I brought a group of flatlanders up to Fond du Lac for a bike race. Many of them know my affection for wisco supper clubs and family restaurants. The pressure was on.
Katy’s was only a 15 minute drive from our hotels and had a menu with something for everyone. We shared some appetizers including the 3 for $12 assortment, who isn’t happy with fried cheese curds?!?
The salad bar was better than I expected from these reviews. They also had two soups, broccoli cheese and seafood chowder. Rolls and butter also available.
It being Saturday night we had Wisconsin’s greatest hits available - fish fry, broasted chicken, prime rib. So many potato choices. A small but clever hack of putting the butter pats inside the baked potato so the butter melts right on it. There was something for everyone, even one ice cream sundae made it to the table.

My boyfriend had the battered walleye which was just okay. The service wasn’t great either. Overall this experience was just...
Read moreFood was very good. Drinks were good. Bartenders were great. Got seated in a reasonable time. Didn't know salad bar came with our meal until sitting there 10 minutes after we ordered then the waitress told us. Salad bar was ok. Breadsticks tasted old, the cottage cheese had green chives or green onions over the top but the soup was really good. We ordered food to go also and that took forever, 40 minutes or more. I think when you have take out they should get salad or coleslaw with it if the price...
