Great view of the river. Good food & good service, although we were not offered dessert which we would have ordered. I liked their bar area as well. I'll probably come back just to sit in the bar overlooking the river. Very relaxing. They rent nice looking Pontoon boats from there too. read more

Brats at the beer garden are a must when you are on the chain. Been going there for years and will continue to do so. Dinner selections are good and service is good. read more

The food is good and it's a nice place to be after a day out on the lake. Best for dinner or fish fries, and the deck is a nice area to sit if you want to have a drink with a great view. And I have to say to the woman who posted Wisconsin is a "racist state"--I've lived in Wisconsin my entire life. I'm sorry you had a bad experience, but to call the thousands of people that live here racist because a few people looked at you wrong in a town of less than 8,000 is rather bigoted of you. I've visited California and found a lot of people there to be rude, bitchy, and plastic, but I'm also aware that there are others there that are extremely nice. You see, I understand that a few people in a small area do not represent the entire population. read more

Arrived on a weekend night without a reservation but only had a short wait at the bar with a nice (strong) brandy old fashioned. Ordered the tenderloin alfredo and it was wonderful, four pieces of tenderloin with pasta in alfredo sauce accompanied with a bit of balsamic vinegar for the steak, accompanied by a nice glass of red wine. Service was fine - I would recommend Chanticleer and will be back. read more

Unbelievable that this this place is still in business. I called ahead to make a reservation; they don't take them. I asked how long the wait might be, and he said there wasn't one. We arrived in under 10 minutes, and there was a considerable wait. He quoted 30 minutes, and it ended up being more like 45. There is no outside seating, except to wait for your table. When we were finally seated, we asked about any specials and were told they were out of prime rib--their Saturday special--which is what we came for. So we ordered something different and while waiting, asked for a bread basket-- they were out of bread (made us wonder how they were going to make our sandwiches). Some of us received salads (tasty, but very small), and then we continued to wait. After an hour and a half, the waitress finally asked if we wanted anything while we were waiting for our food--although she offered nothing that wouldn't require more waiting. Our sandwiches arrived, alone on the plate, and the ciabatta buns were over-toasted and the chicken dry. Most restaurants would at least apologize or offer to comp a meal or dessert, but not here. The meals were overpriced for the quality, and all-told, this was probably a three-hour endeavor. I could get a better sandwich at Costco for a fraction of the cost. We will never go there again. read more

Food was okay. The service was far from excellent and the order was incorrect. When we told the server she responded by telling us it was too busy, they were tired. We won't be returning. read more

My bf and another couple went to the Chanticleer Inn for a birthday dinner. You could tell our waitress was more than exhausted and pretty much done for the night. We had orders at our table that were wrong and when we told our waitress she said the kitchen was really busy so she didn't think it was a big deal that they had screwed up multiple times. But then she never fixed it on our bill and when she was confronted about it she still never changed anything. Don't plan on returning. read more

Stopped for a fish fry a few weeks back. Great service and wonderful food. Waitress was very pleasant as well!

Very nice and restful place to stay. Rooms are nice quality on the water. The Saturday night prime rib was fantastic.

We had a very nice dinner at the Inn. Window seats to watch the parade of boats going by was a great treat for a beautiful summer evening. We had the Friday fish fry and wild mushroom ravioli. Very good. Service was friendly and efficient. Prices are reasonable and the brandy old fashioned sweets are sweet! read more

I have been going to Eagle River for years. There are to many good resorts to waste your time with the rudeness you will be met with at the Chanticleer Inn. I reserved a cabin for two nights. Unfortunatley for me because of last minute circumstances i had to cancel. I called and told the owner of our situation and also told him I was sorry and hoped he could find a last minute replacement. Before we ended the conversation I asked if he was able to rerent If I would receive a refund. By the way, we paid in advance for the rental in full! His attitude about giving me money back, however he couldn't have seemed more uninterested in that idea. I called back the following week to find out he could not rerent. I asked if there was any way he could give us part of the money toward a future stay and was told that wasnt possible also. Really!!! So take the $700.00 for the two nights and stiff a customer that had unusaul circumstances arise and then act put out when I ask for some sort of cooperation. Please take our word and go see Laura at Eagle Waters Resort and you will be met with kindness, respect and appreciation. Shame on us for even trying to go somewhere else. read more

We had 26 people for a family reunion stay for a week. Can you believe that we got a reservation, but when we got there, they said they do not take reservations. Besides being rude, they did not care that we made reservations nor the fact that we spent thousands at the resorts. Very unprofessional and uncaring. read more

We love the Chanticleer. The view is beautiful and the staff is courteous. I ordered the shrimp and it was excellent. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. read more

We went to the restaurant looking forward to a great dinner due to previous years of pleasant experiences. However, we left extremely disappointed in the quality and quantity of our meals and were extremely disgusted with the response we received from the waitress and manager when we spoke with them about the issue. We ordered two shrimp dinners and two rib dinners. The salads were miniature and wilted, and the food quality was poor at best with small portions. The manager on duty acted like he could care less that we were disappointed in our meals, said sorry and walked away. When I said I was shocked at his response he came back and acted like he was disgusted with me, saying he didn't know what he could do to make it better. I said for starters he could comp at least one of our meals. He again walked away without saying anything further. He later returned to tell us that one of our four meals would be comped, and walked away before we could even acknowledge him. Due to poor quality of our meals none of us were able to finish our meals. We will NEVER eat there again, and have told many people to avoid eating there now given that the quality of the food and staff are completely unacceptable, especially given what they charge for their meager meals. What was supposed to be a special treat for our family ended in disaster and disappointment. read more

I have been here perhaps 2-3 previous times over the past several years when I visit my parents in Eagle River. On this occasion, my parents were kind enough to watch our toddler while my wife and I went out for a rare date night. Chanticleer is nearby so we headed there. We walked in to the hostess, who appeared to be 14 at most but was later seen serving alcohol, so who knows...). She asked for our name without saying hello or welcome. She told us to wait in the lounge. We asked how long it would be (usually info volunteered by the host/hostess) and were told 30 minutes. No worries, we though. We are not in a big rush. We sat in the lounge near the bar, though neither of us drink. We had a clear view of the dining area and could see 3-4 empty tables. We thought maybe there were impending reservations or perhaps are held for guests of the resort. While we waited, not many customers seemed to leave or be seated. After 30 minutes, a couple parties were seated. We thought surely we would be next. After 55 minutes, we finally got up and asked the hostess what was going on, noting that we had been there for 55 minutes and that several tables were still empty. We were told it would be another 20 minutes. With that information, we decided to leave. As we walked past the hostess stand, another group of people had walked in and asked the hostess how long it would be. They were told 30 minutes. My wife, incredulous at that point, asked the hostess "Excuse me? We were told 30 minutes an hour ago and now were told it would be another 20 minutes." The hostess replied flatly "The situation has changed". With that we stormed out, vowing never to return. What bothers me is the complete lack of communication (were they short-staffed? out of food? etc.) and the rude behavior exhibited by the hostess, no apology for misinforming us which I am convinced was intentional. She was lying to people to get them to stay. We went down the road a bit to Twelve Pines, were seated immediately, and enjoyed a nice meal with friendly service. read more
