The Wildcat's chef and staff keep us coming back weekly. The chef is very creative and offers tasty surprises with new dishes and their wonderful classics. They accommodate my dietary restrictions and never disappoint us. Worth the drive for all of you beyond Neillsville! We are lucky to have such a wonderful place to dine in our small town! read more

Made reservations in advance for our wedding anniversary. The place looks like a dump outside, but is decent once you get inside. It took a while to get to our table. Apps are all heavy/fried, so we skipped an app. I ordered a lemon drop martini; the waitress said she'd never taken an order for one before and had questions. I believed it when my lemon drop martini came out looking like water. Now, for a place that supposedly has 175+ bourbons, how was that not mentioned by the waitress or on a drink menu?? Soups for the night sounded gross, no one in our section ordered them. Dinner salads were okay, but sparse and the salad dressing came in gas station packets. For having a reservation, we just felt rushed, especially when the place was practically empty when we got there. Salads came out ASAP, and we weren't even done with them when the entrees came out. The Chrissie's Belle Scallop Pasta was just one-note; I was bored with it after two bites. My husband did like his deconstructed beef burria. We asked about dessert and found out there wasn't any, just ice cream. Definitely the most disappointing anniversary meal we've had in years. read more

This place is wonderful! A true chef inspired menu. The drinks were above expectations. The special on the night I was there was smoked prime rib. Excellent! I had the seafood chowder which was unique and delicious. This is an above average dining experience! The service was exceptional and the atmosphere is great. Set in the forest of central Wisconsin. read more

Great old Fashion's, great dinner, clean and all staff very friendly I had steak and it was cooked to perfection

The menu is interesting supper club with a twist food was decent but a few things really need to be changed: Paper napkins - If you're going to charge supper club prices provide cloth napkins. salad dressing - I have never been in a restaurant maybe fast food that handed me a packet of Marzetti's dressing that I had to rip open typically is homemade in other supper clubs. cocktail sauce - Again ordered shrimp given a small carton of cocktail sauce that I had to open don't think it was chilled. There is something definitely wrong with this picture. read more

This supper club experience in the middle of nowhere isn't as expected. It's better. The menu is so creative but still comforting. Lots of seafood but there are other options as well. Food is always great and service is always top notch. read more

Outstanding food and service. We dined on the deep fried cod, rib eye steak sandwich and Parmesan crusted pangasius. The sides were wonderful as well. Thank you for a great dining experience. read more

Stopped there 2 years ago with friends on UTV. Sign was out front with brushes to clean your clothes off so you didn't drag in mud, which we had no problem with. Recently I heard they reopened and now have a sign out front that they will no longer be serving ATV and UTV patrons. Such a shame as they advertise that they are right on the trails, but apparently don't want our business. $125 for 3 meals is a little ridiculous. They just opened again and will lose business because they discriminate who can go there. read more

A family tradition during hunting season was for us to visit the Wild Cat Supper Club in Neilsville Wi. And while it's been years, we were pleasantly surprised by the updates and renovations of the interior decor. While the bathrooms were pretty, we were not so pleasantly surprised when we noticed that they swapped out the aesthetics for their once renowned home cooked and fresh food. We were served warmed up frozen food with bagged lettuce for salads and prepackaged dressings, sour cream and shrimp sauce. They charged us premium prices for food we could get in the freezer section at Costco. The saddest part about it was when we tried to give them some gentle feedback about our experience they told us to "get out " and to "never come back ". When did it change that the customers experience mattered and that restaurant owners cared about their product? Well, to their own words of proclamation. we will never be back . read more

Even yelp recommended I start this review with it doesn't look like much from the outside. Funny. True. My family argued whether this typical-looking, boxy supper club with a pond (pretty windows and view, btw) was in the middle of nowhere or on the edge of nowhere. When we walked in and everyone was at the bar while the dining area was empty, I was certain I was going to have a typical, mediocre supper club meal. Surprise! This was good! The rib eye steaks were tasty and very tender. The smoked Gouda mashed potatoes were perfectly creamy, cheesy, and mildly smoky. The southwestern chicken bites were a hit. My gnocchi dish was delicious and plentiful. The leftovers were delicious, too. The menu is long and varied with deep fried appetizers, steaks, chicken, sandwiches, seafood (mussels were a surprise), pasta, and more. The misses are the cheese curds (meh) and salad with a marzetti dressing packet to open. Given how easy it is to make salad dressing, I just didn't understand. The ambiance is a little odd. Tablecloths and a stone fireplace contrast with the stackable cafeteria chairs and the very casually dressed staff. The packer jersey just didn't fit in. It seemed the customers were much better dressed than the staff read more

The Wildcat keeps the best supper club tradition and standards. Thanks for providing a menu that's as interesting as it is delicious, attentive service, and an elegant ambiance. Rough & tumble sports bars are a dime a dozen, so if you're looking for something a bit more sophisticated, stop in and enjoy refined dining. read more

We stopped for a drink and a potty break from UTVing. The place is really nice. The staff were really friendly. So we decide to go back that evening. And it was so worth it. The food and we're amazing. We will for sure be returning here again. read more

