The staff is super. The food is decent. Pay a premium for being on the lake. There are some things like a side salad being sheared bag lettuce on a plate just is not right. read more

I absolutely love everything about Foolery's the food is awesome along with the atmosphere. However, we stopped in for the first time in a couple month. I was very disappointed with the lack of social distancing. Workers were not wearing mask, condiments bottles and menus were consistently being re-used without being disinfected. Had the COVID re-opening standers have been used I would have given 5 stars. read more

Very poor service and attention to patrons. Also waited two hours for some wraps and burgers with no explanation or apology. There's better places on the lake that actually care about service. read more

Great customer service. We had Katie as our server and she was really friendly and had really prompt service. The food was also delicious. Obviously it's "bar food" but it was still very good. read more

You got to get the "foolery" burger. Best there is in the area. It has fried string onions, and an egg on it. Great place to go to after boating all day. read more

Stopped here on our way out of town for our anniversary. We were so happy we did. Our burgers were oustanding! Three options for meet we had the highest end and were super happy. Perfectly cooked too. Our waitress was very nice. Though it was a bit chilly, we sat outside on the beautiful deck that had an awesome lake view. We will go back often. read more

Shannon and Taylor are always so nice and helpful. We love coming in to visit them when they're bartending! Great tap beer selection. Food is alright for bar food, although it seems to be a reoccurring issue getting temperatures right and quality seems to vary depending on the day. read more

This was my favorite for food and atmosphere until this Friday evening. We had the pan-fried walleye. I had only taken a couple of bites out my walleye, when my friend started choking on the fish scales. Although I did not taste any fish scales in my two bites, just looking at the scales on the other plate, along with the bones it took my appetite away, so I took my fish home. Tonight I attempted to eat the leftover fish and I also found scales - lots of them. When I examined the fish closely, I noticed that the skin was still on the fish and the scales were still on the skin. Needless to say, the fish went into the garbage. I will probably go back to Foolery's because I love the deck overlooking the lake, but I will never order fish again. Next time, it will definitely be another menu item. read more

Loud, boisterous hang-out on a lake in WI...this places screams summertime! Despite its party atmosphere we really like the food here. We look forward all year to summertime when we come here, chill on the deck with cold beers and excellent burgers. read more

While the burgers are a bit pricey, in this case you get what you pay for. Pretty big and delicious. Great patio that is always packed. fantastic view. Worth a visit. read more

Popular spot on the lake, nice views maybe that is why they do not have to try to hard in the food dept. Wraps were ok- Bacon Avocado and Buffalo Chicken( needed a lot more sauce) Rueben was sufficient.Service was friendly but a bit unorganized- very laid back. Had to find someone to get containers for leftovers and bill. read more

Went there last Friday to try their fish fry. Very good. I ordered the pan fried walleye which was awesome! They even serve potato pancakes. My husband ordered the fish fry (cod) which I tried. Nice big piece not too greasy. Have always enjoyed this place despite years of horrible service. I believe the new owners/managers have changed it around. Have been there multiple times this summer and always happy with the service and the food. Still a couple of tools bartending or serving but all in all I am happy. read more

Love this place, one of my favorites. The food is really good, good variety and reasonable prices. However, they get Really busy on Fridays , we went 2 weeks ago and there was a 2 hour wait for food!!! So we drank instead read more

Mahi Mahi Is delishous. Staff is decent but even if they sucked I'd still give it five stars cause the mahi mahi is that good.

Worst service I've ever had in my life. I went there for lunch with my sister, dad, and stepmom. They forgot one of our meals and then it took an hour to get it to our table after the "rushed" the order. The wait staff was young and unprofessional. There was not a manager on duty to address the issue so another waiter came by to "explain" how they were just busy and that they'd get our meal to us when they could. When we were getting ready to leave (and NEVER come back) our waiter came back to our table and told us we were being the c word. The median age of the people working there was probably 20-22. In 24 but I would NEVER talk like that to ANYONE let alone my dad and stepmom who are both 50+. We also had other issues that are hard to explain, but moral of the story is we will not be returning. read more

Brady is the best!!! Great server and bar. He will make sure you're happy and taken care of. AMAZING read more

Foolery's on Okauchee Lake - Brady is the best - Bars Near Me - Oconomowoc, Wisconsin

Forget it. Will take an hour and a day to get service from the bar. We tried with both male and female. No difference. Barely anyone there and stood around for 20 mins. You decide read more

