Wow! I am so surprised I haven't checked out this supper club sooner. We went on Saturday for the all you care to eat ribs and shrimp and it was so good. The ribs were so tender and the sauce was amazing! I love their take on onion soup, it feels so hearty and less sweet than a regular French onion soup. Donna was our server and she was so personable and attentive. The host/manager (an older man) and bartender were also very friendly and kind! It's a pretty small space so it can be a little loud and they fill up quickly so make sure to make a reservation. I definitely will be back thanks to the food and incredible service! read more

We stopped in to get dinner and were pleasantly amazed by how delicious the food was. How great the prices are. How fun the place looks inside. And how fun and incredible our waitress, Nora is! We had the shrimp and ribs special with baked potato. Started with a delicious chicken dumpling soup and excellent white wines. Then the fall off the bone ribs and nice size fried shrimp came. Everything was done perfectly and brought out quickly by our most skilled waitress we have seen in decades. She didn't miss a thing. Every detail thought of. No wonder drinks are named after her. So we tried her signature nutty Nora after dinner drink-sooo good! We are planning to come back tomorrow too! And come with my husband next visit. read more

What a great place with great people serving you. I had all you can eat ribs and shrimp on a Tuesday evening. That and a $4 Old Fashioned for under $25! Amazing! The bbq ribs were fall of the bones good. Fried butterfly shrimp were good but I'd rather have scampi. Picky, I know. The supper club atmosphere was great. Service was wonderful and a great find! Worth the trip. Enjoy! read more

Silver Lake Country Inn - Bourbon Old Fashioned Press. And only $4! Tasty and worth every penny! - American Near Me - West Bend, Wisconsin

Returned for a third time on a Tuesday evening with six people. Nothing to complain about except the volume of sound in the small room. If you want to chat, pick a time when few people are there. Service, food, and price can't be beat. We had ribs, shrimp, soup, rolls, baked potatoes, and fries all for $16.95 each. And the Brandy Old Fashioned at $4 is a bonus. This is a kind of lost lagoon place known mostly to the locals. For those who know it, however, it's like a private hideaway. The ribs are wonderfully flavorful but made in the Wisconsin "fall-off-the-bone" tradition going back to the way grandma made them in the Nesco, often with kraut. Texas, Memphis or Kansas City ribs are meant to be nuzzled off the bone. Each State has its own tradition. read more

Broasted chicken and Peel and eat shrimp are delectable - Good cocktail sauce and nice cocktails at the well-stocked bar. Service is friendly and atmosphere is not too loud. Menu is adequate but somewhat limited. read more

Friday night fish fry is one the most anticipated events of any trip home to Wisconsin! Parents made a reservation at Silver Lake Country Inn, and we were not disappointed! Parking lot outside has plenty of spots, but this place was hopping!! We got lucky with another guest leaving when we were arriving! The space itself is tight, but didn't feel cramped. Interior is giving Wisconsin supper club vibes with cabiny accents. Our server was to the point, but generally friendly, she had a lot going on but stayed on top of our orders quite well! $4 Old Fashioneds really went down smoothly! We had the Alaskan Cod fish fry with potato pancakes and all the fixings! Loved every bite of this staple! Portion was appropriate for the price and left me very satisfied, but not bursting! Absolutely worth the trip and a great addition to our regular Friday night Fish Fry spots! read more

Food was delicious. Service was takeout and well packed and complete. Great menu options.

We stopped in for the first time and were not disappointed. Great service, food and atmosphere. The new owners are carrying on the long standing tradition of a welcoming neighborhood respite after a long day. We'll be back soon. read more

Silver Lake Country Inn - people sitting at tables in a restaurant - American Near Me - West Bend, Wisconsin

