Went for their Sunday Brunch and was delighted! You can either do à la carte brunch/lunch or all you can eat. Our table decided to do all you can eat. We got started off with fruit and bagels and lox with pastries. Then we got served the mains, eggs, ham, bacon, sausage, potatoes, and everything was so well seasoned and delicious. Then you have the option of going to the buffet for pasta, omelettes, waffles or dessert. Food was great, service was great and we had a really nice table by the window which looked out over the lake. I love the inside with all the decor, it's all so fun to look at. Will hopefully be back soon! read more

This review is for a private event we held at The Golden Mast. Our non-profit organization needed room for 250 attendees, and from the first planning meetings we found Jackie to be knowledgable and prepared in every way. The pricing was very appropriate and we were able to explain our hopes and found that no issues were experienced. We were able to setup the day before, which was a true gift. On the day of the event we found everything in order as hoped, including the audio/video equipment with two screens, tables and linens for our auction baskets, as well as a breakfast that served quickly and while the food was still hot. There is lots of parking and every request we made was handled with ease and a professional response. We plan to return for our next event. read more

Fantastic Saturday dinner! An old world ambiance and next time I plan to come back earlier in the day to enjoy the lake view. Made a reservation in advance and were seated right away. There were certainly open tables so walk ins could certainly be possible. Tons of options on the menu so there's something for everybody. Worth keeping in mind that entrees come with bread and cream cheese spread, soup or salad, and a starch, so you can likely skip over the appetizers. I tried the German Combination and was thrilled. A true tasting fest with thin and crispy weinerschnitzel, a burst of flavor in the beef rouladen, the salty and extra crispy duck, a side of spaetzel, and a side of vinegar cabbage. We had a birthday in our group and the server was kind enough to bring a shaum torte to celebrate - the merengue base was a bit hard but the topping was light and fresh. We also had the beinenstich cake which is super moist with layers and cream and soaked in honey - yum! Well taken care of the entire evening as service was top notch. read more

We enjoyed our second all you can eat Sunday brunch at the Golden Mast. There are several brunch courses served. Juice, coffee or a glass of champagne are included. Mini bagels with cream cheese, smoked salmon, capers and red onion. Tray of assorted muffins, danish and Kringle. Fruit, shrimp cocktail. A tray of sausage, bacon, scrambled eggs, crisp potatoes. Turkey and roast beef. Cheese blintzes. There are Omlette and Pasta stations. A wonderful dessert table with cakes, crème brûlée, large chocolate covered strawberries, chocolate mousse. A table making flaming Bananas Foster. Service is leisurely. You don't feel rushed. Time to enjoy your food, your dining partners and the view of Okachee Lake in a warm, classic dining room with fireplaces, stained glass and beautiful woodwork. read more

April 18, 2026 Had a party of 10 for dinner at 5:30 pm. Four of us ordered seafood chowder it was served Lukewarm. Informed server of this so they could tell the chef. Steaks came out and one was just warm the other 3 came out over cooked (were ordered med rare, they came out med well). 2 steaks were sent back. They did comp us 2 sample platters of dessert. Very disappointing for the amount of money we spent ($170.00 a couple). Not returning anytime soon. Get a new Chef! The Dinner Club! read more

The restaurant is beautiful and the view is amazing. Our waitress was fantastic and kept us in delicious food all afternoon. We were there for the brunch buffet. We did not have any complaints about the food at all - table service and the available omelette station and waffle bar made for a wonderful experience! read more

Been a looong time since I've been here and first time having the Sunday brunch. Reservations needed as it was packed! Lovely decor, and ambience, as always overlooking lake and service with a smile. This is definitely a place to relax and not rush. Small cuts of meat consisted of beef, turkey, ham, which was enough for me but I would think some might think they were too tiny portions but I like to try everything so it was perfect. Love the hot fresh pastries, pasta bar with all of the toppings, nice chilled, shrimp cocktail, and plenty of desserts, including bananas, foster. bonus, champagne, and another beverage is included. read more

Great server. Bland, low quality, overpriced food. Hopefully a one off instance with apparent struggles of managing an event + holiday traffic. read more

Golden Mast is a perfect place to take someone for a solid meal and great views! We couldn't get over how pretty the lake looked while eating. The service was fantastic as well! I got the seafood stuffed roughy and really enjoyed how light the fish was and the stuffed inside was delicious. Then the sauce on top made it great! I had to doc them a point because David's tenderloins tips had barely any beef on it! So that was a bummer. But overall, I personally really enjoyed my meal so I am still going to give it 4. read more

One of the best fish fry's we've had in many years. Everything was delicious. It came piping hot and there was so much fish I took some home. Cole Slaw is the best ever. I'd LOVE to have that recipe! (Hint hint) Bartenders and servers are friendly and efficient. Can't wait to return. read more