A place I look forward to visiting whenever I come back to Lake Country. Menu has a lot of food and drink options to satisfy any type of customer, and its location on the lake cannot be beat. Service is also fantastic, and sitting on the lake deck while the sun sets truly cannot be beat! I always leave feeling extremely satisfied and wanting to come back. read more

This is a great fun place for food and drink. Had lunch here twice last week. Service was warm, friendly and fun. View is so nice. The Foolery burger is to die for. If I ever get back that way, it will be on my list of places to go. read more

I have been to this bar a handful of times. I would say it's customer service is awful and unprofessional. During the summer of 2015 I was there around 4pm on a Thursday and my food was terrible. I even sent to back to the kitchen. The last time I was there, i was there for an event or a fundraiser. Was inside for maybe a total of 30 minutes before a bar brawl broke out. I am now writing my review because they have an upcoming event where they are offering to serve "camel meat" and also get a ride on top of a real live camel. This is disgusting to me. I'll never go back to this bar. read more

We walked in and out. I'll say their waterside patio was packed with happy faces. For me it was too loud and seemed "tired". A place for the young and/or young at heart... read more

Seemed like a very nice place at first, loved that we could sit outside and face the water as we ate dinner. However, service was terrible. Took a long time to get a server and rarely saw our server once we got one. Food was good, however it made me wake up in the middle of the night with food poisoning. I also noticed when I got my food that the lettuce for my burger was bad so I didn't eat that. Food poisoning has turned me away from ever eating here again. read more

Sat at bar for 5 minutes - watched 7 staff members walk by with out acknowledging three people who just walked in and sat at bar. Walked out and went somewhere else. read more

It has a ton of visitors just for drinking and the place is usually packed with people too. The bar is nice the faculty is nice everything is nice except for the people there and the food takes a long time to come out! read more

Well our server, who I will leave unnamed, was not very punctual and did not meet our requests. Additionally, instead of coming to accommodate the table, he spent time with his friends at another table. Overall not the best experience. He also decided to split our bill 5 ways and even out the price for everyone. Wasn't thrilled about paying for food I didn't order. read more

Foolery's is in the absolute perfect location right on Okauchee Lake. Parking here is scarce and it's by far the most popular place to land your boat. There's several parking for boats to come up which is probably half the people that come here. Inside is pretty loud, several TVs, an area for live music and good beers on tap. When I was there, there wasn't that many people inside but it was still very loud. It's a very energetic / lively atmosphere. Outdoors they have a beautiful deck raised above the dock area. By the dock there are picnic tables in the sand that you can also eat at. I came here for a drink before a boat ride, but then later decided to come here to grab food too. You would think that for a place with such a perfect location, the food would suck. But that wasn't the case, at all. I had a Buffalo Chicken Wrap and it was very good. Despite being short-staffed, the service wasn't terrible either. The prices weren't bad, especially for Oconomowac. I'd definitely go here again, for food, or for a fun time at the bar. P.S. They even have an obnoxiously over-sized lawn chair (just like AJ Bombers) if you're into that. read more

Great atmosphere on the lake, decent food and good service. It's busy which makes it difficult to get a table at peak times but that is to be expected and worth the wait. The owner and manager are both personable people and care about their customers. read more

We ate here yesterday and although the wait was a bit longer than I thought (they were really busy) the food was insanely good and the waiter was really attentive. The deck is really nice and so even if you wait a bit the outdoor atmosphere is great. I would definitely go back again. read more

Notice most of the good reviews are not recent. The service and attention here has been on a continuing decline since last summer. I just walked out after 10 min of watching people walk past me. No greeting from of any of the 6 people standing within 5 feet of me...half of which were texting on their phone. This is the second time in less than 3 months. It's always taken a long time to eat here, but it's declined even further now. The food and soups here are terrific but suggest you bypass and go into town if you want decent service. read more

Fun place. Pull up and dock. Eat on the boat or off the peer. They have tables set up also to eat on land.

Samantha our waitress was so awesome tonight--very welcoming and genuine. Thank you!!!

