[[HIGHLIGHT]]Really, really cool location![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]! Long history of the Stamm house- "built in 1847, as a service store to the "Old Sauk Trail"", In 1852 it became a hotel and tavern, in 1910 it became a dance hall, in 1925 ownership was changed again, and in the 1950s it because a Supper Club. It was repurchased in 2013 by the current owners, and restored to what it is today. Really neat (longer) history that you can find on the website. Both the ceiling and the wine cellar are original, make sure to look at both!! The menu has a wide selection of entrees (including extra fish on Fridays). For dinner we ordered the truffle fries, cheese curds, and gnocchi with sausage. The truffle fries were perfectly crispy and the bacon herb and chipotle aioli they were served with tasted exquisite (best part of the fries). I thought the gnocchi was the perfect texture- not too dense- and the crumbled up sausage paired with the pasta and the red sauce nicely. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Really enjoyed both the atmosphere and the food here and would definitely return.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Lots of parking in the back area. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Loved the vibes and the patio area was perfect for summer.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I was kind of surprised the reviews aren't that great. We started off with the burrata. Light but tasty appetizer to start off with. My boyfriend got the burger that came with fries. Loved the fries! Super crunch, perfectly salted. Very large portions. I opted for the salmon. The brussel sprouts were plain by themselves but this dish with the bacon bits and salmon made it a perfect bite every time. I loved the lobster cream on the bottom. As far as service was, we liked our waiter. She was attentive. We thought it was a bit slow. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It did get annoying at some point eating out on the patio because of the bugs. I would either recommend they put out some citronella or those bug zappers for people to enjoy the outdoor dining experience.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Overall, I'd return! read more

This was the most disappointing dining experience. I think I've ever had! For the extreme price of $50 for a prime rib it doesn't include a salad many of the sides have up charges and a cup of soup is $11! The absolute worst prime rib I've ever had anywhere. The taste was horrible. The texture was horrible and the seasoning was extreme. I literally could've bought a prime rib and made it at home that was 10 times better than this. The asparagus which was a four dollar up charge side item was undercooked and cold. read more

We went to Stamm House for my birthday. We had 8 people which included two kids. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We were seated upstairs in a lovely all brick room.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our waiter was fantastic. I'd go back just for the service alone. We had truffle fries as an appetizer. I figured the kids would like them. No, the adults all wolfed them down. Our meals were all wonderful. The lobster bisque soup was divine. Steak yummy. I also was able to order NA cocktails. Can't wait until our next visit. read more

The historic aspect of dining at the Stamm House unfortunately did not outweigh the disappointing and over-priced meal we had there. Our group of six arrived exactly on time for our Saturday night reservation. Still, we had to wait for our table despite the fact that much of the restaurant was empty. The group that arrived after us, with no reservation, was attended to and seated before us. We started with drinks and appetizers. The cocktail I ordered was pretty watered down. When the appetizers we ordered arrived at the table, our server completely forgot to bring plates and silverware. He walked away from the table and we assumed he'd be back with them shortly. But when he returned to take our entree orders, he did not have plates in hand and we had to ask him outright to bring them. The truffle fries were alright, nothing spectacular. The calamari was a teenie tiny serving size. The Brussel sprouts were undercooked but probably the best thing I ate the whole meal. All three apps were served with nondescript mayo sauces that basically tasted the same. My husband ordered the chef special, which was bacon-wrapped pork tenderloin and shrimp. It wasn't bad, but very very salty. The mashed potatoes were incredibly dry and the salad was the best thing on the plate, despite the weird inclusion of avocado. I ordered the chicken piccata, one of my favorite dishes... it was inedible. $25 got me hard, undercooked, boxed pasta (none of the dishes we ordered featured fresh pasta), incredibly overcooked and dry chicken, and a nonsensical array of mushrooms, tomatoes and canned artichoke hearts. I ate about two bites of food before deciding it wasn't worth it. Overall, a super disappointing meal. I don't think we'll return or recommend to others... I really wish we would have gone downtown for a burger instead. read more

