We went on a Sunday evening and were able to sit down right way. The waitress was very attentive and was always hustling since she was the only one for the whole dining room. The soup was homemade and delicious. The salad bar was not huge but it had great ingredients on it and the blue cheese dressing was fantastic. We both had the baked haddock, which was perfectly cooked. It could have had more seasoning on it, but there was salt and pepper at the tables. Cloth table covering adds a nice Supper Club touch. We highly recommend this place read more

See all

Chicken was over cooked. The chicken cordon blue was tasteless and very little ham or cheese. They ran out of rice. I ordered wine that I never got. The biggest problem was that we were with a group that wanted separate checks (3), and they refused to do it. We were unprepared to pay cash. We finally got them to let us pay on 3 different cards. They also charged us to use credit cards. I am sad because this used to be a great place. read more

We had a great evening celebrating a 90th birthday. Service was very attentive to our large group. Salad bar is always a hit.

We had a reservation on New Years Eve and waited over an hour and a half past our scheduled time before we walked out. We were told three times that it would be another 20 minutes. We ended up going somewhere else. People without reservations were seated first. read more

Sunday Chicken was great! Service good! The restaurant could use some updates but is a typical Wisconsin Super Club. Cloth Table Cloths and Napkins and all! I due miss the salad bar they used to have! read more

Just expensive not very good young cook never cooked an egg but family and I'm sure he's paid for doing little

Good Fish Fry, Prime Rib was very average, Good Drinks , Nice place with average service read more

Great, classic supper club. The salad bar was fresh and well stocked. The menu was traditional but cooked to perfection.

Great atmosphere, tastefully decorated for the season. Service was spot-on from the bar service to the wait staff. Everyone is witnessed dining was cared for kindly and efficiently. Food was spectacular. I was checked on more than once but not too much. I was especially impressed by the cleanliness of the wait staff, bussers and bartenders as they went about their duties. Hands down a wonderful place! read more

Came here on the recommendation of being a good fish fry and I would have to concur, it was tasty deep fried cod. This is a minimum expectation for a Wisconsin supper club. I don't think there was much allure to bring me back. Friday night at 6pm was busy but no wait. Waitstaff was stretched thin and things moved extraordinarily slow, even for a supper club. People said the salad bar was amazing...not so much, pretty standard, nothing to rave about. Drinks were okay once they arrived but hard to be happy with a 20 minute wait on a drink delivery. This place is middle of the road ok. read more

My first time eating here. We brought friends that also never eaten here. We all loved the food. I had the fettuccine Alfredo and it was delicious. My husband had the Chicken cordon blue and said it was very good. The only problem was it was a very small piece of chicken. Otherwise we enjoyed our meal and so did our friends. We would definitely return. read more

Arrived a little after 8:00 and the rush was over. We had our pick of great tables. Everything was great. Shrimp, ribeye, twice baked potatoes and the salad bar. Next time I'm in the area, I will be back. read more

My brother was in town from Louisiana and went here for something local vice the Dixie or El Tequilla. We both ordered the Rib Eye steak and not impressed at all! He ordered his steak medium & I ordered mine medium well. His showed up medium and mine showed up medium rare, still bleeding from the butcher! WORST STEAK I EVER HAD! HAD NO FLAVOR WHATSOEVER! I can and have done a better job on the grill at home! I paid $30 for the WORST STEAK I EVER ATE IN MY LIFE! I WILL NEVER GO BACK! read more

Went here again 6-8-2014 with the same friends as last time I had the fryed Chicken Dinner with Potato, Dressing, & Corn. All was Good. Friends both had the Prime Rib it was as big as there plate and both said it was very Good. Will I go there again Yes I will. Keep up the Good Work Guy's. read more

Swartzendruber's Supper Club - a chocolate cake - Diners Near Me - Antigo, Wisconsin

Amazing steaks and ribs at this restaurant. I highly recommend visiting for dinner. Friendly service, good cocktails and a stocked salad bar. read more

