I like the food here, we drive through Crivitz frequently and get a pick up order. We always get cheeseburgers and fries. Burgers are tasty and always cooked perfectly, not too greasy, great bar burger . Fries are more battered or breaded? Personal preference, not my favorite but still decent. Unfortunately, like many restaurants these days, I can only see their menu if I have a Facebook! I would like to know what else they have on their menu but I refuse to get a Facebook just to read restaurant menus. Put your menu on Yelp maybe? That would be helpful read more

Good Bloody Mary, food was outstanding, wait staff was very polite kept the drinks full. read more

Unfortunately we had terrible table side service and then our food was dry and burnt. We have been here in the past but today was exceptionally bad. After our waitress NEVER returned to our table for drinks( she was sitting on her phone at the register !) I went up to the bar to get a refill and she told me she cannot give us drinks, we need to tell our waitress!!!! It will be a long time before we go there if ever again! read more

I had a great experience at Gateway Bar and Grill. Our server was so nice! The loaded nachos did not disappoint. The nachos themselves are like deep fried flour tortillas. So yummy that I stuffed myself to the gills! read more

Great service, fantastic food. Glad we stopped in! Cole slaw not to my taste but Im picky.

Never had a chance to eat food sat us down, brought us soda and a salad and never came back. People came in after us ate their food and left, and we never got the food so we got up and walked out and will never return. I should've went to cousins down the street. In fact we did. read more

We have heard many great reviews of this place so we finally checked it out. The place was busy even for a Sunday but they have a breakfast buffet on Sundays. Even for it being that busy, all of the tables were clean as well as the floor. Everything was very nice and clean. We were seated right away. Our waitress was super nice and friendly. She kept checking in on us and making sure we were good. There is an upcharge to have fries with your meal otherwise you just get tortilla chips and a salsa type of dip. We ordered a bacon cheeseburger wrap and a Flamethrower burger. I was expecting the bacon cheeseburger wrap to be warm but it wasn't. I am not even sure the meat was heated up. I was a little thrown off by it. But it still was pretty good. My husband got the Flamethrower and said it was a great burger. He loved the heat that the burger had to it. I definitely would try a burger the next time we go back. If you are in the area or driving by, stop in for a bite to eat. They have plenty of options on their menu so there is a little something for everyone! read more

Good food, but high prices. We were stunned to learn that their (pricey) sandwiches come with potato chips from a bag, and it's another $3.00 to upgrade to fries! Come on.. Service was friendly and restaurant was comfortable, but didn't feel like the greatest value. read more

Service was amazing, food was great. Convenient location. Happy with Friday fish fry up north to say the least. read more

This place sucks. Don't even fooled by the number of cars in the parking lot. It's mostly because there aren't many other places to go in town. I won't comment on the service because that wouldn't be fair since most of the servers are just barely 18 year olds who are clueless. The food was bad. If I hadn't been starving for having a few too many drinks somewhere else I wouldn't have eaten. I had a burger. It lacked any kind of season - btw it was the flame thrower. No heat at all. Bland. And bun to meat ratio was awful - too much bun and dry AF. My friend had a philly and a good quarter of the meat was inedible. The soup was sooo salty. The only thing that was decent were the waffle fries. Also they automatically put a 3% charge for using a card on the bill without even asking for our method of payment first. read more

So disappointing. Haddock was very dry, perch was lacking...sad they do not have a burger on their kid's menu, regular burger was way too much. Beans were undercooked. Two stars because service was great, but not enough to make up for the bad food... read more

Good food. Prime rib samich was excellent. Ruben was tasty. Bartender was a feisty treat. Very reasonable prices. The patio and outdoor bar looked like it might be fun in the summer. Would be 5-stars but minus 1 star for the 3% credit card surcharge. You are a business owner - you eat it. And 3% means your business has shitty credit. Minus another star for the dim teenage waitress in her "Let's Go Brandon" hoodie. I'm no Biden fan, but I'm here for a samich and a beer - I don't need a political statement from backwoods Dollar Store Republican Greta Thunburg read more

The service is not the real issue at this establishment the food is bland and usually half burnt it's pretty bad when you can't send out a proper burger most definitely the last $ I'll spend in that place read more

Excellent food. The speed it came was awesome. Our server was very nice and attentive. Always like the look of this place.

