    Went here on 4/13/24 Went here with a friend for lunch. Now that the days are getting warmer- they have outdoor seating. Inside is welcoming. Very clean. Laid out nicely. Many options in the menu besides burgers. We both ordered bacon Cheeseburgers. They offer up 2 choices of fries. The burgers were huge. Fresh and made to perfection. Everything was perfect. The person who waited on us did a great job for us. Rough us out beverages right away and the food came up pretty fast even tho the place was pretty busy. I met the owner. Very nice lady. This is a privately owned establishment. Love supporting local places. There is more than one of these places. I think she said there are two others? But they are all privately owned. Great place to take your family, friends or kids to. They have plenty of tv's if u want to watch a game. They also have music videos playing in some of the tv's. Great atmosphere. Very well maintained/clean. Until the next review, Steve-O, out!

    This bar has a LOT of top shelf liquors. Impressed.

    1/15/22 - 2:30 PM First time here, and it's a a very nice place. Slots in the back, and awesome album wallpaper! The menu is vast with burgers, pizzas, Mac & cheese, wings, etc. Had a gin & tonic and the bartender did everything right. Ordered at 2:40, received food at 2:53. Hot food, right from the kitchen, love it! 3 drinks + food : $32.54 Pros: Attentive service Vegetarian options (Beyond burger, salads, etc) Full bar with multiple beer options Large TV's at multiple locations Macaroni is freshly made to order (confirmed by chef). Mac & Cheese is good, better than most places I can name but won't. IF you play the slots, the bar will give you $5 to start!? Cons: Bacon in Mac was either over cooked or reheated: dry like jerky Nitpicks: --------

    Boneless wings, Thai chili, Makers Mark BBQ.

    Aaron was our server and he was great! Very attentive. We had the boneless wing. Great sauce and nice big bites. We each had a burger. Both burgers were cooked to our spec. Oh and the $7 double talk's went down very easy. Good selection of both food and drinks.

    Hayley is an awesome server. Here's my slider Bloody Mary!   Mmmmm

    Awesome Bloody Mary. Also the prime rib wrap was very tasty. My daughter had chicken Parmesan sandwich and loved it.

    Went here with the wife for a quick lunch date. We saw the some pictures of the food and thought wow looks really good. We got seated right away server came fairly quick to give us menus but that's where the quick serviced stopped. Waited quite a while to order in a not too busy place. We got cheese curds as appetizers we saw them sitting waited to be served for a good amount of time. Then when it came to our meals I guess cleaning up tables and gathering a bill that the customers already left was more important than hot food. By the time our food came my fries were cold the wrap was warm not hot. The wife's burger came with out onions and with lettuce we asked for the opposite we returned it the server just added raw onion, it was supposed to come with onion tanglers main reason she ordered it. So we sent it back again. Then of course waiting for the bill took for ever because our server must be expecting a huge rush at 2pm on a Friday bc she had to make sure every table clean or dirty was wiped down. Then we got our bill. Will not be going back food was mediocre at best service was poor

    Rude service that starts with the leadership. It's not what it used to be with new ownership.

We tried a cranberry and apple salad with scallops. The scallops were the best part. The beer list was more interesting than the wine list, but they did have several wines available by the glass. 4/5 Service: Both the bartender and Andrea our server were very attentive 4.5/5 Ambience: huge parking lot surrounding the restaurant. There was apparently a birthday party for a six-year-old with some very wild children running about. Once they left, the place was much more pleasant. 3.5/5

As mentioned by other…read morereviewers, it can get crowded and reservations are definitely a better idea then chancing a walk-in. All of the servers that we have ever had here have been really, really nice as well as well informed as to the menu. The lasagna here is PHENOMENAL!! My wife and I usually order different dishes so that we can try new things, but here we always both order the lasagna. A typical night for us looks like an order of the bruschetta as an app, two lasagna entrees...and maybe a few vodka sodas and captain and diets to wash things down :) I have also tried the pizza a few times, and it is good...but the heart in my stomach is in love with the lasagna.