I was anticipating this meal for months. Our first dinner of the year at one of our favorite Supper Clubs. I was so disappointed! The best thing was the salad bar, which never disappoints! Thursday night is German night. My husband and I decided to have the rouladen. My husband ordered the beef. I ordered the chicken. The beef was tasty. The chicken....not so much. It came rolled with broccoli and covered with cheese. This was served over fettuccine. It was a mess. The cheese sauce resembled something I used to make in 7th grade to put on nachos. It smothered the chicken. The chicken was very salty, The broccoli was undercooked. I'm so disappointed. I don't think we've ever had a bad meal here. Definitely not worth the $16 price tag. read more

Very typical Wisconsin supper club atmosphere and menu. We dined on a Wed evening. No salad bar. We started with drinks- one mixed and one wine which were very good. There was one waitress for the entire dining room- she was efficient but dressed in grubby tshirt and jeans more suited to a dishwasher. I get that this is WI northwoods, but still.. We were offered soup or salad with our meals. We both chose salads which were fresh and good. No bread or crackers. We ordered a steak and walleye dinner. Neither came with a vegetable of any sort- only a potato side. Baked potato was moldy tasting, fries were good. Mains were good also. The very busy waitress finally took our plates and gave us the check. No mention of desert , coffee or after dinner drinks. Had been hoping for an ice cream drink, So not a bad meal or experience, but service was just minimal and nothing exceptional or even that good to make us return, read more

Thanks Swartzendruber's for making special accommodations for our Zdrazil family reunion. Great food, great drinks and excellent service!

A group of 6 of us went to this supper club tonight and loved it!! It had a cute little outside area and a great bar. The inside was paneled and it had linen tablecloths. It was the perfect rustic supper club. 3 of us had three different pastas and each tried the others and each one was great. No salad bar but we got a dinner salad that was perfect!! My husband had the tenderloin and he said it was great. We had grasshoppers for dessert and they were fabulous, but needed whipped cream!! We will definitely be back. Someone else mentioned this was on par with a VFW-not true! I travel all over the country and am pretty picky about restaurants. We thought it was a nice place with great food! read more

Ty for accommodating our large group for a family anniversary. Daily specials, attentive service, and a well executed menu set this restaurant apart from the competition. We've been here as a family and will continue to do so, whenever a special occasion arises. read more

Place is now called "Swartzendruber's". Dining here was somewhat surreal, as there where only 2 couples in the dining room when I arrived. Shortly thereafter, I was left alone in the dining room for the rest of the evening. All meals come with the salad bar (minuscule) and soup bar (three crocks on a table). I had the potato soup which was pretty good. I expected to order some good German food, well at least a weiner schnitzel. To my surprise this "German" supper club only serves a limited German menu on Thursday nights. The rest of the menu looked good, but given the EMPTY place, I was skeptical on the freshness and overall quality of the food. Maybe watching too many "Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares" have scared me for life. I had the full slab of ribs, which actually arrived on my plate as three 3-4 rib "slabs". Not sure how that adds up for a full slab, but the overly rich sauce and meaty ribs got me full real quick; I ended up not finishing the portion. For a side, I had the twice backed, which when served on a plate looked like a joke, Basically two perfectly round scoops of potato on a rock hard half shell potato skin. I imagine they make these sometime early in the week and nuke em throughout the week. I had a few bites and quickly stopped. Unfortunately not too many dining options in town and maybe their menu has good food, but the place was empty while the mediocre Refuge had quite a few cars in the lot. The Mexican joint in town also had a few cars in the lot. read more

Went tonight with family. Seven of us. We ate our salad and then waited. A gentleman at another table left, busboy set table and a couple was seated. I checked the time after salad 6:00. At 6:37 the couple got their food BEFORE us. Waitress said it was because it was easier to do two and that our food was coming. Mom got hers. We checked the time. Then I got mine. Then my sister. Then my niece and nephew. Then my other sister and her husband. It took 12 minutes from start to finish. The other couple was done eating had their bill and got there to go containers. If you have LOTS of time go eat here. Oh they did comp ONE drink read more

