Tonight tried Springers for the first time. Good atmosphere. Dining on deck lakefront was very popular.' Baked fish very good. Smelt very bad, the breading was thicker than to fish. read more

Went there Saturday evening and had a nice time. Four of us had very good meals. Two prime rib dinners, one regular size and I had a queen size, both were exclent. One perch dinner that had six large portions of fish with a lighter batter and also very good. One had a BLT also very good. Conclusion, just go there and you will have a nice time and leave full and happy! read more

As someone not from WI, recently wanted to try the whole fish fry experience. Although mileage-wise, Springers is not far from Madison, it doesn't take long before you feel like you're in a more rural area. We went for dinner on a Friday last month, and because it is next to the lake, I wish I could have seen what it looked like during day time. Although there were other fish fry options for us, Springers is on the casual side and has the room to accommodate larger groups. The wait wasn't terribly long, and even the hostess wanted to watch the end of one of the March Madness games. I ordered the beer battered fish fry with a side of hash brown. While it was good and I would go again, there wasn't anything that stood out too much in particular. Service was friendly. Ample space for parking. read more

Great service from Annie! She was so accommodating. The coleslaw is sweet and delicious.

Awesome place very warm and friendly. Super friendly bar staff and welcoming. A classic lakeside fee. Absolutely love it

We came in on Friday night, were told there was an hour wait. That's fine. After we are seated, over an hour and a half later, we notice ther are 7 open table around us. So either they can clean and lay silverwear and glasses in less than a minute on 7, 4 person tables or their service sucks and they do not optimize the area they have to accommodate their customers. read more

Great place with fantastic service and food. It overlooks lake Kegonsa. The interior restaurant /bar is smoke free. They have a nice patio area where you can smoke outside. The food is wonderful, and you are served quickly. No complaints on this place. We will definitely go back again and again. read more

Went with a larger group on a Friday night. The food was just ok and the waitress was pretty much absent. We were just finishing our drinks and had paid when the manager told us they needed our table and we needed to leave so they could reuse our table. There were many empty tables so either we weren't drinking enough or we overstayed our welcome. Philosophy here: get their money first and kick them out quick. Nice summer views mean nothing when you are treated poorly because we will never go back. The prices were a little steep for the fish choices when we know comparable prices because we go somewhere different almost every Friday. ( PS the manager needs breathmints) read more

This is was my third visit to Springers in the last 9 months. It is also my last visit. What kills this place for me is the customer service or the lack thereof (with one exception at the end). Bar service - While the drinks are always decent, the bartenders are neither cordial or inviting. With as busy as they seem to be on a Friday night, I don't expect much, but one guy in particular always seems to have a chip on his shoulder and is a bit mouthy about it. Every time I've been there I've been unlucky in having to deal with him. The time spent at the bar is like being in purgatory with the knowledge that if I just bide my time I can move on to the dining room which is the light at the end of the tunnel. Host/hostess/manager - On my last visit we were told a 45 minute wait to be seated in the dining room. This wasn't a big deal because we expected it. Unfortunately 1.5 hours go by and we still hadn't been seated so we checked back in with the host/hostess. One explained that everyone on the list with their name crossed off, including ours, was called/seated. When it was obvious to them we hadn't been seated the other claimed our name was repeatedly called and we didn't come up. The manager even got involved and she shared a similar I-don't-care attitude as the host/hostess. At this point we felt hassled because not only did they not call our name but made it our fault. A customer focused response would have been to simply apologize for the inconvenience and seat our party as soon as possible. Maybe even throw in a free round of drinks to keep your customers happy. Dining room/wait staff - I have always had good service in the dining room. Food - The breaded and battered fish fry has always been really good. It is what drew me back to Springers a second and third time. In summary, Springers isn't someplace I would ever recommend nor will I ever go there again. The negatives about this place far outweigh the positives in my opinion. read more

We always like to come to Springers on Friday for their fish fry until a few weeks ago. We came to meet our friends and put our reservation in for four and went out to wait on the deck for our friends. The place was busy like it always is on a Friday and we were happy to have a drink and wait. When we went outside, there was one man band playing, it was good but very loud so we went to a table that was farther away and ordered drinks while waiting for our friends. When they arrived we had a drink and told the waitress we had reservations inside and asked if the fish fry was available outside and she said the fish fry was available, but it wouldn't include the salad bar or bread and that it came in a basket with fries or fry chips, no baked potatoes. So with those items not included we asked the waitress if it was cheaper, assuming the salad, rolls and potatoes were not included which she said of course. So we all ordered a fish basket with fries and more drinks. When our dinner came the fries were under cooked and soft. The fish was good and the it starting raining hard so we had to run inside with our basket and eat standing up, which was not a problem. The problem was when we got our bill we were charged $12.95 for a soggy fry and fish basket, the same price of what you would pay inside, out of the rain with a salad, rolls and baked potato. We asked the waitress why she charged is the inside price and she had to check with other waitresses and said they are the same price. We were very upset that she had lied to us before dinner where we could have waited for our reservations. On our way out I couldn't leave without speaking to someone higher up on how we were wronged. And spoke with one lady who confirmed they were the same price and the the head lady who really said the same thing and was rude talking and having fun with staff during our conversation. I think the customer service needs a refresher course on how to treat the guest who is spending $100 on dinner and drinks with their family and friends! An apology would have been a good start! We will definitely be looking for a fish fry with a fair price for either a sit down dinner with a salad or a fish basket elsewhere. Please..... Anyone heading to Springers for a Friday fish dinner please keep this in mind! read more

