Carl’s Catering & Banquet Facility

Our family has been to Carl’s in the past for Easter and Mother’s Day brunches and have always enjoyed the food. We decided this year for Easter to return. As always the food was great, however service… not as good.
When we arrived we asked for seperate checks per family to make thing easier for us to figure out. We were told that they couldn’t do that per policy. I understand alot of establishment’s do this at busy times, which is fine. The problem was when the check came. Nothing was seperated. Just a bill that said the grand total. Had no idea how many drinks we had and what the totals were. How much the tax was and even though the gratuity was added, it wasn’t listed or stated until we asked.
When asked about the bill and asked to at least let us know how many drinks we had at what price, the server seemed very aggrivated. Our bill was over $ 400 for our party. This was not a $ 40 dinner. Again, I understand being busy at a holiday, but honestly, it’s not that hard. We weren’t asking for something outrageous.
Besides that, on Easter, packed, there was 1 bartender. Im assuming because they were under staffed, this is why our server seemed aggrivated with us.
One final thing. It is 2016. Not many people pay with cash anymore. You can NOT use more than one card per table. Only cash and 1 card. Having 4 families at our table, this also made things difficult. I have checked the website and absolutely no mention of this. I suggest when calling for reservations, Carl’s, this should be mentioned.
All of that being said. I feel the service when I called for reservations was awesome. The food was awesome. But things need to be changed with billing in this establishment. It just stinks to have a nice brunch with friends and family and then sit for a half hour trying to figure out a $ 400 bill that, I believe, the server should have done.
I would go back, because the food is good. But everyone reading this… MAKE SURE YOU BRING CASH!

They have an amazing fish fry!!! We ordered to go which you have to do there, no calling ahead. You can also eat in their hall. I didn’t realize how large the pieces of fish were so I went with the three piece which really wasn’t necessary. Two pieces would have sufficed because they are huge! You have your choice of potato so I went with potato pancakes because this is Wisconsin. I was not disappointed. Their coleslaw is probably the best I’ve ever had. My only complaint is that I wish it would have been packaged in a cup/​bowl instead of the divider in the to go container. Also, a really neat thing is you get raspberry sherbet for dessert with your fish fry!
Fish fry’s are seasonal here so they are not available in the summer.

My daughter and son in law had their wedding reception at Carl’s last summer. Everything was amazing. The food was fantastic and very reasonably priced. The hall is very spacious and clean. Nicely decorated. Darlene really worked with us and was so accommodating in every respect! The bartenders were awesome. Very friendly and so much fun. Highly recommend this place!

Carl’s is your typical «event hall» establishment, located on Loomis Road in Greenfield. My family seems to really like this place — they’ve held funeral lunches, big parties and most recently a wedding reception here.
On the plus side, the people that run Carl’s are very pleasant and accommodating. They were happy to allow us in to the space early to decorate, and the servers were very efficient. Our bartender was absolutely great — funny and friendly.
On the minus side, the food was «meh» — but you can’t expect haute cuisine for $ 12.95/person.
During winter Carl’s has a weekly fish fry and they offer buffets on holidays like Thanksgiving + Mothers Day.
