Here how I saw it first hand. Came in gent gave us a #95. Said have a seat at the bar & we said we have another couple joining us. He sent go around the back of the bar put a menus on the 2 seats next to you & you'll be good. DEF not the case when this elderly couple come in with an appearance of regulars (chatter boxes with the bartenders/staf) and just pick up our saved menus from the 2 seats directly next us & sat down. I immediately jumped up & said those 2 seats are saved for a couple that were literally right behind them. They were jabbering with the 2 bartenders and my military voice must have fell on def ears. THAT piss me off. Told me friends that the fish better be the best NE Wis has to offer or my wife & I will NEVER return to pour a beer on the fire ever to save the place from going down. How friggin rude for a Friday Night Fish Fry. So we 4 took a tall still table & waited to place our food order all the whilst pounding an Alaskan red & 3 old fashions. Now mind ya I'm older then these 2 geezers but they just thought those seats had their name on them for centuries. Bollocks & Rubbishly Rude, Hope ya choke on a fix bone for your disrespect of my party. 22 mins go by we are escorted to our sit down table & I asked if anyone else wanted a top off, to which we agreed did. Sittin in front of the keg spouts clearly see me with a empty pint, and three old fashions glasses. And waited for nearly 20 mins for our second round & when I sat down to eat me walleye pike & it's as cold as it was caught right outside the pub. Im not gonna waster 4 pieces of damn fine swimmers on ignorance of the barmaids I smothered them with tartar & mayo & gobbled them done. No sorries, no apologies dididnt even ask how the fish suppa was. I'm like WTH. Our friends who live 7 miles from them were horrified. They eat there EVERY Friday & once during work week. Hell the fish we get @ Lodge Kohler seafood butter had better flavor. Nothing a few grams of Malden sea salt of both straight and smoked could have cured. None of THOSE salts were even on the menu or table. Needless to say, my wife & I will return with our freinds of 45 yrs but the hauttie tautti rubbish has got to be left at door. Just shameful. Pure Pish !!!! I'm giving the pub side 2 stars and the house sode 4 stars - the servers were a pure dead pleasure & YALDI !! Oh and we arrived 1515, not a seat in the chow house was available but plenty of pub crawl stools. read more

I went on a Friday around 4:15 and the restaurant was packed already! The Friday perch fish fry is delicious! The breading is light. The fish is flaky and not greasy at all. I ordered the double and I got a huge pile of fish! The baked potatoes are always good with a crispy skin, yum. I don't know how they make so much good food and move tables. The severs are busy! And friendly. I think the prices are reasonable. A server told us they have about 1,000 customers on a Friday night! Be prepared to wait a bit but order a tasty Old Fashioned. read more

Crowded, but staff was friendly, efficient, and cheerful. Came at 5:30, and I had to wait at the bar for about an hour. ( but the quality, service, and price, make it worth the wait) Bartenders were fast and friendly. Drinks were delicious. I had a whiskey old-fashioned sweet. That was one of the best I ever had. Waitress came to us in the bar to take our order. Then, she came back later when a table was open. Food was great. Chicken, baked potato, Cole slaw, and stuffing. The only thing that I did not like was the stuffing. It was ok, but was more of a paste like consistency than fluffy stuffing . Then at the end they brought a little cup of ice cream to finish the meal. Great prices, great value, great food. read more

