Later on your table server comes and gets the order from everyone that will be at the table. In a few minutes the server returns to take you to your table. You pay your bar bill and head to the dining room. The table is already set with bread and the relish tray. Entrees were ordered while in the bar, so now you have some time to enjoy your company and cocktails. Between four of us we ordered the BBQ ribs, an 8oz filet, the Lemon Pepper Baked Salmon and the prime rib. All were very good but not great. I would pass on the haystack onion rings. Kind of undercooked and messy. Wisco is a very legitimate supper club, you'll have a good time.

I was recently heading south from Fond du Lac around dinner time on a Thursday and decided to see…read morewhat I had bookmarked between there and home. Of the choices, The Wisco stood out because of an all you can eat ribs special on Thursdays, so I stopped there along the way. It's crazy how much food they give you that's not even a part of what you order. They brought out a relish tray containing carrots, celery, crackers sticks, and homemade chips (pieces of fried tortilla) with dip/spread options including ranch dressing, liverwurst, and a brick cheese spread from a local cheese maker (which was particularly great). There was also a small loaf of bread, pickled beets, and a cup of pasta salad. With my meal I got a side salad and upgraded my potato choice to their Wisco Fries, which are seasoned potato wedges covered with alfredo sauce and bacon bits. In retrospect, I'd rather just get wedges and have a side of the alfredo to dip them in as the wedges did get a little soggy under the alfredo. By the time the ribs came I was getting pretty full. I managed to eat the first plate and only got one reorder consisting of two bones. Parts of the ribs were on the dry side, but for the most part they were good. Note, they did come to the table with sauce already on them. Although much farther off Hwy 41 than I was anticipating, I enjoyed my meal at The Wisco and would make the trip out there again, especially to try their all you can eat fish fry.

They give you a pull tab which contains: half off, full price, etc,. Very cool. My first G&T was half off! Vegetarians will have a rough time finding a full course but appetizers are vast. Being Wednesday, they do have a taco theme but I opted for the regular menu items. Cheese curds are fresh, not greasy, very good. I ordered the "Grilled Cheeseburger" over the "cheeseburger" thinking it was a grilled burger? but I was pleasantly surprised! Overall very satisfied with the food/drinks, a definite repeat. ($33, before tax, for the curds/burger/3 drinks) Pros: Touch Tunes connectivity Attentive service Cons: debatable - I'm fine with a medium well patty, but they didn't ask how I wanted it...

Once it's your turn to be seated, the buzzer will go off and away you go. Since it was Friday, we had to go with a fish fry. There's plenty of options - walleye, bluegill, perch, haddock, frog legs, and all you can eat pollock. Love that they had both german potato salad as well as potato pancakes as side options. We opted for the haddock and the walleye. Both were excellent although the haddock breading was a little soggy and pulling away from the fish-most likely a sign the fish was damp before breading or covered while resting. My walleye was breaded to perfection. For the price, you definitely don't walk away hungry. Our server checked in a few times and was pleasant. Overall, just a fun place smack dab in the middle of nowhere. Cheap drinks. Good food. Friendly staff. How it is supposed to be.

I thought it was a little fishy and could have used more seasoning, but it was perfect for him. I had the haddock sandwich, and it was delicious, exactly what a fish sandwich should be. We also loved Wendt's house tartar sauce, and that it's served in squeeze tubes, but the real star of our meal was the cheesy seafood chowder. Good grief, it was outstanding. After more than 60 years, it's easy to see why Wendt's is still going strong. They take pride in what they do, and it shows.

Well....we really wanted to leave a better review but I think the chef lost its taste buds. I…read moredon't like to leave bad reviews based o one meal but what we ate here tonight made it so we will never come back. Everything was way too salty. We Both ordered the smokey molasses seared Pork chop and it should have been labeled as salted Crusted Pork chop. The pork chop itself was very tender. Mine was a little undercooked so my husband traded with me As his was medium done. They both tasted the same however, so salty we could not finish them and did not want to take them home. We both had garlic mashed potatoes. My husband and I had a disagreement if the potatoes were real or powdered . I voted for powdered because of an after taste whereas my husband thought the aftertaste was related to the garlic. Delivered to our table was a small loaf of garlic bread which was fresh and soft but not necessarily tasty. Next up was soup which we ordered differently. I had the French onion. This was Not a baked French onion but a salty beef broth with ample cooked onions. There seemed to be bits of melted cheese in the little cup making me think that at some time There was some French onion soup prepared with the cheese melted on top and what was left got dumped into the soup pot. My husband took the chowder. He took one bite and pushed it away. He said it was Horrible. I was reviewing everything so wanted a second opinion. I took a mouthful and agreed that it did not taste like any clam chowder I had ever eaten before. It was flavorless and bland. Between the two of us we may have eaten one of the 2 pork chops. I even tried to scrape the top of the pork chop off to reduce the salt but it did not work. On the plus we got there around 5 on a Friday evening and were able to get a table right away. Our waitress looked sad and like she was just going through the motions but she was adequate in refilling my husbands soda and getting our meal to us right away.
