GRANITE FALLS MONTELLO — Restaurant in Montello

Our group was in town for the weekend and wanted to experience a WI supper club. We were there on a Saturday evening, and although it was busy when we arrived, we were seated pretty quickly. We seemed to be at the tail end of the dinner rush as the restaurant seemed to be fairly empty not too long after we arrived.

Our server seemed a little overwhelmed and had difficulty taking our drink order on her hand-held device. She basically handed the device to members of our party as she couldn’t find the drinks we were ordering, which were wine, a Bud Light and a vodka soda. She seemed to not know what a vodka soda was as she asked, “Is that with tonic, sour or water?” We ended up just going up to the bar and ordering a few drinks as she seemed very confused.

After we’d had our drinks for quite some time, she took our order. 15 minutes after taking our order, she came to our table and said, “They told you it’s going to be an hour, right? The kitchen is really backed up.” We hadn’t been told by anyone that it was going to be an hour and we asked if it was going to be an hour from when she took our order or an hour from that point. We never received a clear answer.

The owner then came over and apologized for the wait and offered to buy us a few appetizers, which we declined. We were a little frustrated at this point and just preferred to wait for our meals.

Our meals finally came an hour or so later and it was all pretty underwhelming. One of us ordered a burger and it was overcooked. Another one of us ordered a steak and it was also overcooked. The food isn’t bad, it’s just not that great.

The owners also offered to buy a couple of desserts, which we again declined – simply because we had been there for quite a while. They did pick up two glasses of wine, I believe, which was a nice gesture.

The highlight of the evening was when the owner (we believe it was one of the owners) came over to our table shortly after we had received our food and said, “How is it, terrible?” We replied that it was fine and she said, “Good, because there is nothing worse than fuking waiting for shtty food.”

Stay classy Granite Falls Supper Club!

1 star out of 5...and that’s because the relish...

Very disappointed. We were eager to visit because my mom had been there many times in the past with her grandparents years back and wanted to experience it again. We quickly found out this wasn’t the same supper club she remembered. My dad and I ordered Brandy Old Fashioned sweets and they were not sweet at all. When we asked the waitress if their soda gun was out and if we could get our drinks redone, she came back with our original drinks and said the bartender topped it off with more sprite to make it sweeter. Although it was sweeter, it was watered down and still not great. We got clam chowder with our fish fries. It was very subpar - watery and super peppery. I will say the one good thing that came out of this dinner was the fish. All of us throughly enjoyed our fish fry. But, the garlic bread tasted like the same Great Value stuff I buy from Walmart. Unfortunately all my mom’s good memories there from the past with her grandparents were erased with this unsavory experience. After seeing your unprofessional responses to other unhappy guests’ reviews, I can’t wait to see what you come up with for me.

Edit*: This was my experience from 2 years ago. I appreciate the new owner, Bill’s, response to my previous review. I am glad to hear there is a new owner and I will definitely give you guys another try when I’m back in town. Thanks for...

This Supper Club is a gem in downtown Montello! A visit to my parents who live nearby always includes dinner and an Old Fashioned at a local Supper Club (which can sometimes mean a 45min - 1 hr drive to one of the many popular clubs available). What a wonderful addition this restaurant makes to this quaint little town! I had to write a review because a restaurant like this is much needed here! It is definitely worth a visit.

You feel like you’re transported back to the 1920’s when you walk in, with original tile ceiling and speakeasy type atmosphere with a beautiful bar to sit at and order your drink before taking it back to your table.

The business owner mixes her own old fashioned mix, so although I usually like my drink sour, I thought it was a bit too sour so went with a sweet and it was just right. My martini was spot on. She even had Shlitz beer on tap! My mom loves the homemade mulled cider. I ordered the prime rib and it was cooked to perfection and all meals served with a complementary relish tray.

The staff was super friendly and prompt. Prices align with other supper clubs in Wisconsin, Dells area. Like any supper club, arrive early so you can get your drinks during happy hour and claim a table.

We always love our trips to Wisconsin to see mom and dad, and this place is now a new favorite. Can’t wait...
