I've never had a bad meal at The Butterfly Club, and that history is exactly why I'm hoping they tighten a few things back up. The prime rib and shrimp was fantastic, no notes there. But the baked potato came out only warm and undercooked, and the French onion soup needs some attention: the onions weren't caramelized, so it lacked the rich depth that dish should have. None of this is a dealbreaker, and I'll be back. I'd just love to see them sweat the small stuff again rather than lean on nostalgia and their loyal regulars. Get those details right and this is easily a five-star spot. read more

The bar service was great! It was all downhill from there. My wife and I ordered seafood. I got the orange roughy. It was okay. The side of au gratin potatoes was at room temperature. My wife ordered cod with french fries. The cod was less than room temperature and the so were the fries. Our server came by to ask us how was the food, but didn't wait for an answer. When she did come by later we told her that the food was cold. She asked if we would like to have my wife's seafood dinner boxed up and we said no. The problem was with the attitude of the server. She didn't care. We didn't get a coupon for a different meal. Nothing. They took her meal off of our bill. All we got were the smug looks from the server we complained to management and the manager did nothing but tell us that we should have told her earlier. I have been told for decades that this was a great place to eat. I've been there four times now and twice the food was unacceptable. We will never go there again. read more

I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience was unacceptable. When we arrived, we were told we would have to wait because we didn't have reservations. That was understandable. What wasn't acceptable was what happened next. The hostess ignored us while seating approximately 15 other guests who arrived after we did. From what I could tell, they did not have reservations. At no time did the hostess acknowledge us again, ask us to be patient, or indicate that we were next. We were very reasonable and waited in the lobby. I then asked the hostess what the issue was, to which she said we had a table of five and that was why we were waiting. I respectfully told her that if she could seat 15 people, she could pull tables together for us. I also told her that how we were treated was not okay. She responded, "What do you want me to do?" I said she could have seated us and that the way she handled the situation was not acceptable. I told her we were leaving, and she said, "That's your decision". I told her again that how we were treated was not okay, and she said, "That's your decision, not my problem." As someone with an interracial family, the way we were treated left me questioning whether bias played a role. I can't say for certain that it did, but the experience was deeply upsetting and left us feeling unwelcome. Whether this was poor customer service, discrimination, or simply indifference, no guest should be treated this way. We left feeling disrespected and will not be returning. read more

We went to The Butterfly Supper Club in Beloit for my dad's birthday again, this time with a smaller party of four. We sat in the lounge area and took over a couple of small tables. We could hear the music from across the bar, and the views out back were still beautiful. Service was decent, but not great. It felt like we had to work a little too hard to get attention at times. The drinks were good, and my parents have their go-to favorites here, so we mostly let them guide the ordering. We had a mix of appetizers and drinks: ribs, cheese sticks, potato skins, and a double shrimp cocktail. Kim also got what I think was a grasshopper, but it came out more like a dish of green ice cream than the cocktail we expected. It was not bad and definitely did not go to waste, just not quite what we thought was coming. I do not know why, but with how busy and popular this place is, I always expect it to be better. Every time I want it to be a 5-star visit, I end up feeling like it is closer to a 3. The food is fine, the setting is nice, and I am glad my folks love it, but the overall experience never quite reaches the level I expect from a classic supper club. That said, I will absolutely go whenever my parents invite us. The time spent with them makes up for the parts that fall short. I just wish the food quality and service matched the view, the reputation, and the family tradition a little more consistently. read more

Party of 7 of us had dinner tonight at the Butterfly....fantastic meal, drinks and atmosphere! Steaks were delicious, sides tasted great, appetizers teased the palate. Old Fashions went down smoothly and the Grasshoppers were done right and finished our evening perfectly! Service was a bit slow but they had two huge parties going at the same time.... The Butterfly Club still has it! read more

