I had really high hopes for this restaurant, but was incredibly disappointed.
We ordered the lobster cakes to start, which were decent — although, the garnish lettuce underneath was wilted and tased like the bagged lettuce you get from the Walmart salad kits when they go bad. This made me nervous, because we put in the order for the appetizer and entrees all at once, and I had ordered a salad. I was anxious that the salad was going to use this same nasty lettuce.
Unfortunately, my fears were confirmed when the entrees arrived. The lettuce was the same, and the prime rib I got on the salad looked fatty and weird. It was also kind of cold when it came out. The lobster Mac n’ cheese was pretty good. I didn’t eat the salad, as I intended to send it back to the kitchen.
When our server, Tanya, came to check on us after quite some time had passed, she was displeased when we said we wanted to send the salad back. She gave us an attitude, and her entire demeanor changed. She was short and irritated with us, telling us, she’ll “she what she could do” about us sending the salad back.
Eventually, she came back with the bill, and removed the salad from it. Overall, it was a super weird vibe. The atmosphere of the restaurant was strange. The service was super slow, which was weird, because the restaurant was dead between the lunch and dinner rush. From being seated to leaving, it took a whole hour for just two waters, the lobster cakes, and two entrees. Can’t say I will be coming back again.

Have been here many times and keep coming back. The spinach artichoke dip is phenomenal and I’d be happy to eat a truckload. The selection changes a lot which gives us the opportunity to try different seasonal drinks and dishes. We usually get sat in the back bar area which is a bit bland decor wise but we are there for the food so it does not bother us. Waitstaff is usually attentive and kind, though we have had an occasion where it seemed our server got swamped and forgot to check in. Would definitely recommend you give it a try.

A TRAGIC MEAL. I should have recognized when we arrived the place was nearly empty.
The owners must eat elsewhere, as if they did the quality of the meals served woud be substantially improved.
It is empty for a reason. As hard as our server worked to make us comfortable, it could not make up for the dismal quality of the Ribs we were served.
The ribs were tough, dry and poorly coated. Even I couldn’t screw ribs up this bad.
To spend $100 for a set of overcooked ribs and a drink is nothing short of foolish. The owners must be considering closing the facility as they are not investing in the basics.

Loved the Smores Martini!! I had the lobster cakes, I wasn’t pleased with them, I thought they were overcooked, sat on old lettuce & served with a weird avocado sauce that I didn’t like…

My girlfriend and I went here for a dinner date. I have wanted to come to this restaurant because of the menu. We were served by a very nice and attentive server named Dayton. She was courteous and professional. The atmosphere was amazing and there were a good amount of people who were already there having a good time. My girlfriend ordered the brisket egg rolls, and I order some buffalo wings with barbecue sauce, and a double order of ribs. The wings were amazing! And the ribs were really good. The best I’ve had since Famous Dave’s closed. And that’s impressive. Shout out to the cooks. If you’re looking for a nice restaurant and award winning food, come to Wilder’s Bistro. You won’t regret it one bit.

Wilder’s had always been one of my favorite places to order for from while I was in Appleton, but this is the first time I’ve eaten in the restaurant, so it’s about time for a proper review.
The atmosphere as you enter is rather unassuming but nice. Entering the dining area, though, you get to see where they get the Bistro part of their name. It feels like you enter into an indoor courtyard and really adds to the ambiance. I really enjoyed the decor as well. Very cute all around.
The staff was very pleasant and helpful. Our waitress, Jess, was a delight. She went over the various specialty menus that we got because it was both lunch time as well as spring.
I ended up ordering my usual, the Wilder’s Bistro Melt with chicken. My wife got the BLAT, basically a BLT with avocado. She got the garlic parmesan fries with hers, and I got the regular fries as I usually do.
The first thing I noticed when we got the food was how crisp the toast was. Usually, for takeout, the Texas toast softens a bit by the time we get home with it, which I do enjoy so much to be fair, but this was just as delicious and more satisfying with that crunch. The chicken was thick and juicy as normal for them, and the toppings were fresh and well done. But be prepared with your napkin because these sandwiches are very greasy to the touch! I personally don’t mind that, but it’s definitely not a meal you eat while on your phone. It certainly earns its place on the comfort food menu!
My wife really enjoyed her BLAT, too. The ingredients seemed very fresh and well presented.
We both got full enough on just half of our meals, so if you don’t want leftovers, consider splitting an entrée and maybe dessert while you are at it. The appetizers are normally pretty fantastic as well, so you can’t go wrong on either side of the main course.
They have some great options for the kids, too. I would recommend the Mac and cheese, which comes with garlic Texas toast and grapes, and the toast is worth the meal in and of itself.
All in all, I will always recommend Wilder’s in Appleton if you are up for some great quality food that fills that comfort niche without being super unhealthy. Whether eating in or taking out, you will be in for a tasty treat!

Food was very good. Appetizer was good, little light on the amount of pretzels to the amount of dip but all good. Burgers were delicious as were the fries and tots! Service on the other hand was not good at all. We had to ask for our server sever times. He barely spoke to us. It was us and 2 other tables at lunch time so it was not a busy factor at all. 3 servers for 3 tables and we felt like we had to beg for service. Not sure we will come back. Very plain with prices that want them to be high end.

First timers turned to positive returners!
He saw a segment on local news. Knowing I have a preference for flavorful and original foods options, he had to take me. Our dishes were fantabulous! I had the catfish dish. He had the Smokehouse meats (BBQ ribs and andoullie sausage. Can’t forget the sides and cornbread, slaw, baked beans and no dish is complete without black eyed peas! Hearty servings, had to get boxes.
Looking forward to the next time!

We went for a lunch party, we all ended up sick. My mom saw a nurse and a physician assistant and both told her she had food poisoning. I have been sick since Saturday night, 7 of the 8 people ended up getting sick. They do not recognize the military or veterans with any kind of discount. One of our meals came out 20 minutes after the rest of us all had our meals. No compensation for that screw up. I would not recommend this restaurant!!

Probably my fault it was 4 stars. I tried ordering things that were different than I normally would eat and they were better than I expected. If I would have ordered something I generally like more it probably would have been 5 stars. So it was delicious and worth the little extra time it took to come out. I definitely will go back and try many different items. Really reminds me of a great place where I didn’t have to lower my expectations to eat there. Waitress was smart and knowledgeable about the food.