We love everything about Golden Mast. You won't be disappointed. The food, service and beautiful is hard to match. read more

First time here. They were somewhat busy when we sat down. My husband and a mutual friend were with me. Had a beverage in the bar, prior to dinner. Beautiful place on a beautiful Lake!!! I had a craving for a fish fry, which I haven't had one in years! So, I had the cod, my husband had the perch, and our guest had the roasted duck. Our fish fries were nothing special. Came out barely warm, but we waited quite awhile, and we were all starving. Our guest said his Duck was dry. Service was a bit slow, but she was busy. I'm glad I finally got to try this restaurant!!! Would love to come back when it warms up and sit outside!! We will be back! read more

Awesome breakfast buffet and fish fry on Friday night. We drive from Brooklyn WI to dine here and the view of the lake is beautiful

I am recommending the Golden Mast from afar, based on the experiences of friends and family over many years. It is located in a beautiful park-like neighborhood overlooking the fabulous Okauchee Lake, about 30 miles west of Milwaukee. A diverse menu with German influences, and a fantastic Friday fish fry. Also a typical supper club type of bar, serving the state drink of Wisconsin, the Old Fashioned. Take a look at the website for their history and photos. I have an especially fond feeling for this gem, having grown up just around the corner from its hilltop location read more

Hello all; Well here I am again on my round of restaurants and this one is a TOP Shelf Place!. I had called for reservations as you will need them and I advise you to do this at least three days in advance. It's very family friendly with their hudge beautiful hall and a very senior friendly wonderful front area near a hudge fireplace. There is also a nice upper area all with views of the lake. The food was hot and fresh. Best service. They are always around you making sure your coffee cup was not dry. The bar was so warm and old school class. It was nice to be around clientele that enjoyed looking their best and just loving a nice time out. You have got to go!. read more

Service was good but the fish fry wasn't. Fish fry and no taste to it. It was family style but the tiny dishes severed with coleslaw and potato salad were only enough for 1 person and we had 7 in our party. Won't be returning. read more

We've been to Golden Mast many times for the fish fries, and have always loved the ambiance, beautiful views and the food. We decided to come for the Sunday brunch for Mothers day and I had made a reservation several weeks in advance. What a great buffet and brunch. A wide selection of food and all items were tasty and well prepared. Service was on point and included a glass of champagne. We will be back. read more

Went for a Sunday champagne brunch with a group. There were stations to make your own pasta combo or an omlette station. There was also a table of pre-plated desserts. The table was also served a breakfast platter, turkey/prime rib, and cocktail shrimp. It was so much food and very good. The only downside was the timing. It took so long to get the family sharing platters that you kind of filled up on the self-serve stations. Service was very friendly. read more

We had a wonderful time at The Golden Mast on Sunday, May 4th. George are bartender- a 40 year veteran - mixed up some delicious martinis for my friends and I. Our server Julian was so kind and helpful with his suggestions ( nice tip on getting a side of the hot bacon dressing with our bread service sir .) And the views of the lake were breathtaking indeed. Cannot wait to go back. Congratulations to everyone involved. read more

Saturday evening reservation: Eggplant lasagna, scallop special and purrrfect soup were some of the selections of our party of three. All loved their choices. Perfect fall setting read more

Sunday brunch is amazing. Sunday brunch when the Golden Mast is decorated for Christmas is something not to miss. Our group had some food allergies, and our waitress made sure to accommodate each and every one of us. She took the time to explain how things work, where to go, and who could eat what. Overlooking the lake even during winter is a beautiful setting to celebrate with family. Highly recommend for that extra special place for a special occasion. read more

On Tuesday nigh, we tried this restaurant after 6years of avoiding it due to a poor experience while entertaining 10 employees. Well, I will start with the restaurant was not super busy. The bread was nice and warm, the cheese pate was very tasty. Seafood chowder, was cold, sent it back the waiter said "this one is warm, but I don't think it's hot"! Well we did not eat it, we brought it home so we can warm to the perfect temp. The stuffed roughy, was good again it was not hot, the double sweet potato was good, but not hot. The perch strips were cold and tough and the spatzel was lukewarm at best. I am unsure of why the food was not served at an appropriate temp. I also am not sure that the food would temp out if temps were taken in the kitchen before serving. Not sure we will go back for another try read more

It has been a few years since we last ate here. We again brought my parents who have enjoyed coming here for special occasions. We had an early reservation on a Thursday night. Since we were early we were able to take advantage of 1/2 priced drinks at the bar before 6pm. The bartender made a very good Old Fashioned. After a short wait we were seated. The hostess apologized for the wait due to a shortage of staff. This is becoming more of an issue at many restaurants. We got a great seat in the window overlooking the lake and the boat launch which during busier times can be very entertaining. We could have eaten out on their patio which we checked out afterward and looks to be a great space. Our server was very professional and really hustled due to shortage of staff. We started with the bacon wrapped shrimp with risotto - while pricey they were delicious. I had the seafood chowder which was a good but a bit too thick. The others had the spinach and beet salad with hot bacon dressing which got a thumbs up. Two of us ordered the stuffed roughy which was excellent though some might think there is too much butter sauce (can there really be too much butter?). The side of spaetzle was solid as were the garlic mashed potatoes. The salmon entree was also a hit as were the chicken cutlets. Too much food so no room for desert. Overall we had a great evening. read more