This is a nice place with good service just north of the Illinois State Line in Wisconsin. Ambiance wise, you have "old steakhouse" vibes galore, but it stops there. The wine list is fair - they have some good wines at good price points. We selected a J Lohr Cabernet. The first thing served was their bread basket. It had two dinner rolls and two cinnamon rolls along with breadsticks. Quite good! My wife ordered their steak and 3 fried shrimp dinner. The waitress noted they got coconut shrimp, and provided a nice orange sauce with them, as well as the shrimp sauce. The steak was served with Au Jus/ I went for their 10 ounce Filet Mignon. Both of us selected a baked potato, and paid an upcharge for a cup of their baked French Onion Soup. The Baked French Onion soup threaded the needle between "too scalding hot to eat" and "not cooked enough to be hot" perfectly. The cheese and crouton over the top were PERFECT, the soup temperature was hot but not SCORCH your MOUTH hot - it was perfect! The steaks - well, not so good. We both ordered our steaks "medium rare" which is a warm red center. The best way to describe the steaks was just past rare, and not medium rare. Send them back? No, we don't do that. The baked potatoes were perfectly executed, cooked properly and were just great. The steaks were served on a bed of mushrooms (which I ate before I remembered the camera has to eat FIRST, sorry). For the filet, it wasn't as tender as I would have hoped for at the price point. They will also custom cut a filet or any cut of steak to your weight, shooting for 4 ounce increments, which is reasonable. Service was very good, the water glasses stayed filled, although we had to fill our own wine glasses. Dessert was Turtle Cheese Cake, which is a specialty of the location. It was quite good. The restaurant was comfortable - we ate with our coats off, and were near a door. The view out the back is quite enchanting. This place is worth a visit! read more

Delicious food and wonderful experience! I was there for a work dinner and our evening was great. The server and other staff members were very attentive. It has a classic supper club vibe. I have heard that service can take a longer time during dinner, but we didn't have that issue read more

First time - heard great things about this supper club so wanted to give it a try. Great service at the bar - perfect cocktails. Friday dinner (fish fry) was very good. Not greasy with a nice batter coating. Service was great. A definite stop for dinner. Live music as well. read more

My family and I have been coming to the butterfly club for years. The food is always delicious. I haven't switched my order since the first time; 6oz filet, au gratin potatoes, and French onion soup. However, I can't help but notice a slight decline in service. Tonight was a bit upsetting, especially considering that we were celebrating my mother's birthday. We had a table of four. They failed to mention that they ran out of cinnamon rolls, one of our favorites. The table was without drinks for up to 20 minutes while waiting for our food. I waited 15 minutes for a glass of wine. The restaurant was quite busy, but even after the place was half empty, our service was lacking. My mom and I's steaks were switched and I was given the wrong potato. I was also only given 3 mushrooms while everyone else at the table had 10+ The food was still very good, as always. However, service wise, I have higher expectations for a supper club. The ambiance is always nice. read more

Good food good service good time. The prices are fair and it has the supper club vibe.

My mom and I stopped late on a Saturday night and the food was incredible - we had steak and scallops. It was quite chilly, so we would suggest you dress for that. Don't forget to plan time to enjoy an ice cream drink at the bar. The service could have been a tad more timely and waitress a little nicer - it was our first visit. Live music to end the night was a nice touch. read more

Can I tell you that how much WE LOVED this supper club!!! We went here to visit our cousin who lived in Beloit and this place came highly recommended from Discover Wisconsin. We ordered out old fashioned (sweet and sour) and our server was extra caring and asked us if we wanted olives or cherries. The dining room we sat in was a nostalgic year blue color and look like a blast from the past which I absolutely love. It was a Friday, so definitely had to get the Fish Fry. The fish had the right amount of batter, and very little oil. The surface and turf was so succulent- the lobster tail poached to perfection and the steak was juicy af. The onion soup was delicious and do not skip on the table bread. 12/10 recommend this place read more

What a great supper club! I always love coming here. The baked french onion soup is a great pairing with my amaretto sour & pasta. We stayed in the bar area after dinner and listened to the band. Everyone here treats you like family. Hands down one of my favorite WI supper clubs. We didn't have it this time, but I highly recommend the stuffed portabella mushroom to start off your dinner! read more

Great food- great bar. Maybe a little bit more expensive than the average restaurant but worth it!

