Shout out to staff and owner!! Stopped Christmas Eve morning passing through town, so happy to have found a breakfast place open. Breakfast buffet was the only option but was perfect and very good! Even served Nueske’s bacon! Then one of the ladies came to our table to ask how everything is… then she informed us that it breakfast is no charge- she said every year the owner has the breakfast buffet on Christmas Eve free as their customer appreciation! Such a great thing to do! Thank you to the staff who worked and thank you to the owner! God Bless you all and Merry Christmas!

Went for the restart of the Sunday morning breakfast buffet.
Let’s begin with the positives.
The staff was very nice.
It was seat yourself, and I had gone to the counter which wasn’t near the entrance to ask how things worked. I got my coffee and ice water and headed to the buffet.
They were serving a buffet from what anywhere else is a small salad bar. Lots of small compartments hiding food you can’t identify without lifting the lids.
I tried a shredded potato hot dish that was very dense and lacked flavor. Scrambled eggs that were wet and bland, wet because of condensation in the small plastic bin they were in. I didn’t have the bacon as it looked very greasy and took sausage links instead they were cooked well but were bland. Maybe the sausage patties would have been a better choice.
Next I tried the pancakes. They were small but had to be to fit into their small compartment. They had good texture and flavor. I took a couple of french toast pieces but they were tough and overcooked. Next were the biscuits and sausage gravy. I took one bite and had enough. The biscuits were dusty dry and the gravy was not cooked down so was basically flour water with unseasoned sausage.
There were other choices I didn’t try ham slices and a few other mystery items I couldn’t identify through the plastic lids.
There was a separate station that had pastries, fruit, yogurt and a few other kid friendly items.
What I didn’t like is that everyone had to touch every lid and serving utensil just to see what food items were on the hot buffet.
I’m a coffee person and I had to make a pot when I got home as refills were hard to come by.
Hopefully it’s a work in process, there’s a lot that needs to be different. I might go back but not for the breakfast buffet.

Thee Crandon Hotel hass been around for years. Wee went and had a Friday fish fry. The fish fry was wonderful. I don’t know if this is the place to say it but, their Coleslaw is gross. The food is great but, I wouldn’t eat the coleslaw. I don’t want to discourage anyone from going there to eat and drink though. Maybe it’s just my taste. But, whoever makes the coleslaw needs help.

5/13/22Prime is awsome. Birthday dinner!
Update 8/18/23. Again, after a 12 hour trip to get there for my moms birthday i said lets go back since on my day it was so good. Well, this time didn’t yeild the same results. We asked about the NY strip, and my son went with it. It showed up as a fillet. Moms steak’um and fries, she said waa better than it looked. My 16 oz looked perfect, a medium and change was disappointing, and i had to add salt and lots of it to be honest. I would have put steak sauce on it next, beans were good, mac was good, pretzal was good. As a cook and restaurant owner i know things happen. But dont leave people with no drinks, dont let somebody not vested in table do order while a waitress gets smaller tip. And at 150 bucks on a Friday night, i went away disgusted and feeling like the argumentative young lady, only one drink, wrong food, lack of seasoning, nope i worked to hard and drove to far to be this unhappy about a special day. Probably wont happen again. To bad the first time was so good.

Simple supper club in Crandon, WI. Let’s start with the positives. Had a Friday Fish Fry, love my fish fries. Perch was exceptional. 6 large pieces, so more than I needed, AUCE not required. Slight sweetness to the breading, breading held on to the fish, couldn’t recommend more. Fries were thin cut, fresh, and tasty. Pretty standard but good. Had other options, I’ve potato pancakes but I was happy. Big winner? I chose the soup, clam chowder, and was the best I’ve had in WI. A lot of clams, potato’s, and a flavorful, creamy sauce. Meal was really, really good. Service, exceptional as well.
The restaurant is a little dated but it’s north central WI, so who cares. I recommend.

This is the best little “Gem” for breakfast or dinner in Crandon by far!. We celebrated 2 birthdays last night, one for my wife, and one for my good friend who is a chef. Our food was so good we went back for breakfast the next morning! Our friend, a chef from green bay, remarked ” this is the best pork chop I ever had”. Service was friendly, fast, and our server repeated back all items ordered to ensure it was correct. THANK YOU CAROLYN, STEVE AND TRISH, for making our evening so wonderful! We will be making Jamisons 1930 a regular stop on our trips to the northwoods!
PS. Order Jamison orange old fashioned, muddled perfectly!

Today 8 of us visited the Crandon Hotel for the Breakfast Buffet. My Bloody Mary was excellent. The Bartender & all the staff were very friendly. The buffet was very good. The price for seniors was under $10.00.

Great waitress, flavorful food- had cast iron chicken which was super moist and the honey-butter walleye which was amazing. We knew we were in Wisconsin with the fresh cheese curds! Thank you!

First Visit on recommendation of Tricia at Tricia’s Treasures. Cool historic location in Forest County seat. Historic bar. We had the salad bar – it was well stocked, fresh, and tasty – we enjoyed our visit. Felt like a hometown cafe/ diner.

Ok this place is FIRE! Been here two nights in a row now. Perch fish fry was excellent. Cajun shrimp pasta tastes like it’s made by a Michelin star chef. Oh, and the pretzels! Service was great too. Be back next year (2 nights in a row again, obviously).