I wish I could give this place a 0 but it won't give me that option. Rudest owners I have ever encountered. Extremely unprofessional and doesn't like anyone who isn't a senior citizen.. will not be back. read more

Eating here as a vegetarian sucks. I know it's not a "vegetarian restaurant" but even McDonalds has better meatless options. Now they have sacked the Veggie burger (that was just a simple boca burger to begin with..but at least it was something.) If the Veggie Burger was returned, I'd at least give it 2-3 stars again. The sides with the meal are pretty boring but I do like the free appetizer type food that comes out. read more

Could be four or five stars but for the service. We have gone here many times but if they don't closely supervise the teenagers working for them there are too many mishaps. read more

The staff are incredibly attentive and kind. The prime rib is delish and the best price around. Fish fry is top notch and also available on Wednesday's. Pulled pork is incredibly good. Outdoor lakeside seating and a friendly bar. Love this place!!!! read more

The prime rib was wonderful. Our waitstaff were fun and attentive. Great food at a good price!

The food is pretty rock solid with a notorious fish fry. Beyond that the service is mediocre at best and the drinks range from weak to horribly strong. Very little consistency and the overall bar atmosphere is rather boring due to the lack of customers and music. I would recommend this place if your in the are and look for an average meal. read more

Food was perfect and tasted fantastic. Hashbrowns with cheese and onion is the best side! The onions make It, nice caramelized onions, sauté perfectly. Only down side was we didn't have a salt shaker to start but we to one. read more

We ate here for the first time finally and loved sitting outside right next to the water! Our waitress was super friendly and helpful. Had the nachos (made from homemade potato chips) and they were to die for! read more

We live on the lake and have been here a few times. The dock gets full but we have parked there once. Fish fry is good and their seasoned fries are tasty. The outdoor seating is a plus as halverson's is not on the water direction and Springers is. The bar is large and the bartenders are friendly too. read more

Went here recently for breakfast, my wife and I were both pleasantly surprised. I had the prime rib and eggs which I thought was outstandinng for the price. The decor in the dining area leaves something to be desired but it's a Wisconsin bar on the lake, so it's worth a visit. read more

Way way way better than I anticipated...very peaceful relaxing view of lake kegonsa..wait staff was friendly and efficient and the food was really good..I had a bacon cheeseburger with curly fries...the burger was cooked perfectly and the curly fries, were quite possibly the best I have ever had in my life, and I consider myself a curly fry connoisseur. read more

Food was great and portions were huge! I had a veggie burger, and my husband had a bacon cheeseburger with curly fries. Service was underwhelming or I would have given 5 stars. Nice quaint place to eat by the water. read more

Stopped here for a beer and an appetizer. Location is great, outside sitting was great, service was a little slow but very good and friendly. The fried pickles were much nicer than expected. Would visit again for sure. read more

We decided to try Springers after quite awhile. Went for Friday fish fry. I got the 3 piece beer battered cod and my husband got the 10 oz tenderloin. The batter on my fish was soggy like it had been sitting awhile in its steam. The steak had not rested so it was sitting in blood. It was dry and tasted old. We were very disappointed. The waitress was very nice and attentive. read more

Bring your ear plugs and avoid the bar. Worst old fashioned I have ever had. Helen Keller could mix a better one...of which I had her deafness by the time I left because it was so dang noisy in the dining room. Salad was good... bagged lettuce with a nice mix of vegetables on top. Cold sugar -coated donut hole was an interesting accompaniment. Blue cheese dressing and a donut hole...hmmm...sign me up for more. Fish was great...hot and steamy...like a night I recently spend in Thailand. Great view of the lake. If you aren't into water...plenty of butt cheeks hanging out of the daisy dukes to enjoy amongst the wait staff. My oldest had a cherry Pepsi and a hot dog...he left happy. My youngest loved staring at the ceiling fan. So...lake, fish, butt cheeks...three thumbs up. Drinks, noise, donuts...not so much. read more

5 of us went for Friday fish last night. It was very busy and had planned on just going someplace else. However were told only a 30 minute wait so decided to stay. After an hour one of our party went to check and was told we were next. Several more names were called including people that arrived after us but we still waited. I went back to check again and noticed the list they were now using was not the same list that our name was originally written on. It appears they rewrite lists to accommodate more regulars than the occasional patron. Once we were seated the service was quick and the food was good. Will definitely will not bother going in next time parking lot is full. read more