Whatever you do don't order the "prime rib" dip. I believe it may have been old flip flops instead of beef! Told the waitress that the sandwich was not good and she asked "why?" And then proceeded to say a replacement burger would take more than 30 minutes. WTF! While we waited for the burger, which didn't appear even after everyone else was done with their meals; no one came to see how we were doing or if we needed anything else. We asked about the burger when we received the bill and were told it would be another 10-15 min. Very disappointed all around. read more

Found this place on accident, and am so glad I did. I was in the area, on business, and decided it was a perfect evening for dinner by a lake. Special was $1 sliders. Had the Angus Burger, BLT, and Chicken. All were DEElish! Perfect setting to sit by the lake, on their deck, watch the boats coming in to dock, and enjoy the food. read more

Better food than we expected and a lakeview patio seat to boot. Thai peanut salad was great but should come with chicken right off the bat. The burgers allow you to pick from several proteins, are very large and packed with flavor. read more

Unbelievably poor service, price gauging, WEAK drinks and filthy restrooms/surfaces. Wow! Where to start? Brought my out-of-town family members - sister, brother in law and niece there because I remembered they had nice views/ambiance from the deck and it was a sunny Sunday afternoon and my Birthday too! That was the ONLY good thing - the view... Ordered one round of drinks, beer for me, mixed for everyone else. Not too bright waitress brought out 2 drinks and a beer.... OK, maybe she couldn't carry them all at once? Almost 10 minutes later, she finally made her appearance at the other side of the deck and my sister had to physically get up and go over to corral her to ask where our other drink was. She was clueless. Another 5 minutes go by when she finally came over to us with the drink (Tito's vodka and iced tea with now melted ice) and informed us that it had been sitting on the bar and implied that this turn of events was somehow our fault!?! Beer you can't screw up but as soon as everyone tasted their mixed drinks, the looks were exchanged. There was virtually NO detectable alcohol in the drinks! Sugarwater! Not weak, but like I said, no alcohol taste at all! Soooo,we thought, ok, measured shots probably with the measurements waaaay off. A side of chicken wings was ordered too (not bad) so we decided to cut our losses and split. "Check Please" Hahaha, $45.00 !!!!! REALLY??? 3 lame mixed drinks, one tap beer and chicken wing appetizer... Sooo, we take a close look at the bill, charged for DOUBLES! and 4 mixed drinks at that! Oh, waitress!! But wait, no-where to be found AGAIN! Over 5 minutes later, found her in he bar jack-jawing with the other wait staff in the corner and confronted her about the bill. She replies: "Oh, I don't know how that 4th mixed drink got on the bill and we ALWAYS charge DOUBLE prices for the patio orders." REALLY !!??!! So you don't bother to tell the people on the patio about the "DOUBLE" up-charging? Maybe a warning to your potential victims to be prepared to bend over would suffice... just saying... And, if you are going to charge DOUBLE prices, maybe you could include some ALCOHOL in the drinks? Good God, we couldn't get out of there fast enough! What a joke of a rip-joint that place turned out to be! Oh, and did I mention that every surface you touched was filthy/sticky - door handles, surfaces, restrooms. Maybe instead of the slackers on the wait staff huddled in the corner jerking off and ignoring the customers, maybe they could pick up a sponge and a broom... I'm guessing we aren't the only people that were let down that day, in fact we got some sympathetic looks from people at adjacent tables as we suffered through our ordeal. We'll NEVER be back, too bad. read more

We ate there Friday for the fish fry. I got the Walleye, and it was not breaded or fried. Definitely not what I expected. Fries got cold almost as fast as the service. Having cold drinks stocked at the table was my only compliment. I'm not sure how the fish FRY is, but I'm not sure I'll be going there again to find out.. read more

The quality and flavor of their food items are very good. However if you ask for normal condiments they charge you for them without ever warning you it's an additional cost. My husband asked for BBQ sauce for a brisket sandwich, I asked for sour cream instead of salad dressing for my salad additional charge for both items. read more

I very much wanted to give this place a 0, but couldn't. We went for happy hour and sat at a table outside approximately 10 feet from the bar and hostess stand. There were 6 girls standing around and talking about their nails. Seriously!!! They all cluelessly ignored us. We left after 10 minutes, complained to one of the girls behind the bar, and saw her laughing as we walked out to our car. It's the inmates running the asylum and no one seems to care. Never again!! read more

New to area, We stopped here on our jetskiis to have dinner. I always enjoy an outdoor setting on a nice summer day so that was nice. The food was tasty, ordered cheese curds that came out square shaped which was unusual but were good. Entrees were decent and no complaints. We ordered the fried snicker bar which was different but small for $8,splitting between 4 people was not good, more ice cream than main desert. I gave 4 stars due to being a good spot to eat but expect to pay $$$ for basic food items. read more

I have eaten here on just about every trip to Wisconsin and food is always good and the beer is always cold. Staff is extremely friendly and proactively provide weather reports when you are eating lunch on the patio and a severe t-storm is about 15 minutes away; thanks to the heads up we stayed dry! I highly recommend trying the Ruben wraps of off their appetizer menu! Be warned the music can be a bit loud so if you are looking to have a conversation with a crowd larger then 4 plan your seating accordingly. read more