First off, the fried food is not too bad here, and the cheese curds are the best thing on the menu. BUT their owner might be one of the worst humans in the area. I am currently trying to eat cleaner and lower calories, so that means no fried food. I ordered their filet/tenderloin for this reason, and I ordered it medium rare. We get sat, our sides come out, everyone else's food comes out (group of 4, fried fish), and they tell me mine should be coming out shortly. 10 minutes later my steak comes out, and it's medium well. I ask for a new steak, since I ordered it medium rare, and they take it away. They bring me back the same steak 5 minutes later. The waitress said the cook cooked it more. I told them that it was already over cooked, and I wanted a new steak. They then brought out the same steak and said it was rare. I cut into it and it's basically a hockey puck. I then again tell them I wanted it medium rare. Then I wait 20 minutes for the steak to come out and it's medium on one side and well done on the other. I eat one bite and by this time I'm done. I'm with my family, so while I'm in the restroom my mother ends up getting the waitress to get the manager, who end up being the owner. The owner tells me "Well you got the steak." He basically said he lost 3 dollars on the meal and that it was our fault the food came out that way. We weren't looking for any free food, we were just looking a sorry, or maybe even a well cooked meal. He claimed "it usually takes 50 minutes to cook 2 steaks", keep in mind I'm a cook at home and grilling is my specialty, so obviously he doesn't know how to cook a steak, or have the intelligence to have good customer service. This man (the owner) was the cook. I think a monkey, or the cow where this beef came from, could have made me a better steak. This man is a horrible human who only cares about money and his fragile ego. This message is for the owner. Hopefully the 3 dollars you lost on the 2 hockey pucks you gave me doesn't put you into bankruptcy. You're a greedy, life sucking leach and your employees don't even like you. Sell your business to someone who knows how to cook and can run a restaurant. read more

It' never fails to have both good food and service. The waitstaff works as a team makes the dining experience flawless.

Great food, quick service. Bonus Packer paraphernalia everywhere! I had the perch and can't wait to return!

I went here with a friend on the recommendation from another friend. I wanted a good steak. We arrived at 530 PM. The place looked like a car lot. There were so many people there and they open at 400 PM and close at 800 pm. We entered read the sign which said take a number and a menu and we'll be with you as soon as we can. Since I had never been there I had to ask a nice gentleman just entering if it was worth the wait. He looked around the place and looked back at me and basically said all of these people are here for a good dinner and smiled and said yes it's really good. We took our menu and number and found a table in the bar area and about 20 minutes later a nice young lady came and took our order. About 10 minutes later a girl came and walked us to our table and immediately brought us our salad. As soon as I took the last bite of my salad a huge steak and all the fixings were brought to our table. The food was tasty the service was outstanding and the follow up to ensure everything was done to our satisfaction was prompt and polite. I was not feeling rushed but I did notice how quickly the servers turned the tables over. I received so much food that I did take a to go box home. Even though I was completely full I admired several other plates of food as looking very appetizing. This place is definitely on my favorites list. Oh one little reminder on the ambiance if you are from out of state as I am, don't go if you don't like the Green Bay Packers. It's definitely a packers restaurant with several pieces of great memorabilia from the Green Bay Packers. read more

We normally love this place. Tonight they forgot our order or something. Patiently waiting at the bar, until, finally it was they forgot our order or something. It seems to be going down hill. Sad. read more

This place is not all that much to look at, the atmosphere is just so so, but... don't let that deceive you. If you're looking for super delicious food and excellent service. This is the place. I love a good perch fry and Redwood has the best I've ever had - and you certainly don't go away hungry. This place is super popular so know it will be busy, especially on a Friday night, but the wait is well worth it. read more

Redwood Inn - Single perch dinner - yes, you get two baked potatoes. - American Near Me - Green Bay, Wisconsin

Food is great and you get so much of it. Cool atmosphere and friendly staff. Recommend the perch and broasted chicken.

Went here 4/2022 Place was packed. DrWs in a lot of people. Bar was packed. Was there at 4:39 and waiting for a table 45 mins. They have a lot of neat Packer memorabilia on the walls. Part of a up right on the walls from a field they practiced at. People are polite and professional. Helpful. First time there. Just too many people for me to really enjoy it and was hard to find a parking spot. Food was reasonably priced. Waitress helpful. I went for the salmon. My buddy Chris for something friend up for fish. My advice go early or later. Cuz it packs full on a Fri night. Until the next review, Yelp Steve-O, out! read more

