About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem
- Wisconsin's Oldest Supper Club -

A lot’s happened since we opened our doors in 1848, and I guess you could say we’ve seen it all. From dirt road to plank road to railroad, Red Circle Inn has been serving up good food with good service for generations of people in Lake Country. Over the years, we’ve been a stomping ground for traders, trappers, settlers, working class, high class and everyone in between. There’s so much history in these walls, you can almost taste it.

It was former owner Captain Fred C. Pabst who gave Red Circle Inn its name and iconic red circle logo, a nod to his Pabst Brewing Company. He made the restaurant the place to see and be seen around the lakes, not just for a beer, but for high-quality food and warm hospitality.

Over 170 years later, the legacy lives on. As you enjoy your meal and the nostalgia of Red Circle Inn, you’ll learn why guests have been returning, generation after generation. Some might call Red Circle Inn a legend…that’s fine by us.

    We reserved a table for 6 during the Sunda Supper. Immediately upon opening the door, we were greeted with a warm welcome by the host. Our server was equally accommodating as well as the rest of the staff. The Sunday Supper is served family style (salad, two appetizers, mashed potatoes, green beaentries. Our choice of an individual entrée. Dessert was served family style as well. The entrée choice at our table were, Pasta Primavera, Herb Roasted Pork Loin, Maple Creek Baby Back Ribs , and Homemade Wagyu Meatloaf. Everything was cooked to perfection.

    We really enjoyed our prime rib and our steak. The historical pictures on the wall are so interesting as this is the oldest supper club in Wisconsin. We had a very early reservation so we could wander around and look at a lot of the photos before it became crowded. Do make reservations! Fills up FAST. We enjoyed the elevated supper club type dishes from the "relish tray" to the dessert. The dessert (Schaum Torte) was amazing and so fresh.

    Phillip was especially helpful in selecting our wine. For being the oldest Supper Club in Wisconsin, it is a lovely atmosphere! Food is very good.

    Our waitress was very nice but 1. Coffee cold, no whit sugar, 2. Apps took a very very long time 3. Sides were cold (mash potatoes and most likely the green beans ( the table next to us complained about the same thing. 4. Thank God meat was warm/hot, 5. Was served the wrong dessert did not complain b/c we wanted to get it over with and leave. Not sure if our food would’ve been different if we were down stairs in main dining which I reserved to begin with. We were upstairs and don’t recommend it.

    This is an incredible gem. Food is fantastic and the service is amazing. The only challenge is that the dining room acoustics need to be addressed. It was a busy Saturday night with every table filled. It was incredibly hard to hold a conversation with our friends without seriously raising our voices.
