    Not sure what has happened to this place but it has taken a down turn. Ordered an old fashioned which was fizzy! What?! Ordered blackened salmon that was totally over cooked. Ordered a baked potato which they were out of and they just gave me fries which I didn't want. And I had to hunt down a waitress for this fine meal. The view is nice and if your order beer and fried pickle chips you are set. Just don't expect much else.

    Don't let the other reviews scare you away. Went in a Sunday. Was greeted immediately by the waitress and amazing bartender. Got our drinks and went to patio. Old fashion was hand muddled. A bit on the sweet side but still good. Malbec wine was available. Deep fried mushrooms are amazing. Ordered fried chicken special and husband got steak. Asked for all white meat and no issues at all. Meal was delicious. Steak was a bit on the raw side though. After dinner drinks were spot on. Service was incredible and attentive. This might end up being a usual haunt for us!

    Medium rare perfection.

    We been to probably every restaurant North of the Dells on both sides of the lake. Nothing is even close to Carlson's Prime rib. It's the only thing I've had there and will only go there next time I'm in the area. It's legit!

    We went to this place with quite the view on the lake! Service was awesome and food was great! Everything was wonderful. A few of us got the 'Heidleburger' and everyone would recommend it! Would definitely come back

    This place is an institution on Castle Rock Lake, and does simple food well. They have a great fish fry, and buffet most Fridays. The portions are large and the prices are very reasonable; five of us had dinner for $90! That was with two of us having the all you can eat seafood buffets. The fried chicken is awesome, and must come from some mutant chicken, the pieces are huge. You will definitely not walk away still hungry, and the view of the lake is mesmerizing. It has all the things you want in a traditional Wisconsin supper club, it just feels like Wisconsin.

    The Friday Fish Fry ($9.99) is very good. It comes with choice of potato, I got the cheesy baked potato. The huge salad bar is $3.99 extra and has a different soup every day, usually seafood chowder on Fridays. My advice if you are going on a Friday night is to stick with the cod fish fry, the Friday night seafood buffet is too heavy on fried items, and I don't like the seafood pasta in a thick cream sauce, the boring tube pasta with red sauce or the corn sitting in water for a vegetable. They have a large main bar in the restaurant with big screen TVs and adjacent outdoor seating with a nice view of Castle Rock Lake. Also they have an outdoor bar open in the summer called Costa Ricky's, which offers a fun casual atmosphere. Some more comfortable seating besides picnic tables would be nice.

    Took about an hour to get our food. It was mediocre at best. Will not be returning sadly

    Spot in the woods we found out in early summer of 2025 was under new ownership. We have always…read moreenjoyed this establishment! Great pizza, fish fry & there fresh cut fries! Yummy!! So we headed on in like always-well, the new owner is basically a bar fly! We were the Only Customers and she couldn't even take our order! To busy talking to her teen children who were working/cooking. Finally got our pizza. Had to ask for napkins and paper plates. She told us "oh there usually on the tables " Pizza was pretty good. Then we had to flag the bar fly down Again just to pay!! Skip ahead to March 2026 thought we'd give them another chance. Fish Fry this time. Hmm, fish was definitely Hot but not as tasty as the previous owners served. Came in an old warped plastic basket w/mini portion of coleslaw (not the best), fries or baked potato( was 4pm-told us no baked til after 5) menu states after 3pm. Then server comes back and says, " oh I didn't know we had baked potatoes now, thought not til 5) Maybe server should know what the heck they are serving! Also, special was shrimp (which server said they were out of) glad I didn't want any. Also, heard the cook saying, "we only have 1 bag of fish left"!! WOW on a Friday night in Wisconsin during LENT!! Of course the Bar fly female owner was there playing slot video games and cackling! She informed the server that the woman's bathroom needed TP! That there was barely enough for her to use. Which tells me she used the last of it and couldn't be bothered to replace it!!! Lazy Boozy Bitch!! My adult children and inlaws tried dinner mud summer 2025- half the menu wasn't available!! They claimed the supply truck hadn't arrived yet. Needless to say they won't waste there time going again. And I would have to say the same. I have recommended this place to many people. Now I have regrets. I will now let them know NOT to waste their time & money.

    Last week was the third time we walked out without getting served. The guy will look right at you…read morebut doesn't knowledge or wait on you. I'll spend my money at another establishment that serves and knowledges all customers!