What a lovely place! Beautiful ambiance (outside doesn't hint at what's inside,) many varied options from casual to elegant, surprisingly reasonable prices, generous portions, delicious flavors, perfectly prepared, great service by the delightful server Meghan, just a wonderful experience all around. It's huge inside but still felt intimate and the view is beautiful. Enjoy! read more

We went there for a special occasion as a party of 14. We spent time in the bar first which was great, drinks and atmosphere were wonderful. It was all downhill from there. My daughter ordered her steak medium rare, it came out extremely rare that she couldn't eat it without sending it back. My other daughter and o ordered ours medium and they were so rare I had to send mine back twice and she also had to send hers back once. Our plates were flooded with juices so much so that the waitress grabbed my daughter's plate too quickly and spilled the juice all over the front of her white dress and down her back. The waitress barely apologized but did bring her out a piece of chocolate cake, unfortunately she couldn't eat it because she's allergic to dairy. One couple in our group had to leave early, so they ate and paid for their meal. After the server brought our checks and we paid, she came back to our table and said she forgot to add the up charge for the baked French onion soup, so she made that party give her their credit card to pay the up charge and also mentioned she forgot to add it to the couples tab that left so she added it to theirs. What???? How unprofessional and rude. After all the trouble we had this entire night they could have forgiven three up charges for baked French onion soup or at least for the one for the couple that left instead of making someone else pay for it, especially after all the money we spent in the bar and restaurant for 14 people for an absolutely awful experience. We left very disappointed after a bad meal and a ruined white dress. read more

We made a reservation on their website for 4 people on a Wednesday. They have a fish fry special on Wednesdays. We got there early and sat at the bar. The service at the bar was great. The bartender came over immediately as we were sitting down and greeted us. Got our drinks within 1 minute of being there. VERY REASONABLE PRICES ! We were sat at our table. THE ONLY NEGATIVE THING I WILL SAY is the chairs are uncomfortable. Our waitress was a younger brunette girl- her service was great. She was quick and had a great attitude. My salmon was great. The ribs were fall off the bone. We didn't have a dessert drink but they looked amazing. Bill was reasonable - $88 for each of us having 2 drinks with dinner, salmon, and a full rack of ribs. read more

We ordered the prime rib and the walleye with the side of Augratin potatoes. Our butter knives cut the steak better than the steak knives they provided. The potatoes tasted as if they had been sitting for a day or two. The walleye was not deboned well at all. Our server was the best part of the experience. Overall, extremely disappointed. read more

Dinner to celebrate a retirement with best friends. All dinners were delicious: prime rib, shrimp de jonghe filet & salmon. Waitress was prompt but kinda rude when asked about the special ... she answered in her high pitched voice " page one of the menu" and left! And I've never ever seen salmon served on chow mein noodles!! Not very appetizing but salmon was a huge piece and moist after scraping noodles off the salmon read more

I am in Sales and took three associates from a valued client to the Butterfly Club for a Christmas dinner. The food was average however the service was unbelievably poor. The server did not greet or welcome us. She was very rude throughout our dinner. I was so embarrassed. It was very awkward. The server was especially rude to the female at our table. My client did not order a cocktail and only ordered a salad instead of an entree. The server acted upset that she ordered so little. Recently I have read poor reviews and heard from others that the Butterfly Club service is not what it used to be and that both the servers and managers are unprofessional. On our way out the young female manager asked how our experience was. I shared with her that our server was rude, seemed irritated and unfriendly. The response I received was a robotic "sorry you feel that way". She didn't ask any follow up questions and walked away. At one time the Butterfly Club was my favorite supper club experience. Based on this latest episode I will no longer patronize this establishment. I apologized to my clients for selecting this restaurant. In general to say the least I was extremely disappointed with our entire dining experience. read more

