Restaurantes cerca de Northern Wisconsin State Fairgrounds

On our way to our summer home near Spooner. Rachel was a gem. Old Fashioneds were great. Salad bar was fresh, stocked & great variety. We both had walleye…. Mine almond crusted, his beer battered. Both very good. We will be back.

One of the best 8 oz filet mignon I had on our SD/MN/WI vacation. Cooked medium to perfection. Caesar salad was large w/ crisp romaine lettuce, and Caesar dressing to my liking. Not too heavy on the anchovy taste. I picked the two whole anchovies out of the salad and hung them over the side of the bowl. The anchovy flavor was there but very mild. The side of asparagus for two served the four of us with some left over. My brother and sister-in-law who we treated to dinner had a bit of sticker shock at the prices. Items are ala carte. I surmised they were used to a traditional WI supper club which you could order an entree w/ or w/o salad bar. Or make your dinner all you can eat salad bar. Yes a better value in terms of price but The Chop House served a superior filet mignon. So tender. YUM,YUM. I was a bit surprised how prices in Chippewa Falls have caught up to the prices for dining at a nice restaurant in San Francisco. They have at The Chophouse. A value play the Chophouse is not. Go to the Wissota High Shores Supper Club instead if you want value for your dining dollar in Chippewa Falls WI. Nearby parking is free and plentiful. But I wasn’t looking for value. I don’t see my brother and sister-in-law that often so for me this was a special occasion. This time of year in WI is road construction season on highway 53. If you are not familiar with the region don’t overdo it on the drinks.

Our waitress was very nice and friendly. Boston cranberry tea and coffee excellent. The coconut shrimp and shrimp scampi were good. Some items were not as good; the mashed potato side was bland and could have included a pat of butter or something to add flavor.
