The food is why you first came to the Hobnob but the atmosphere and the staff are why you keep coming back. When you see a restaurant staff that's been there for years that is a sign of quality and Jennifer is probably the best bartender in Wisconsin read more

Entering this traditional supper club is like traveling back in time to the middle of the 20th century. It's been several years since our previous visit, and the only thing that ever seems to change here is the prices. The over-the-top (but dated) elegance, a commanding view of Lake Michigan, doting service, and well-prepared classics remain exactly as we remember. We made our reservations online and were seated promptly upon arrival. The cocktails are expertly mixed and generous in size (the Missus and I are Bloody Mary types). The days of a "free" relish tray are no more, but we ordered one as our app ($13) and the plentiful portion was more than enough for our party of 4. A basket of freshly-baked rolls accompanied by a thick slab of melty butter arrived next. Entrée prices include a choice of soup or salad and a side dish. Their baked French onion soup rivals most pub versions and the house-made salad dressings are exceptional. For my entrée, I could not resist ordering that old school supper club classic, Chicken Oscar. My dining companions went with chopped steak and chicken parmigiana. Everything was superb and the portions were so generous that we boxed up half to take home. For dessert, we wanted something a bit lighter than their caloric classics. Although not on the menu, the kitchen gladly doled out 1-scoop ice cream sundaes (they can also prepare a gold brick sundae). The staff will not rush you. Plan on spending an entire evening here, soaking up the nostalgia. Don't miss the bar with its spectacular view of the lake. The retro Hobnob experience and Wisconsin's lower gas prices are a great incentive for us Illinoisans to dine here more often! read more

The food was delicious and tasted fresh, like it was cooked to order. The prices were very reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. I had the ribeye entree with salad and baked potato. The second entree was the baked chicken breast w/crab cakes on top and baked French onion soup and just ok au gratin potatoes. Overall, both dishes were amazing! The atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Low lighting. Kinda loud bc it was packed. Not one open seat. Bar. Patio area overlooking Lake Michigan. Table cloths kinda place...Reservations! Yes! Plz make reservations! The staff was friendly and attentive. The hostess was awesome! The overall experience of a "supper club" made us want to come back. read more

We had a wonderful experience here celebrating a special occasion. The atmosphere is fantastic, such a fun retro vibe, paired with beautiful views of Lake Michigan in the background. It made for a really memorable setting. Our group enjoyed a three-course meal, and overall it was a great experience. Our waitress was friendly, attentive, and checked in often without being overbearing, which we really appreciated. For appetizers, we ordered cheese curds, crab-stuffed mushrooms, and calamari. The cheese curds and calamari were great, but I would personally skip the stuffed mushrooms next time. Most of us ordered the filet, and it was cooked perfectly across the board, definitely a highlight of the meal. The sides (potatoes) were just okay, but the salads and French onion soup were absolutely outstanding. All in all, it was a great choice for our family to gather, celebrate, and enjoy a delicious meal together. We would definitely come back! read more

It's really hard not to like this place ~ despite it being a 30 year throwback. The decor. The menu. The atmosphere. But, when the service is quick and outstanding; the food is awesome; and you-just-may-think the 80's style is kept for a reason (and maintained) - you succumb and love this place. Did I mention the Lake Michigan views??? The food was great, loved the flavor of my ribeye and my client loved the Alfredo. It's deserved another visit, no question. read more

The atmosphere is awesome if you want perfect views of Lake Michigan and the decor was fashionable and quaint. Service was ok/good. The bartender seemed sarcastic or maybe crabby? And I recognize our server was busy with a large table, but timing wasn't great and we ended up waiting for our bill for at least 30 minutes. Loved that the meals provided a soup, salad and a potato. French onion was good, as was the garden salad, side of red potatoes were bland and nothing to brag about. Prime rib was good and tender, but not the most flavorful one I've ever had. It's out of the way for us so I'm not sure we'd be back unless we want a seat at the bar or patio with a view. Not worth the price for us otherwise. We really wanted to love it! read more

The food and service is good. The ambience isn't so great. If you're looking for a quiet relaxing meal, pass this place up!