Great Friday night fish at The Butterfly Club in Beloit. The broiled and fried cod were both delicious with generous portions. Friendly service and a classic supper club vibe. Only downside--they didn't have Blue Moon or Shock Top. Overall, a great experience and we'd definitely come back. read more

My first time at "The Butterfly Supper Club" was an experience. The Ambiance delivers a 1960 lounge classic feeling. With bar lounge dedicated to the 60's!! Service was at best bare minimum- my waiter barely gave eye contact or communication. Presented my menu asked the standard questions & parted ways. I ordered a 10z filet mignon "medium Rare". Presented to me gray , moderately warm, with a few added grill marks! Tagged along with mild sautéed mushrooms. I hope my next visit will be a better experience *side tip* paying to have your steak seasoned is comical!! Chefs should take pride in seasoning and preparation for the cuts of meat !! Not charing $4 dollars for black pepper and garlic. read more

So so good. Old school supper club with old school prices and vibes. Classic plating and ice cream drinks were divine. Great staff as well! read more

Great food, great service, great atmosphere. Well worth the drive there. Great value for the prices.

Food = 1 Service = 1 Ambiance = 4 I took my family here over the weekend. I would not normally have tried this as it rated 3 stars, but we wanted to try someplace new and decided to gamble. Lesson learned. We each tried a different meal, chicken pasta, NY strip and shrimp, kabob and roasted duck. The kabob and duck was just "okay". The strip and shrimp were awful. Quite possibly the worst steak I've ever had. I ordered medium and it was beyond well done. No flavor whatsoever and chewy. When you don't add any flavor such as butter or garlic it's hard to imagine how this gets screwed up, but they managed to do so. The shrimp was the same, dry and chewy, with a bunch of seasoning thrown in after being cooked. The chicken pasta was very bland and not cheesy at all. The service was also horrible with not much attention paid to us at all. It seemed like they were spread thin with our waitress having too many tables to manage. The only good thing that had potential was the over layout of the restaurant. Pretty cool, but not nearly enough to mask the rest. In all fairness I did read the bad reviews and still chose to go here. All the bad reviews were spot on. Save your time and money, pass. We will not return to this restaurant. read more

Poor service Steaks overdone Shrimp weird flavor Couldn't get a drink at the bar Barely saw waitress read more

Honestly some of the worst food I have ever had at a restaurant. I ordered a 10 oz fillet cooked medium and the outside was burnt and had no flavor whatsoever not to mention it was the shape of a softball. I think they shook it up in a bag of Charcoal when it was finished. The au gratin potatoes were raw and had the texture of an Apple. My salad was very good. My brother also ordered a filet cooked medium rare. A portion of the steak was not even edible from being raw. See attached pic. My last gripe is we brought up my meal issue with who I believe to be a manager. The manager had the audacity to say as I only ate half they would take it off the bill. I litterly cut it down the middle and took one bite. I have never sent a meal back in my life take that as you will. read more

The Butterfly Club used to be a special treat. Old time supper club bar. Soft music (some call it hokey but we enjoyed it) and decent food. So we made the mistake of making reservations on Valentine's Day 2026. We were fortunate to find a seat at the bar prior to our reservation; we arrived early to be sure. We noticed that the tables on the side of the bar that are usually reserved for bar patrons were being seated for dining as well as some patrons eating at the bar. That was strange. Not to mention that most drinks at the bar were $10-$12+++ This is not typical for a Wisconsin supper club. We reminded the hostess of our reservations when the time had passed, and were seated pretty quickly. We were horribly disappointed to be given a "special Valentine's menu" with prices basically doubled from their regular menu prices. I ordered a filet and shrimp and my husband ordered a ribeye. Mind you, at least $10-$15 over menu prices. The food was absolutely horrible. The steaks had no flavor what-so-ever. We both took some home hoping we could doctor it up for leftovers. NOT. My filet was edible. My husband had to throw his ribeye out as it was too tough to chew. But back to the dining experience. We came for the meal, and hoped to stay for the music. As we made our way to an empty bar table we were told we weren't allowed to sit there as they were too busy for Valentine's Day and had to use the tables for dining patrons. And there were no seats at or around the bar. So by 8 p.m. we were forced to leave on what should have been a special night. The Butterfly no longer cares about their patrons and I doubt we will ever go back. It is a longer drive for us, but we always felt it was "worth it." Fool me once...but you won't fool me twice. read more

