    Old fashioned sours
    Jackie V.

    We had a fabulous meal tonight at Gibs on the Lake in Kewaunee. We started with sour old fashioneds. They were excellent- nice and strong. It was German night so we shared the "gypsy" schnitzel and the German meatballs. The schnitzel was particularly good. The sauce on the meatballs was also so tasty and the red cabbage was just right. For dessert we shared a pink squirrel. Of course the view speaks for itself. Outstanding service too. We hope to be back soon!

    Been driving past this place for years. Finally decided to give it a try. Reservations are highly recommended on Fridays. The dining room is a bit dark with brown wainscott and magenta wall paper. The view of the lake is spectacular. The service was spot on. Very attentive and friendly. We had a artichoke ramekin for an appetizer...it was really good. Their bread is house made and really good. Then we had pasta dishes with shrimp. Which we enjoyed a lot. A couple of well made gin and tonics complemented our meal. Bottom line, this is a classy restaurant that specializes in steaks and seafood. If you want to go vegetarian you'll need to stick to salads and sides. We'll be back.

    One of the few old-style supper clubs left that serves excellent food! Went here for a birthday dinner and it was great. I get a birthday card in the mail every year and love going here regardless! Been to some of the top steakhouses in Vegas and this was on par with them and was delicious!! This place is the best around and I highly recommend it!

    Classic Supper Club and very nice dinner outing on a wintery night. We had 4:30 reservations but it wasn't necessary as place was not very busy and there was plenty of space and atmosphere was relaxed. We had a wonderful server, Melissa. We enjoyed strong mixed drinks and fantastic entrees. Breads were great-especially brown bread with baked in sauerkraut. I had salmon which was the nightly special. Excellent! Also had the highlighted salad with mandarin oranges and feta. Also the carrots and rutabagas-quite tasty. Husband had a piping hot bowl of excellent clam chowder. Also sirloin with mushrooms and hash browns. He thought it was delicious! Steak tender and properly done. Lovely view of lake from our table. Pink Squirrel ice cream drink to end the meal. Top notch! Only criticisms would be the room was a bit cold, radio a bit loud and not all of the staff wore masks.

    Always a staple every time we frequent the area, which is frequent. Gives an old Chicago fireman and wife a comfort you can't get here. Always appreciative of your hospitality. Aces all the way around.

    9oz filet mignon with a side of Gibs potatoes, which are, creamy flavored potatoes covered in cheese.

    Decided to have dinner with my mom. This place never disappoints. We both started out with old fashions, which are muddled and made perfectly. Then we had the scallops and the 9oz filet mignon. Both entrees were delicious! The filet was almost like a tower, about 3" tall and I added the garlic and mushrooms. My mom has the scallops which were served on a bed of spinach and topped with sun dried tomatoes and capers. She loved her food as well. This place never disappoints and will keep this on our dinner rotation!

    Stopped on a whim, heard good things. Had the fettuccine Alfredo and hubby had chicken Marsala. Homemade pasta and sauces! Beautiful lakeshore view too. Server excellent, food excellent. One personal complaint; no burgers or sandwiches.

    Gibs special with knockwurst

    2020 sure does STINK, but Gibs Thanksgiving takeout is a welcomed treat. Just finished our delicious meal and have leftovers. Can't beat this awesome deal. Thank you Mary & Mark for putting some sunshine into this holiday.

    Rouladen with dumblings at 'Gibs at the Lake'

    It's been a while but really like to leave a review and just let others know how good their German Food is..... I am from Germany and have been living here for 8 years. So far I tried quite a few Restaurants which offer German food , but until now didn't find one that good like 'Gibs at the Lake' ! Wednesday and Thursday do they offer German food and I as a German who grew up in Germany in a Restaurant Business(Granpa was a Chef &Teacher) can tell everyone - The German Food is delisious and taste is just like back home in Germany!!! I highly recommend this place if you want to try German Food!!!

Get there early or you'll end up waiting. Don't drink? Too bad; if you don't get there early, you'll wait. Salad bar (which I love), not here. Muddled old fashioned, not here. Cozy atmosphere and solid customer service, definitely in the right place. We arrived with a veteran couple. They got us there early, understood the ordering routine and found us a place to sit. We ordered appetizers and drinks. Definitely get the onion rings as they are incredible! Drinks were solidly poured and reasonably priced. We ordered and were surprised by how quickly we were seated. The vegetable tray and bread basket were good. Our meals came out shortly after we were seated. The salads were nice sized and the blue cheese dressing with crumbles was great. Our entrees (ribeye, tenderloin with chicken, prime rib and fish) were all sized nicely and prepared as ordered. My dining partner said the chicken was some of their all-time favorite. My ribeye was seasoned well and cooked perfectly. Our dining partners loved their choices. Overall, I'd really like to give 4.5 stars, but my pals at Yelp still don't trust half stars. We all enjoyed our experience and will definitely put this on our list of supper clubs to return to!

We seek these dishes out when traveling in Florida. The dishes here were equal if not better. Cathy, the exceptional server who makes a fantastic old fashioned, laughed at how clean our plates were. We had never had tuna crudo or tomato burrata before but both dishes were equally pleasing. Highly recommend this restaurant if you're in the area, or worth a trip if you're not.

All were full and was told that if we were to dine outside our meals would come out faster, but I would have to come back inside to place orders. Took a picture of the menu, which other than what the protein was did not go into a description or what would come with the entree. Came back in with orders and was first told need card to put on hold then said, maybe just charge for entire ticket might work best. So that is what I did. The card machine also asks for the tip up front as well. Meals come out fried fish platter for two, which I was told was better deal for our two folks than ordering each separately really didn't come out any different then what they were getting if single order. Seabass was maybe 4 inches by 4 inches in size and the grits were not creamy like you would expect, but clumpy. Asparagus was thinner than a pencil and tasteless. My granddaughter's steak looked okay, but she had to cut it with a plastic fork and knife as none was provided for any of us and meals all came out on paper plates. Everyone except for the seabass order came with fries and we had to ask for ketchup and a squirt was added to the paper plates. No one came around to see how we were enjoying our meals or if we need any refills (husband had to go in and get a glass bottle of tap water for the table.) If the staff would have come around and checked on us they would have gotten an earful. I get now why they want you to pay ahead of time and not at the end of service because no one will becoming around to check on you and they want their money up front. I would not have tipped generously for what we were served and how we were not checked up upon. This place to the locals may be a gem, but to folks on vacation wanting a great meal and overall experience it was not. Over priced, lack of service from staff, not so great food and lack of indoor seating. If I could it would have been no stars.