Somewhere along the line, I heard good things about The Wildcat Inn. I thought it might have been a television show or tourism promo but it turns out, The Wildcat Inn hasn't been a part of any of those, at least, that my server could remember. No matter. I found it without much effort. It's right on the northwest corner of Cty B and US 10, west of Neillsville. (Is Cty B old US 10? It certainly seems like it.) The parking lot was full of pickup trucks, sedans and some ATVs promising an eclectic, and hungry, clientele. A sign on the door indicates that muddy ATVs are not welcome and should clean up before entering. The decor is pure Wisconsin Supper Club, so is the ambiance. You'll find the namesake stuffed and mounted on a canoe above the bar. Two mounted bear are wrestling behind glass, you'll see deer heads, a turkey, an old Johnson Sea Horse, several snow shoes and a myriad of advertising signs, both antique and modern, adorning the walls. The tables are slabs cut from tree trunks and a large fireplace breaks the huge space into a large dining room and a smaller, more intimate area where several couples were seated, including us. In fact, along that wall, there are picture windows overlooking a collection of farm memorabilia and a smiling piglet. Rock a bye baby, don't you cry, you'll be a sausage by and by. I ordered a bourbon Old Fashioned and my server insisted that I choose a brand ("We have a wide selection of bourbons") so I opted for my old friend, Jim Beam. It was made with a more than ample pour of bourbon, too. My dinner date ordered a cranberry wine, which she reported was mildly sweet and very good. We both ordered the Friday Fish Fry and while we waited, I went out back and snapped some pictures of the farm displays. Dinner came out of the kitchen about the same time I returned, much faster than I anticipated. Two pieces of cod were well breaded making a tasty, crispy shell. No potato pancakes here, so we opted for baked potatoes. The potatoes came with a huge slab of butter that would make my cardiologist cry. They use pre-packaged sour cream but if you ask for more, they gladly provide it. Cole slaw was more like a salad with large chunks of ingredients that I actually had trouble chewing. (My issue, not their's.) Our plates had a garnish of delicious sweet pickles that tasted home made. Later guests received a wedge of watermelon, apparently they went through their allotment of home made pickles for the night. The Wildcat Inn is a delightful holdover from the days when supper clubs were more common in Wisconsin than McDonalds. That's no longer true and in most surviving supper clubs, the traditional relish tray and bread basket is no longer a part of the meal and I miss the sweet peppers. The Old Fashioned is still the predominant cocktail and most places still muddle it the old way, as it should be. The rest of the crowd finds a wide selection of beers. Drink hearty! Overall, this was a great experience and I would return often if it weren't so darned far away from both home and cottage. It was convenient for me, right on the way back to the cottage from a day trip. It's just a couple of miles west of The Highground, so I was able to stop there and pay my respects. If you find yourself in the Neillsville area, keep The Wildcat Inn in mind. read more

My wife and I went to Wildcat last 2 Friday nights and food was amazing! Bartender was very helpful, chipper and made good drinks. Had the same waiter both times and also very upbeat and remembered us from the prior week. I hadn't been in the place for like 20 years and it felt like home. Great atmosphere, steaks and fish fry was superb. Going to be spending more time in this area from here on so I am happy that I have a place to go to get good drinks, food and excellent service! read more

I wish I had taken pictures of the back yard .... Adorbs! So flipping cute. But it's more than that - it has a menu that makes it a true Supper Club. Tonight's special included chartruie platter, shrimp on grits, so many more things that are just not ordinary bar food. God! Get the Slow Roast 'which! No regrets. Inside - also enjoy their Bourban Bar - protected by their own wildcat. Ps. Look around the corner for the bear display. I am coming back...I want this food again. Thank you for a great food and personal experience. read more

The fish is always phenomenal!!! Customer service is second to none and Staff is awesome. A great place to have family and friends for dinner!!! read more

Very friendly bartender, when he had the time to talk, knew how to make an old fashioned. Bar has a great bourbon and rye selection, priced pretty reasonably. My wife had snapper, a very large portion, with the Gouda mashed potatoes, and she raved about it. I had the cold smoked prime rib, which was lightly smoked and very tender. Really excellent. Other menu choices, the poutine and the ribs in particular, had us planning our next visit before we got home. The French fries, for me, might be worth the trip alone. The prices were about par for a supper club these days. Good value, insofar as we each got two meals worth of food. We will be back soon, small independently operated places like this are disappearing fast, and we loved it. read more

We hit the jackpot of great food here! We were on the ATV trails and aimed our machines to the the symbol on the map(fork & spoon). We stopped in for a late lunch. This is a great Wisconsin supper club with more than typical supper club fare. Some of the items our group of 10 tried are; Loaded Baked Potato: all the fixings + pulled pork and an extra large baked potato, The Ribinator and the Chubby Cheese and Brisket are oooo so good too! So much more to sample here. read more

We'r spoiled, the wildcat is just a few miles from our home, but that not why we frequent the supper club. You'd be hard pressed to find any better menu for a rural-out-in the-boonies restaurant. Sure, the offer am awesome Friday fishery, but we love going there to see the specials, and there are always several, no matter what day of he week you visit. The Wildcats strongest asset is offering visitors a few off the beaten path menu items. Those are almost always the best and worthy of a try. Second to the food, is the selection of beer. I'm a home brewer and semi craft brew snob, and I can just highly recommend Justin s taste in an eclectic beer selection. I know of no other place in west central wi that does as well. Although not a whiskey drinker, I think the dark spirits advocate would be surprisingly happy with the selection here as well, proudly displayed above the bar. My highest praise is you get more than you pay for,the wait staffing bar keep are superb and the food second to none. read more

The service was not the greatest. Hostess/waitress sat us. It wasn't until 5 mins later another staff member offered us drinks and a kids menu, never did get my husbands drink order. Prices were a little high for the quality of food. Our cheese curds were luke warm. In a state known for its cheese they should have it down to a science on how to make cheese curds. We would not visit this establishment again. read more

This is a great place. My daughter and I were hunting in the area and figured we would stop in and have a beer and maybe a burger. From the outside it looks just like any other beer joint but, on the inside, it is an up north supper club. Great choices of beer. One of the best Old Fashions I have ever had. We ended up staying longer than we had planned and had a full sit down meal. it was delicious. Fresh vegetables and awesome steaks. it really is worth a stop and I will be back soon. read more
