Nothing but the best service ,food, and seating! Especially great haddock on fridays!

Yeah I'm hooked. This place is so amazing. The service is some of the best and most accommodating in the Fox Valley and Mark the owner is a machine, I swear. I gladly recommend this place to those looking for a good lunch, a good dinner, or a good drink. The Reuben sandwich is something I will dream about. Unfortunately it is a 20 min. drive from our house one way, but we will make the trip as often as our schedules allow. read more

Great food, and great service! These guys know what it takes to keep people coming back!

The food is always hand made, good, and the restaurant vibe is nice I especially love the hot bacon dressing on my spinach salads as well

OMGosh!!! I'm not necessarily a salad person but some friends lifted me some Marks Eastside Bacon Salad Dressing and oh my gosh!!! I got some baby spinach, sliced some onion, added a hard boiled egg and topped it off with Mark's Bacon Dressing! Best Salad I've ever had in my life!!! It's gone and I live in Las Vegas. (I used to live in Appleton). I want more!!! read more

I had the chance to have a lunch meeting here. Great fish fry (I had the perch). The place inside is what you expect, that classic supper club feel. The crowd was also very "seasoned". read more

I'm sad to rate this one star as the food has always been exceptional..BUT I, and many others, have repeatedly asked for the light bulb lighting the entrance to be replaced. Last week when we ate there again I asked the hostess again to please relay the message about the unsafe lighting. Her reply was "we give the owner this message frequently but nothing changes". The owners lack of concern about his customers safety doesn't seem to be due to financial issues, as his business is booming. Apparently he just doesn't give a hoot about our safety. VERY SAD! read more

Their food is awesome. Their service is awesome. It's romantic it's clean good quality a lot of good stuff .I know a lot of people that work there. read more

Great food. Great selections. Friendly staff. Really enjoyed the history of the place and the atmosphere.

Food is always delicious and they add new things to the menu to try. They always put the customer first. We were there before Christmas and they offered some seasonal alcoholic and nonalcoholic drinks. We both tried one and they were impressive. If you are looking for a place to eat, Mark's will never disappoint you. I have never had a bad meal there and the staff is always friendly. read more

Friday fish fry! Service is efficient. I love their drive up, take out! The waitstaff have fun dressing for all sorts of occasions. Fun atmosphere where employees seem to be enjoying their work. read more

Love Marks East Side. As a person who can't eat wheat, I truly appreciate their gluten-free options and dedicated fryer.

What a great place! We had been meaning to come for our first visit over the past several months. I was not sure if they took reservations and emailed the restaurant. Mark responded right away (super fast) and confirmed that they take reservations every day except Friday (which other Yelp reviewers said Friday is THE busiest night for dining). We came tonight (Wednesday) and started with drinks at the spacious bar served by Cassandra and Clinton. The Old Fashioned was superb and the German Manhattan was a novel bit of goodness. Everyone at the bar was friendly and welcoming. We relaxed over drinks (2 rounds) and then headed into the main dining room for dinner. Sheri was our server and she suggested the appetizer of German sausage sampler and a complimentary tasting treat of the sauerkraut balls. The sausage platter came with three types of cooked wurst with carmelized onions, crostini, and German mustard. All the flavors were spot on. The fried sauerkraut balls with sauce must be a Mark's specialty--tasty and fun. For entrees we ordered the Tenderloin Stroganoff and the Kasseler Rippchen (juicy smoked grilled pork chops) along with delicious red cabbage and a split of spaetzle and dumplings. The portions were so abundant that we had to take some home. The service was impeccable and attentive despite a large crowd (almost every table was filled). Every dish was a wonderful blend of flavors. We will definitely return with other friends for another fun evening. Every member of staff was friendly and it shows that Mark sets the standard and the example for attentive service. read more

I have eaten here for years. Classic supper club fare, easy going. Packer games, old fashions, and fried Perch. Yum!

Friday night.... menu changes to a fish fry plus a limited number of entries available. A group of six of us went, one getting the fish fry and it wasn't bad. There are for sure better fish fry options in the area. I had the ribeye which was cooked and seasoned very well. We also have had the schnitzel here. It's not that great to be honest. The drinks are on point. I honestly think looking back at our night that the wait was the best part, because the drinks were great. The main courses were mediocre. Enjoyed some sauerkraut balls which were good. There also was the German potato salad and the hot bacon dressing which were both AWESOME. This place does a few things very well, but comes up short on the main course delivery. Wait times can be excessive. They have no problem if you show up in person and put your name on the list. However you can't call ahead or make a reservation. So I drove up and got a number. 1.5 hour wait time. Went back home and picked up my family and went back and had drinks. Probably won't go back for food, much better places to eat in the area. Would 100% go back for drinks. An honest 3.5 star rating rounded up to 4 for the bacon dressing! read more

My sister and I went to Marks for the first time yesterday. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Both of us ordered the Ribeye ala Oscar. The meal was fantastic. The bartender, and waitstaff were very nice. Overall, a wonderful experience. Will definitely return. read more

Had a wonderful experience at Mark's East Side! Our waitress was so friendly and made our dining even more enjoyable. We told her it was our first time and she gave us a free sample of the sauerkraut ball appetizer and at the end gave us a $10 gift certificate for our next visit! Along with the kraut balls, we had a Scotch Egg as an appetizer. Very interesting'. It's an egg wrapped. In bacon, deep fried and served with kraut and mustard. Definitely worth a try! Clam chowder was full of clams and quite tasty, and the steaks melted in your mouth. Didn't have room for desert but we had some anyway! Shared a Jack Daniels Pecan Pie. Very sweet, but the whiskey flavor and the vanilla bean ice cream fit very well. I did find it interesting that the theme of the restaurant was Irish, but many of the meals seemed to be German based. Which is okay with me... I love both! read more

Nice salad bar. Food was average. Service was great. I need 85 characters and I have nothing more to say.

