I really, really want to love Bibingers, it just hasn't had the wow factor. I've tried a main dish, a specialty drink, and they are not bad, but they are not great either. It's the price point as well. Had the fish fry last night, again, wanting to love it, but it was ok. The breading was well seasoned but the fish itself was just ok. Not huge portions and not enough to really fill you up. The coleslaw again was just average. I love a place that takes the time on trying dishes, drinks and ambience, but for me, it's been disappointing on the food twice. Please step up the food, I really believe the place is beautiful and don't want to see it empty again. read more

Ok we went on a sat night. 5:30 pm there was a 45 min wait. Went to bar. Drinks very expensive. A 10 Ounce draft beer was $6-7. Got seated within 30 min. Waited an hour with no food Or explanation. Finally manager cane and said she knew we ordered steaks. One of us did. Apparently the steak was overcooked, so they were making a new one and apparently that takes an hour. Wondering if they remade the schnitzel too since that would've been cold. Spaetzle was hard dry overcooked. Yuck. But we were starving and ate it. Cauliflower was roasted overly brown. Manager offered me a drink. Didn't say whether it was on house. It was. Steak good but I was weary from waiting. An hour is too long. Server never checked in. Prices steep so not ok. The Steak was awesome. PRIOR VISIT: Seasoned butter was slightly too cold-it wouldn't melt on mashed potatoes or steak. Offered us extra dressing then charged for a tiny cup. Allergic to cabbage so waitress said they'd sub in a side salad. Later charged us extra. Never informed us. Gave us the $2. Then gave us someone else's tab to sign by accident. Took some time to sort out. These errors and overcooked food caused me to drop to 3 stars. read more

Their specialty old fashioned drinks are worth a trip. Service can be lacking but if you don't mind sitting and staying awhile the food is good and the drinks are delicious. read more

Rip off. They hardly give you any food. Not worth the money. Food was cold when it came out. When I go out for a meal I want it to be brought to the table at a decent temperature, not send it back to be nuked in the microwave. This place is noisy as well. They could invest in something to absorb the sharp, blistering sounds that bounce back and forth off the walls. Waitress was decent. Feel bad for her...the backhouse may affect the fronthouse. Not a place I will be returning. My advice...save your money and time. read more

Decent food - cheese curds were festival quality while burger was very dry. Fries were hot but hard. Charged $1.00 for a side of basic mayo. All in all a decent, but not a wow experience. You should be embarrassed charging for a basic condiment read more

Bibinger's - They charged $1.00 for a side of mayo pretty sure the last I checked a gallon of industrial mayo runs about $9.00, but okay ‍ - Gastropubs Near Me - Slinger, Wisconsin

ONLY COME FOR THE BUFFET. I had come here once before for their Easter buffet and it was very good. This weekend, I took my family back for Sunday brunch and was EXTREMELY disappointed. It started fine, we ordered our drinks and got them but after that we weren't served for 20 minutes. It was like our waitress disappeared. Then, we ordered our food and waited for another 20 minutes (understandable). My family all got their food except me. I was told that it was just being finished up. I waited 15 more minutes for my food and it came out cold and hard. The rest of my family complained their food was cold too. Overall not impressed. read more

Been here 3 times now and there will be many more visits. Incredible old fashions. I'm born and raised in Nashville and know what good hot chicken should taste like, and theirs is on point!! I just wish there was an option to make it a bit hotter! Also, if you get Mrs. Cheryl as your waitress.... you hit the jackpot! read more

We had the cheese curds as appetizer and a few drinks. You can't go wrong with the cheese curds, if you're going to share get a few orders. The old fashioned menu is to die for! I got the ginger old fashioned and was hooked! For dinner I had the pork schnitzel. It was perfect! Lightly breaded and just right. We had the cinnamon bread pudding and chocolate torte. I loved them both but would encourage you to try the bread pudding! We will be back. Bibingers tells a story. The food is homegrown, the juices are fresh squeezed, the ice cream is even made from scratch. Great place!! read more

What an absolute awesome place the owners and staff are the best and the food yea definitely 5 star!!!!

With this being a restaurant with the bar next to it the environment is cozy even with the noise. We ended up getting there by 4pm not realizing the kitchen opened up for dinner at 5pm. The staff was nice to seat us and informed us that appetizers were still able to be ordered outside of the dinner menu items. I ordered the wedge salad with steak cuts, I asked for the steak to be cooked medium well and they made it to perfection. The way they displayed it on the plate made it look like there was not all lot, but there was more than enough to eat for the value. There was a small issue where two of the people I was with did not yet their sour cream with their burrito, but this was not a necessity you them and they said it was not worth asking about a second time. this is a restaurant I would suggest to anyone, if you do not plan on going after 4 make resurvations. theyou fI'll up quick, and we can taste why. read more

We have been here before and loved it. The old fashioned are outstanding but our dinner was not so great. Ordered prime rib and salmon this time, the salmon was very good but the prime rib was horrible. Cost was 45$ and it was mostly fat, what was edible was tasteless. Manager was agreeable and suggested the bill would be adjusted. When bill arrived only 12$ was taken off. Very disappointed and will not be going back. Steer clear of this place. read more

