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
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...
