Friday night fish fry. Rob cleared off a table to get us seated right away. We all ordered different fish dinners. All very tasty and we loved the potato pancakes. Great service and great food. read more

We have been coming here for well over a decade. We used to be able to enjoy great meals on a regular basis. Whether a large table or a table of four, we could count on good food and good service. I'm sorry to say that my last several visits here were not only disappointing but the last visit on July 7, 2024, has me never going back. On more than one occasion in recent past, we have had food cooked incorrectly. I kept coming back because I know there are few restaurants up north and I want to try to support the businesses. This was the last straw. One of the items we ordered was a hamburger, medium-rare. It came out very well-done, almost burned. We asked for another one. The waitress came out and told us that the kitchen refused to redo the dish. The waitress said she would just place another order take it out of her own money. She was crying. She also asked for us not to complain as she would get in trouble. Mind you, a similar thing happened to us over a year before, with a different waitress. Mistakes are made in any business. Dishes are over or undercooked but it is how the business deals with it, which makes the difference. I'm done with this place. I understand that after last winter, businesses are struggling but the customers are struggling too in this economy and are spending a lot of money to enjoy an evening out. If we are paying for a dinner, we should be able to get it cooked correctly. read more

Went to the Thursday's Chicken and Rib special. We've had it before and I gotta say we're usually pretty happy with it. However, this time the ribs were dry and hard (old tasting). Someone needs to do quality control. Those ribs should not have been served. The baked potato option was good the brocolli option was bad, tasted odd left it on the plate. Mentioned it to the server with no response. The salad I had was a little wilted and one piece of greens was black and shriveled on the end of one of the stems. The old fashions were spot on. The bartender, he's top notch. Service was just okay nothing special. This will be the last time for Thursday nite special for us. The meals alone were 54 bucks and the only good part of the meal was the bread and broasted chicken which were both prepared fresh. Their Sunday all you can eat chicken dinner is really good. read more

We went in a Friday, and I got the broiled walleye special. It was perhaps the best cooked walleye I've ever had. Even with the long wait (45 min), it was worth it. read more

Amazing steak sandwich. I've never seen a larger hunk of meat. Highly recommended. This place is very popular with tourists.

Food and drinks were very good. I will go back for sure. Stayed in one of the cottages and it was very clean.

Been coming up to the area since I can remember and have never been here. Boy, I was missing out all these years! Had calamari to start with and.finished off with a delicious burger! Our waitress was very knowledgeable and great! If you're looking for a fancy restaurant, go somewhere else! This place is your up north place! read more

After vacation and living in St. Germain every summer for my entire life, my family and I decided to try Fibbers in October during the start of dead season since it's insane in the summer time after seeing so many people post about how they have the best fish fry on Facebook whenever people ask. To our surprise it was extremely crowded but we didn't have to wait. We sat in the way back of the restaurant and had to wait a while since they were so packed (we don't mind waiting, we know and understand the staffing issues here so we never complain about waiting!) our server was very nice and was running all over the place attending to his tables. We all ordered the fish fry, 2 clam chowders and I got a French onion soup. The soups were ok, the fish did not live up to the hype. I had the walleye, it was extremely over cooked and whatever breading they use for frying the fish was really overbearing and not what I look for in a fish fry. I also had to pick out a bunch of fish bones as well. The other two people in my party agreed and said the fish fry wasn't anything special and that we wouldn't come back here for a fish fry night but would consider coming back to try something else on the menu. One more thing I want to note about Fibbers is that this place gets VERY loud. If you're coming here with family looking to have conversation, this is not the place to do so. It's more of a bar atmosphere. read more

Total disappointment. Service is arrogant, waitstaff trashy and privileged . Don't waste your time or your money. Total disappointment.