Our party of 4 dropped in on a friday evening and ate in the upstairs bar area. Aaron was our server and was outstanding.. Personable, informative, and excellent service. We had the nachos starters which were very ample.. Two of had the fish fry--It was was excellent--I had it broiled..with the baked potato--Not too heavy- Just right! We also had the Pork duo, and the BLT which were enjoyable as well.. Nice selection of Craft beers.. Reasonable --but it gets crowded even with the two levels. Thanks again to Aaron for a great evening! read more

We really enjoy the new Bibingers. The renovations look great and the space has a warm and open feel. Since they are close to home, we come here often. There are about 8 beers on tap, and the bloodies are really tasty. Comes with a Rhinelander shorty on the side. I really like the meatball appetizer. Reminds me of my great-grandmothers meatballs, and being in her kitchen as a child (she was born in the Sambuca region of Sicily). The Bib burger and Johann burger are both great choices. The steak and pork schnitzel are both excellent, and my wife ALWAYS gets the short rib. Be prepared to wait if you don't have a reservation, but trust me, it is worth the wait. Just hang out at the bar and have a beverage. The owners and staff are very friendly and helpful, and always make us feel welcome when we come to Bibingers. read more

Had a cheeseburger and the French toast. Some of the best! Excellent service, very clean, and will definitely come back!

Been here several times as I'm a huge supporter of local businesses and we could use more good ones in the area. This place is a modern pub feel with friendly staff who seem very accommodating even on busier nights. I've not experienced slower service others mention. but it wouldn't surprise me as they've only been open a few months. That'll improve, and as long as staff friendly, doesn't bother me. I care more about how good food/drink is. Food: Overall they have unique flavorful food with some classics. Memorable food I've had there: Bibinger burger (my favorite part is the thick cut bacon). Mexican Quinoa Salad- awesome GF option that tasted really garden fresh. Pork schnitzel is the a must try, words can't explain that deliciousness. Drinks: Not much of a craft beer drinker but as others mention the Old Fashion's are amazing. Creative menu and they have the really good cherries in their old fashions! Looking forward to going back and trying other items on the menu. read more

Best restaurant I've been to in a while. The drinks were amazing, all the food was amazing, service was amazing. It's a little bit of a drive from milwaukee but is so worth it if you're coming from the city. I will definitely be back! read more

Summary: Fantastic new restaurant right outside West Bend. Great place for a date night, a casual lunch/dinner with a group of friends and family, or to grab a beer and catch the game. Food: I've now been to Bib's more than a handful of times and have tried a number of menu items (e.g. cheese curds, meatballs, Bib's burger, steak, short rib, pork schnitzel). Definitely start with an order of the cheese curds. They're some of the best I've had and come with a choice of house-made dipping sauces. For dinner, my personal favorite is the steak. I cook steak quite often at home and am pretty particular, which makes me somewhat hesitant to order a steak at restaurants. I can say this steak dish far surpassed my expectations. The meat was a perfect medium rare and the accompanying mashed red potatoes were delicious. If you want a true German dish, try the pork schnitzel. Atmosphere: The place is caked in history and shows it with the original support beams from the barn and classic signage from both local and national businesses. The downstairs is very comfortable with a large bar for additional seating. I've heard the upstairs is also available for event rental. There are a number of TVs for watching sports/events. Service: Every time I've gone, I've been met with a welcoming smile. The first time I went (first week after opening), there were still some kinks to work out, but it's clear from each subsequent visit that the service has greatly improved and continues to progress. read more

Fish fry was great, the breading was great and the tartar sauce had great flavor. I didn't love the cole slaw but the classic old fashion made up for it. read more

Awesome food! We were staying in Jackson and came to this place. Big plates. I ordered the fried chicken sandwich and it was huge! Service was great. We had a nice server named Riley. We ordered cheese curds for the appetizer and they were great. A little less breading would have been better, but still great. Looked like a clean place and great environment. Would go back when in this area again. read more

Bibinger's - Gastropubs Near Me - Slinger, Wisconsin

Your meal here can be summed up by the fact that the owner personally stops by every table to ask how your visit is going. Wonderful, attentive service. And the food - wow! We started with a great cheese and charcuterie board. Two in our party got the Cranberry Bleu Salad with Salmon and four got the Bibinger burger. The salads were great (that's what I got). The burgers were reported to be some of the best our party has ever had. The owner stopped by and we asked him about the burger - he reported that the beef is harvested from cattle less than a mile away. Plus, they have gluten free buns available! read more

Great food for sure! Nice restaurant bar atmosphere. Good service. Will be going back.

What a fun traditional Wisconsin bar and grill! Food is good, the staff are friendly and helpful. I'll be back!

