Our friends took us there after highly recommending it. We made the 2hr drive for what was to be to die for food. Sad to say I was disappointed. We ordered two appetizers- river rat balls & brushetta. Both were really good. All four of ordered the Saturday special of prime rib. Came with two sides. The side salad was the bombdotcom with homemade croutons. The American fries were decent but a bit soggy. The prime rib had ZERO seasoning and I paid an upcharge of $1.00 to make it Cajun. Nope... no flavor. Nada. Just a hunk of meat. I did scope out all other food coming from the small kitchen where you could hear the staff having a great time. It looked good so maybe we ordered wrong... but the menu is limited on prime rib days and what I normally would order wasn't available.
Side note- I've worked in the restaurant business... not one person in the kitchen had hair nets on. Food was handles with barehands and I saw repeated cross contamination. The prime rib they cut our hunks off of laid on a counter dripping blood onto the floor that then had a towel thrown over it. I didn't feel great about eating our meal after noting all this.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - julie j.Lake Forest, IL041Apr 23, 2023
We have been loyal customers for years and understand restaurants have had a hard time the last few years. But the last 2 times we've gone there for dinner, they were closed. The most recent time was a few days ago. They had posted their menu for pasta night on their facebook page so we drove 25 miles from Seneca only to be told by someone inside they were closed, not even 2 hours after their menu post. I guess I should call ahead if we go there again.

I've been here before a few years ago and it was okay (came for the highly recommend prime rib) very average but palatable. Recently went in again with a group of four and it was so bad we all paid the bill and walked out the door. Prime rib was like a boiled pork chop? No flavor and texture of an old shoe. The ribs were dry and over cooked, fish was a chunk of fryer grease lathered in fake butter. It was all soooo bad. Is the place under new management or something???

I normally do not give bad reviews, but....i think I need to on this one. My family and I went there yesterday and we waited over an hour to get our food. And when we did, everything was burnt. Hamburgers were fried to a crisp as well as the fish sandwiches. After we finally got our food, no one ever came back to our table. Several people walked out instead of waiting for their food. We finally had to ask the bartender for our bill, and there was no apology or anything. I get that places are struggling for help, but there was never an apology.

If you find your self staying in prairie du chein area. This place is a favorite. The best chicken sandwich to date. You will get a old supper club vibe here which I love. They start you off at night with a relish tray. Order a Bloody Mary with a beer back of spotted cow. My family's ribeye sandwich also came recommended.

What a fantastic joint on the outskirts of Prairie du Chen! We found a table outside on their patio to enjoy a late lunch. The server was friendly and working her butt off! The inside had good vibes and decor. I'd recommend a stop for a beer or a meal!

Decided to try this place for a fish fry and it was super tasty. I definitely wold come back. The service was excellent as well. Our waitress was very friendly and talkative which is always appreciated when going to a new place. Also you cant leave without trying their homemade deserts. They make some amazing cupcakes and cheesecake. I definitely recommend and will be back.

I was disappointed, the Prime rib was good but just not the same flavors as I previously enjoyed. The Prime Rib was missing the Rosemary seasoning that I have been coming back for many years, after spending the day on the river. Tonight I missed the unique taste of their seasoned prime rib. I was also disappointed that they were no longer offering the traditional supper club relish tray. After trying to figure out what had changed, I believe the restaurant has a new owner.

This is our second time visiting here and we came for the great prime rib!! Last time we were given a relish tray so maybe they forgot? Great old fashioned at a great price too! The prime rib is seasoned perfectly and the staff is very friendly!

The outside patio was so relaxing while we sipped our super cheap and yummy rum and cokes waiting for a table. The prime rib is the best we ever had. The small cut was plenty for me. The medium cut is HUGE!!! Love the little relish tray! Such a great find. Something we don't find back in Chicago area too often
