Little Bohemia has been on my bucket list for several years and I was finally able to try it. FIRST: you must call and make a reservation. If you don't have a confirmed reservation you won't be able to diner here.
The vintage atmosphere is warm and inviting.
The history is very cool. Little Bohemia was in the movie Public Enemies because the FBI had a shoot out with the prohibitionist John Dillinger and his gang. There are still bullet holes in the walls and broken windows from the event. The escape car is on the property as well. There is a lot of history from various memorabilia on display.
Some of the food was excellent. We ordered duck and New York Strip. The steak and shrimp were very tough. The duck was very good. The chicken wild rice soup and cheddar broccoli soups were fantastic and The rosemany au gratin potatoes were outstanding!
The green olive spread and pea salad served on the relish tray were top notch. The rolls were not hot or homeade.
Next time I would order the Pork Schintzel as that is one of their signature dishes.
Although we arrived at 5 and it was fairly empty, the restaurant became pretty busy. They were not staffed to handle it which is typical these days.
I would go again and try a different main dish.
Wheelchair accessibility: It has a ramp to the front door and the parking lot has handicapped stalls and has no steps to the sidewalk for easy transition.

Bartender was not very friendly. Sadly kitchen was short staffed and we were told we could not have an appetizer in the bar due to that. Hostess was helpful and kind. Had live music which was Amazing!!!!! One man band...he was super.

It was fun but so crowded in bar due to class reunion. It would have been nice if they had separate area for drinks before dinner so others not part of the group could enjoy the place.

We visited to check out the whole John Dillinger thing, and I will say that unless you're very into history/old gangster stuff, this is pretty much your jam. It's literally an old hotel room with a hundred bullet holes in it, and some adjacent rooms with the whole collection of news clippings and articles about Dillinger.
I'm not a big history buff, so for me it wasn't a draw really. But the food was worth going back for, and honestly it's pretty wild seeing that many bullet holes in a building, and they still didn't get the guy.
Having visited the place, it got me interested in the story and it's a wild ride, very interesting guy.
If you're a history buff or just looking for a very good meal, I recommend it.
Heads up, they serve a very unusual supper club style dish. I won't describe it, so you'll be just as surprised!

Ok. A bucket list trip. This is where many of the Gangsters back in the day hid out. Dillinger, Public Enemy movie was shot there because there really was a shoot out with police! Very historic. Many artifacts, even a wall with the bullet holes! The setting is absolutely gorgeous! That's the Atmosphere... Unfortunately, we were unaware that reservations were required, after 200 miles to visit. We arrived at 420. Went inside. Bar open. I don't drink. At 450 the hostess showed up. Was rushed. Rude and informed more than a dozen couples... Sorry. No soup or supper for you! No reservation, we can get you in at 8 PM. 4 hour wait. So. We left. Watched a dozen cars leave and nobody came in... So. Those reservations were at 5? Well. We were looking around the grounds till well after 5. No other cars. At their prices, likely $600 to $800 turned away. Since the host was such a rude person, and did not offer any of us a table, I can't tell you anything about the food. This place has a LOT of seating. Open 3 hours in the evening. I am sure had we waited the 4 hours plus, the food would simply be what's left or ? Sketchy way to operate a business. Especially when only a few will want to enjoy the history. I am a SR. Gen X . I know the story but 10 more years, nobody will know or care about Little Bohemia!?? Why be rude? If your nice. I would recommend people come visit and enjoy historical events and fine food? Maybe? I will never know how the food is, but if it's like the host. It's sour.

Had dinner last night. Our server, Patty, was friendly and attentive - smart, witty, and engaging! She made sure our entrees were just right. Food was delicious - but restaurant was sold out of a few things. Cool history. Would definitely return. đ

First time there (September 2024), I love the rustic look & feel. Only reason I gave it 4 for food is because they were out of a couple items but we were there later in the evening. Our server Patty was top notch, friendly and attentive even though she was running around like crazy. Prices for drinks and food was more than reasonable. So much history in that lodge, if only the walls could talk.
Didnât get to tour the inside but historically this was a blast to walk around the grounds

We went to Little Bohemia with a party of 5 adults. We had a great experience! The hostess was lovely! Our waitress was very knowledgeable of the menu. There were several specials. We had cheese curds and spinach artichoke dip, both were fabulous! The history of the lodge is really interesting and we enjoyed seeing the original bullet holes in the walls from the John Dillinger gang. We had strip steak, shrimp, walleye and filet mignon all entrees we're excellent and cooked to perfection. I would highly recommend the little Bohemia lodge for a great family experience.

We went here on vacation last year and had a great time/experience we wanted to go again this year and make it a tradition however we were treated so poorly by our serverâŠPattyâŠ. That we will not be returning. We were looking forward to going here all year and to celebrate my husbands 40th bday. Patty told us the specials , rudely brought us our drinks and then began to take our order abruptly acting annoyed if any questions were asked. I was actually scared to place my order and my childrenâs orders. When it got to me I asked her to please leave off the âparsleyâ sprinkled on top of the fettuccine as we knew our son last year did not like it as much on. She rolled her eyes and said â I canât , I wonât be able to get there in time and theyâll still put it onâ and then said â what and why is he allergic??â It was not ok to treat paying customers this way. When food arrived of course it was on there ( she almost did it purposely at that point) I told her and she began to grab my childâs plate away when another member of our party didnât even get their food yet. I had to pull the plate back and say â no thatâs ok, heâll just eat itâ. She acted so angry about it I was scared she would take it back and remove herself with her fingers or spit in his food. She gave me the nastiest stare down when I said â this is not ok to be treated like thisâ. We were nervous to ask anything else. Why is it such a big deal to not put the â garnishâ on top while itâs done? There should be a button or note button in the computer? All of a sudden we had a new server come who was sooo great, friendly and nice. We were relieved! Iâm sure the other server went to her and complained about us although we did not do anything wrong. Itâs appalling that at such a nice, fun place that isnât cheap by the way.. we could be treated like that. We definitely did not want to stay and celebrate with dessert. I really enjoyed my cod. It was delicious. Other family members enjoyed their food also but the food came cold and the perch had bones in it. We told the new server the issue at the end and she apologized multiple times to us and was just so nice! It stinks that the whole experience had to be ruined for all of us. We were there special and we just didnât get the good server at the beginning. Beware to ask any questions and just get what you get and pay for it! I really hope our new server got a bit of the 50 dollar tip we left! Unfortunately, I do not recommend this place.?