Waitress service is fast &! friendly. Food is just okay. We each had the fish fry. The fish was good. Potato was just ok. The bread was hard like it was sitting out awhile and the tartar actually looked like German potato salad. Bartenders make a fantastic drink but they're really not so friendly and not so quick to fill you up. All in all it's just ok, but they need to do better. During COVID, we are picky about where we throw our money and we won't be throwing it here for a while. read more

While this place is quite a distance from where we live, it's worth the trip. It's tucked away in the suburbs & looking out the window all I could see were the tree tops. Quiet a difference from the city. Our waitress Kaitlyn was wonderful. Sense of humor, knew the menu & had great recommendations. We started with a appetizer..the bruschetta with parmesan & goat cheese was delicious. read more

Nice place! Great fish fry and the tequila old fashioned was fabulous. Nice list of craft cocktails, including different old fashioned drinks. Definitely going back. Make sure you make reservations or you might be out of luck though. My family went there on a busy Friday night and I could see several people being turned away who obviously didn't have reservations. read more

Arrived at 7:00 and told 45 minute wait. No problem at all - they make great old fashions. Seated about 7:45. Asked for the catch of the day....shark and it was sold out. Asked for the walleye....it was sold out. Ordered goat cheese appetizer...it never made it to the table. My wife ordered the salmon and she said it was wonderful...I settled for a burger. We love this place so we will give them the benefit of the doubt and will come back again. read more

Mores from Milwaukee to the West Bend area and have been looking for new restaurants in the are. Found Bibinger's on a restaurant search. The found was very tasty, but the braised rib was adequate but small for the price. I would recommend it. Megan, our waitress was very attentive and helpful in describing the contents of the meals. Looking forward to returning. read more

2 couples visited Fri, Jan. 5th '18 for fish fry. Seated within 10~15 min of reservation time. Friendly, smiling staff all around from hostess, waitress, bar tender to bussers. We were pleasantly surprised that with the open bar/dining area and large crowd, it was not annoyingly loud. We didn't need to shout to converse. The rustic wood does a good job on the acoustics. Tequila old fashioned ordered was good - not sent back - but it was not as described. We suspect she received someone else's order. Three regular fish fry and one walleye. The walleye was excellent. The fish fry, just so-so. Three of us felt the breading on the fish was odd but couldn't put our finger on why. Same with the tarter sauce ~ just weird ~ not the typical creamy, tangy, mayo, relish type recipe. Coleslaw definitely needed to mellow out for a day or so because it had a sharp bite and strong onion flavor. Nice, rustic, updated supper club type atmosphere. Decent food, decent wine, beer, and drink menu. Maybe a smidge pricey for Friday fish which is an ample portion but not "all you can eat". read more

I've had some amazing experiences here over the last 18 months. Unfortunately, they've changed chefs or recipes because since July 2021, I've experienced the worst food I've had here. The appetizer, soup, and entree were severely under seasoned and the Pork Schnitzel tasted like it was from a dining hall. Incredibly disappointed in the food. If the drinks and staff weren't awesome I'd give it a one star. read more

Awesome food and service last night! My friend and I stayed and chatted for awhile and the staff made us feel very welcome.

Went there for the first time. Horrible food! Fish fry was like eating adult size fish sticks that have been in the microwave too long. The walleye my husband had was smoochy. The topping on top of his fish had absolutely no flavor. Perhaps it was a bad night, but we won't be back read more

I started dining here a year an a half a go after moving into the area. My experience was wonderful at first. The last two times we had dinner the food was so salty I couldn't eat it. I literally come here for my favorite dish braised beef short rib an couldn't eat it. My husband's brick chicken was also super salty. What is going on Bibinger's your food was once awesome. I realize you have a new chef I would advise paying more attention to the amount of seasoning put into the food. read more

This is our second time here. We came back one year later after finding this gem while in town for a gymnastics meet. Our girls ,( 7 & 11) say the kids cheeseburger is the best one they have ever had! I had the Spanish Salmon, which was delicious, and my husband had the feature NY Strip. Fantastic all around. They have a delicious assortment of old fashioned's and a great wine selection too. read more

Get the cheese curds. Seriously, just do it. Forget anything else. Cheese curds!!! I dream about them. They are the stuff Kingdoms would go to war for. I jest. Kind of. Just go. read more

Quality ingredients, truth about occasional long wait times, half a dozen different old fashioneds, a variety of fresh tap beer, friendly wait staff and bartenders, and delicious food. Clean and upbeat, this place has it all. The massive bibingers burger with Schwai's bacon and awesome beef (forgot the maker)... To the Pork Schnitzel. I can't wait to come back and get the bibs Mac and cheese with blue cheese. Get the Clock Shadow cheese curds, and you won't be disappointed. read more

Have always loved Bibingers, but Friday night was a disappointment. Food was below average to what we're used to. There were 7 of us, and we all ordered fish. It was over cooked and not very tasty. The bread was also very stale. None of us finished our meals. Drinks are good and our waitress Sara was very good, but a very disappointing evening. read more

Truly enjoyable experience every time. Chef makes outstanding food and creative menus for the seasons. From the kind greeting to the time to leave we have great service. Thanks for creating a great place to eat near Slinger read more

Great menu executed very well. Love tequila Manhattans. Quick service very professional staff. Check them out.

It's a very unique place which drives the prices up a little bit but it's hard to understand which dishes you want to try due to complex explanations on the menu. I had the Three Little Pigs and it wasn't super special or tasty, had a weird after taste. read more
