Reviews for Smokey's Restaurant and Supper Club in Manitowish Waters, WI

What a fantastic restaurant! Went here in a group of six and we were all super impressed. We arrived a little early so we... started with cocktails at the bar (protip: don't sleep on the bar nuts, they're delicious!) and then seamlessly transitioned toour table when it was ready. This is a real Northwoods supper club, so there were relish trays already on the table. Fivedifferent cheeses and spreads (olive tapenade was my favorite). Then moved on to a wonderful French onion soup. Always happywhen a place uses real gruyere cheese (too many are cheaping out with provolone!). For the main I got the steak frites, whichwas a perfect medium rare. The rest of the table got seafood and were thrilled. We split two dessert samplers at the end andeach was more delicious than the last. I cannot recommend Smokey's enough! Read more

Wow! Wonderfully Upscale! Make your reservation now! Our first time attending we spent our 41st anniversary here & had an... excellent evening. Our Server Lori was the ultimate professional. Our meal was exceptional! And...a surprise complimentaryAnniversary dessert was served! Thank you to all! Read more

This place was really hyped up to us by the locals, but we were sadly let down by the mediocre food and careless pub-style... service. The blue cheese dressing on the salads was excellent, for sure, but my chicken was so dry I couldn't swallow it. Thesalmon was good, but the mashed potatoes tasted poorly & were not fluffy, but tough. They had the consistency of being a dayold. The bread pudding was also recommended. We thought it was, once again, medicore, did not like the chocolate chips in it.Would've been better with cinnamon chips. Certainly over priced with inconsistent quality! Disappointed. ????

My wife and I, along with another couple, stopped by just to see if we could get a table last minute on a Saturday night and... lucky for us they had a cancelation. The food, staff and ambiance was incredible. This was one of the best dinning experiencemy wife and I have had in quite a while. Kelsi was our server and I wish I could clone her and have her as our server at everyrestaurant we go to. Honestly, Smokies food is worth every penny and the four of us left very full and making plans to come hereagain the next time we are in the area. Read more

We stopped here thinking it was some sort bbq place but we were way wrong very upper class place dress code. Definitely a place... we're the older people go. The food was very good drinks were very strong. Our waitress was good. Everything is super expensive5 scallops $18! Read more

Fantastic diamond of a supper club hidden away in the northwoods! Going out here has become an annual family tradition for a... decade now, and they've never failed to impress us once! Plan to spend 2-3 hours enjoying the evening, depending on yourpreferred pace and size of party. The friendly atmosphere and service with a midwest, cozy flair is what elevates this finedining to its own category. There's simply nothing else quite like it. While reservations are not technically mandatory, youwill really, really want one anytime during the summer season. They're very good about not over-crowding the dining room orkitchen, but that means normal times can be booked weeks in-advance. Holidays? A month or two. This might seem bizarre for WI,but I assure you, it's worth it! I couldn't recommend them more highly for a memorable experience that will leave you smilingear-to-ear. Read more

Recently had a two only ok experience lately. I used to like this place. Prices are pretty high for the quantity of food. Avoid... the cottage fries. And the quality of the steaks has decreased as has their ability to prepare a steak other than rare. Thereare two very redeemable qualities however that could save this place. The service is 5 stars plus! And the seafood I wouldrate as very good. Read more

Excellent higher end dining option for the Minocqua area. Food was excellent and well presented, as well as being at a fair... price point for the quality. Service was wonderful, and Barbara took great care of us! The atmosphere is very well done, and thelive piano music adds a nice touch. If you're looking to spend $20 or less per person, this isn't the place. But the extraexpense is very much worth it, in my opinion. Read more