Horrible! Mother's Day brunch started at 10 am. We had 10:30 reservations. Foolishly, I thought if a place said they had brunch, there might be some sort of breakfast food. No! The salad bar was the best part and it contained ice berg lettuce, red onion, dried whitish carrots, cucumbers, peas, Bacos sunflower seeds. It did have fancy crouton bread. The buffet was vegetables cooked in a white sauce (I couldn't identify the type of veg as it was super creamed), mashed potatoes, fried chicken, amazing salty stuffing, and ham that was floating in water!!! What is this madness. Then , the 'carving station': the gentleman carving what I thought was a ham (shaped like a ham and under the dark red heat lamps, colored like a ham) turned out it was pressed turkey meat product. Not a breast, pressed dark and light meat. The other meat was rare roast beef. There were also shrimp at the end, the kind you peel yourself. The desserts were on a separate table, plated on styrofoam. There was a runny brown thing that may have been cobbler with now bottom, pound cake with add your own strawberries and non-dairy whipped topping, and pumpkin pie. The most interesting thing was this bright white squishy bar with blueberry swirl on tip and graham cracker bottom. I couldn't tell if the white part was supposed to be cheesecake or meringue or what. The crust was good. So $15 for a crust and an iceberg salad. In summary, Brunch is a combo of Breakfast and Lunch to most people, but not here! read more

We went to Swartzendruber's for Mother's Day Brunch. To me the word "brunch" implies the availability of some typical breakfast foods with the addition of some non-typical breakfast foods. (Perhaps pancakes and eggs and bacon but also ham or chicken - you get the drift.) We had reservations for 10:30 am. The Brunch Buffet consisted of their normal salad bar - they have wonderful blue cheese dressing, but nothing low-cal, not even cruets of oil and vinegar visible. They used to have homemade liver pate on the salad bar, but this time it was just braunschweiger spread - like the pink stuff you get in a tube from the grocery store lunch meat shelf. Main course was: fried chicken, hunks of ham floating in some liquid, mashed potatoes, gravy, a vegetable combo of broccoli, cauliflower and carrots in a thick cream sauce - it was very "gloppy", stuffing, cranberry sauce, turkey that was the pressed kind so each slice had some light and some dark - it was very salty, peel and eat shrimp, prime rib type beef slices that were the color of the ham. I was disappointed on so many levels. Most of the food seems to be pre-prepared and warmed up. There was nothing that you could choose that was a little on the low-cal side unless you had a lettuce salad with no dressing. Oh and about half the bin of the carrots on the salad bar were dried out - had a little white showing. Better to have the carrots floating in water and let the ham be on a platter. There was a dessert table with an assortment of pies and something that may have been apple crisp plopped on a plate. There was a big container of cool whip or some type of pretend whipped cream and a big bowl of thawed or canned strawberries in sauce to use on slices of pound cake. We were there with my daughter and granddaughter and our husbands. So 4 adults, one child. Thankfully they did not charge the 4 year old. The moms got a carnation - lovely gesture although my daughter's was starting to wither and mold. I have eaten here numerous times partly because it's one of two "nice" places to eat in Antigo. The food has ranged from wonderful to not so good. There have been a bunch of owners in the last 20 years but it has always had a similar menu. The people who work here are super friendly and nice. But this brunch fiasco was the last straw for me. (None the less, I overheard at least two people in the restaurant who were raving about the wonderful food. IT WASN'T BRUNCH!!) I'll go to Country Kitchen's brunch or Great Dane in Wausau next Mother's Day! read more

Awesome broasted chicken. Love the Buffett as well. Good pricing for the amount and quality of food. They also make delicious warm winter drinks with the perfect amount of alcohol. My whole family loves the great menu variety. They have enough selections to please my unique critics. The restaurant has an old county charm which makes me feel like I'm back home. (In the south) they have a great amount of space with no crowding issues. There is even areas for large party's if one chooses. This is one of my family's local favorite sit down dinning establishments. read more

Great meal and very nice supper club. Can't wait to return. Salad bar, soup and main course were all terrific. Service was complete and professional . Great place to stop when heading home from up north. Don't listen to other locals this place is great! read more

Definitely not a beautiful atmosphere very VFW with linen table clothes with candle on the table that was never lit. The food was good but too many little things just seemed off. Obviously with Covid no salad bar so we had plated salad (it was ok) but then no bread at all and no relish tray. The dinners don't come with any veggie either...and we waited forever for our food and drinks weren't replenished very often. I will def try a different place if ever in Antigo. read more