Lake Perch is one of my absolute favorite kinds of fish and when I found out that Silver Lake Inn has all you can eat Lake Perch on Wednesdays for $11.95, I immediately planned to go the next available Wednesday. With my Lake Perch I chose seasoned potato wedges and for the starter I went with cream of cauliflower soup. The cream of cauliflower soup could have used cheese and/or bacon...really anything to contrast the plain flavor of the cauliflower. I didn't want to bother my waitress for any of those items, so I added salt and pepper to just give it something. Along with the soup came a fantastically soft and warm dinner roll, which ended up being the highlight of my dinner. Unexpectedly, the seasoned potato wedges were huge and unfortunately that meant that most of each bite was plain potato that masked the flavor of the seasoned outside portion. I specifically chose the wedges because I didn't want massive amounts of boring potato like steak fries usually have and baked potato definitely has. Smaller wedges would have allowed the seasoning to be the main flavor and not boring potato. I've never had Lake Perch as flavorless as theirs. The breading lacked any semblance of seasoning or spice and I have no clue where they get their perch from, but it wouldn't shock me to learn that it's like the runt of the litter that no one else wants. I got one re-order because 1) I was hoping the first plate was an anomaly, 2) the principal of ordering all you can eat, and 3) the hassle I went through before I was seated. Sadly the re-order was just as flavorless as the first order. I don't eat tartar sauce or use lemon on my fish, so eating dinner was almost chore-like. COVID-19 is still a thing, but you couldn't tell stepping into Silver Lake Inn. There wasn't an open space available in the entire place. Literally the bar area was three people deep and at one point a lady asked if she could put her drink down on my table while I was eating (completely unheard-of at 99.9% of restaurants) because she didn't want to hold it and/or spill if she was bumped. The entrance way was no better as patrons had to turn sideways and suck in their guts just to squeeze through. Of course no one at all was wearing masks and the idea of them social distancing/limited capacity is laughable. I waited 30 minutes for a table and regret that I stayed at all after all was said and done. This will be my one and only visit to Silver Lake Inn. read more

I really like this restaurant. It is a family favorite. Is always busy and even with reservations you will wait. But it is so worth it. The food is good and very fair priced. Waitresses are always very friendly and cheerful. I highly recommend. read more

This restaurant is nothing like the Braising Pan - as we've always had great food at the Braising Pan! First, it smelled like garbage before we walked in. The french onion soup was puréed onions & gravy (greasy) rather than a nice clear tasty beef broth. I ordered scallops & they were gritty & not cooked properly. My husband ordered ribs & they were good but not worth going back again. The waitress was great & we appreciated her excellent service. read more

What a great find! Not even sure where to begin... Saturday night, friendly atmosphere, very small town rustic cozy place. Our party of 6 tried the gambit of various items, we tried the all you can eat barbecued and honey coated ribs, peel and eat shrimp, fried shrimp,, baked cod, stuff shrimp, scallops and fillet minion. All meals came with either salad or a bowl of French onion soup. The side salad that came with dinner was absolutely huge and filled with all kinds of vegetables. The French onion soup was not a cup but the full bowl, this was unexpected as you would normally get a tiny cup or a very small salad. Very nice. Of course rolls and crackers. Dinner was excellent all the way around, The honey and barbecued ribs were amazing and falling off the bone, shrimp was excellent, fresh and hot baked potato, fresh fish baked perfect and all other dishes were cooked perfectly. Drinks were also exceptional. For dessert we all shared 3 types of home cooked on site prepared cheesecake. Some of the best we've ever had. For 6 adults with full dinners and drinks was $165 before gratuity. The 5 star rating covers, atmosphere, service, excellent food and all in all a great value! read more

Great little place that is tucked in a small area on Silver lake. The all you can eat ribs were tender and tasty!

TRUISMS in Wisconsin. - A place like this will always do well; great food. - Wisconsinites love a deal; $18 for all the ribs & shrimp!!! - Wisconsinites ALL eat between 5:00 pm & 6:30 pm. Go later and be cosmopolitan! - Wisconsinites all go out on a Saturday night dinner or Friday Fish Fry; Go Thursday instead. - Wisconsinites don't mind a wait ... as long as Brandy Old Fashions are at the bar in plentiful supply! read more

Steak was incredible, Soup not so much. Broccoli and cheese had some very woody parts, waitress acknowledged they had complains about it. Acted like it was no big deal. Sad because the rest of it was very good. Drinks were good and salad was way above what you normally get with your dinner. Rolls were so so. BF had the all you can eat ribs and shrimp was very happy with it. Would go back. Better soup would have made this 5 stars. read more

Silver Lake Inn is a small hole in the wall joint located on a small dead end lake road (Peters Dr). They often bring quite a draw for the all you can eat specials for ribs, breaded shrimp and peel n' eat shrimp. I've always been a fan of the ribs which are fall off the bone meaty with great flavor. Offered in barbecue & a mustard flavor I always go with the barbecue. When choosing your soup go with the baked French onion and you won't go wrong. Melted and lightly browned cheese across the top of the crock. Incredibly reasonable prices. The downside is the building interior is small & dated. If your on the taller side be prepared to duck as you pass certain areas. It doesn't seem to hurt business but they are strictly a cash or personal check type place. In today's technology based society it's surprising whenever you find the rare holdout that doesn't take cards of any type. read more

