Sky Club Supper Club — Restaurant in Village of Plover

Their Christmas buffet is a downright scam. 80 dollars for three people to chew on tiny rib pieces as tough as leather, mashed potatoes with the consistency of glue, fried chicken dryer than my aunt's sense of humor, and ham that may as well have been on ice for as lukewarm as it had become. In all seriousness though, I took my girlfriend and mother out for Christmas dinner, I booked us a booth away from the bar since I knew it would be busy and wanted to avoid uncomfortable table chairs and loud parties. The gentleman who made my reservation said this would be no problem. However, when we arrived we were asked to wait almost seven minutes before we were seated. Not a big deal to me if it meant a good spot. Nope! we got sat right next to the bar at a table. Specifically what I had expressly stated I wanted to avoid. As we were sitting down my mother spoke up and asked me "I thought you reserved us a booth" to which I replied while looking at the lady who had seated us: "Yes I did reserve a booth." Her response however, was to just avoid eye contact and walk away quickly. Afterwards we spent another five minutes waiting for our server to bring water for the table and point us in the direction of the buffet since it was extremely crowded and there was no clear path or direction to the buffet location. After no one came for those five minutes my mother ended up asking directions from a couple who was sitting in front of us. So we all got up and headed vaguely in the direction we thought would take us to the buffet. When we finally found it I couldn't believe what I saw. The buffet was hidden in a tiny tiny room with people crowding to get inside. There were at least 200 people in the restaurant and they decided to cram the buffet into a tiny room. Makes sense right? Well, after I saw what the buffet consisted of I could totally see why they only needed a small room. This "buffet" if you could even call it that consisted of a mere handful of selections on a table smaller than the one we were sitting at! There was no selection for vegetables whatsoever. You get a carrot and broccoli combination and that's it. There was no steak, no beef, no chicken that wasn't fried to a crisp. It was completely unbelievable. You could take your pick from cold ham swimming in water, microscopic rib pieces that were 95% bone and 5% shoe leather or shrimp so mushy you could tell they came from a box bought at Walmart. That's not even considering the so called "salad bar" which consisted of a ring of ice and maybe three different plates of random jelly and store bought pasta. My girlfriend and mother never went back for seconds and I was so disgusted with my first plate that I had to sampled the remaining choices I had yet to try. In this case the chicken and the ham. It was awful. It was all so terribly awful and so painfully obviously either from a can or shoved into a microwave. This is completely and utterly unacceptable for 23 dollars per person. When we decided we had enough of this sorry excuse of a buffet we took the bill to the front and were greeted by the cashier talking to another coworker, where she so blatantly stated to the other coworker "it's amazing how you change your personality to be so friendly when a customer walks up." Followed by giggles from both workers as if I wasn't standing right in front of them staring in disbelief. No one asked if the food was okay, no one asked if we were enjoying everything today, no one asked if they could bring us anything. Our waitress only came to the table once to fill up our dirty cups with tap water before wandering to the bar to chit chat with the party up there. I have never before seen such levels of disregard for a party or for the quality of food offered at this price point, they certainly do not deserve my 78.60 for this blatant scam. Merry Christmas Sky Club, you should be ashamed of yourselves for running a sh*t show like this, on Christmas too of all days. enjoy my 80 bucks, you clearly need it...

I honestly wanted to like this place because of it's history in the town but I just couldn't like any of it. My wife and I were here for an event and decided to go in early for supper. Right away we were turned off. The hostess ignored us until we asked a question, and then she gave us two options and turned away to talk to another worker. We just walked away to look around and came back to be seated by someone else. When we got our seats the atmosphere, tables, and decor were all lousy. None of the decor matched like the restaurant owners just kept patching it over the years with more random mismatched styles. The waitress didn't explain anything. We had to ask after ordering to make sure the salad bar was included because the menu made it sound like you had to choose between it or soup or bread. They're known for being the first salad bar but its like they never changed it in 50 years. Nothings labeled (I know what common salad stuff looks like but still its less welcoming), it was out of plates, some pasta salads had a weird looking skin like it sat out too long. Honestly should have just gone to Pizza Hut for a better salad bar. For a room with 4 non-waiter/waitress service staff (where they busboys?) they sure didn't manage it well. We then waited 45 minutes for our cafeteria food. I'm not joking, I would rather go to any chain restaurant for food. I got half a potato smaller than my fist for "twice baked potato." You can go down to the market and get bigger local potatoes. This place is in dire need of a makeover both in the dining room and in the food the...

My wife and I recently visited the Sky Club, a Stevens Point institution. I wish that I could give it a better review, but, in all honesty, I cannot. The Sky Club is a higher end supper club. We were impressed by the décor and the seating arrangements. The service was prompt and attentive. We ordered drinks before ordering our meals. They make truly superior vodka martinis that take your breath away. My wife ordered the French dip sandwich while I ordered pecan salmon. As appetizers we ordered soup: I ordered the au gratin French onion while my wife ordered basil dumpling. The au gratin French onion soup was excellent and piping hot. My wife describes her basil dumpling soup as good. Unfortunately, it took an inordinate amount of time for the main courses to be served. My estimate was an hour. Now, I don’t expect fast food when I go to a fine dining establishment. But our wait was excessive. As for the food, my wife described her French dip sandwich as only average, nothing to write home about. My salmon was flaky but dry, as though it had been reheated. It was not very warm and I could barely taste the honey marinade. Surprising and disappointing. The Sky Club has been around for a long time. To last as long as it has, it must have an excellent reputation. I can only assume that the chef was having an unusual off night. I am sure that we will visit the Sky Club again at some time in the future, but for now, I can only give it 3 ½ stars...
