caramelized onion, and large juicy chunks of pineapple. This is the pizza you have been waiting for.

Bringing people together
Nights out, from a pint to a show
When you come to Presidential, you are going to have a great time. It’s what we do. We build nights where a bad putt gets a cheer, a show gets strangers singing, and you leave with a friend you did not walk in with.
Did you get a great photo during your visit? We would love to feature it here! Send it our way and you might end up on the board.

How’d Presidential treat you the other night?
Probably some of the best food we've ever had. Everything came out fast, hot and fresh. Pretzel and beer cheese was excellent, Burger was phenomenal, but the pepperoni pizza was the star of the show. 10/10 experience. Cant wait to come back!

Came here with some friends and had a great time. They made me a lovely Caesar salad here and I found the cheese curds to be delectable. The beer was also great. They had a cream ale that was stellar. I also enjoyed the decor, particularly the Richard Nixon display they had, which was just fun. 5/5.

This is a great place to try different beers. My husband enjoyed the 2 that he tried. Strong hops flavor (not overwhelming) but delicious. We had 2 burgers and they were excellent. I asked mine well done, but it was well done to perfection, not dried, but still juicy and tasty. They have live music and outside seating (I looked at their flyer).