Our first time at Hob Nob together with another couple visiting from out of town. What a disappointment! We are familiar with the supper club circuit throughout the Milwaukee area and were looking forward to a great new experience at Hob Nob because our friends highly recommended it. The building and interior are of a classy, cozy supper club and the location on the lakefront is stunning. Unfortunately, that's where all the good things ended. From our check-in with the unsmiling, unwelcoming hostess, to our waitress who was grossly inexperienced for a fine dining establishment, and the mediocre food, the entire experience was underwhelming and extremely disappointing for a restaurant of this caliber. There are certainly much better supper clubs in the Milwaukee area at equal and lower price points. Save yourself a trip and money and go somewhere else. read more

Was a great meal with a great view of Lake Michigan. Service was top notch. Really a pleasure. Took my friend out for his birthday. No notes. read more

Nine of us celebrated my son's 33rd birthday last night. Though the waitress did her best she was spread too thin. The hostess eventually came to clear our half full plates because the food was less than good. I would not recommend this run down restaurant. read more

The vibes, services and views are 5/5! Definitely worth a visit just to see the views of Lake Michigan and the beautiful and unique decor of the hob nob. I ordered a cosmo and it was just ok - tasted a bit sweet and not quite as cold as I like. I ordered wine next and got an extremely generous pour! The bartenders were so sweet and attentive. read more

No complimentary relish tray (there's a charge), which is typically provided at supper clubs, had to ask for bread, ordered an expensive cut of steak and something cheaper was served! Thought we wouldn't know... we were credited for that meal. Wait staff did a great job, friendly and attentive. Nice to see Lake Michigan, perfect view! read more

Great location on Lake Michigan , not many on the lake itself , views are outstanding , food also fantastic , prime rib so big hard to finish. Wonderful drinks at the bar overlooking the lake ! A little pricy but worth a visit for a special occasion. read more

LINDA WAS AWESOME!!! We loved the Hobnob and had a hoot and a half. Special shout out to Linda the bartender for starting our night off right with excellent drinks and going above and beyond to help document our special night as a wonderful photographer read more

We looked forward to visiting this classic supper club since we were going to be in the area overnight. We had a reservation for early on a Friday evening and were seated in the section with a nice view of the lake. Our server was attentive though did not do as much to explain the menu and specials as we heard from other nearby servers. I started with an old fashioned since that is always my first test of a Wisconsin supper club. It was just OK - actually it tasted a bit weak. We decided to opt for their fish fry since it had been awhile since we had one. This turned out to be one of the cheaper entrees on a menu with items up to $116! Not a cheap place to dine. The nice thing is you got soup, salad and a potato as part of the meal along with a dinner roll. I did like the spinach salad with the hot bacon dressing - very good. They did offer the French onion soup without the melted cheese as one of the regular soups which was nice. If you wanted it the traditional way it was another $8 - ouch! The fish fry was solid though my wife thought her fish was a bit rubbery. The fries needed to be more crisp since they were soggy though well spiced. We decide to splurge and spend $16 for their brandy Alexander dessert drink. It was a tower of ice cream - it was good but had very little brandy flavor. Not sure it was worth it. Despite them making a big deal in their menu about having a leisurely meal of 1.5 to 2.5 hours we were on track of being out of there in under an hour since the food was flying out of the kitchen. That was until we ordered our dessert drink which we waited nearly 20 minutes for. Hmmm. When we left we realized that if you really want a party scene you need to dine in the bar area. It was loud and festive with live music and a much funkier decor. We were fine where we sat. So overall I was expecting more. Perhaps unfairly we were just at Ishnala the previous month and it is hard to live up to that supper club. read more

