This was a quaint little restaurant "off the beaten path," nestled in the trees, with the feel of the woods, but not far from the town. Elizabeth was the server, and she was phenomenal. The homemade maple balsamic dressing was delicious on my starter salad. I ordered the Wally Wellington, which was cooked to perfection, and absolutely delicious. The sauce was perfect, the filet mignon was tender and flavorful. The puff pastry was a little "underwhelming," but everything else made up for that. I was only passing through, but if I was ever in this area again, I would definitely come back to Wally's! read more

Cute place!!! The food was delicious supper club style. Service was awesome!! Ice cream drinks very disappointing. Might try it again if the area read more

We've been to Wally's twice now, and both experiences have been outstanding. The first visit was for the prime rib and this time we tried the ribeye and filet. Our meal has always been cooked perfectly and full of flavor. The prices are very reasonable for the quality of food you get, the service has been consistently great, and the bartender makes delicious drinks. We skipped dessert this time, but on a previous visit we had the nutter butter cheesecake, and it was life-changing. Wally's has officially become a place we'll keep coming back to. read more

This is the second time and the last time we will eat here. The 'wally wellington' was a bacon wrapped tenderloin with a sliver of pastry on top with glazed carrots and a few mushrooms. It was pretty good, but disappointed that it wasn't a true beef wellington. My fiance ordered the 'crab stuffed haddock'. It was fishy tasting and we believe it was tilapia since it was so thin and didn't taste like haddock at all. My fiance told the owner that his fish tasted fishy, he asked bluntly if he wanted anything else. No apology. My fiance then ordered the cornish hen. Our waitress brought back a half cooked cornish hen (no wild rice or vegies that was described on the menu) and kinda plopped it on the table. We felt they weren't happy that we didn't approve of their crappy fish. We didn't appreciate their attitude at all! The positive: their bartender was nice and made a good old fashioned. read more

We stopped here for dinner last week and had a great time. It's not a huge place, but it is clean and cozy. We had to wait a few minutes for a table so I had a beer, and my wife had an old fashioned that she really enjoyed. Once seated, my wife and I split the prime rib poutine, which was phenominal, and my son had the prime rib which he loved too. The staff are great. Very friendly. We will definitely be back the next time we are in the Northwoods. read more

This restaurant always has such friendly service, incredible food, and decent prices. The Wally Wellington is a deconstruction beef Wellington, that is so good and tender. For appetizers, I love their crabcakes, and bang Bank, shrimp. For dessert. They have the best bread pudding, I've ever had in my life! read more

Tried this supper club and it was GREAT, we had the fish fry Northwoods style. The breading on the walleye was old school shore lunch cracker/butter coating. OUTSTANDING service, food was way over expectations, out standing a must place to go if you're looking for a supper club. read more

Wasn't opened on a Sunday , notice on door only. No notice when I called (did not answer, no message) or checked website or Facebook. Reputation is for excellent food. read more

Food and service are exceptional! Highly recommend! One of the best in the Northwoods!

Best fish fry Ive ever had! We live in the midwest so we've had a lot of fish but this place does it right! Perfect cook for everyones meal (some had other entrees) but be prepared to wait forever! Very small space, very limited staff...bring games or some form of entertainment and get ready for a great meal read more

Food was great - fresh and hot. I had the crab stuffed halibut and my husband had the Wellington. We thought the prices were on point for such good food. We were not expecting such an older crowd but we did show up at 6 pm on a Thursday. Good vibe overall. read more

This was our first time here and we were very impressed with the food, service and price. I had the poor man's lobster and my fiancé had the perch. I enjoyed the quaint and cozy atmosphere as well. read more

Great food, highly recommend! Old fashioned was also good. I need more words on this but dont know what to say read more

Visited on Thursday and had the special which was a bacon wrapped chicken cordon bleu served with asparagus, choice potato and choice of super salad. The cordon Bleu was excellent and the asparagus and baked potato were better than average as well. Service was excellent. Atmosphere, a large U shape bar with dining room tables surrounding the perimeter, older wood interior but cleaning and cozy. read more

Very nice clean place with great service. Went here mid November so there was not wait. Since the food is really good, I can imagine it will fill up on the summer nights. Good size bar and you can eat at the bar. Inside has about a dozen 4 seat tables (maybe less). So you may have to wait to be seated but the good food is well worth it. I had a delicious half slab of ribs (lots of meat on those bones) and was stuffed! Since about 6 tables were occupied, the service was very quick. read more

All I can say is, wow! My wife and I were warmly greeted and seated immediately. Our waitress, Elizabeth, was kind and attentive, and the other staff were awesome as well. We had the cheese curd appetizer which was great, and for the entrees I ordered the New York Strip and my wife the Shepherd's Pie. My steak was perfect (medium rare) and super flavorful, and my wife also loved the Shepherd's Pie. Highly recommend, and will be coming back! read more

