Then. immediately three steps, then another door with a stronger door closer. Finally into the restaurant, immediately find the long bar.

There were four tables yet it took us almost 15 minutes to place an order and it seemed to take forever to get our food. We walked in at 7:45, ordered a simple breakfast of eggs hash browns and meat and at 9 we were begging for a check so we could get going as we were already late for our convention.... the one waitress had to handle all of the tables in the restaurant as well as delivering food for room service. Very poor staffing on their behalf. The manager was cleaning off tables and doing other things rather than helping her with taking orders and delivering food. There was no one waiting for a table and there were plenty of clean tables that could be seated if anyone happened to come in. The waitress was very nice but you could see she was overwhelmed. The food was okay, nothing special but if there had been another option close by we probably would go there in the future for breakfast...

No free refills on soda was a big surprise, and $14.25 was a lot to pay for 6 "jumbo" shrimp that were actually pretty small, a small helping of fries, and a piece of pre-buttered bread that was soaked in butter and basically inedible. The baked French onion soup was really good. My husband's old fashioned was strong and decently priced, but only okay flavor-wise...no muddled fruit. (Try Savory Steakhouse in Kellner or Mikey's in Plover for an excellent old fashioned.) Service was also only okay. Waitress was competent but but great. She asked if I wanted my soup ahead of my meal and I said yes. It was delivered about 90 seconds before the food came, so my meal was lukewarm by the time I ate it. I know this might but be the waitress's fault, but there was a breakdown somewhere along the line. Atmosphere is very weird. The bar area feels like 1975, and the dining room looks like a BBQ restaurant with its red-and-white checked tablecloths and captains chairs. We'll probably be back for reasonably priced drinks, but not a meal.

Growing up, the Mead Hotel was the height of excellence in Wisconsin Rapids. Over the years it's…read morestarting to show its age, but I do think the new owners are working to improve it. I have stayed there at least four times over the last year and have generally been pleased. On the line, the rooms I have stayed in have been spacious. I like having the sink outside the bedroom. I appreciate a luggage rack, bathroom, and slippers in every room. It is excellent that they have a Roku set up with the televisions so that you can broadcast from your phone or computer. The morning breakfast has been excellent. Great selection, and attentive service. It's not perfect - I think that they need to continue updating the rooms and management should check in on the rooms once in a while. I will stay there again however! .

The reserved room was unavailable and no suitable replacement was given. (I reserved a family…read moresuite, was given a smaller room with 2 queen beds). The girl at the front desk (Olivia) during check in was not polite and very short and rude in her replies. The a/c and heat unit did not work, and instead the window was covered with cardboard and a portable a/c unit, but not well installed and allowed bugs in. I would not use the portable a/c as the filter is very dirty. There is also a ton of chipping paint. The bathroom exhaust fan doesn't work, even after the manager said maintenance would check it out. After addressing all these concerns the manager (a man, maybe Josh Patel) did offer a discount but since it was booked through hotels.com he said he had to submit them to refund partially, but said no other rooms available. However on the app there are multiple double Queen rooms available, which would at least be cleaner and in better order, so I feel I was lied to. I also feel like the rooms are not cleaned well. I do have pictures of all the noted concerns. Breakfast was average, but nice that it was free. The girl at checkout was kind but my credit card was charged for an amenities fee, despite not being informed of this. After getting home and 2 days after partial refund promised, hotels.com still did not receive a request and neither they or I can reach a manager and they don't know when he'll be in. Overall I highly recommend you do NOT stay here and you look at another option, due to not receiving room reserved, uncleanliness, and management that doesn't value their customers and concerns.

Well, where to begin, this is our 3rd time there, so a review is justified. Steaks cooked to perfection. Fish is obviously wild caught and seasoned nicely.... Had the chicken piccatta and that sauce was amazing.... And we have noticed that the owner goes to almost every table and asks how things are and also removes plates to help his staff... This place has become our regular stop. read more

Ribs have just enough smoke to create the richness and flavor without overpowering the natural flavors produced slow cooking the meat. Sauce is a good compliment but not needed. service and drinks also above par. read more

I honestly most likely would not have noticed if it weren't for the brand new waiter giving our bill to the wrong table (who actually paid for it... what a mess!) By the time we got our bill we noticed that it seemed to be much higher than we expected. Waiter wasn't much help, so my wife asked for the menu. Sure enough! Prices were different! Manager explained that it says that prices may change right in the menu. Never heard that one before!! Plus no refills on tea or soda. (Not shared by waiter) I've driven past this place a number of times and thought that a "train car" restaurant was pretty cool. Made a note to try it out. In this evening there was a packer game starting at 7:20 so I thought it would be reasonable to think that we if we were seated by 6:15 I wouldn't miss much of the game. By the time we got our bill settled it was 8:15. And there were only 3 tables with customers! Crazy slow service and our food took forever. I also couldn't understand how the 2 tables seated well after us were done and long gone well before we were. Must have known I wanted to get out to watch the game! Food was on the low end of average. Service was weak, but it was his first week. Actually felt a little sorry for him. He got flustered when the bills got screwed up. Caught hell from those customers too. Made for a tough night for him. Thursday Night at prime eating time and there was one other couple in the whole restaurant when we walked in. 2 more couples came in later. The restaurant up the road was packed. Obviously a reason. Love to help small businesses, but this was just too bad of an experience to want to go back.

Inside, though, it starts to feel like someone's just given up. You're greeted by a messy hostess stand (why?) and other signals of a lack of attention (a bag of linens on a bar table?). The bar is cute enough, giving train car vibes but, like most of the restaurant, could use a good scrub. I'm not saying the place is dirty... but it's definitely sticky. Why are the bar table tips smeared? Shown to the dining room, the charm ends. Vinyl table coverings and laminated menues (both sticky) are anything but special (and like most laminated menus - it was inaccurate). On the positive side, after a wan "Caesar" salad, the steaks were quite good and perfectly cooked. Mine was accompanied with vegetables that still had tooth and were tasty. The prices are not for the faint of heart. Steaks hover around $50. While the plate itself was delicious, for this price I expect a much more special experience.

Everything was hot and fresh! The scrambled eggs were not lifeless and flat, for lack of better words they were fluffy. The hash browns were amazing too. I'm going to skip over to the breakfast sausages and bacon. Truly Amazing, the best I've ever had. I must admit that I did return to the buffet for an additional serving of both. It took much self control not to keep returning and continue grazing on sausage links and bacon. I would highly recommend the breakfast buffet and wish you luck on portion control.