I wish I could give zero stars. Completely unprofessional. Came before an hour before they closed and made a scene when I asked for a drink. Will not be going again. That's for sure. read more

4 of us had dinner there last Saturday night. Food very good, patio relaxing, drinks good, service very good...prices fair. HOWEVER, we were disappointed at the amount of spiders & webs on the outside of the bldg! especially under the awning above the door to the patio & all around the windows on the back side. Such a nice eating place, maybe you could have an exterminator come in a few times in the spring/summer/fall. All those Spiders & webs can be a real turnoff when eating :~ thanks for listening..... read more

The view is amazing (no matter ehat time of year), the staff are friendly and the food is great. I perfect lunch-hide-out! Though it is kida hard to find, you'll be glad when you get there. Nothing fancy, but certainly great! read more

We've been going to Springer's for years and have loved the Friday fish fry. Unfortunately, the past few times we have been very disappointed in the service and the food. We don't mind the long wait for a table, but waiting another hour once we are seated for our food and then it comes to the table cold makes this one of the worst experiences we've had in a long time. To top it off, there was another long wait for the bill. Two and a half to three hours for a couple of pieces of fish? I don't think so. It's going to be a long time, if ever, before we make it back to Springer's. read more

Food was mediocre at best, the service shocked me the most. My wife and I were told that the meal included soup and salad. When the bill came we were charged $4.00 per salad (which we were told were included in the meal), I asked to have the bill adjusted and was told to read the menu more closely when I return again. Well there won't be any returning to this place and judge for yourself if you go there to eat. read more

The service seemed a little slow but she was friendly. The fish tasted ok but I could tell that this was not made to order. The bottoms were separated from the fish and mushy when they came out. We were here around 5:30 and it wasn't super busy. Seemed as if they tried to get ahead for the night and cooked some before the order. The French fries were for sure ready to go before the order was up as they were warm at best when they came out and after one piece of fish, they were cold. Maybe an off night but would probably come back and give it another shot. read more

This is one of the best places I have found delicious prime rib made right. Old fashions included. Never had bad service or a bad meal after many years of dining there. Love going there and definitely a favorite of mine! read more

Pleasantly surprised. Great burgers. Excellent house-made chips. Perfect summer lakeside patio dining. We'll be back to try the breakfast burrito. read more

It is with regret I write this poor review of Springers. Steve (the owner) and I spoke regarding my concerns after our meal. He promised to refund our money. It never happened. So not only did I receive a very poorly prepared meal, I also received a very well prepared promise that was broken. Please be advised the Sunday Brunch is awful. read more

Very disappointed. The service was poor. Our waitress, a girl with dark brown hair and glasses (she never told us her name), was distant and unaware of our needs. She was more interested in standing at the bar and flirting with the bartenders, which was surprising due to the fact that my drink was made wrong twice. When brought to her attention, she became snotty and short. Very unprofessional and obnoxious. The owners were also sitting at the bar, seemingly drunk and without a care in the world as to what was going on around them. The dining rooms were dark and you could hear the juke box from the bar playing loudly, which was also unpleasant. The majority of the staff was teenagers, who not surprisingly, were more interested in standing around and talking to each other instead of doing their job. The young lady at the hostess station could not find our bill on their computer and we had to wait for one of the owners to come up and assist her. However, the food was great. My husband and I each had the stuffed shrimp with baked potatoes, very delicious. If it wasn't for the careless bar and dining room staff, the experience may have been better. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a nice night out. read more

Five of us tried the Fri. night fish fry two weeks ago. The board listing the specials said the meal was $8.95. A great deal. When our check came however, the price was $18.95. While we were eating someone "corrected" the price on the board but we were not informed. The meal was not worth $10 more per person. The tables were crammed together in the dining area and the noise level was so high we could not talk at our table without shouting. The location on the lake is beautiful but the food is not what it used to be. The 5 of us (all local) agree we have eaten our last meal at Springers. read more

Last fall I went to Springers with 3 girlfriends. We sat in the restaurant , one of only 2 tables at dinner time, for an hour before the food was delivered. The waitress was nice but dim and had trouble remembering to fill water, ask us if we needed anything. she disappeared for long periods of time and got the orders wrong. And the food was just terrible, really nearly inedible. A bad meal at a high price delivered incredibly slowly. My mom went there yesterday with her friend who wanted to buy her a meal. She reported how bad their experience was and how embarrassed she was on behalf of her friend. The waitress was unfriendly, rude, and the food was burned. Another fairly high priced but inedible meal this time served by a rude and brusque server who "plainly wished not to be there and could not wait for us to leave". I myself am never going back to Springers. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. It's a shame as it's a nice location and there are so few decent places to eat in the area. read more