This is a fairly new place. It was Shady Sues a couple years ago. The new owner is a very nice guy. He's out meeting folks and helping clear tables. Not much has changed with the ambiance of the restaurant and that's ok with me. I loved it back then and I love it now. One thing different is the owner doesn't have the tv on. He plays good old fashioned dinner music...Pandora-Sinatra. Nicely done. Lexi was doing a great job behind the bar. She makes a delicious old fashioned. Elizabeth was our server and she was busy but on the ball. She's a hard worker and recommended mushrooms and onions on my steak...perfect. We skipped appetizers and headed straight for the steaks. Bacon wrapped fillet for the wife and a sirloin in a peppercorn cream sauce for me. Both were cooked perfectly as ordered and the cream sauce was really good. We had baked potatoes and salads. Go for the maple balsamic dressing. Made in house and I could drink it! We got the last made in house bread pudding for dessert. My wife loved it. She said it was great because it was plain bread pudding. (It had some nuts in it.) Not the kind they load up with extra stuff like chocolate chips. It was very good. Walt seems to be settling in to the area pretty well. I hope the customers keep coming in. We will certainly be back. (Lots more to try on the menu.) read more

This was our first visit. The bartender was friendly, drinks were good, waitress was awesome, and so was the food. Only 4 stars because the owner was less than friendly. We had just paid our bill and were finishing up our drinks while waiting for one of our party using the restroom when the owner came over and said "I hate to be rude, but we need this table". This came across as very rude and tainted our experience. He would have been much better off if he had something like, "Thanks so much for coming in tonight, and we hope you had a great meal. Feel free to stay for another drink at the bar. I hope you have a great night and hope to see you again soon". He could take pointers from his bartender and waitress. Friendly customer service is not that difficult and goes a long way!!! read more

NOT THE GREATEST BUSINESS PRACTICE Well, let's start at the beginning. My brother and I had a meal / dinner at Wally's South 17, Rhinelander, Wisconsin two weeks prior to tonight's get together with other family members. Today, we (all 4 of us) agreed to meet no later than 4:30pm at Wally's, because we heard they were usually busy, and to beat the line (lines at restaurant's are usually a good sign) my wife and I decided to be there upon opening. We arrived before opening, and decided to be the FIRST inline, and have a drink and wait a few minutes for our brother in-law and sister to arrive. Well, here is the BEST (NOT) restaurant business practice in place for this decade and maybe longer. Once the door opened with multiple guests waiting, my wife and I walked in and the waitress (not hostess) asked how many people for dinner tonight? My wife said (and I quote) "there are four of us, and the other two will be here shortly". The waitress said to us (and I quote) "we won't give you a table if you are waiting for other people, you need to sit at the bar !" But, the part that sent me into a higher frenzy was the bartender that SPOUTED OFF, the same garbage "YOU HAVE TO SIT AT THE BAR IF THE REST OF YOUR PARTY IS NOT HERE"............... BIZZARO to say the least, .........Can you imagine the tip the bartender got?.......Got, rhymes with NOT. Why would we NOT be seated, have a refreshment at our table, (still putting money in the owners pocket AND HAVE A GREAT GUEST EXPERIENCE?) and enjoy a beautiful fall evening at a new aspiring restaurant? Moving on....... Brother in-law and sister showed up ten minutes later and we did get a table. We jawed about moving on to another proven Friday Fish Fry at a location just a few miles down the road, but ultimately stayed because the waitress that waited on us was EXCELLENT...I believe her name was Kathy! However; poor initial guest service / poor restaurant policy and a lackluster meal equals a definite LOSS of our future patronage. Nice place / great location / Wish them the BEST !! read more

small dining room thus most will have to go to the bar for drinks which are expensive. food was very good but not cheap.

We stopped here a few weeks ago for the first time since it became Wally's and were very impressed. The menu is great, enjoyed the crab cakes appetizer, and Salmon for dinner. Both were prepared perfectly and were full of flavor. Service was friendly and attentive. So glad that the new owners kept a restaurant alive at this spot, it's a tough business right now, so if you're in the neighborhood and looking to eat, be sure to stop by and support this place. read more

Food and service were excellent. You wouldn't know it by driving by, but it's definitely a hidden gem!!

We had yellow fin tuna and crab stuffed haddock. Both were wonderful. Atmosphere friendly and some nice updates. New owner very personable. Impressive to see him setting an example for his staff with cleanliness, organization and interpersonal skills. We'll be back. read more

waited hour and half to be seated waitress completely ignored us after telling Us a half hour wait would not recommend