Jerritt our server was wonderful. The food was terrible. The roasted chicken was dry. The Texas melt was terrible. It was a frozen patty without any seasoning. The ambiance was the same as it was 30 years ago! I do NOT recommend this place. read more

Tried out Fibber's last night. A rustic bar and restaurant in the woods. Nothing fancy but just what we look for when in northern Wisconsin. Service was great and the food was excellent. We also got some good fishing tips. We would definitely stop there again. read more

Always have great service here. Fish fry is excellent as well as their clam chowder which they won awards for. I believe they have a German food night which sounds great to me. I've been wanting to try german night just haven't had a chance just yet but it's definitely on my must try list. The ambiance here is perfect for the northwoods. Try it. I think you'll like it. read more

Best fish fry in the Vilas Co area hands down. Always worth the wait (which will be substantial on a summer weekend). Beer battered perch is my go to but the cod and walleye are both excellent. Great staff read more

This place has been on our list to stop for a while. We ventured in last weekend and decided to have a drink and lunch. Bloody Mary- 7.5/10. It was very good and had great flavor. The usual toppings with a perfect crunchy pickle. Solid Bloody Mary. Food- I got a burger and boyfriend got the hot beef dip sandwich. The burger components were all delicious... not the burger itself. Unfortunately it tasted like a frozen premade patty. Not low quality but just average. If the burger patty itself was fresh, it would have been an amazing burger. Fries good. Beef dip was huge and had lots of flavor. Atmosphere was great, loved looking out at the lake and all the fish on the walls. Very cool spot to stop and check out. They have a bar area and dining area. Very large place ! Service was attentive. Recommend stopping in the next time you're looking for a quick bite and cold drinks. read more

Older school place right on the lake. Nice people good food. Log cabin feel good soups on cold nights

Awesome. Great views of Big St Germain. Rob was serving up some ice cold Capitol Supper Club and crisp Michael Jordan tequila gimlets. Tuesday night, traditional Wisconsin Fish Fry - she had the Walleye and I had the Cod...this is the reason Fibbers is consistently voted best Fish Fry in the Northwoods. Thanks Barb for making our visit delicious, safe, and comfortable. Visit Fibbers for lunch or dinner, I know you'll love it, we sure do. read more

Great walleye dinner! We love Fibbers and have been coming here for years! Our favorite spot in the Northwoods for sure! read more

This is the last week of July 2019 and full height of Covid-19. We wore masks to pick up carryout food. the fried perch and walleye was ok, fried shrimp didn't have much shrimp taste to them and the fries were very stale and dry. Granted it was carryout but we ate it immediately after we brought it up home after the 3 min commute. Food was disappointing and none of the staff wore masks. read more

BEST POTATO PANCAKE I have ever had!!!! The lightly breaded perch is awesome as well! Great burger. Tasty drinks. read more

Still amazing and delicious, and been coming since 2009 ;never disappointed. Clam chowder delicious and service was prompt and quick. Does not disappoint. read more

Fibber's Bar & Restaurant - Beer battered cod fish fry - Hotels Near Me - Saint Germain, Wisconsin

Stopped by with a group of 16 for a bachelor party planning to boost the local economy. We clearly weren't welcome and were treated like an inconvenience for all the wait staff. Probably won't be back. read more

We have been wanting to go back for years but Covid got in the way. Had their Tuesday night fish fry- fish was excellent and the homemade potato pancakes were worth the trip. Definitely will return. read more

Real fish fry with options of walleye and perch! But NO malt vinegar!! The beer breading on the fish was excellent. But no vinegar. Only lemons and Tartar sauce. The potato pancakes were delicious. But no vinegar. Lively place and typical Wisconsin bar decor. But no vinegar. I'd go again but I would bring my own vinegar. read more

Fibber's food is good. We definitely enjoyed the ribs and the apps. Unfortunately, this review is not about the food but about the establishment itself. My family and I were extremely disappointed with the shirts staff members were wearing with a "Musky lives Matter" in "black lives matter" font on the front of it. While we understand this restaurant does care for muskies and is involved in the conversation of the fish, it entirely belittles the actual black lives matter movement and is extremely offensive. Very disappointed to see the carelessness in wearing that shirt, especially in such a climate we are in. Be better. read more