Still upset I missed the meat raffle. Offer the staff here a dollar for a smile. And don't miss out on 50 cent wing thursdays. If you're looking for a night out in Chivetz, look no further than the Gateway. Jimi paid this place a visit and saw his doppelgänger. We took a picture but for security purposes Jimi cannot post. Great place to play fist or five Five stars read more

We stopped because the location was convienent and they had a large outdoor patio. We we were traveling with our small dog and thought we could take her to avoid keeping her in a hot car. Sadly, they are not progressive enough to allow leashed dogs on the patio. NOT PET FRIENDLY. To be fair they do have postings indicating no pets allowed. I just did not see the sign. However, my dog is quieter than a lot of people's kids that were there. We were vanquished to picnic tables at the edge of the parking lot, near the horseshoe pits. This turned out to be okay because it was such a nice day with a breeze. We placed our order inside and the waitress delivered it to our picnic table. The order came quickly. Husband had their version of a Greek salad - which looked like my side salad except it had feta cheese in it (no olives, ancho is or peppers). Both salads were of a good size. I had a grilled cheese and ham sandwich. It was okay except the lunch meat used was not dry when they made the sandwich so the toasted bread was soggy on one side. Sandwich was served with coleslaw. My husband also had tomato soup which he said was okay. Total bill was about $29 without any drinks - we brought our own to our picnic! SUGGESTION: Designate the small back portion of your patio, facing the parking lot as pet friendly. Might stop again for a drink ( w/o the killer dog) but would not go out of my way for their food. read more

Today is the second time we ate there this week. We were told it was good and it certainly is. Both waitress we extremely friendly and attentive. Had the poor mans lobster today. Huge tasty portion. Hubby had the deep fried cod and said it was very good. The first time I had a grilled chicken wrap with almonds & cucumbers & raspberry dressing, awesome, hubby had a philly steak that he said was the best he ever had. It's now one of our local favorites read more

I may not be returning to this place, despite it being our favorite dinner spot on the way north for the past 3 years. The usual beer-battered walleye platter we always ordered came soggy, tasting almost like greasy catfish, rather than tender and flaky. It's also $4 more expensive than the previous year and they don't offer you the "all you can eat" second helping as they did before. Service was also the slowest that we've ever experienced in all our visits to Gateway. I wonder if the place will remain viable as restaurants fail often out in these remote parts of Wisconsin. I know I'll skip over them next year on my journey north. read more

The food was not bad. Hamburger was dry I ordered A patty melt rare was cooked medium well. Service was friendly and prompt. Establishment was clean. read more

We stop here once a year on the way up to camp in Pembine. The restaurant is just off the highway, so it's a convenient location. They also have a beautiful patio. So, it's great to sit outside on a warm summer day. The menu consists of sandwiches / wraps, burgers, pizza, and fish. Each day, they have a food special. I chose the Ultimate Grilled Cheese. It was a bit too much bread for me as it was 3 slices of thick Texas toast. However, their Vitalia dip offered with their chips is very good. They have a kids' menu that consists of mac and cheese, hot dog, chicken nuggets, etc with fries, fruit, and a kids' drink. I'd recommend staying away from the mac and cheese as it's a small serving. The other options are a nicer-sized kid meal. Every year, they have raffle tickets on the tables that support a drawing for the local food pantry. I appreciate that they are supporting their local community! read more

This place has good food. We had the broasted chicken and it was one of the best that I have had. Nice atmosphere too.

Stopped in Saturday night with 2 other guys around 8:30. The staff was friendly, the food was good and hot and came out reasonably fast. Queen cut prime rib was huge and perfectly done. Deep fried cheese curds were delicious. I'll be back. read more

Best pizza in Crivitz hands down! We come up to stay at our parents property up here a few times a year and every time we get the gateway special. Delicious! read more

We came here looking for a buffet, but plates the waitresses were carrying, from the menu, looked much more appetizing than the few buffet items offered. So, we ordered breakfast off menu, instead. That was a great decision. Breakfast was very good, over-easy eggs, hashbrowns, a typical breakfast. The best part is the food wasn't greasy or salty. Tasted like you made it at home. They also served a real good bloody mary. Overall, a nice place. Will definitely come again. read more

When Gateway remodeled their outside area we were hoping a wall would go up between the patio and the traffic on 141 about 25 feet away from the tables. When a wall blocking traffic noise and smells never went up we joked about how it must be to sit in traffic to enjoy a meal. With limited outdoor dining options in this area we broke down and tried their patio this week.   It was every bit as horrible as we imagined.   Dump trucks and semis, roaring pickups and motorcycles, exhaust and a red light to make sure you got to enjoy them, and halt conversation, just a little bit longer. We wondered why in the world they wouldn't put a wall on one side and make a nice cozy eating space.   We actually joked that maybe it's because they want drivers to see people eating.   We didn't think that was the reason because 99.9% of the people that drive by could care less about the dining on the patio, but I guarantee that 100% of the diners on the patio care about the semi that is idling at the light next to their table. We asked a waitress if they haven't considered blocking the traffic view.   She said:  "Believe me, you're not the first person to ask that.  But they want people driving by to see the people eating." It was that stupid after all. We won't be back unless we see some kind of barrier go up between the patio and Highway 141.   Too bad because the food and service were great. read more