We tried Redwood Inn for the first time and were highly impressed. The wait staff was super friendly and extremely helpful. Since it was our first time there, they were more than willing to explain everything to us. The bartender we had was super friendly and good at her job. The overall place was super clean and a fun atmosphere. And for the food, it was amazing!! Every single thing we had was delicious! We will definitely be going back!! If you are in the area, try this place because you will not be disappointed! read more

Dare I yelp an institution - oh yeah. Bar prices are great and they need to be because you will be waiting there for a long time. If you're new to the Redwood here's how it works... when you enter you will be handed a number and menu from a silent hostess- That's not slang for anything, she really just looks at you saying nothing. Find a place to hover near the bar and wait for an opening. About 45 min.A woman will find you and your number and take your order - then more waiting. Now that you're 2 sheets to the wind cause I forgot to tell you to pace yourself, you'll be led to your table... This last part moves pretty quickly. You get your food within minutes of sitting down which is great cause you need something substantial following the liquid apps you enjoyed. So now you know whyou're getting into. The fish fry is fine to good but seriously the place was packed so what do I know. read more

I generally don't leave one star reviews and it's a rarity that I leave a restaurant without actually having the meal. The Redwood Inn bar staff managed to see us searching for the exit within a few minutes of our arrival. Here's what I can tell you about the Redwood Inn. They are cash or check only. There's an ATM on site with a $2 service charge. Cash only is a turnoff in the 21st century, but I can deal. The restaurant is in a dated rather bland building with an interior somewhat resembling a open banquet room facility. We arrived at 4:30 on a Friday and the place was already pretty busy. We did the bar check in to get our number to have a waitress come take our order. The older female bartender made no offer of information as to how long the wait would be. It looked like several orders were being prepared for carryout. I don't know if this is a standard for the Redwood or just something because of social distancing and Covid concerns. An older woman (60's+) wearing a facemask stood next to us to pick up her carryout order. She gathered her to go meal and left the bar area. As soon as she walked away the female bartender (50's+) exclaimed rather loudly to a Male bartender that she believed anyone wearing a facemask deserved a kick in the ass for doing so. Personally, I don't want to wear a facemask when I'm out and about. That's my choice and it's not for me to criticize someone else that chooses to wear one. I don't know why someone chooses to wear a mask and it's none of my business. I can appreciate there are many people that continue to have great concern about the Covid situation. I found it reprehensible that a bartender would be so rude towards a customers personal choice. You are operating a business and in the current climate should recognize people are more health conscious than ever before. What type of hygienic approach is Redwood Inn taking with their food preparation if the staff wants to kick someone in the ass just for taking priority in their personal safety. The perch smelled pretty good, but no thank you Redwood Inn. We took our dining dollars elsewhere. read more

Saturday evening broasted chicken dinner is fabulous! Chicken skin is crunchy and well seasoned. Chicken itself is juicy and delicious. Large portions. Highly recommended. read more

Come in, take a number and have a few drinks! If it's the weekend it's probably going to be an hour or so. Worth the wait! You can tell by how packed it is. Serving size is outrageous. Want a baked potato with your entree? You get 2!! Want fries? You get a plateful. NEVER order anything but the regular portion because you either have to have expandable pants or you will be taking food home. I've had the Cod, Chicken, Pork Chops and they are all great. But the Perch may be the best meal of them all. Looking for a taste of Wisconsin? Look no further. read more

Redwood Inn - Okay... this is a single Perch! What hell is a double?? - American Near Me - Green Bay, Wisconsin

Friendly service. Wait for a table and food was less than previous time. Food is good typical "family style" broasted chicken. I find it irritating when businesses advertise that they take credit cards, but tack on a fee to use one, as they do! read more

Perch is the best anywhere!!! Family run for decades. Nothing better!! Great beers on tap, Packer memorabilia and great atmosphere!!