We love the Inn. I can't think of a thing that's changed about this place in almost 20 years and that includes the quality of everything they do. From the soups, to Tempura Shrimp to a burger or the ribs- you can't go wrong and it's hard to pick a favorite. Pro-tip: when you order the ribs you don't need to pick between sauces as for a 1/2 and 1/2. You won't be sorry. read more

Excellent food and service. Get there early. Always busy but worth the wait. Remember cash only. read more

Great value and great food! They do not take credit cards, good way to keep their costs down for a family owned business in these cost rising times. read more

A hidden gem along the road, right across from Silver Lake. It was busy, because it was an All-You-Can-Eat Night featuring their famous ribs!!! There are four choices: Perch Fry, Ribs, Peel & Eat Shrimp, or Fantail Breaded Shrimp and you can get any combination of the two. The ribs are broke da mouth and you can get it in BBQ or Honey Dijon. The rib meat just falls off the bone!!! Yum yum!!! In addition I had an appetizer... The Wisconsin Cheese Curds... because Wisconsin is known for cheese and if you are a cheese lover...you'll love this!!! It is crispy and golden fried on the outside and gooey on the inside. Again.... Yum yum!!! Make sure you make a reservation because the line was out the door, but you might still have to wait...but the food was so good...it is worth it. Aloha... read more

Food is good, service is fair, but the new owners have no idea how to set reservations they have a bad habit of over booking. If you're a party of 2 or 4 with a reservation half hour or more after the time you asked for. Just not the same as it used to be read more

This little hidden gem has really good burgers and fish fries! The staff is always warm and friendly. The last time I went here, they only accepted cash, which was a little bit of a hassle because I don't usually carry a lot of cash on me. However, their homemade snickers cheesecake more than made up for it! I recommend their cheesecake 100%! read more

Loved our waitress Laura. She was excellent. It was all you could eat BBQ ribs and shrimp. You also got soup and a choice of potato. The food was excellent. Been there before and they never disappoint. Highly recommend them. read more

This tiny, cozy relic is fabulous! Personable employees, kind to all guests and the food is such a generous, inexpensive treat! The AYCE rib and fish specials are tasty enough and the place gets "packed" for a reason! Sandy makes the best OFs barside. Parking is tricky but half block down, there is a big lot - ask! Make reservations, you'll prob need them! * Only accept cash. PS per another review, I know some of you are still obsessed by Covid (I mean the media-gods) so please note that you can pick up your food and eat in the safety of your home. This place rocks it all! read more

Tiny place, supper club atmosphere. The food is always delicious and the service is excellent.

If you love ribs this is the best kept secret. There is no sign letting you know that there is a restaurant down on Peters Rd. off of Paradise. There ribs are fall off the bone delicious. You can have BBQ or Honey, I love the BBQ. Make sure you make reservations, one more thing, they don't take credit cards. Cash or a personal check. Enjoy Patty P read more

It's small but very supper clubbish. Not an extensive menu but what they serve is always fantastic! We usually get the ribs, honey mustard and barbecue. The honey mustard sounds wrong for ribs but they are soooooo good!! We did add the stuffed shrimp this time and they were excellent. They are short staffed like everyone else but it's such a quint little place by a very nice lake. The entrees are under 15 bucks unless you get the steak and that's 16 bucks:-). Very generous portions. I got the onion soup with my dinner. It was a crock of onion soup with delicious croutons and melted cheese on the top. They do not take credit cards, Cash or Check only!! Go try the honey mustard ribs! read more

Now THAT was an awesome dinner! All-you-care-to-eat lake perch and ribs combo for $11.95??? Are you for real? Back home in the Bay Area that meal would have cost $22.95! Perch fried to perfection and meat so tender, it's falling off the bone. But I can't say enough about the service. We had a reservation for 9 people. We were on time but our table wasn't ready. (lots of folks show up for all u can eat - go figure.) We hung out in the bar, ordered some drinks. None of us complained to the host or anything, even when 10 mins had gone by; the place is really small and we were all very understanding. All of a sudden, the host shows up in the bar with not one but TWO baskets of the most delicious onion rings I've ever had to apologize for the delay. That's how you get repeat customers, people! The waitress was always there with a drink and dinner order. She was engaging and complimentary and extremely charming. Oh, and the lake location is also stunning. I WILL BE BACK ON MY NEXT TRIP! read more