I have business in Crivitza few times per year. I always schedule it for a Monday or Tuesday: AYCE chicken wings and $0.45 wing night, respectively. I took two employees with me this time. Two off us had the wings and the third got a pizza. As usual, the wings were very good. Hot, crispy. I love waffle fries; these were good. Man, I love waffle fries with wings. It took a little longer than I would expect to get a second helping of 6 wings, but not bad. My colleague liked her pizza, 14 inch, two topping. She got sausage and tomatoes...new for me. She didn't like the outer crust -- too hard. I tasted the pizza. Pretty good. Sauce was tomatoes and sweet. Big chunks of sausage. Well worth the price. Service was good. The server had a few big groups when we got there so we waited a little, but the other server helped out. It took a little bit to get my 2nd beer, so I took matters into my own hands. It helps south the passion of walking whe they have two of my favorite tap beers: Keewaunaw Widowmaker and Blue Moon. In conclusion, I enjoy coming to The Gateway. Anyplace you can get very good wings and waffle fries that fill you up, with good bleu cheese dressing, three good tap beers, and decent service for under $20 is worth some kudos. Clean up some serving and kitchen stuff and we're moving into the fours. read more

Excellent food here. The walleye sandwich and the flamethrower (chicken) sandwich are fantastic! Their coleslaw is great! Very worth stopping. Can't wait for their patio & outdoor bar to open this summer! read more

Here visiting family from out of town. Super unimpressed with the wait staff. Bar tender with blue hair was a straight bitch. And the other wait staff wasn't very friendly either. We didn't eat, just stopped in for drinks. Drink prices are fair but if you want an enjoyable atmosphere without the cackling drunk assholes head over to the IDK. read more

Stopped for a quick bite, service was s l o w. Did not get waited on for almost 15 minutes. Just as I was grabbing my coat and leaving did a waitress notice I was there. Pizza buffett was meh. Never got a second clean plate, only three pizza, wings with no sauce, pizza had been sitting awhile. Few tap choices, skip this place. Pretty sure you have to be a local to get decent service. read more

I had a bacon cheeseburger wrap, it is delicious and staff is very friendly. Widow maker beer is a delight to drink. It's a dark beer but very mild with caramel taste. read more

Stopped here to eat. Worst service I have ever had. It took 20 minutes to just get a waitress to take our drink order. Took another 30 minutes for her to take her order. After waiting 40 minutes for our food, we just got up and left. Our waitress was terrible. Will never go there again or recommend. read more

The food is good however if you apply for a job and your not twenty-something he won't hire you. He definitely discriminates against age I've applied here twice I've lived here 15 years and the first time when I was 42, and just moved to town was told about him then. This past summer they needed help so bad they were on the radio advertising so I went in applied again nope no job. So if you're not 20 years old don't bother. He even went so far to fire someone that worked for him for 12 years and the reason guess what, she got older. Keep in mind this guy that owns this place has owned it forever. Does he think he's not getting old? I'm 55 I look much younger and I have a great body and yet I couldnt get hired cuz. Why?? I'm what too old? Dude needs to get off his high horse! read more

The server didn't clear any dirty glasses or plates the entire time. It took a half hour to get our rounds of drinks each time. I ordered mild wings, which the menu offers, they came as naked wings, in other words, small pieces of broasted chicken, no sauce. When I asked the server for some hot sauce, she came back 10 minutes later to tell me they don't have hot sauce..... Tabasco? Apparently not... no hot sauce in a restaurant, seems weird. I'm not sure why the menu offers both hot and mild wings when apparently they have neither. And let's talk about the all you can eat tacos. They arn't exactly all you eat if the server never comes back to ask if you'd like more. It was just a very bad expirence. On a positive note, the kids really liked the high pressure hand dryer in the bathroom.... read more