This is an old school super club with a limited menu. Arrive early and I mean like 4pm early. I once showed up at like 6pm and had to wait till 8pm to eat. You get your drink at the bar (strong old fashions here) and then you wait your turn to place your order with a waitress. This trip we waited about 20 minutes to do this and two rounds of drinks. Once your food is ready that is when you are seated. This took about 30 minutes since we showed up so early in the evening. I ordered the single perch plate with fries. If you look at my pictures you will see that a single is 6 filets of perch. Enough to feed an army after being paired with all those fries. The coleslaw is served to the entire table. I do like the cook on the perch and the fries were fine nothing special. I did not like the coleslaw it was runny and not seasoned at all. Service was not the best. The waitress taking our food order was not patient when one member of our party had questions on a menu item. I am pretty sure when one of the waitress's dropped food and my mother-in-law tried to help her she literally told her off in the worst tone ever. I would say if you are looking for an excellent super club experience now a days there are better places. read more

Owner of the redwood inn restaurant we ate at this weekend... this is how he like to treat his customers. Shows great respect in the business world uh? Will not be going back. Btw it was a review and a honesty opinion which people have a right to now days.... he has many negative reviews on his page if you dig a bit for being rude! Please feel free to share this post.... My response in case you are wondering... Bill was 35.00 each hell for that black otter has a better deal or dick and Joan's with better food.

Redwood Inn - American Near Me - Green Bay, Wisconsin

We have been waiting to get into this place for years. Finally the opportunity came. I had fish fry my husband had frog legs he said they were delicious. Food was good, service was good, but don't go if you can't wait because you will have to wait. read more

Having visited Wisconsin for practically every year of my life, I have yet to find anywhere that does fish fry as well (and as often) as Redwood. My family followed them from the tiny little bar to their beautiful new location and it's one of the "must go" places on my list when I visit. I love that you can get fish fry practically every night of the week, and the portions are generous. I always get the single perch with baked potato, which gives you three large perch fillets (butterflied, so really 6 fillets) and two baked potatoes. Always end up with a take home bag, and it's just as good the next day reheated. Their tartar sauce is so good I get a bag just to take some home, because store bought sauces just won't do. It's a great system they have. Go the bar for a drink, place your order, and when it's ready you can sit down and tuck right in. The service is great, everyone's friendly, and the decor is very Wisconsin - Packers stuff all over, but not cluttered. I've had the broasted chicken and the smelt before and they're all great, but I always get the perch because that's a fish we don't get down in Florida. The best way to end the meal - a little cup of grasshopper (mint-chocolate) soft serve! read more

Great food at great prices! All of the staff are friendly and attentive. I have never had anything but a wonderful meal with leftovers for the next day! Thank you Redwood Inn and if you keep this up Will keep coming back!!! read more

First time there in person. Quite frankly, not sure I'd go back. The perch meals and burger meal were delicious. The food and old fashioned were definitely a 5. The wait and more importantly, lack of service? I'd give it a 1. Not once during our meal did anyone ask how our food was. Food was delivered and didn't see our waitress until we were all done eating. We knew we would be in for a wait. The wait staff definitely visited with and were super friendly with the regulars. Most definitely a lack of service across the board with all customers. read more

My family, and I have been regulars here for 40+ years, and the food, and table service has always been excellent. That being said ... the sooner the owner wises up and fires the unpleasant gossipy sow behind the bar, the better off they'll be. Arrived about 11:10, and sat at the bar while waiting for my parents to arrive at 11:30. Upon walking in, and sitting at the bar, it took the old sow quite a while to acknowledge me, and take my drink order. Why you ask ... she was too busy with a couple of others, gossiping, and backstabbing a "friend" of theirs who is currently hospitalized. Had I not been waiting for my parents, I would h e gotten up, and left. C'mon John, she's reached her shelf life, and needs to be fired. read more