Went to that Stamm House at about 6pm with 5 couples. Seated upstairs at a nice table but the room was very cool. I mean cold. Group started with some nicely prepared beef tips as an appetizer. Wifey had the grilled chicken sandwich and a side salad. The sandwich was average at best and the side salad was fresh but very small. I had the French onion soup ($10) and a side salad ($10) with blue cheese dressing. The soup was very good, loaded with croutons and a heavy dose of melted cheese. I really enjoyed the soup. The side salad was small and the dressing was some ranch with 2-3 small chunks of blue cheese. I was disappointed with the salad and ticked off at the price. Our friends had other assorted items. I didn't make note of them. No one was raving about the food being good and everyone was commenting about how cool the room was. In all honesty I can't recommend the Stamm House. Other reviews seem to have had a better experience. We wont return. read more

Long wait to order. Waiter was basically a no show for most of the meal. Never checked back until we were done and then offered that he meant to check in, but he was also the bartender and was busy. What?! [[HIGHLIGHT]]We went there despite the low rating because we wanted to sit outside, but the chairs are torture.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Brussels sprouts app was good and someone (not our waiter) got the food to us hot. Still couldn't recommend. read more

Broad and creative menu. The cocktails were tasty and nice sized. The food was well prepared and presented. Good steaks and sides. They ran out of prime rib by 6:30 pm despite it being a special item the night we went there, but there were plenty of other options. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We liked the ambiance of this old stone house and will definitely return there.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

The ambiance of the outdoor seating drew me into this place every time I drove past it. Finally was able to try it out with some friends and we enjoyed the seating outside. The cocktails and fries were delicious, as well as the very refreshing Caesar salad. Unfortunately, our main dishes were lacking flavor and quite bland. I almost wonder if they forgot the sauce on our risotto (which is made with rice). I plan to go again and try something different or this may be more of a drink and app spot in my book. read more

food came out super fast but they actually forgot about us in the beginning so it took a while for a server to help us. we got the cheese curds which imo tastes better than the old fashioned's cheese curds (juuuuust by a bit tho), the complimentary bread was so warm and the butter melted right into it!! the fish fry was good but i wish the truffle fries were thinner. we got the the bacon aioli on the side which was an interesting concept. can't say i'd get it again. the server recommended the salmon pasta but this was my least fav dish actually. felt like i could've cooked that up myself at home. my second fav part of the meal after the cheese curds was the creme brulee, it was everything i've been craving and the PERFECT end to dinner. service was otherwise really good once we actually had a waiter lol interior of the restaurant is really cute, it's really just the inside of a house!! read more

In the fall I had my first experience at 1847 at the Stamm House. A spur of the moment dinner with a new associate led me here, when bff had to cancel our prior arrangement. So I told the associate to pick a place. I was pleased when she said 1847 at the Stamm House as I had never been but have noticed the unique looking structure. I went in cold, not having time to look at the menu or reviews prior. Dining partner was at what looked to be a well stocked bar. Nonalcoholic adult beverages are what she had. I point that out as I'm unsure how common it is to find nonalcoholic beer at places and that may be a pro. For the meal we were sat at the tables on the same level. And it was extremely loud, like shouting to hear the person across from you, this Saturday evening. Also the tables were in such close proximity that I could reach out and touch the next. As I was using a crutch I also had wedge it into the skinny base of the two top table so that it wouldn't be in the aisle next to the other two top tables on both sides. I ordered beef stroganoff. A little light on the beef in my opinion. Small serving and I've never been mistaken for a big eater! I also could have used the server coming back to check on drink refills. Overall, I would give this another chance. I would just ask to be seated elsewhere and spend some time on Yelp reviews before going to figure out what the best dishes are here. read more

As of this review we've been here a full hour and have not received food. Or drink refills. Or any attention whatsoever from our server. Absolutely will not return. read more

Have been by several times when visiting Middleton. Finally stopped in for drinks and dinner on a Saturday night. Seated immediately upstairs so we could enjoy the cool decor and setting. Love the history of the place. Had capable hostess and wait staff. We had tenderloin bites/toast for half price appetizer as we were there early in the evening. My husband had 12 oz. Prime rib with potatoes and Brussels sprouts. Very good! I had the salmon salad-fresh and tasty. Good wine & beer selections also. Recommend and glad we finally stopped in. Outside area looks very nice for warmer weather. read more

