    Riverside patio
    Susan D.

    Nice atmosphere, live music on the riverside patio. They weren't that busy, and it appeared several tables were being served dinner long after we had arrived. We waited an hour and when inquired, we were told it would be another 20 minutes; that it didn't come out correctly the first time. No offer to comp a drink or an appetizer. We decided not to wait; paid for our drinks and went elsewhere.

    View from our table that's just inside. Indoor/ outdoor seating creates the perfect temperature!

    I've been excited to try this during my last few trips to Oshkosh. I'm up here quite often to stay with my boyfriend and I love trying local places and supporting small businesses. We went at around 5:30 yesterday. Overall the service was good, but it did take about 15 minutes to have a server come to the table. Which wouldn't have bothered me as much if we couldn't see them standing together talking and eating before tendind to their tables. The atmosphere is nice and I like the indoor outdoor seating option. The menu is full of delicious options of your traditional tavern favorites. Burgers, sandwiches etc. I tried the Bam Bam curd burger and tavern chips. The chips are sliced potatoes, sweet potatoes and beets. I do wish there were more beet chips in the mix. The larger chips weren't as crispy as I'd hoped. The burger has their Bam Bam sauce which is also featured in a shrimp appetizer. It also has cheese curds and melty cheese. I was hoping the sauce would have more of a kick but it was still good. The burger was good but I wish it had a thicker patty. My boyfriend got the Mango Habanero Burger and was also wasn't a fan of the sauce element as it made the bun too soggy. I would go back to try other things because I always give a place a second chance. Didn't grab as many pictures this time. But there are still a couple

    Outdoor patio bar on the fox river is great. Full selection of cocktails and good selection of tap beers including Oshkosh brews.

    My fiance and I have been to a lot of restaurants in the fox valley, this was the worst restaurant…read morewe have been to by no small margin. The only good thing about it is that we were seated fast and the staff was attentive and friendly. We got water at the start of our visit, which water shouldn't have a taste, no? Our water tasted like battery acid. It was bitter beyond belief, absolutely foul. We asked for bottled water, they didn't have it. We ended up getting wine and an old fashioned. My wine was good, my fiances old fashioned wasn't anything to write home about. We only got an appetizer platter because we were scared to order food based on how the water tasted. Everything was lacking seasoning, lacking SALT. The steak bites were rock hard, it hurt to chew. The only edible thing that we ordered which was the shrimp cocktail. I don't know how this place is rated so high, it may have been good back in the day, however my experience here was abysmal. I won't be returning.

    I'm a fan of The Roxy. Have been for breakfast and lunch.breakfast is where they really shine…read more Sundays, they do breakfast from 8-2. Lunch prices are incredibly fair. I had the chicken pecan for lunch which included soup or salad, choice of side and the pecan crust med chicken with a creamy mushroom sauce all for $13. Service is good and there is plenty of seating with different side rooms and the bar. My only complaint is that the Bloody Mary doesn't come with a chaser. It's only a $1 more but you do need to ask for a chaser.

There were quite a few fast food and sandwich options close, but this had more a super club vibe which we were after. We weren't disappointed! They served prime rib on Thursday and red meat sounded like a perfect choice. Dinner started with a choice of two sides, so I had a cup of the Chicken Andouille and rice soup which warmed my heart. It was delightfully spicy. The prime rib was done to perfection and the au jus was flavorful. My wife had the pretzel crusted salmon with a mustard sauce on the side, asparagus and mashed potatoes. She hadn't had salmon done that way before and thought it was great. Will definitely return our next trip to Oshkosh.

This restaurant is also right next to an airfield with a large outdoor seating section. We came for dinner & the sun was already down, although it was still 70 degrees outside we sat inside. Our hostess asked us if we wanted anything to drink & we just asked for water, she promptly brought us 2 plastic cups of water. This was just a bit strange to me because all of the other tables around us, had glassware. Our server was great, when I asked for recommendations he had several, including the French dip, the Hangar curd burger, & the Tuscan chicken penne. The Friday night special was Fish Fry but I was not in the mood for anymore fried food. My husband ordered the French dip & I decided to try the pan fried Walleye since I've never had Walleye before, which is a local fish. My husband really enjoyed his French dip, and it was a really good size portion, stuffed with thin slices of roast beef, sautéed onions & mushrooms & melted mozzarella cheese. The French bread was lightly toasted & the au jus was tasty. I really enjoyed my pan fried Walleye entree. The fish was nice and light and they cooked it with the skin on but really crisped it up. It was served on a bed of pesto mashed potato's and topped with sautéed spinach & blistered grape tomato's then drizzled with a balsamic glaze. Lots of flavor & great textures. I was very satisfied with my choice. I'd definitely recommend this place.

    I can see the charm of the river domes, but we had to make a reservation to get one and there was…read moreno one else in any of the other ones when we were there. In fact, at 7 pm on a Thursday, there wasn't even a dozen people in the restaurant to begin with. Everything was decorated for Valentine's Day which was a cute addition. The domes are also heated which made things nice, but you can't really see the river which is the point of the domes. Additionally, our server didn't really check on us and it took a while to get the condiments missing when the food arrived. We ordered a variety of items with the ny strip being the best of what we tried. The au jus was rather bland, the fries were crispy but had no flavor, the fish was quickly soggy due to all the oil not being drained. We added on hush puppies to the fish and chips.... $5 for 5 hush puppies. Would not suggest doing that, not worth the up charge. There is an eclectic mix of things on the menu but nothing that would lead me to recommend someone to try this place. The beer selection was great however so if you are looking for a place to grab a drink, the tap room feels like a great option. The restaurant however is more for vibes than a quality meal.

It was "seat yourself" on the patio and it was quite busy so it took a while to get service at all. Eventually we ordered drinks, which then took so long to come out that the waiter apologized profusely. My husband and I both asked for water-the waiter only brought one glass instead of two. By this time, I was thinking "this is going to take forever..". Luckily- it didn't take forever at all. Once we placed out appetizer and food order-everything came out within 10 minutes. It was so strange to be so slow..and then..so fast. Our food was pretty good. I ordered a grilled shrimp Poke bowl. The rice was Al dente-definitely not my favorite for rice. There also was a drizzle of sauce on it, which was a little spicy, but I was able to eat it without problem. Everything else in the bowl was fresh and delicious. My husband had fish tacos, which he also really enjoyed. And the portion was pretty big too! My teenage son had a late lunch so he just snacked on a hot pretzel and cheese curds, both of which were hot and tasty. A good spot to eat outdoors and listen to music!