We were at the Butterfly a couple of weeks ago. A group of us about 8. The minute the bill was paid...we were asked to leave, immediately. We didn't have any time to talk etc. I thought that was rude of restaurant. You want some time to digest the horrible food we just swallowed. And it wasn't like we were there for very long. It was literally right after the waitress laid the receipt down, we were asked to leave. With that alone, we won't be back. read more

Went yesterday ( Sunday). Dani was our server. Lovely. I had the liver special which was delicious. It was sliced very thin so medium rare would have not been an option ( should have been advised) BUT it turned out great with bacon and onions. Our main concern was that out of our table of four the food was lukewarm at best. Potato so cold butter would not melt. It seems like they are resting on their laurels?? We will be back to try the outside area Oh it was FREEZING in there. Really really cold. read more

We went on a Friday night and they were very busy, but the wait was only 30 minutes and there was ample seating in the bar area so it was nice to be able to sit down and enjoy some wonderful Old Fashioneds. Those guys were hustling and they didn't leave us high and dry - they actually waited on us after about a minute and had perfect timing checking back with us. It was refreshing to not have to try to flag someone down for service! After being seated our little group ordered a Fried Cod fish fry, a Prime Rib dinner, and a Scallop & Shrimp pasta dish in a heavenly cream sauce. All were excellent and piping hot. And my clam chowder was some of the best I've ever had. Our waitress was friendly and efficient, we wanted for nothing - she made sure of that! It was a wonderful night thanks to all of the friendly staff and the outstanding food!! read more

Lovely environment. Waitress was very pleasant and efficient. All items ordered arrived quickly. My pasta shrimp dish was under seasoned to me, and the portion of protein was small. Salad great. French onion soup was great. The prime rib special was small, but certainly enough. It was really enjoyable to see a large selection of dinner entrees rather than the typical hand helds and burgers. read more

i've had several good meals here, but the last time we were there, it wasn't up to par. Prime rib was tough, But we won't give up on them just yet sometimes there's an off night. read more

Amazing food! The drinks are superb! Great Fish fry on Fridays! Good idea to come early or call ahead for reservations.

The bar drinks and atmosphere was incredible 5 stars! The food was disappointing bland, charred and over cooked...

We have been patrons of the Butterfly Club for over 30 years. We have always enjoyed the lounge, the scenery and the retro feel. We recently dined at the Butterfly Club with another couple. The other three diners at the table ordered entrees, and I ordered a bowl of soup because I was not hungry enough for an entree. During the meal my husband offered me a small corner of his steak which he put on my bread plate. I had a few bites and returned the rest to him. When the bill came the waitress added a five dollar plate share penalty. When we questioned the fee she said that she noticed I ate some of my husbands steak and since I didn't order an entree she applied the fee. We were shocked and asked to speak to the manager. I know it is legal for a restaurant to implement a meal split charge, this fee helps offsets the cost of the extra plate, silverware, water, and staff time used. However, this practice is usually applied when two people share a single entree, not when a small amount of food is simply tasted or moved to an extra plate. In many cases, the fee is disclosed on the menu or by the server beforehand. The fact that I already ordered my own meal (soup) and my husband only gave me a little piece of his steak, on an existing bread plate, makes the charge unusual and unfair especially because it wasn't disclosed. The manager would not listen to our logic and rudely refused to remove the extra charge. When asked why they don't have the meal share charge on their menu she said that would be "tacky". It seems "tackier"to charge a patron an extra five dollars for sampling my husbands steak. It looks like the Butterfly Club we once enjoyed no longer exists. We will not be returning. read more