It doesn't matter what time you get there. We got there at 3:59. A minute before opening on a Sunday. They made us sit and wait at the bar for 45 minutes. Drinks were cheap! But we had heard about the wait times and being our first time there, we thought we'd beat the crowd and get there before they open. Nope. Doesn't matter. They keep you at the bar and take your order from there. And it got crowded! Folks were standing waiting around the bar. As we stared at a large mostly empty dining area. When we first got there, there were two groups of older folks at tables. Already seated before opening, eating. So I dont know if they were owners, or just really VIPs. I've never been to a place like this. There must have been close to a hundred people in there before they started seating some of us. We got and the cauliflower appetizer, tenderloin and ribeye. It started with a meh salad and bread. Then the steaks came out. Ten minutes later the appetizer showed up. The dinner was decent. Tenderloin was way better than the ribeye. We had left overs and ended up recooking the ribeye to make it more tender. Dinner was followed by a grasshopper in a styrofoam cup which I really enjoyed. I only recommend this place for drinks. There's better places around. But I must say, 99% of folks were getting the broasted chicken. So maybe order that and not the steaks, if you go? read more

Not a place to go with a group of friends since they dont allow separate check's. Food okay but nothing special.

Friday Fish-Nothing to brag about -First time here with family, Long wait -Drinks must be purchased at the bar, separate transaction each time. -Fish and Chicken breading was plain, had no salt, no taste. Fish was rubbery. -Have you ever deep fry or baked frozen breaded shrimp or breaded fish from grocery store? Yes, taste like that. -Place was full of baby boomers, feels like dining in nursing home. I figured the no taste no salt will ease people with high blood pressure attracts the type of people who go there who gives good reviews. -Very pricey compared to other place. -Styrofoam cups for water, plastic chairs -Fries good -Coleslaw good. 2 fish fry orders, they gave us one bowl to share. -Friendly waitress. Door greeter and bar tender does not have customer service etiquette. -Will I go there again or refer a friend? NO, not worth the wait or $ read more

I have been to a few Friday fishfries. This place is The Best! Got there a bit past 4:00 to find the joint hopping. But we got drinks ordered, found a table at the bar and had enough time to chat, people watch and order a second drink. At that point, our order was taken. We had a short wait before we were told our table was ready. Then came mountains of food. This place has it down to a science. No one eats in the bar, your food is hot and fresh from the kitchen AND THE BEST! We both got the perch and it was great! I saw noone leave without their doggie bag. They are friendly, not pricey and the food is delic! read more

My co-worker told me this is her 'spot' for fish. My wife and I decided to try it out at 6 pm'ish. True to others reviews it was packed. We lucked out and shared a table near the bar. The bar tenders were friendly and the beverages were cold. A lady came around and took our order while we waited for a table to open up. We went with walleye, perch, mushrooms, and cheese curds. I figured, hey, why not for the wait. As soon as we sat down at the dinner table the food started to roll out. The mushrooms were quite possibly the best I had. . . at least for a long while. They actually tasted like a full fresh mushroom. If you go with baked potato for side then you will get two small ones. Wife and mixed and matched. I preferred the baked over her fries. My walleye was really good and breaded just right. I dislike the thick, crusty, and overcooked breading. This was far from that. Perch was three butterflies. Coleslaw was more of a creamy slaw and quite tasty. Both fishes were quite delicious! Why not 5 stars then? Well, the wait. . . but we knew that going in for Friday fish. The cheese curds were nothing special. Overall, a very enjoyable meal with my wife. read more

Went because my mother wanted perch and we've heard good things about it . It took them 20 minutes to seat us, rudely at that, as we needed two tables together. Finally seated and we get ignored for 40+ minutes waiting to order, we almost got up to leave. When ordering, the waitress was snappy and kinda rude. We sat and sat waiting. Food comes out and it wasn't even that good! Hardly anything was hot and the perch didn't even have a good flavor or even a flavor at that. The two bake potatoes weren't warm and if you order fries it ends up looking like your main course was a side order for fries. We requested a new plate as there's a dirty plate on the table as they said cleaned it. A waitress took it away. A minute later we ask our waitress for more butter and she handed us the same dirty plate just with butter covering the stuff on it. read more