Beware.... cruising the lake on a nice day on the pontoon. Stopped by the Fib bar to have round of cold drinks with 4 people and myself. Unable to use CC to buy 5 beers, ($18) because it's a $25 minimum when using a CC? Yikes! read more

Has an awesome all you can eat chicken dinner on Sundays. It's like thanksgiving. Only problem ya need to take a nap once you get home cause it was so good. read more

Well I don't know if it's good. I called to make sure they were open. The message assured me they were, however when we arrived, they were not. Now I know why they're called fibbers. I will give you 3 stars cuz I'm now car sick AND hungry! read more

Darren's Rule: The quality of a fish fry is directly correlated with the number of taxidermy fish on the walls. It never fails. Fibber's is a lovely little bar/restaurant on the shores of St. Germain. Decor is Wisconsin Supper Club, with log walls, beer signs, and a game room featuring Buck Hunter (you put in 50 cents and shoot game animals with a plastic rifle. Decor aside, we had the fish fry (Tuesdays and Fridays). Our waiter was attentive and thoughtful. We were presented with options: Our choice of cod, perch, or walleye; beer batter, breaded, or baked. That's nine choices. We chose the walleye because Wisconsin. It should have been called a whale-eye. That fillet was so huge it hung off the ends of my rather large plate. It was perfectly done, beer battered, and went well with the pub fries I chose. This is a great place; not gourmet, but if it exceeds the taxidermy musky rule by a lot. read more

I'm only going to give 3 stars right now and normally I would've gave them 5 stars. I have been to Fibbers a few times this year and have normally had great service. Now I know with the covid issues and having a hard time finding help they have started opening later in the day (they need to change their website showed they were open like @ noon today when they actually didn't open till 4). But the real reason I'm kind not impressed with them right now is we were the first customers thru the door. when I asked if we could eat out on their porch I was told only drinks on the porch no food, ok totally fine with that. I then asked if we could order food at the bar along with our drinks the bartender then informs us only appetizers at the bar no sandwiches and we would have to eat in the dining room if we ordered sandwiches. It is literally 15 feet from where we were already sitting enjoying our drinks and there were 3 servers standing at the bar waiting. Like I said we were the 1st customers thru the door. Their excuse was because if it got busy they wouldn't be able to serve us. We have been there in the past and have always ate the bar. Looks like we won't be going back there for awhile. read more

If you're looking for the best broasted chicken in the Northwoods, Fibbers is your place! Don't skip the French onion soup too!

The chicken meal and the soup was excellent. The walleye was full of bones and a challenge to eat. None of the staff wore masks and halfway through our meal they sat a party of 4 right next to us although the dining room was basically empty. When we questioned why they were seated there when so many tables were empty, we were told "we seat all the tables" There were only 4 parties seated in the restaurant and all pretty close together, not safe at all with covid cases rising. read more

We went to Fibber's on a Tuesday evening. To our surprise they have a Fish Fry on Tuesdays. The Perch was excellent. Our server Barbara was friendly and outstanding. We will definitely be back. read more

Very nice. My Walleye dinner was excellent and my Buddy's said the same about the prime rib and the perch.

Stopped at Fibbers on a Monday night- German night. The food was phenomenal! Made from scratch potato pancakes- no mix here, the sauerkraut was just the right amount of tang and crunchy. I had the sauerbraten, it was served with spaetzel and even a homemade ginger snap cookie on the side. Everything was delicious! Will definitely be back! read more

Friday Night Fish Fry... the best in and around St. Germain. Why you ask? It's your choice of either Perch, Walleye or Cod. I prefer the cod but those who love perch says its the best around. And you can order your fish either broiled, lightly breaded, or beer battered. You MUST order the homemade german potato pancakes, of course with applesauce on the side. And the coleslaw is fresh and not soupy or too creamy. You could order it all you can eat, but you don't have to. You'll be full when you leave and its 12.95 as of last night. There is plenty of parking right by the lake. read more