I won a $50 gift card to Golden Mast and decided to go one evening after work. To make sure I used to entire amount, I ordered the bacon wrapped shrimp and three cheese risotto appetizer along with the roast duck and spaetzle entrée. For dessert, I got a piece of key lime pie. I liked the bacon wrapped shrimp, but wasn't a huge fan of the risotto. I'm not sure what was in it, but there was something mixed in that looked maybe like mushroom. I wish the description on the menu was a little more descriptive about the risotto since that's half of the appetizer. The shrimp bisque was good. I've not had bisque before so I don't have a basis of comparison to other kinds. For the bread I was given butter and strawberry banana pate. I wish I hadn't bothered with the butter on one of the pieces of bread because the pate was wonderful and should have been the only one of the two that I used. I LOVE duck and theirs was fantastic. I'm pretty sure it was just duck from Maple Leaf Farms, which you can buy in some grocery stores, but I can never seem to get mine to be as crispy on the outside and tender on the inside as Golden Mast did. Bravo. The spaetzle was good, but could have used a little butter drizzled on top. I liked the key lime pie, I just wish it didn't have the syrup (maybe raspberry?) on the plate. I thought that distracted from the flavor of the key lime, which was unfortunate because I love key lime and didn't want to be distracted from it. The view from the dining room of the lake is amazing. Their patio wasn't open when I visited, so maybe I can enjoy that on a future visit. read more

We just had dinner tonight (if that's what you want to call it) to celebrate my birthday. My husband had a rib eye steak and I had surft and turf. His steak was raw in the center when he asked for medium well. He sent it back and the microwaved it too get more done, which made it tough and not very flavorful. My lobster tail was overcooked and dry and rubbery. Both steaks were covered in gravy and burnt mushy mushrooms. There were also overcooked veggies on the plates. For $200.00 I expected much better and that was after they took $25.00 off the bill. We will not be back. read more

Ambiance is nautical and it has an amazing view of Okauchee Lake. It has a boat launch. The food is excellent. I have had awesone steaks here but fridays visit was for their fish fry. Served family style they bring out potato salad, coleslaw, cod fried fish or broiled Cod, french fries, potato pancakes, applesauce, and tartar sauce. Its all you can eat so they bring more of whatever you run out of. Prices are reasonable. Service was EXCEPTIONAL. Our server had only been there a month and he did a phenomenal job running for our large group of 11 people. Desserts looked good but we all got ice cream drinks. They are big - maybe share with someone else. And those were great too. Nobody left hungry and everyone was VERY happy with the food and service! read more

This restaurant has Decent food and great view. Overall a good value!!! The restaurant is worth the visit

Although it's a nice setting, food is bland, presentation looks gross, not very many options, and there are so many better fish fries in the area. read more

Food was bland. Mushroom ravioli had no flavor and the veggies were not cooked all the way. All you can eat cod was mediocre. Chicken Gabrielle was flat and tough. Took two hours to even get our food once we sat and it took an additional hour and a half to be sat because they skipped our name on the waiting list. Waitress was nice but overall a horrible experience. Do not recommend. read more

Ordered a to go Friday night fish fry. Micheal (hostess) said what time to be there and was there a few minutes before. My husband picked it up, got back to boat, opened it up and it was all cold, and they gave me perch instead of cod. Back tot the docks, husband took it back, and back to the boat he came with reheated fish. Gross. Rubbery hot fish is about as bad a rubbery cold fish. Golden Mast, when someone has a complaint about food temp of fish, do you teach them to put it in the microwave? read more

the staff inside the restaurant are wonderful. however, a woman in the parking lot was monitoring what cars came in... which I could understand since a wedding was inside too. unfortunately because I am a young 25 year old, she likely thought something was up with me entering this restaurant, and she followed me in and she questioned me multiple times and rudely told me to leave and move my car If I wasnt eating there. I had ALREADY told her I am meeting people there.. my mom was actually already in there waiting for me at her seat/table.. I didn't know where she was seated though. I got questioned MULTIPLE times by this woman and the people at the front desk mentioned something to me once.. I shouldn't have to explain myself multiple times and then get treated rudely. The way she spoke was rude and seemed like she didn't respect me whatsoever. I don't want to be a "Karen" because I come here every year but that was unexpected and made me feel like I shouldn't go there. Super weird experience.. I've been coming here since I was little. read more
