I went back and forth before settling on a three star review; however, the kicker was three out of…read morefour dinners being disappointing. I had seen positive things about this restaurant on Facebook, going in my expectations were high. The end result was expectations not being met. I phoned ahead and was able to make a reservation. When my group pulled into the parking lot at 5PM, it wasn't full. This is generally not a good sign for a Saturday night. When we entered, it looked old school (big bar, televisions and a pool table). I generally see this as a positive indicator. The drinks we received were well made and the bartender was a nice guy. He gave us menus and we were waited on in the bar area. Both waitresses we were served by were very neutral in having us as guests. No extra chit chat. After ordering, we were directed to our table and were told we could go to the salad bar. I was looking forward to the salad bar as other social media raved about it. It was nice and all the items were fresh; however, it wasn't very big. The soup, available on the salad bar, was very good. The homemade dinner rolls were also good. The main meal is where things went backwards. One dining partner had a scallops and ribeye combo. When it was delivered to the table, the scallops looked pathetically small and the steak looked paper thin. Unfortunately, my impression of it being bad was what my dining partner experienced. They described the scallops of having a fish stick taste. They were disappointed in the meal. Another dining partner had the beef tip special. It was well prepared and was quite a large portion. It was an enjoyable meal. As luck would have it, myself and another dining partner both ordered the Triple O ribeye, a 16 oz cut covered with mushrooms, onions and peppers. We each ordered the garlic mashed potatoes. When it was delivered to our table it looked good. Sadly, while tasting good the potatoes weren't very warm. Having to move the topping to find the steak, I found my first piece a little difficult to cut, but prepared to order. After a few bites and after the final waitress appearance, I told my dining partner that I did not think my steak was a ribeye. They said they were thinking the same thing. Although generous in size, it appeared to be sirloin steak and while well-prepared, lacking flavor. Having eaten a good chunk, I decided not to make an issue but found the steak disappointing. If you look at my other reviews, I think you find them to be pretty generous. After contemplating this for a couple of days, I'd say people may want to try another restaurant when looking for a quality supper club experience.

My dad's special bacon wrapped venison tenderloin dish was to die for - so unique and a melt in your mouth experience. He said the bacon was alright. Our server Andrew was really helpful. He assured me of what was gluten-free since it isn't marked on the menu. And he taught us about how the venison is cooked. Just a really good experience overall. The place is dark inside so with the fireplace it really screams cozy for a winter destination. There is outside seating though too which is great for summer time. I would definitely return!

Sure you can enjoy a drink at the bar before dinner but that's about where the supper club experience ends. Take a look at the online menu before visiting because the prices are crazy. I think scallops and a small steak were in the $75+ range. The staff was friendly and attentive but unfortunately it didn't make up for this not being a traditional Wisconsin supper club experience. Where's the salad bar?? We both had the Haddock special that was $23 a plate. The fish was watery beneath the breading, no thanks. My salad and the rolls were quite nice. We both agreed we won't be coming again as there are much better places in the area for fish.

This fish was fried, and forgotten about for an hour. By the time we got our plates, they were cold and soggy. The saddest fish fry in the north :( Part of the problem was the bartender/server couldn't be bothered. She was super busy playing dice with her regulars. When it's just one person in the kitchen and one person in front, it helps if at least one of them is playing with a full deck.

What to expect went coming to johns you will not get a seat right away you most likely (on Friday for sure) will wait an hour or more. You grab a number wait till your called order and then they will seat you. You can also expect food that is top notch every time with out question. This trip to the corner bar landed us on a Saturday night prime rib special. The whole family came this time. My dad and I ordered prime rib sandwich ( my only complaint) it's cheap in price and your get what you pay for by getting 1/8 inch thick cut on this. I would gladly have paid 12-15 dollars for a good amount of meat. The wife got broasted chicken and she loved it. My sister ordered the queen cut prime rib and as you can see not like most prime ribs where you get a good portion of fat on it this one did not have much fat and you can come to expect that from johns. Her boyfriend ordered the sirloin which definitely looked like a great cut of meat! My dads wife ordered deep fried shrimp and scallops and the scallops melted in your mouth. Do not shy away from the wait here, like all good things, quality takes time! There's a wait because it's worth it. If you're one to complain about a wait this is not the place for you!

Overall, this lesser known supper club, looking like someone's home is worthy of a visit. When we pulled in, the parking lot was packed; however, there was hardly anyone in the restaurant. Turns out they have a bar, just past the restaurant, that was hopping (we didn't check it out). Inside the restaurant, we were warmly greeted by our bartender and had a seat at the bar with friends. The establishment isn't huge, it also isn't fancy. It looks a little bit more like a bar with a dining room. That said, I don't go to a restaurant to see how it looks. If you want fancy, this won't match your requirement. Our bartender was friendly and knowledgeable. Our server could also be described with the same terminology. As it wasn't very busy, both were attentive to our needs throughout our visit. After drinks, we ordered and then found our table in the dining room. We then tried out the salad bar. I have to say it was well stocked and fresh. There was one soup available. It was well composed but lacked some flavor. I bring up the soup because the flavor was my general issue with our food. Well prepared but somewhat bland. I had a full rack of ribs. They were generous in size and fell off the bone, but they seemed simply baked. They needed to be smoked and seasoned. Sweet Baby Ray's also is kind of disappointing at a supper club. Three out of four of us had ribs. Our dining partners didn't say anything about the ribs, good or bad. Our other dining partners had Chicken Monterey. It was also generous in size and according to our dining partner was very good. Also, my dining partner and I were underwhelmed by the house loaded potato cakes. Aside from needing to be hotter, they needed a bit more flavor. In the end, the restaurant did a pretty solid job at a reasonable price. Would I still go there versus another "more well known" supper club in the area? Yes, certainly it is worth another visit.