I wanted to like this place. It's so cute and charming, has a full menu and makes a good old fashioned! But if the food doesn't match up..then eh I guess you could come for some pre-dinner drinks or a night cap. Or maybe just avoid the fish fry, which is what I got. The fish was bland, mushy, and the fries were about the same. I will say I liked the coleslaw, but it was such a small amount, I was underwhelmed. The service was good, attentive, and easy to split our check, so that was a plus, but overall I wont' be making my way up to this place again, unless I'm in the area. And I'm definitely ordering something else. read more

First time at Stamm House and we loved it! The Pinot Noir was lovely, an earthy spicy wine. We had calamari and cheese curds- both great. The cheese curds were so cheesy and gooey. For the main dish I tried the fettuccine Alfredo and it was wonderful, I had enough for a second portion to bring home. Overall, a great experience!! We'll be back read more

Really had a good experience at 1847 Stamm House. When driving by it may seem like just another bar but it's far from it. We started with the tenderloin-tip appetizer which was so delicious. The red wine sauce had so much flavor and went very well with the toast. Entrees we're the Stamm Burger and Carbonara which came highly recommended. The burger is humongous and can easily be shared. It was cold which was upsetting but still tasty. The "cheese curds" that come on the burger is actually just a thick slice of cheese fried. The carbonara was very good, the parmesan cream sauce was perfect. Overall the food was alright but they have so many options I would be opposed to coming back and trying something else! read more

I love this place. At first we thought we'd have to wait because the parking lot was full. But we were surprised as almost no one was sitting at the cute outside area. (By the time we left it was full and the parking lot was still full). As we walked through the restaurant to get outside, the aroma was delicious. We ordered the grilled perch, with two sides. I had the beans which had a nice salty crunch. (Think weight watcher fries). Our server was prompt, brought water and refills without our asking, and got our orders right. I can't ask for more. Btw the fish was good too and we will be back not only for the fish but to try the other delicious sounding things on the menu. read more

I've driven past this place so many times and have always wanted to come here, it looks so neat from the outside. The ambiance on the inside is actually very neat and they do a good job of keeping the integrity of the house's age. We came on a winter night, and they did not seem too busy as we were some of the only people downstairs and it was too cold to be outside. I never went upstairs so I don't know how many people were up there, but it seemed like they were entirely unprepared for having multiple groups show up as service was super slow. Staff was very nice, but they were quite literally running around looking lost and confused as if they did not have the ability to keep up with everything. Albeit slow, service was otherwise fine so that would definitely not keep me from coming back and trying them again. The drinks were fine, I'm not a huge cocktail person but they had a dark beer for me and I was thus satisfied! The food was good, and I was so in love with the fact that they had pierogis on the menu! It's a traditional family food that I rarely find out, so I had to order them. Quite delicious. A lot of their appetizers sounded sooo good too. The food options on the menu also sounded great, and I am always a sucker for a black bean burger. Unfortunately, this one was terrible. It wasn't so much that it tasted bad, but it was quite literally impossible to eat. It fell apart so horribly (and I'm pretty experienced with handling different veggie burgers) that I barely was able to get a few bites in before it was all over my plate and I could not eat any of the ingredients together in the same forkful. I would definitely not order it again and try something else instead. Overall, our experience and food was pretty good. The place itself is super awesome and I just love the ambiance inside. I will definitely plan to come back. read more