Meh.... Really wanted to love this place, but unfortunately dinner fell way short. 2 of us had the scallops, which the waitress offered that they also make the pan seared as well. 5 tiny scallops about the size of a nickel. Way overcooked, rubbery and fishy, extremely disappointing for a supper club and the price. Another at our table also had the filet, which was a sad cut. A fourth had the whitefish, which he said was on the bland side. The atmosphere and views were great. Service was also great, just wish the main entrees would have been a lot better. Not enough of an experience to make us come back. read more

Amazing venue and perfect service. Thank you Guadalupe! Food was good but not great. Solid French onion soup and salad were spot on. Chicken Parnassian was delicious and a generous portion. My garlic shrimp and au gratin potatoes were just meh. The potatoes were extremely mushy and lacked salt. There were only a few shrimp and lacked seasoning. Presentation was sad. Just shrimp in a small plat on a larger plate. Can't believe that meal cost $39! Will get something else next time. Way too overpriced for what you got. The rest of the prices were fair. read more

HOBNOB - Brandy Alexander ice cream drink/dessert. - Supper Clubs Near Me - Racine, Wisconsin

We visit Hobnob a few times every year for the past 20 years or so. The atmosphere is good; a throwback to the past. The cocktails are typically very good. Sadly, the food is poor excuse for what it once was. Incredibly overpriced steaks for the relative quality. Medium rare prime rib was rubbery-tough and over-salted. Filet was lean and dry. Lamb shank tasted like heavily mineralized dirt. And the schnitzel was soggy and bland. Throw in $6 upcharges for unimpressive baked French onion and $6 more for a stick of butter in the "loaded" mashed potatoes. Nearly $900 for 8 adults. No one left the Easter brunch impressed. We've spent small fortunes here. It's not worth it. 2 stars for atmosphere and cocktails. read more

My husband and I took his parents and grandma here to celebrate her 91st bday. Everyone was great, the hostess and waitress acknowledged Gma's bday and I had requested a window table and they gave us the best seat in the house (corner window). Gma doesn't eat a lot so she shared with my MIL. My husband and I ordered the ribeye, medium rare, and we both got ceasar salads and french onion soup. Personally I thought everything was okay but that may not be fair bc we are from Chicago and steaks are done differently there. My husband liked everything fine. My FIL got the grilled swordfish and said it was okay too. Overall I think it was fine, but idk if i'd go back. Fyi, 4 meals and 2 drinks ended up being $300, all in w tax and tip. read more

We were very excited to try the nostalgic supper club when traveling through the area. The atmosphere and decor are definitely the best feature of this restaurant. It's right on the water and uniquely decorated with a retro vibe. We had reservations and were seated immediately. Our hostess was nice and offered us a choice of tables. The restaurant was busy and the dining rooms were fairly loud- not the cozy environment we were hoping for. We started with old fashioners which were tasty. Our waitress to a while to get to us to order our meals. We started with the relish tray. It was dropped off at our table but no explanation of what the spreads were it was okay- mostly spicy peppers and probably not worth the $13. For our main meal we ordered steak in a skillet and a shrimp cocktail which I was having as the entree. We got the steak first. The veggies in the skillet were good but the steak was chewy with not much flavor- we ordered it medium rare. We were almost finished with the steak when the waitress brought out the shrimp. We were about to tell her we didn't want it. Wish we had told her it was a $17 shrimp cocktail with 4 medium shrimp with cocktail sauce that tasted like ketchup. All in all it was a just okay experience and in our opinion not worth the hype/price. read more

Food is hit or miss. Never was like that 12 yrs ago but it's not consistent period. Wish it was. Been going there since 1980

