Food has no flavor, appetizer of onion rings were warm not hot, cost of meal was too high compared to same at other supper clubs that food tasted better; server was nice but appeared

This place has gone downhill. The bar restaurant is small, so it would be crowded if the place were busy. There is a very limited menu for food and for beer. There are some middle of the road priced options, but the steak and seafood ( that I used to come here for years ago) is too pricey in my opinion. I tried the perch fish fry, and it was OK. My wife had the baked cod, and it was pretty good. the service was OK. Overall, it was OK

We had a Rotary group dinner there. The seafood was mouth watering. The steaks were tender.

Great food and service. Tammy behind the bar is the best.

You know I was really dissapointed. This was a place we want to every week when I lived in Janesville. The steak was subpar (I got the featured entre which was a brown sugar steak). The quality of the beef was off and add to that a less than spectacular seasoning... It sounded so good but fell flat. We are moving back to Janesville and I hope they get a better quality of beef before we return. In fact we would consider buyingbto turn this landmark around!

Not really our style but I imagine older more traditional locals might enjoy it. Facility is old, dark and a bit run down, needs updates. Tiny men's room but clean. Very limited menu that doesnt even list the sides. No kids menu. No iced tea (typical for a tradtional WI supper club). My food (NY Strip) was pretty good. 2 others got Prime Rib and said it was mediocre. Service was OK. Lots of other local places are better. Probably won't go back but I hope they continue to get local support.Kid-friendliness: NOT kid friendly.

Got the batter cod fish, very dry. I think it was sitting for a long time. Menu very limited. Pretty much fish or steak. Cost is extremely high. Our bill for 4 ppl was $140. Texas road house is 100 x better both in food and cost.

Food was good. Limited items on the menu. The au gratin potatoes were probably the best I have ever had.

Absolutely astounding service, atmosphere and food. We went there for a table of two and from the moment we stepped in the door the staff was making sure our experience was fantastic. I can’t say enough about how attentive the staff are. We ordered drinks and the bartender came over to our table to make sure we got exactly what we’d like and gave us many options based on our feedback. Truly a personal service. We both had 6oz filets cooked medium rare perfectly. I also had the scallops which were cooked perfectly, crusted on the outside and soft on the inside. The au gratin potatoes were delicious. Their homemade vinaigrette dressing was very tasty, and I enjoyed their chili to start, not too heavy a good amount of spicy and serving size was perfect as a starter. For dessert we had the chocolate cheesecake and the tiramisu, both were great! The atmosphere here is warm and inviting, the staff make you feel like a king and queen. Definitely recommend for a nice evening out with your loved ones.

We go Friday evening for cocktails and Dinner. We love to see the people that work there they are all so friendly. And are always nothing but happy to see us.?

Food was okay but way over priced. Minimum price $30 for 5 shrimp average price $47 steaks were small and sides are smaller. I've brought our friends there as a thank you for helping us. We paid the bill, not broken down, and left. They knew our friends so called them on their phone to tell them the waitress forgot to add the drinks and made them drive back to pay for the drinks. That was beyond unprofessional and rude. This was our treat to them and they made our friends turn around and drive back for their mistake. The place was empty on a Saturday night for a readon.

Great fish dinner and even better Grasshopper!

Excellent food and service was great. Supper club style dining.

Great food and great atmosphere! The staff couldn't have been more welcoming and accommodating. We enjoyed drinks at the bar engaged in conversation. I had prime rib, and my wife had the filet with scallops. All was delicious, and we highly recommend choosing the side of au gratins. Can't end a night out at a supper club without having a green frog! We really enjoyed the experience as well as chatting with the proprietor, Kurt, and his father. Thanks for a great night out!

I've went back & forth whether or not to post because everyone is already struggling but as a business owner I would want constructive feedback. We were disappointed as this was one of our old favorites. Our waitress was extremely off putting. She acted like we were inconveniencing her with a simple request of wanting a salad rather than potatoes. The salad was suck a small handful of lettuce it didn't even cover the bottom of the plate. Literally 3 bites of lettuce. The veggie was asparagus and again a tiny portion of the stems.. we felt like we were being fed leftovers. We left after paying what we felt were very high prices for what we received & went to eat again somewhere else. Unfortunately we won't be back
