We lived in Oshkosh for a time a long time ago … the mid-80’s … it was a fixture then. Fried perch the main draw, with a view of the lake. The restaurant seems much now as it was then. We were there Saturday for lunch with some old friends that still live in Oshkosh. Sorry I didn’t get any photos. My wife got the fried perch. Lightly battered and nicely done they were as good as expected with tartar sauce. Not hungry for fish, I had a 1/2 pound cheeseburger. Maybe I just wasn’t hungry as it just didn’t appeal to me. I should have gotten the smaller 1/4 pound offering. Our server was very nice. A young girl who was responsive and pleasant. An assert to the biz. I did start out with a Bloody Mary from the bar. Served in a tall glass with garnish of a pickled Brussels sprout, mushroom, green olive and a very good pickled spear. Only in Wisconsin! The drink itself was just spicy enough. Tasty and refreshing. We still have family and friends up there. We’ll be back. It’s the real deal for the fish and the Wisconsin experience.

This is a great place for fresh fish. Cocktails were good and reasonable and our food delicious. Be prepared to wait, we arrived a little after 4:30 and had about a 20 minute wait but were able to sit at the bar and chatted with locals. If we are in Oshkosh again, we will eat here again.

Place was packed for EAA Oshkosh week but the servers were very attentive & efficient. 30mins til we were seated inside. Eclectic place. Food was good. I enjoyed the grill salmon – wish they served it with rice and vegis though. Got baked potato and a roll instead. Dgt had chicken fingers and husband had huge haddock sandwich- this was so juicy and delicious. The clam chowder was ok; but cheesy soup was very creamy and delicious. The cheese curds were excellent!!

Didn’t try the food but went for sturgeon spearing event. It’s the place to be! See tradition, celebrate accomplishments, congregate w community. Servers were in the zone, despite how crazy crowded the place was.

Great view of the lake. There’s an area behind the restaurant where you can walk out onto the pier and along the beach.
I had the perch. It was tasty. It wasn’t busy at all, just me and one other table, yet the service was a little lacking. I had to wait 5 minutes to pay my bill because no one was around.

I had the French dip. It was good. My bf had the smokehouse melt (BBQ pork, ham and bacon). That was good too. The bartender was friendly and great at her job. The only reason I only gave 3 stars was because we paid $12 and$13 for just a sandwich. No fries no pickles. Just a sandwich. Even though the sandwiches were good IMO it wasn’t worth the price.

Always a great experience!! Food is always excellent, best perch around by far. Staff is friendly and helpful. I love that they offer fish fry everyday of the week.

My husband loves that restaurant. Seriously, the fried perch is the best! We always leave with a good feeling. I always recommend it, it’s family-friendly with a nice view of the lake and lots of parking.

We came here as a recommendation from my Mom and her Husband. We were able to try some good food, mainly the fried Perch & Walleye, which are not allowed in California because they are more worried about the trout & salmon there !
But I have been telling my girlfriend how good both the fish and cheese curds are and now she has gotten to experience them firsthand!
We also really loved the Duck Wontons as well!

We visited Wendt’s on a Friday night, so the place was packed. Without a reservation, we were told to expect an hour and half wait for a table. Luckily two spaces opened up at the bar!!
Some friendly locals told us about their drinks: Old Fashioneds that were ordered “sweet” or “sour.” We chose the sweet with brandy and the sour with whisky. These were served in tall glasses with ice. They were light and refreshing on a summer night.
Wendt’s is known for fish so my companion ordered the seafood trio and I had the perch and lobster. Both were very fresh and tasty. The lobster consisted of small pieces that didn’t taste like lobster so I asked about it and was told it was “slip” lobster. After a quick Internet search, I think it is “slipper lobster.” I ate it all but felt a bit deceived, like it was false advertising.