4.5 stars. A classic supper club right on the lake in Kenosha, though sadly due to dining on a Saturday night in February, we did not get to experience the spectacular lake views. Coat check is a nice touch, for the chilly winter nights and not having to drag your coat to your table. We made a reservation in advance but still had a little bit of a wait when we got there, so we hung out in the first room at the bar. Inside, this place looks like a design battle between old Hollywood glam, a drag queen, and a history buff --imagine velvet galore and comfortably chaotic, but from the outside, classic diner. Each room offers its own unique style, and we were seated in the one with large windows that would typically offer a view of the lake (though it was a bit too dark to enjoy it during our winter visit). The atmosphere was peaceful, which was great for our larger group, as we could hear each other without shouting. Our server, Christian, was attentive and made the experience even better. Now for the food, we started with oysters on the half shell, and most of the table opted for steaks -- filets, New York strips, and the famed cowboy ribeye. Each dinner (for chops and steaks) comes with your choice of soup, salad, and potatoes, with some premium upgrades available. Most of us chose the French onion soup, which came with extra cheese -- a delicious addition! The food was solid overall, though I wouldn't say there was anything particularly extraordinary, except for the classic way the courses were served. Based on reviews I'd read before coming, there were some complaints about the value versus the price, but with the three-course meal and side of potatoes, I felt I got my money's worth. For dessert, the table shared a variety of options, including an ice cream drink, flourless chocolate cake with ice cream, and tiramisu. We did try to get oysters Rockefeller and crème brulee but they were out for the night sadly. All in all, it was a great experience, and I would definitely dine here again. read more

Finally got to check this place out. I heard great things! We showed up about 20 minutes early for our reservation, so we made our way over to the bar. The bartender broke the ice by making everyone laugh and have a great time. After enjoying a couple cocktails we were seated, and ordered. Our food (prime rib) was experty prepared and our beverages were beautifully made. The staff were very professional and courteous. The building is gorgeous, sitting just on the edge of lake Michigan, with big windows looking out onto the water. definitely a return trip. read more

The Hob Nob has long been a favorite place of mine for special occasions but unfortunately they are not as fabulous as they used to be. On a recent dinner my party was seated far far back in a dark corner despite making reservations well in advance. It was so dark we couldn't see the menu let alone the Lake Michigan views, the beautiful bar or the live music. It was also extremely hot!!! Our waitress was not trained so we spent hours waiting for everything . Big disappointment considering Hob Nob prices! read more

I'm a sucker for Wisconsin supper clubs--Especially if they have an awesome view and a small jazz band playing. Seriously, what's not to like? This place is both clean and dark. My wife commented on this fact which is important because dark restaurants sometimes hide their flaws in their darkness. Not here. The place was great-- all the stuff. Mirrored walls, dressed up wait staff, fish fry and prime rib as well as an impressive Wisconsin old fashioned. We had crab cakes and filet both were excellent but there was so much food-- it really feels like a bargain. Bread & butter, salad, soup, potato and then your entree. Holy hell for 4 drinks, 2 entrees plus the outstanding calamari (we didn't need) we were in for only $150. AND, we got some fun photos outside. Cool unique place- great service, terrific food and one of a kind setting. Next time we will try the pink squirrel!! read more

Great atmosphere and service. The lamb shank was amazing except there were just 2 small red potatoes. Usually not a huge lamb fan but I would definitely get this again. The swordfish had very good flavor but it was a small portion and was also very thin. read more

New management and not nearly as good as it was before. We had a reservation for a birthday dinner at 6:30 on a Saturday night. We arrived about 2 minutes late but were told our table still wasn't ready. They offered for us to go to the bar, but the area was pretty full for people dining and those already at the bar that it was tough for 5 people. Plus, it took a while before we got drinks. Thankfully, we were seated within about 5-10 min. When our server stopped by, she advised they were already out of prime rib. Okay, stuff happens. When asked about appetizers, we placed an order of the gorgonzola garlic bread. Our server came back after a while saying they were out of that as well. This is a favorite for the birthday boy and one of the reasons we came so second tough blow for the night. We got some bread but no butter and had to ask another server as ours disappeared for a while. We got our ice cold salads which were plain and meh. Balsamic was a dressing option, but really, it's just a bottle of balsamic vinegar. We were able to get a bottle of oil so we could make our own dressing, but it didn't do much to dress up the bland salad. The one thing we liked was the french onion crock. The entrees were just okay. For the prices you're paying, it doesn't seem worth it. The filet was one of the worst my husband had. Not cooked right, lacking flavor and low quality (lot of gristle for a filet). The salmon was okay but not worth the price, honestly. The baked potato on the side was pretty small compared to most supper clubs we've been to. The ambiance is great. They have live music in the bar some nights when we've gone and the place looks cool. But, that doesn't make up for lackluster food and mediocre service. I will actively avoid this place going forward. read more