Very spotty experience for my wife and I. Sat in bar and got the haystack onions, which were great. Server in the bar area was also great. Unfortunately, we moved into the restaurant. Waited quite a while for our server and it pertained of things to come. Ordered the Friday fish fry which is haddock. Came out warm but not hot and every piece was somewhat dry and rubbery. Fries were good as was the Cole slaw, once our food came, we didn't see our server again until I had to ask her for the check. I'll try somewhere else next time. read more

Mark's ....as always, super crowded but what a classic, with rich ambience and good food!

Only a locals favorite. Just average service and food at best. Never understood the draw

It's a nice supper club. If it is a Friday or Saturday be prepared for a busy bar & a long wait. Service is usually good. Good Wisconsin supper club food;) read more

This is by far my favorite place for a fish fry. We lived in the area for 4 years before moving back to Texas, but visited here often. The bar area is a nice size and they make some stout drinks. The brandy-old fashioned with cherries is great. The perch is perfectly breaded and has excellent flavor. The German potato salad is my favorite side. The staff is super attentive and friendly. Can't wait to come back and visit. read more

Wonderful staff, amazing food, our customers love the catering lunches from a local business, thank you for all you do.

I was pleasantly surprised by Marks East Side. The food quality and portions were very good and well priced. I opted for the Schweineschnitzel which was cooked very well and got Spaetzel which was done just right. Often times I find it over cooked but Mark's East Side really did it well. The red cabbage was a bit sweet but it was still good. I enjoyed their French Onion Soup although it was a few grains saltier than I would have liked. It was too bad they didn't have Spezi but it can be hard to find. Overall, I wouldn't say this reminded me of when I lived in Germany, but the food and service were very good! read more

Also come back when I'm in town. Love the French onion soup, great flavor and cheesy! I had my go to dinner which is the jaegerschnitzel. Love the mushroom sauce and spatzle as the side. Service is always great, as a single diner who travels I never feel rushed. read more

Busy place, loud, but excellent food. French onion soup may seem common, but this was the best French onion soup I've ever had. Cheese curds and onion haystack were both delicious. Friendly staff, make reservations! read more

Great everything especially gluten free options! Also, had n/a beer which was nice for someone in our group.

I ordered the 2 crab cake dinner. I should have sent it back. It had all the appearances of having been cooked the day before and reheated. It was not tasty at all. What a waste and it cost $25.00. read more

Very solid supper club with deep menu choices. Very good bar and service for cocktails before or after. Love the steak & seafood choices plus German based dinners. Price matches the quality with professional & friendly service read more

Very authentic German food! Had the full order (don't get the half order, even if you're not that hungry) of Wiener Schnitzel, spaetzel, and sauerkraut. Comes with soup or salad. Got the beef and barley soup. Very tasty! The service was good, as was the overall ambience. Anyway........this place certainly did not disappoint. read more

Great food, great Old Fashioned . One of the best in the valley for sure. Usually a bit of a wait but we'll worth it

Went here for our anniversary. What a GREAT place. excellent service, and food was cooked to perfection. We WILL be back....

Love the ambiance here every time. We dont mind waiting in the bar, the atmosphere is super cozy. We stopped in for some amazing french onion soup, a couple drinks, oh and some olives. We love green olives. Can you tell? We had an awesome waitress and a great experience even if it wasnt for a big dinner. We always come back. read more

This was our first time at Mark's East side. Our experience was excellent! All of the staff was very friendly and inviting. We ordered the all you can eat haddock fish fry. It came with coleslaw, french fries, and a dinner roll. The fish had a very light batter which was very delicious. I would highly recommend this place to anyone. We will definitely be coming back.

This restaurant never disappoints. We've been coming here every year when we're in Oshkosh for the air show. The food is amazing and the service is always excellent. Can't wait to come back next year. I was in charge of making dinner reservations for our party of 20. Working with Alex was a pleasure!! read more

This place is a cool, eclectic, established family restaurant. It is a classy dining establishment that is both casual and old school elegant. Started with the sausage sampler for an appetizer. French onion soup and the wedge were served perfectly. Mark is an excellent chef and has an awesome menu with a German flair. The Filet Mignon is the very best beef I have had in my life. Aged 21 days, corn fed, Wisconsin steak! Cooked to medium rare perfection, and very tender. Onion rings on the side and a nice bottle of cab. Niki and Liz is are excellent servers and will take great care of you. She suggested the onion rings as I'm on the low carb diet, and they were delicious. Unfortunately we did not try the dessert due to that stupid diet. If you're at Oshkosh or visiting this part of the country - do not miss this place!! read more
