We had our wedding at Indian Crossing Casino in Waupaca, and they were phenomenal from start to finish. Everything went so smoothly, the food was incredible, the atmosphere was perfect, and the entire day flowed without a hitch (or at least none that we saw!).
The Indian Crossing staff were amazing throughout the planning process and the entire day of the wedding. The kitchen staff went above and beyond to accommodate all of our needs, and the food came out hot, fresh, and absolutely delicious. The bar staff kept our guests happy and the drinks flowing all night long!
We especially want to give a huge shoutout to our event host, Breanna. She was so much more than just a venue coordinator; she made planning feel completely seamless. Breanna anticipated everything we needed, handled every detail with care, and was always just around the corner if we needed her. We truly could not have done it without her. She was incredible.
We even went back the morning after our wedding to enjoy breakfast and their Monster Bloody, and both were absolutely fantastic!
We highly recommend Indian Crossing Casino to anyone seeking a wedding venue or a place to host an event. They made our day unforgettable, and we’re so grateful for the experience!

We absolutely love this place. In the summer you can dock your boat conveniently and either eat in your boat, or you can hang out or eat and drink on their outdoor green and bar or inside. We also love when we don’t have our boat and just drive over to go inside and eat. Best part is that the menu changes seasonally so it’s not the same old food that almost every restaurant in the area always has. Not boring, same old food. But the staff usually a familiar face, that treats you like you are appreciated. They genuinely care if you enjoyed yourself and your meal. I cannot say enough good things about the quality of food, the constant updates and let’s be honest, shout out to Chef and the forever
Smiling Bri. Thank you guys!

ICC has become a go to during our yearly visit to the Chain of Lakes. Food, service, and atmosphere has always been fantastic. Last nights dinner was no different. Our server Scout was amazing, fun and bubbly. Our group of 7 all enjoyed the food and drinks. Whether we pulled up in our pontoon or pulled in with our car, 5/5 every time. Highly recommended.

We ate outside and it was so cute! Our waitress was so nice and very quick! The food was really good! Everyone liked what they got. The hamburger was great, the spicy chicken sandwich was so good! Definitely recommend if in the area and want to have waterfront seating!

My wife and I went to ICC for brunch today, which we do often. My wife got the hangover burger and I had the smoked salmon eggs benedict, both delicious. Our bloody marys were perfectly and promptly made by the always wonderful Macie and our server Caedyn was a delight. A great start to our Valentines Day!

Indian Crossing Waterfront Restaurant is in an awesome location. The atmosphere is great, the open air concept with the outdoor seating is very nice. The service we had was fantastic and the Old Fashioned I had was 5 stars.
The food I ordered was awful. I ordered the cheese curds (which were good) and the Brussels sprouts which were not good. They were soggy and peppery, not crispy roasted and the seasoning was off. I also ordered the Perch Dinner on a Friday night and that was the worst fish I’ve ever had in Wisconsin. The breading looked like a chicken tender and somehow they made it taste like a saltwater fish stick.
Their prices are also high for the portion size. They have an area on the menu labeled “substitutes” so you have options to change your sides. The pricing makes zero sense, to swap regular fries with sweet potato fries cost an additional $4. All of the substitutes range from $4-5 additional dollars. They might as well call this section “add on’s.” I don’t mind paying for food when it’s good but this wasn’t it. In my opinion the menu is just too large. There is no way a restaurant can do everything well. They should shrink the menu and master those dishes. I’m sure the pizza and burgers are good cause it’s hard to mess that up and to be fair I haven’t tried everything. Just sharing my experience as we go to Chain O Lakes annually and always go for dinner once we get off the water.

This fish fry was by far the worst I had ever eaten. Don’t waste money on it. Had the haddock and the fish was flaky and looked so good but the batter they use was terrible. They really need to change the batter. It taste like a bit of spice lemon and garlic was just gross and the French fries were so darn salty and covered in seasoning salt. Had the cheese curds and were full of grease chicken quesadilla was also horrible. Won’t be coming back.

The food is delicious! Service and atmosphere are great! Love how open & inviting the restaurant inside feels now with the new renovations. Love stopping out at the “Brown House” for a specialty cocktail & lake views- such a great addition. I brought my daughter there for Casino Kids games on the green and she had a blast! Definitely recommend
P.S- you have to try the Brownie Balls!!

“ICC” as it’s also known is THE BEST waterfront restaurant experience on the chain of lakes, bar none (pun intended). ICC celebrates its 100th anniversary in 2025! We’ve been going to ICC for years and improvements made in the last few years are truly stunning!!!! If you’ve never been, or it’s been awhile, GO NOW, you will thank me forever!! P.S. Watching boats & PWC continually pass back and forth between the lakes while enjoying your meal is a unique & fun aspect of this great waterfront location.

The iconic Indian Crossing Casino on the beautiful Chain o’ Lakes in Waupaca celebrates 100 years in business in 2025, and for good reason! People young and old have been flocking to this gathering spot to hang out, eat, drink, dance, meet new friends, and relax while watching boat traffic since the bygone days of flappers, Charlie Chaplin, and flagpole-sitting marathons! If that doesn’t bring you in to check it out, the gorgeous location and well-deserved reputation for delicious food will definitely entice you, and you’ll find yourself looking forward to your next visit! Their portion sizes are more than ample, the staff is attentive and friendly, and the scenery is not to be beat. A MUST STOP when visiting Waupaca!