Have been here for dinner 3 times since January 2017. I don't know why this is happening, but our food and service has been the worst it's ever been in 35 years! Our prime rib was over cooked 2 of the 3 times. The salad bar ran low on almost everything and no more chopped eggs. We had one good/friendly waitress in those 3 visits as well. Our last visit, Sunday 5/28/17, may have been our last. Our waiter was horrendous. Never asked how our food was, and literally became unavailable for 15 min. We waited another 15 min for our check to arrive. It makes me very sad. We have had so many wonderful times and meals here throughout the years. I never thought I'd be changing my 5 star rating to a 2 star rating. read more

I came to this restaurant at about 5:30 tonight. For dinner. There is one other diner (literally one person not one party) and we're seated at the table next to his. And also next to a window. Which wouldn't be a big deal if it were more than fifteen degrees out tonight Our waitress asks if we'd like something to drink. There is no drink menu listed on the main menu and I'm not even sure if there is a drink menu in existence because it wasn't offered to us. She told us all available beers could be seen along the back wall which was about thirty feet from us and behind the salad bar. So that information was also useless. We ordered the bruschetta as an appetizer. The menu said it came with five pieces and we received three very bland pieces that I'm pretty sure we're constructed on not a toasted piece of baguette but rather a piece of Texas toast. You know like you get in the freezer department. Our main course was fine. I got the pesto chicken roll on the wild rice which tasted a lot like rice a roni though my dining partner said it tasted like stove top stuffing. Either way not remarkable. I don't think I'll revisit this place even if it's the only one left open in all of antigo. read more

This was our first visit and as we walked up the stairs, we were immediately greeted by the bartender. Our waitress was friendly and attentive, and the chef/owner was very personable as well, even though we were first-timers to the supper club and not from the area. Traditional Wisconsin Supper Club from the drinks and salad bar to include crackers/cheese. We dined towards the end of the buffet time for Mother's Day so it wasn't busy at all, but the buffet still had plenty to offer. Desserts were small portions so that you could choose more than one :D We felt the price was reasonable for the buffet. We look forward coming back to dine off the regular menu! Thank you! read more

I was home (Antigo, wi) for an extended visit this week and wanted to go to a classic supper club that had a salad bar. It was pure nostalgia for me to come to the old Leffels, now Swartzendrubers. I have been in the food industry for 12 years and currently have my own customers.... So, with all of that being said, let's get to the service and the food at Swartzendrubers! Service: 1) upon arriving at the hostess stand my parents and I were not only NOT greeted with a smile or a welcome to the restaurant, the attitude off the lady was one that said, we really don't want you here. To follow that up, she proceeded to tell us that the kitchen just took a 35 person order and was slammed and that we needed to have patience with how long it may take to get our food. None of this was said nicely or graciously. I guess what she really meant was, please leave so our kitchen load can be lighter. I have worked back of the house in many restaurants, this is not how the front of the house service should ever be!!! Ever. This is where this restaurant lost 1 star. 2) They lost .5 stars when we paid and the man who took our money never said thank you, asked us how our meal was or gave any sign of gratitude for our patronage. That is all good, as I know I will never eat there again. 3) our server was sweet and did the best she could. She was busy, so I don't fault her for any slow service. Food: 1) overall, the food was good. The only miss was on the salad bar. I took the other .5 stars away because the salad bar didn't have liver spread or pickled herring. I thought these were classic items on a super club salad bar....maybe I am just really old school. 2) the big plus was on the cocktail... Brandy old fashioned, sweet. Well done mr. Bar tender! So, overall, if you don't mind a horrible welcome and end to your meal, by all means come here! The food was good and the cocktail was fabulous!! read more

My wife and we're visited Antigo to revisit areas we frequented in the past and to celebrate our anniversary. I looked for a supper club at which to celebrate our anniversary and came across Swartzendrubers. We were really looking forward to going there for dinner but in the end was somewhat disappointed. We went on a Wednesday evening and found the place with only a few customers at the bar. The place looked nice inside and out but there was only one other couple in the dining room. When we first arrived we were greeted by a friendly bartender. Once we were served it seemed like she was not interested in us. Unless we pursued her in conversation there wasn't any. The waitress and food were good, but sitting in an empty dining room was boring. Rather than a supper club it seemed my like a neighborhood bar w food. BTW as we drove away we noticed a place called Heartbreakers, a bar and grill, they were packed. Not sure if we'd go back if in the area again. read more