An incredible venue. The setting is as romantic as it is storied I'm most certain. Walking in the door is immediately revealing that this very rustic and indeed old building has to have stories that date decades, née a dozen plus decades. The decor though isn't the commodity I am quantifying. Too bad. It's magnificent, whereas the food isn't anything more vibrant than any lakeside supper club that while having nice scenery seems to have a bored or inattentive chef. Which is odd because I've heard that the chef was also the owner. Tonight (Friday 1/29) was my idea to bring my wife out for her birthday along with our son. Wanting to have something other than salmon which is my go to seafood of choice I opted for the pan seared perch dinner. Which while on paper sounded spectacular. Mashed potato's and a slaw. But on delivery it was anything but. Unless an array of white nicely arranged upon white china, with a white cup of cold slaw made with green (still mostly white) cabbage in a mayo dressing. Very unattractive. The fist too was bland as it was pale. Not even a whiff of seasoning. My wife's entree was a potato crusted walleye alongside vibrant and perfectly cooked green beans with a bacon and onion preparation. The third dish was my sons chicken sandwich which certainly was delicious in presentation. Judging how fast it vanished I can state with certainty it had to be good. As for the food. Both of our fish dinners were dull and with exactly as much seasoning as I would think an old folks home cook would prepare items so as to not incite any further blockage by means of sodium intake! The fish, at approx $23and $25 per, were not as good as I'd expect from Denny's. (The menu prices shown on Yelp are apparently out of date) The green beans on my wife's plate were the highlight of my night, with the quite tasty, but rather chunky mashed potato's. The drinks were also enjoyable even though It took the waiter well over 10 minutes to finally bring my second, which I'd been awaiting for all of 10 minutes to order after the first. He was nice, polite, but completely not in the ball. I wanted to enjoy drinks, but as soon as the food was gone, I immediately chose to head to the neighboring Craftsman for the remainder of the evening. First review of Stamm. The first visit was actually a promo early COVID-19 thing they offered. It was for a valued cause, so we ordered four meals. Rather spendy, and equally pedestrian in execution, but considering the family style presentation and being a take home thing I let it go that the food wasn't up to par. This official first dine in night set the tone for my future likelihood where I'd think of going out for an upscale meal. Just not the destination. read more

Strange layout but we sat upstairs and it was nice and cool on a hot evening! Signature drinks were nice. They were out of the cheese curd appetizer which left my group disappointed. Order barratta, explained to be like a charcuterie - not one I've ever experienced. It's soft cheese on beets over a salad. No crackers. Menu needs some updating, maybe shorten as it's a little confusing - fish is listed under Chicken. Tacos under burgers. Ordered the perch and pretty dissatisfied with the large amount of bones and small pieces. Two sides: Brussel sprouts were phenomenal, spinach was gritty. Gritty is no a word I want to use to describe food. And it also had coleslaw which tasted like it came from a tub. read more

Good food and great historic building. I have enjoyed this place for a number of years. It's a mid-level restaurant with slightly high prices. Menu is modern and has general items but nothing unique that I found. read more

Bryce was our server and he was amazing! He was super attentive and helpful when we wanted to switch tables. He never kept us waiting. The fish fry was one of the best we've ever had. read more

The ambiance is great! Lovely building both inside and out. There's plenty of space for outdoor eating, though when we went it wasn't shaded. The food was really good and reasonably priced. The fettuccine salmon is very filling and easily makes two servings. 10/10 would eat the creme brûlée again. read more

I've been to the Stamm house a few times now and felt like I could give it a fair rating at this point. Located on the west side, the Stamm house offers a woody, cozy, and semi formal atmosphere for patrons to dine. There are two floors with an outdoor seating component for warmer nights. The parking lot is a little awkward and there are conspicuous speed bumps without warning. One enters through the back of the house and walk to front in order to get service. Tables are too small for parties and makes comfortable dining difficult. Service is a hit or miss. First look at the menu suggests up scale options with a price tag to match it. Examples of what one should expect include fried cheese curds, crab cakes, french onion soup, Angus brand steaks, pasta dishes, and fried, baked, or seared fish options. Food quality and costs simply do not align. Last time we visited, we ordered cheese curds, fried perch dinner, and the steak and shrimp entree. The cheese curds were good: warm, gooey, and freshly breaded and fried. We found, however, that there were many pieces of fried breading the basket without any corresponding cheese, almost like the scraps that should be filtered from the deep fryer were not cleaned up. The steak and shrimp were a let down as well from the start, with a sloppy presentation at its immediate delivery to the table (see pic) and a piece of shrimp that had a black spot on it, implying it's need to have been not used and rather thrown into the trash. While the Angus brand does imply a certain level of quality per the website, the general texture, doneness, and seasoning were all a let down as well. I highlight a number of the downsides of the Stamm house but still give it three stars. It has a unique location and a nice atmosphere but overall in need of work. There are better places on the west side for less of a hit on the wallet. read more

