Dorf Haus Supper Club - SAUK CITY

Great suppper club, fish fry outstanding. You can't go wrong with anything.

The Sauerbraten is almost as good as what my MIL made in Germany. Great staff and service. Perfect dinner :

First time eating there and loved everything about the place. Will definitely go back when I'm in the area.

Food was great, people were nice, beer was ever flowing. This place is the cats meow. The ONLY draw back is the wait. This place is basically Ishnala on Fridays. We got to the restaurant promptly at 445pm but apparently that was too late as the wait was 2 hours long. We had a party of 6 originally, but due to the wait, 4 folks decided to go elsewhere. My partner and I stuck it out (which was still a 2 hour way) and boy was it worth it. During the wait we had 2 drinks served by excellent bartenders and played darts at the 'arcade ' area around the corner. Time went by fast and we were called to our table. We were sat in a wooden booth that has definitely been around for a while given it 's size and wear. The server came over promptly and we ordered the munster cheese curds, a friday fish fry, and the Rahmschnitzel. The curds were delivered shortly along with fresh popovers which were DIVINE. Could be because were so hungry, but honestly, I think they were just amazing. Piping hot, melty, and delicious. Our Entrees were equally good. I judge my fish fry on fish, coleslaw, and tartar sauce and each of these pieces were fantastic. Fish was not fishy, breading was crisp with moist fish on the inside. Coleslaw was creamy with a hint of vinegar/acid, and the tar tar sauce was classic. The Rahmschnitzel was also crispy, the spatzle was perfectly chewy, and overall just was a dang good meal. Once more, the only thing about this place that is a tough sell is the wait and the fact that they do NOT take reservations on Friday. Otherwise, the cute ambiance (very german), service, and food is definitely worth it. Happy Friday Fish Frys.

7 friends were going to have dinner and no one thought to make reservations but our server got us a table which was tight if we were gone by 7pm to honor someone who actually made reservations. The place is definitely small town Wi old school super club with a bar, pool room, various dining rooms and outdoor space. The place is woody with lots of charm from all the old antiques and trinkets. We ended up stopping by at 4:45 in hopes of a table for our group and in about 20 minutes the huge building and bar was completely full and why dinner took almost 2 hours from rolls to desserts. Our server was fine and no complaints because it was packed for Saturday prime rib night and I could see why because the prices were reasonable with 12oz $31 and 16oz $34 for soup or salad and one side. I ordered the 12oz rare with chicken dumpling soup and mashed potatoes. The chicken dumpling soup looked like a stew and homemade with shreds of dark meat with the cartilage left on and diced white meat also which was tasty but everyone who ordered it had the same complaint of little or no dumplings. The prime rib looked absolutely amazing with little fat compared to some places cooked perfect melt in your mouth seasoned nicely. My jaw hit the ground when I tasted the mashed potato because they were not real and tasted like boxed we all agreed. I'm floored as to why the soup and prime rib is cooked with love/homemade and the mashed potatoes were fake/watery/loose , at least top it with a rich gravy to mask it a little. One more fail was the table next to us had a potato option of potato pancakes which I love but I was not given that option as my potato and a person in my group was that I didn't hear. 3rd fail was the dessert offerings which all looked like store bought Sara Lee cheese cake to be sarcastic but a little better when homemade bread pudding was available that was not offered as an option until my buddy specifically about it . My final thought was how this place gets some things so right and some things so wrong like polar opposites on the food spectrum like someone is sleeping at the wheel. I'm not going to let it affect my star rating because 4 is the highest I hand out unless I'm completely blown away which is not given out lightly by me. I'm going to definitely go back now that I know the lay of the land and I know what order and what not to because the potato pancake looked home made topped with cheese and the bread pudding looked equally delicious