Swarzendruber's. Interesting name eh? My wife and I were traveling here with my mother and sister for my mom's family reunion. She was born here in Antigo some 85 years ago. So we spent the past several days "seeing the sights". Today we attended the family reunion at the Neva Town Hall. I have to say, the food was plentyfull and home made. Good 'ol comfort food. Spectacular actually, and we had a great time. So, please keep that in mind while readng my review of Swartzendruber's Supper Club. We arrived at perhaps 6pm on a Saturday night. The place was busy but not full. (how-ever several more families came in) We were immedtately greeted by the gentleman behind the bar and promptly seated and a nice table. I stolled over to the "beer wall" to select of couple bottles for my wife and I. The selection is large, one of the best I've seen here in Wisconsin. Sis had a Bloody Mary, it was huge and she enjoyed it. Mom and I ordered up the Prime Rib, her's being the 12 oz. and mine the "medium" 16 oz. (medium size appears to mean HUGE) Sis had the Porterhouse steak and my wife ordered up the broiled walleye. Food came in good time and was prepared perfectly as ordered. And it was all very tasty. Our waitress was great. Cute local girl that gave us flawless/transparent service. Very pleased. So again, reflecting off the food and atmosphere at the family reunion, I can only give this place a "Yay! I'm a fan" otherwise it may have been "Woohoo! As good as it gets". Hope you enjoy as well..... read more

Just left dinner at this restaurant, expecting a decent supper club experience, but the quality of the food and service were more on par with a truck stop. Brown lettuce greeted us at the salad bar, along with stale croutons, slimy cucumbers and soup straight out of a frozen food service bag. The complimentary bread brought to our table consisted of 3 heels from loaves of what I imagine must have been stale bread or were cut and left sitting out and became very dried. My scallops were very overcooked and rubbery without flavor while my baked potato was undercooked and largely inedible. My partner's chicken parmesan was so heavily sauced that the chicken was limp and the pasta overcooked to the point it was nearly mush. Our waitress was nice, but very loud and lacked the manners to wait tables, reaching across people, moving our glasses by grabbing them at the rim, never using a tray, not removing used dishes, and failing to check in with us after serving entrees. While the website touts a fine dinning (sic) experience, Swartzendruber's is more like a greasy spoon playing dress up in some kind of 1980's northwoods meets old west style. I don't recommend dining here, and would have left without eating had it not been my father in law's choice for a family meal. read more

The bartender was fantastic, made great drinks and was super personable. The rest of the experience was average. Salad bar had typical options, but nothing that really "wow'd" us. Looonnnnggg wait for the food, even though we were the 2nd party to arrive once the place opened (only 3 of us in our party). One of us ordered steak mid-rare and it came out almost well done. They offered to cook another, but with how long it took our food to come out, he said no. The bill was also confusing, and took us about 10 minutes to figure out how the waitress transferred the drinks (from the bar) to our bill. She couldn't even explain it to us herself. Not a go-to joint in Antigo, but it's an alright supper club. read more

I've only eaten here once. The food was very good, just can't justify $70 for two people

This place is nice. A real supper club atmosphere. The owner makes sure we are noticed when we first walk in, at the bar, and when our drinks were empty, they are majically refilled. :) He notices people and remembers them. He remembers my mother coming in there with us like a year and a half ago, and she's even from a different town. The food is really good 80% of the time, and the prices are decent as well. The customer service is exceptional! Go Leffel's!! read more

Very good, party of four adults on a thursday. Weiner Schnitzel, Cod were good. I had a red chili creme pasta w shrimp. Quite supper club with fair prices. read more

Great prime rib dinner! Plenty to eat (way too much in fact). Service was prompt and friendly. Great supper club atmosphere

Beautiful place! Should be the best dining experience in town. Unfortunately, the staff runs around in a disordered fashion, the salad bar is a disappoint (please ownership if you are reading this, get a nice quality green mix salad, vs. the cheap iceberg). Sometimes the soups are great...other times they are terrible...it would be nice to have consistency. We ordered dessert the other night it is was hands down the absolute worst cheesecake imaginable. If they would put more quality into the salad bar and quality into the ingredients, and care into the preparation, this place would be excellent. But it is not. read more
