We were recommended Plow by a friend. He is normally a very picky person...and he visited multiple times. First off I loved the atmosphere. Very neat old building. Unfortunately we never made it out of the bar to sit in the dining room! We called for reservations and were told never more than a 15-20 minute wait. When we got there at 6 pm (Friday night) we had a few names ahead of us. After 30 minutes we opted to just eat at the bar. The food was good but service was not (a lady next to us left the bar after waiting 10 minutes w/o getting served)! We believe they were short staffed but we were never told that by anyone. We'll give it another shot at some point...but I expect better from a nicer restaurant!

Still trying to be a fan of this restaurant-really! A Parade of Homes site is right down the road from The Plow. A no brainer to attract customers . Yet when we get there (along with a few other customers) we are greeted at the door telling us they're closed between 2-4 to "turn over" for dinner. SAY WHAT? Are you kidding... it is a beautiful Saturday with parade of homes right down the street, you have a gorgeous patio and you say you're closed and turn people away. Unbelievable. Since I'm a complete glutton for punishment and go back after 4 o'clock...and was again greeted at the door along with other couples and they said that they couldn't feed anyone for a couple hours because they had a private party going on upstairs and turn people away AGAIN. We asked if we could have a drink on the patio and they reluctantly said yes. We had one horrible drink on the patio and no one in the 45 minutes we were out there came out to see how we were doing or update us on where they were in terms of serving food at their so-called restaurant. The beautiful patio is very unkept with weeds growing everywhere broken lanterns and just overall sloppiness. My advice is to walk across the street to the Keystone where you will get great food at decent prices and a friendly smile. Or drive down the street to the Sports Page or Lake Ripley Inn.

Our first dining experience in Cambridge, WI! We had excellent coffee across the street at Kindfolk and read the mostly positive reviews for the Plow. We ate a late lunch at the bar and the service was friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is a combination of rural farm and contemporary bar, and there's a roaring fire going inside the pizza oven. I ordered the steak & blue cheese flatbread made in that same oven. It was perfect. I also enjoyed a Manhattan made with local-ish Limosin rye. It was also excellent. My date had the crispy chicken sandwich which looked delicious and I'm told tasted even better. It was served with potato salad which looked pretty good. She said it was fine. The only minor downside to the experience were the potatoes served as a side to her sandwich. They were soaking in the oil too long and were dark brown and greasy. Since she wasn't expecting them, she wasn't disappointed at all and they went uneaten. This led us to a discussion of "jo-jos" and whether these qualified as such. I don't think they did. As we were finishing, the owner (I think) offered us a taste of his pumpkin pie whipped cream. It was especially delicious and was a really cool thing to try as he was just perfecting the recipe. Overall, this was an enjoyable experience and I look forward to trying a few more items on our next visit.

Incredibly slow service. Took 25 minutes to get a drink. Staff was friendly but just did not seem experienced. Will not go back.

Our sever Cheryl was fantastic. Food was top notch - we had…read morethe oysters for an app along with the wagyu. Entrees were the seafood platter and 60 day dry aged bone in ribeye. This is old school steakhouse. The wine list is impressive for the area. Awesome desserts as well. We sat out on covered outside patio with the water flowing alongside. Always busy - get reservations

Pros: -Great steaks…read more-Good ambiance -Service has always been excellent -Steaks have always been cooked correctly as ordered Cons: -Tables are packed pretty close together -Can be loud in the main dining room This is probably a 4.5 star review as opposed to a 4 star, but I rounded down based on a couple of places that are truly 5 star compared to Palmer's. Great place for a special occasion, but they don't hit it out of the ballpark every time...maybe 4 out of 5 (hence 4 stars). The food at Palmer's has always been very good. My wife and I have only ever had steak here as entrees. My go to is a med-rare ribeye and my wife always goes with a mid-well filet butterflied (I know, I know...shaking my head as I type that). They also have a really good tomato and fresh mozzarella salad that is a great starter (the balsamic is what makes it stand out). Service here is pretty spot on the majority of the time and all of the people that we have interacted with have been friendly. It can get relatively loud if you are sitting in the main dining room area, and this is where we have always been seated.
