Reviews
I really wanted to love the food. I went with the perch, but fries were the only side — no potato pancakes, which was disappointing. The fish was just okay, slightly overcooked. Fries tasted like they’d been sitting in old oil. Best part of the plate was the ranch and coleslaw. Overall, it felt a bit like a production line pushing tables through fast.
Top Tom Tip: If you go on a Friday during Lent, plan ahead — bar seats are your best shot at avoiding a long wait, and the atmosphere is better there anyway.
Grilled chicken breast, bacon, Swiss, mozzarella, and cheddar, on grilled Italian bread. I had the The Mainstreet Burger
On toasted marble rye, with melted cheddar and grilled onions, both came with fries.
We had enough leftover for dinner as well. AND of course we had to try the HOMEMADE ice cream, in 3 flavors almond/amaretto, pistachio, and vanilla/lavender, all were a small scoop with whipped cream, just enough for 2 to share!
The fish was lightly battered and not greasy. The coleslaw and crinkle cut fries were also very good.
Being a Thursday night we had some interesting options including the specials. We decided to try the Ribeye with veggies and a baked potato and it was delicious and a good size serving. We also ordered the full rack of Ribs and that was different. They were well cooked but the sauce was more tomato paste than BBQ sauce taste. While it wasn’t bad it was not as visually pleasing and did not taste as expected. This is a personal preference so if you like a hardy BBQ sauce please ask for a taste test before ordering to make sure it will meet your expectations. (The special Beef Ribs roasted had a different and non-BBQ sauce, so be sure to test that one also. It didn’t interest me so I avoided it.) The french fries served were all over the place in being cooked, but that’s because they were all different sizes from tiny and crispy to large and limp.
There is a large drink menu to choose from and the servings are nice. However, we were too full to have one of the tasty-looking desserts.
All in all our bill for two women was just over $103 before tips. Not bad for the amount of food served but each dish was a bit of a surprise. We will probably try again because the service was excellent and there are more items we would like to try. But it was not a night to remember, just one to eat out and take home leftovers.
The decor is typical supper club style but somehow the room is not too dark. And even tho they have just celebrated their 95th Anniversary, the atmosphere is not old, but more traditional. Lots of windows is nice.
One thing to know is that the staff has been here forever; our server for over 25 years, and a long-standing staff speaks well of the owners/management. Many generations have held this Club and you can tell they care.
Give it a try and judge for yourself. I think it is worth it.