Came for the fish fry on a Friday night. Arrived before 5;00 and the parking lot was jammed. We were told it would be an hour, maybe a bit more. I hate to wait but it is a good sign. About 20 minutes before we actually sat we were approached for our order. I said we'd like to sit, order drinks and then order dinner. We were told "that's not how we do it". I got the impression we would not be seated unless we had first ordered. Okay, you can tell I didn't like this but In the end, they lost drink revenue and I drink enough anyway. Enough of the negatives. We sat and our food arrived within minutes. We each ordered the Walleye w baked potato. There was plenty of food. Three nice pieces of Walleye and 2 baked potatoes each. On the table was a small bowl with a small ball of sour cream. For me, enough sour cream for one potato. There were three of us and we each had two potatoes. I asked for more and we each ended up with one small serving of sour cream. A side of cole slaw to share was also on the table . The food gets 4+ stars, the pre order drops it a star. I just don't like that and I would have enjoyed a pre dinner adult beverage. But the fish was really good and cooked just right. A few things to know , cash or check only. The fried chicken observed at the next table looked really good and while folks tell you to go early I'd suggest going at or after 7:00pm. We were leaving then and there were tables open. read more

Wow people are such touchy trolls in their reviews. The vocal minority is so easily disappointed. Food at Redwood is fantastic! Fish fry perch or walleye are excellent. Chicken is moist and delicious. For the adventurous the frog legs are the best I've ever had. All four are arguably the best in the area. What's up with two baked potatoes? Yes there's a wait. Get over it or don't go. Friday and Sundays are really crowded. The crowd on Sunday is unbelievable. read more

Great food in Green Bay. Great price. Great Service. Never disappoints. Try it.

First and last time ordering from here. The owner posted a menu in the Brown County take out group that advertised lobster. Called to order and was told by a very sweet waitress they don't have lobster on Fridays. Even though it's on the menu the owner posted I said ok that's fine and ordered something else. I then replied to the owner's comment in the group with "Called to order lobster and was told it's not served on Fridays " I commented as a courtesy to others who may call to order it. My boyfriend went to pick up our food and was completely caught off guard when the owner chastised him because "his wife accused him of false advertising." That was not at all what I did nor was it my intention. I called to clear things up with the owner before leaving this review hoping it was all a big misunderstanding. I am in absolute shock over his reaction. Instead of apologizing and at the very least showing me an ounce of respect, he was extremely defensive, wouldn't let me talk, interrupted me, and argued. At one point I told him he didn't have to yell at me and he insisted he wasn't yelling, "that's just the way he talks." He argued that his waitress told him I said it was false advertisement and "misleading." That was not at all what I said but he wouldn't believe me. Instead he responded with, "You wanna talk to the waitress? She's right here!" I was literally in tears because of how rude and demeaning he was. He also forcefully insisted that I listen to him "explain what happened" - he had to "throw $600 worth of steaks away cause of the Coronavirus." I tried to explain that we tried to support him but he wouldn't back down. He never once apologized and insisted that he "did everything he could by giving me an extra piece of chicken that I didn't want. All I wanted is for us to be treated with respect. I apologized for any miscommunication and it's awful that he couldn't be bothered to do the same. Never in my life have I had a business owner speak to me in the manner that he did. I will never be back and would advise anyone to never spend their hard earned money here. read more

I don't know why this place rates in the top ten. The perch was awful from the breading to the low quality fish. My husband had the cod and was deeply disappointed. My husband does not ever waste food. We took home lots of leftovers pretending to be full because a friend was picking up the tab. My husband tossed them in the outside garbage as soon as we got home. It was the worst fish we've had in the 50+ years we've lived. Also, the atmosphere is far from pleasant. Don't do it. Or go there so I can say "I told you so." read more