My fiancé and I love the Stamm House! We often come here in the spring and summer to enjoy their beautiful patio. They have a delicious cocktail menu, and a comprehensive main dinner menu. We especially love their cheese curds (and he loves the cheese curd burger). They're often very busy in the summers, but I've found that the service is still always good. At our last visit, I requested grilled chicken on my caesar salad and the chef mistakenly left it off (which is no big deal at all, and the first time I've had an incorrect order at Stamm). When I let the server know, he was very apologetic and brought it to me right away. He even comped me the cost of the chicken, without me asking! I was very impressed by this. We will continue coming here as long as it is open! read more

Y'all! I was seriously impressed with this place!! I would have never happened upon this restaurant if it wasn't for my InstaGift gift card. Their pasta is amazing and great portions. The chicken marsala was so tasty and I had left overs to take home because it was so big! My husband ordered the rack of lamb and he loved it. The historic aspect made it unique and the upstairs was so cute! We will definitely be back. read more

Super disappointing experience. I went here a few years ago and the food was really, really excellent. Both times I ordered the veggie sandwich and years ago. It was this massive sandwich loaded with vegetables, well toasted bread and a light sauce. But this time it was, sparsely populated with "vegetables" loaded with a sauce that I cannot get the flavor out of my mouth, and the bread was soggy with butter. Appetizers were even worse. Brussels sprouts, fried and away as to make them actually wet and calamari that had a weird stink to it. I know this place has some of the best farmhouse atmospheres in town, it just can't seem to keep a consistent Chef employed. Super hit and miss. Maybe try again in a couple of years after they turnover their staff. read more

I love the look and feel of this place. We sat upstairs where there is a rustic cool light fixture and bar. The stone walls are gorgeous. Saturday night prime rib was enjoyed by my hubby...Was above average and he liked the option of choosing from several vegetable choices (sauteed spinach, for him) in addition to the mashed potatoes it also included. I started with a wedge salad, which was delicious and quite large. For my entree I had the hamburger with fries. The burger was nicely dressed with the standard lettuce, tomato and onion, but was also topped with smashed fried cheese curds! Nice touch! The fries do have a batter, which the server did mention when I ordered. Not a huge fan of the fries. The server was attentive and efficient. Was shocked at how quickly the soup and salad arrived. The entree timing was not shabby either. Glad I checked out The Stamm House! read more

The restaurant is very beautiful, you see the stone cave and wood furnitures perfectly organized together with the lights in this place, and immediately feel classy and cozy at the same time. The service is very nice. Started with the smoked beef tartar, which I was so eager to try when I first saw it through their website. It's like an egg yolk over smoked raw grounded beef with a taste of mushrooms and mustard on the side. It turned out to be the most wonderful experience I've ever tried with starters! Everything is mixed so well together. We also ordered the Friday night fish fry and sirloin. The fish fry was very crispy on the outside but juicy and tender in the inside. The medium rare sirloin was also very delicious, with its wonderful flavor and texture. read more

1847 at the Stamm House is full of character with a great old school cottage look and cozy atmosphere. The drinks are strong and the breading on the cheese curds are light and flavorful. This breading might be my all-time favorite on cheese curds. I generally do not get salmon at restaurants, but the server was insistent that the salmon and Brussels sprouts were fantastic - I do not regret taking this recommendation. The salmon was flavorful and perfectly cooked, the Brussel Sprouts sat in a light sauce that really took an already well charred brussel spout to the next level. I was happy to see that the portions were not small. I wasn't able to finish my meal, and took some home. I would definitely go back for another date night and possibly indulge in only cocktails and desserts. read more

Yes, I am a fan. I was hesitant after reading the mixed reviews but took the leap. I was very happy with my choice. It was a bit of a drive from downtown and in traffic but I was quickly seated upstairs with the graduation crowds. The place smelled of fresh cut wood and added to the homey feel. I ordered a scotch ale and enjoyed the happy alcohol content. For starters, I was given some bread that was nothing to write about but my salad was fresh and delicious. I would definitely get the green bean and artichoke salad again. The main point of coming here was to get the hashbrown crusted walleye. I was very happy with my choice. It was crispy outside and juicy in the middle on a heaping pile of more green beans. Love it. I wanted a chocolate dessert but was saving room for pie. Came back for the roast chicken and brussel sprouts and loved it. The only place I have come back to on one trip. Will definitely come back again. read more