It's a good thing I really wasn't THAT hungry when we stopped at the Gateway Bar & Grill on the way home from Chicago. We thought we would be pleasantly pleased when we walked in and the place was pretty crowded. My boyfriend ordered the All You Can Eat Peel and Eat shrimp, my son ordered a burger, and my daughter ordered the fettucini alfredo. I love ruebens. It's my favorite sandwich, and I usually ordered that if its on the menu. Upon receiving my sandwich, the visual immediately threw me off. My corned beef wasn't a pretty pink, but a slice of pink surrounded a greyish brown meat. My stomach turned. Corned beef shouldn't look like that. I decided to taste it anyways. YUCK! It had a gross sweet flavor. I opened up the sandwich and examined it. Then I thought maybe it was the Thousand Island dressing. Dipped my fry into it. Gross! It tasted like they put allspice in it (could have been cinnamon too - not sure). So, I decided to taste the other half of my sandwich. Nope. Still gross. The waitress comes over and asks us at that point if I want a box to take my sandwich with me. I laughed and said no. My boyfriend spoke up then and said "I think there's something wrong with the corned beef". She apologized and said she would bring that up with the cook right away. She comes back and says, "The cook says the color is normal for corned beef once the sauerkraut touches it, the corned beef becomes oxidized." REALLY?! Oxidized? Never heard of such a thing. I laughed and I think I might have said that was a load of bull, but I am not sure. I told her that it still tasted funny and that I have consumed my fair share of corned beef to know what it should look and taste like. My daughter also said her pasta tasted funny, and my son tried it also, and confirmed her thoughts. My boyfriend thought they should at least comp my sandwich considering I only took a total of three bites. But they didn't. The bill was WAY too much for the quality of the food we received. I didn't feel so hot on the way home. The highlight of my visit to the Gateway Bar & Grill was the pint of Spotted Cow. They should just stick with serving booze and close the kitchen before someone gets really sick from rancid corned beef. read more

I live about 5 miles away from Crivitz, and unfortunately Gateway is one of the only sit-down restaurants to eat at in the village. Gateway has TERRIBLE service, probably because they only employ 16 year old bimbos who don't have a brain. On one of my trips there my husband and I had to leave within 2 minutes of arriving because of an emergency at work, and they still made me pay for my soda that had not even arrived at the table yet! We took family there this past weekend for breakfast, and I will say that I will never go back there again. The waitress brought me and my sister-in-law completely wrong food orders, and did not even offer to take it back to the kitchen to remake our order. She NEVER even apologized (instead, she made us feel guilty like WE messed up the order) or gave us a discount on any of our food, even though two of the plates were not what we had ordered. Two of the tables next to us also sent their food back while we were there. I have never received food or service promptly, the food is overpriced and mediocre AT BEST, and the ENTIRE waitstaff needs some customer service training. I will never be going back to this place! read more

Stopped for breakfast today and was not pleased at all! The waitress was not very pleasant. She never said hello or good morning. The food was so so. The person I was with enjoyed her French toast. I ordered pancakes which were as thin as crepes. The waitress never came back to check on us. At the time there were only 2 other tables. One table was just a lady and the other table maybe had 8 people. The owners were both there as well. When she came with the check finally she never asked how everything was or if we needed anything else. I was going to order something to go for a family member who didn't come with us, but I thought better of it. I will not be coming back again. I live locally and was in impressed to say the least! read more

Went to this place on Wednesday for my birthday. Sat outside and we were greeted in a timely matter. Got our drinks quick too, we then ordered dinner and we waited.... And waited.... And waited.... There was a fairly large group seated when we got there, but their food started coming out when we got our drinks. We waited 45 minutes to get our food. My husband ordered a Rueben, when the waitress placed it in front of him.... She said a Rachel... and then said... Rueben. When he went to take a bite, he said, this IS A RACHEL. We waited another 10 minutes to flag down the waitress, and instead of taking it away right away, she said ohhh let me check, went to the kitchen, came back and said.... It's the kitchens fault, I put it in correctly. Then she took his plate......15 minutes later his sandwich came back! My family was done eating at that point so he got to watch us eat dinner and then eat alone! Then when she brought the check, she said I took your drink off!!! WHAT? How about the meal that was messed up!!!! Terrible service and OK FOOD... read more

We try to stop here on the way to our cabin when we can. They have a nice outdoor patio and have excellent pizza! Reasonably priced! Husband isn't a fan of the fish but everyone has their own opinion. Otherwise it's nice. read more

I have been here a few times. It is a pretty convenient place to go if you're looking for better than average food around the Crivitz area. The chicken is pretty good, the steaks are good, and the prime rib is real good. There are better places, but there are far more worse places. My only complaint is that the service is real average. The people are nice, but it seems like everything takes longer than it should. When I'm up north, I love the fact that things seem to slow down, but that doesn't necessarily mean I want to spend all night waiting for my food. I'll definitely go back though, especially since they have changed around the decor, and reorganized the inside. read more
