Horrible food, horrible service. Will not recommend to anyone. The place used to be a gem two owners ago. I give the new owners less then a year. When I returned my food because it was overcooked and cold , the waitress told me that if I wanted a new plate, there was 8 people ahead of me before the cook could get me new food. The bartender was slow and half the time not in sight. Never once gave a review before but I had family in town and thought it would be nice to take them to a new place after seeing them in the pages, Big mistake, read more

We ordered their filet, stuffed with gorgonzola cheese and topped with bacon, served with choice of potato, and a vegetable. The steak was supposed to be top notch, purchased from a local butcher. We both ordered a medium done steak. My wife ordered the sweet potato fries which were sweet and good. I ordered the beer batter covered French fries. Both our steaks were over cooked, well done and then some. They were the toughest steaks we have eaten in a long time. The gorgonzola cheese looked like it had been injected into the steak. It might have filled a teaspoon. Not "stuffed" as advertise. The beer batter fries were not battered. They were regular fries. And no vegetables!! The responses were: "We didn't make any vegetable today"!! And, "That's the way the fries are. We have a new vendor." It was about the worst $20 per dinner I've spent. We met some people that ordered a burger that was supposed to be decked out with lettuce & tomato. They didn't get the lettuce & tomato!! The manager offered a gift certificate for a dinner but I refused because the food was so bad I won't be going back. If you don't have what is on the menu, like the vegetables and special fries, the customer needs to be told before ordering. read more

Love it, wings are very good, stuffed tenderloin is amazing. Good luck Kevin we need the Homestead open for good!

Stopped into this place for a Friday night fish fry. Arrived early and had a drink at the bar and check the place out. Nice people working there and the fish buffet was good. Would we go back, yes if i the area but not to make a special trip. read more

Homestead Inn - the buffet table - Bars Near Me - Wausau, Wisconsin

This place is a S show. Four bartenders walking around and only talking to apparent acquaintances. Took forever to get a drink. Food service was terrible. Waiting 30 minutes for appetizers and when that came only half the table received theirs. Second appetizer came 20 minutes after along with our meals. Can't order drinks in the dining area, oh, unless you know your server. We asked for another round of beers and was told we had to go to the bar. As I sat back down a waiter asked a group if they wanted another round and went and got them. Also saw another table have cocktails brought out to them. It's sad that will be the only time we stop in there. There food was actually pretty decent. Experience was terrible. read more

first visit shortly after reopening food was good and service was ok. 2nd time we went w a party of 10 there was no cook and we were turned away. 3rd time i noticed it was a very limited menu, bar food, burgers appetizers, sandwiches and none of it was very good. i also notice if you are not a regular they do NOT care to make you feel welcome at all. all done with it now. read more

Three of us had wings and a steak. I ordered the "XXL platter" expecting an average mix of appetizers...... Holy crap it can feed 8 people. Good stuff too. Cheese curds are not pre frozen. Wings were very good, steak was good Only drawback was the service, they had a band when we first got there but i had to go looking for a waitress and when i asked for menus she tossed one in front of me. Might have been different if we went on a normal food night read more

Went there recently with my Mother for the Fish Fry! There were four of us! The food was incredible and the service was excellent! I understand they now serve Mexican Food also! Was given a taste of their soup which was incredible! Will definitely be going back to try this out regularly! It seems he new owners took this to a whole new level! Happy they are open with new owners that care! Prices were reasonable and food was delicious! read more

Love The Homestead. Nice folks. Great home style cooking. Broasted chicken is the bomb. Friendly bar. They have nice family style seating.

While outside town, this restaurant/bar is worth the trip! Theres a great buffet with fresh food and the weekend breakfast is very tasty. The management saw a change several years ago. Having the new owner stop at your table to make sure everything's ok is a regular occurrence. Give it a try, you wont be disappointed! read more

First and last visit was the day after Thanksgiving. The bar was crowded and the bartender looked like she was enjoying as much Holiday cheer as the patrons. The hostess was pushing the buffet featuring clam chowder. We were tired and hungry from hunting all day and decided the buffet was a simple choice. The chowder was cold and tasteless. The salad bar was depleted of lettuce. The rest of the buffet was all deep-fried except for the chicken which was the only thing with any flavor. Worst buffet I've ever had, anytime, anywhere. So many things were wrong, there's no reason I would ever go back there. read more

The food was absolutely terrible , I would not recommend feeding this to starving strays let alone people. My burger was like a burnt hockey puck,the sopes were barely edible. read more

During the 1990's and 2000's this was the BEST fish fry in the Wausau area. The last several years it has gone downhill so much Went there for Friday fish fry. It was semi-busy but it was obvious the staff had no organization. It took 15 minutes for us to be seated while there were open tables, 10 minutes for someone to come and give us forks and place-mats for the buffet (after we asked for them), and then we had to track someone down to get drinks. People had to wait for buffet food to come out. Now when the food came out it was good and that is why it gets two stars. I will go back but only because I have had so many positive experiences there but if this happens twice in a row I will move on. read more

This place reminds me of growing up...I always had the fish fry, or the delicious denny burger.

I was there not too long ago on a Friday night, there was 1 bartender she was trying to cook and bartend, the beer was over flowing, people were waiting for service and the drinks tasted watered down. I loved the place when Denny had it, was a bit leery when Tim and Lori took over and was pleasantly surprised but since Lori's the one running the show now their food and service has gone downhill quickly. read more