One of the best experiences on this trip. Leslie the manager and Connor the waiter were exceptional. Mike one of the line cooks showed me around. We had the traditional trade to start with and escargot. The foie gras was unbelievable. The escargot were good. All three of us had the baked French onion soup, which was delicious. We ordered the Wienerschnitzel, crabcakes, and braised lamb shank. They were all excellent. If you are going, you must have one of their dessert, ice cream drinks. It'll top the night off perfectly read more

Went for brunch and it was not good. It is spring and they serve frozen, limp, gross strawberries on their waffles! Not acceptable. Please serve fresh fruit or at least indicate in your menu that all fruit being used is frozen and not fresh! This restaurant needs to "step up its game." I ask the management to please eat the food being served in your restaurant and judge for yourselves if it is fresh, tasty, and looks to be something you would like to eat. This waffle fails in all categories! Very disappointing! read more

Everything was perfect! We made a reservation for my husbands birthday for a Sunday night. Our server was very attentive and made sure we were happy. My husband and son had the Prime Rib (excellent) - I had the Fettuccine Alfredo with Shrimp and my sister had the Stuffed Pork Chop - every entree was delicious. We left a little room for their yummy deserts - oh and I can't forget to mention the wine we enjoyed with our meal. Thank you again for another memorable evening. read more

"On my latest visit to HOBNOB, I opted for something off-menu--the elusive Icelandic Martini--and wow. It arrived in a frosty, aquamarine-hued glass, sparkling under the supper club's warm lighting. The first sip was pure revelation: crisp, delicate, with a gentle floral-citrus lift and a clean finish that felt like a cool breeze off Lake Michigan. It was unexpected, elegant, and downright addictive--easily one of the most creative cocktails I've ever had at a Wisconsin supper club." read more

Okay, so great. Looking for a supper club? This is the place. Great atmosphere, nostalgic to simpler times. A sense of wedding reception, upscale, as fancy as you want to make it. Great food! We had bruschetta (great proportions), French onion soup, house salad, and scallops (for her) and ribeye steak (for me). So lovely, great for a date night, a fancy night out or a special celebration. Check it out! read more

My wife and I enjoyed a wonderful dinner with another couple. Food was good but portion size vs. price did shock us a bit. Service was ok only knock was when we mentioned that our martinis were served warm, Our waitress said the glasses must have just came out of the dishwasher and were probably still hot. We let it go and asked for a couple of glasses of ice. Dessert was good. All in all it was a nice evening out. read more

I wanna love this place but it's hard. Walk in and it's super old school. Coat check and all. Loved the vibe. Bar is so cool!! Bartenders top notch. Old fashions- potent. Cool experience waiting for the table. Got to the table and side room was okay. Ordered steaks salad and French onion soup. Baked French onion soup was an out of body experience. Salad was okay enjoyed the house made dressing. Steak was very peppery, prime rib was more fat than meat. Wife's steak was Pittsburg blue not a medium rare. If you're gonna have a $50 steak the expectation is excellence and sadly didn't live up to the standards. Twice baked potato very good but peppery. Served was slammed but not super attentive to us. All n all I would come back in the next 5 years but not in the next year. Cool place love the vibe but not some place I need to go for awhile read more