    Awesome experience! My wife and I visited on a Wednesday for her birthday. We were warmly greated…read moreand seated immediately (we were a little early for our reservation). It's a pretty dark, steakhouse, vibe inside with old school Frank Sinatra-esque music in the background. The service level here was perfect, I love a place where the staff plays zone and if someone notices something then they cover it seamlessly. Nick was our server and took great care of us. we tried the following: Drinks - I had a dirty gin martini and my wife had a captain and diet (her go to) and both were perfectly mixed. Appetizers - We were really looking forward to the buratta appetizer, but it had just gone off menu, so we went with the goat cheese that replaced it, which was good (but I would cut down the number of sun-dried tomatoes by 1/3). My wife ordered the onion soup and really enjoyed it. Mains - My wife had the filet and said it was the best she has had in a long while. I am a sucker for lamb and wasn't feeling like a steak, so that is what I went with. Both were amazing and we both had mashed potatoes. Mine also came with carrots with a demi-glaze. Everything was delicious. Dessert - The restaurant was kind enough to serve my wife a complimentary dessert for her birthday. It was amazing, but we were so full we could only manage a few bites. Will definitely be back!!

    Pros: -Huge menu…read more-Good, consistent food -Servers have always been nice -Quick seating when not a special day (Mother's/Father's Day/etc.) Cons: -Crowded on special days There are a few things on this menu that have never let me down (knock on wood) and they are: Turkey Avocado BLT - the homemade focaccia hoagie brings this home in a big way! Great Morning Wrap - always has the right ratio of ingredients so you get a little of everything in each bite. PRO TIP: ask for an extra side of the chipotle mayo. Other things that we have tried and enjoyed: Chicken Dumpling Soup -- always recommended by those who have tried it. Steak and Eggs - good portion for the price and well seasoned. Eggs Benedict - really rich hollandaise sauce, and the fresh arugala balances well against that richness. This is one of my wife's favs. Biscuits & Gravy - this definitely ranges, better sometimes vs. others,but that range is great (4.5*) to good (3.5*). It just depends on the day that you go I have probably eaten at Maxim's 12-15 times and have never had an unsatisfying experience. I am sure that they will treat you right too!

We ordered a few different things for lunch. The French onion soup was very salty, but the brisket sandwich that they had on the menu was amazing. The brisket was like butter. I had a large Cobb salad, which some of the things in it tasted very chemical like. The lettuce and the cucumbers, especially had some strange chemical taste. Slightly acidic. I can't put my finger on it. I would not recommend. All in all, if you're looking for a place for brunch while you're in Oconomowoc, you might wanna stop in here just for an experience once. I don't know that we will be back, but you never know. I will say there is a large variety across three menus. So somebody should be able to find something that they like.

The place is veteran owned and has a military flare to the decor. For our area, this is welcome and we have nothing like it. They also frequently have live music, and I do love me some live music. The service has been great both time I was there. I sat at the bar the first time and a table the second...just to make sure the service was great in both locations! Of course bar service is always faster because you are right in front of them, but I will say I did not have to wait at any point to sit, order, or pay. They were friendly and genuinely wanted to make sure everything tasted as good as it looked. When I go to places that run specials I am voted less likely to order off the menu and I have stuck with that philosophy with SteelTank. The first time I had a steak and shrimp pasta. It was so good I could not stop eating it. I ate nearly all of it and had zero regrets, but I was happy I had a few bites left to enjoy the next day. Second stop, Sausage & Pepperoni stuffed Bavarian pretzel. This pizza of the week is delicious! The pretzel is cut in half and stuffed and not hollowed out as most places do. You can see from the pictures it is stuffed and you can taste the pizza. Greens with a pizza you say? YES! So good, the vinaigrette dressing that is on that pretty little salad is making my mouth water as I type! Specials were not mentioned either time I went. The specials are posted on Facebook and that is how I knew about SteelTank and what I should order. That would be my only complaint, when you receive a menu patrons should be told what the specials are - or - post it somewhere so people know.
