Great climate, feels like stepping back in time. Salad bar is «Old School» and that’s a good thing. We’ve ate there several times and the food is always good. The service has also been excellent as well.

I can see by other reviews that mine likely won’t be popular, but it doesn’t make it any less valid… Tonight’s visit was not out first, but definitely our last. We had company in town and a Groupon to gas, so off to Feil’s we went, a half-hour drive away. Things started to fall apart from the moment we arrived: we stood at the hostess station for two minutes, completely ignored by the employee standing there(I’ll protect the name of the guilty), but hey, perhaps she was unaware that hostesses are supposed to host; to our great fortune, said hostess turned out to be our server; when asked what kind of bottled beer they carried, she responded in an awkward body-language-voice combination worthy of a reoccurring SNL character, «I don’t know, Miller Lite?;» upon which I hoofed it over to the bar and performed my own due diligence, whereat I was presented with a beer list… what a novel idea!; this was followed by delicious homemade bread served without plates, a reuben sandwich served refrigerator cold and a five-year old being charged for an ‘adult soup and salad bar.’ Oh, I failed to mention that after said ‘Miller Lite?’ response that I had politely mentioned to another server that we were getting off to a rough start and that our server seemed like she could use some assistance. That certainly proved to be a worthwhile interaction, but I digress… On the way out, I asked the bartender if he would let the manager know that I would like to speak with him. Again, to our great fortune, the manager on duty turned out to be the owner himself… the same gentleman professing his love for foodservice right here on Unilocal.But this gentleman didn’t come over to talk to me, no, he disappeared into the kitchen for three minutes, emerged for a brief time — hands on hip as if he were Clark Griswold admiring his 50-yard wagon jump into the desert — then disappeared back into the kitchen. Having determined that I was ready to exit this episode of the Twilight Zone, I walked out, head shaking and uttering the word, ‘unfathomable.’ All in, this excursion cost $ 75 and I’ve promised myself that should I ever find myself tempted to return to Feil’s, I’ll stash $ 75 in my bathroom and put it to much more satisfactory and productive use. #avisitfortheages

Great service, good food, tasty drinks! The amount of food is plentiful plus the meal comes with a salad bar. The staff was so friendly! The homemade onion haystacks are incredible! After dinner we saddled up to the bar for an ice cream drink. The Tia Mocha was awesome and they are running Grasshopper specials for the month of March, only $ 2! Bartender was friendly as well. Highly recommend this place!

Went here with the family for dinner on Saturday… it had been years since my last visit. Love the cozy atmosphere. It’s old school, but in a good way. The bartender Lisa was very friendly and prompt. We all had old fashioneds and they were great. Love the homemade mushrooms! My son’s kiddie cocktail was made with real cherries which was awesome as well :) We all enjoyed our dinners. I had the stuffed portobello mushroom which was very tasty. My mom had their salmon which was equally as good… loved the sweet glaze on it! Homemade garlic mashed potatoes were to die for and the soup of the day, which was a creamy spinach was very tasty. The main thing that I really love about Feil’s that I feel sets it apart from some other places is their salad bar. It is AMAZING. Huge. Tons of different pasta and veggie salads to choose from. I tasted most of them and really enjoyed them all. We’ll definitely be back and it won’t be years this time.

I went on a Saturday night to their Oktoberfest buffet. The staff were all very friendly and the food on the buffet tasted fresh even though I had gotten there after 8PM. My only complaints were there were no German desserts on the buffet… which I mentioned to the wait staff who told me she liked my suggestion and passed it on. The price of the buffet was $ 15 but did not include a soft drink, which was another $ 2. The German beer prices were high($ 7 for a bottle of Hacker– Shorr) so I opted for Pepsi because they did not have Coke products.

Classic Sconnie supper club! Great cocktails(have John mix you an old fashioned sweet!), delightful décor and pretty awesome food. I started eyeing up the salad bar the minute we walked in — can you say 3 jello salads?!? I ordered the 10oz filet mignon(medium rare please) and it rocked. Cooked perfectly, good char and juicy as hell. Don’t miss the onion(st)rings — greasy goodness! Friends got ribs, breasted chicken and jäger schnitzel all of which was great. We left incredibly stuffed and fighting food hangovers the next morning. Enjoy the scenic drive on the way up/back from wherever you are.

Das ist güt ! These guys really keep the supper club tradition going. A place with very European cottage atmosphere and friendly staff. The food is very good . They know how to make a steak to your liking. Fresh bread on the table. The german fare is wonderful from spaetzle to saüerbraten, jägerschnitzel to cabbage rolls they fill a belly with hearty goodness. I dare you to leave hungry.

Well, it’s a typical German themed Wisconsin supper club. You get what you expect to get out of a vintage never changing Wisconsin supper club. I have been going to Feil’s for my entire life, and my favorite thing to order is the Herbie. So you ask, What is the Herbie? I’ll tell you what the Herbie is: A steak broiled to perfection topped with fried onion straws. When I say topped, I mean completely covering the steak so that you do not even know that there is a steak under them! Trust me when I say this, you really have to like the taste of onion to order this. It is something special! The salad bar rocks. It is clean and full has plenty of salad bar standard choices including typical Wisconsin pasta salads, potato salads, & Cole slaw dishes. Great fish fry, and meat selection. Most things on the menu look to be homemade. Clam Chowder is fantastic! If it is your first outing to Feil’s, I suggest either hitting up the Friday fish fry(walleye, cod, crappie) or order a steak w/potato. So if you are looking for the true old time Wisconsin supper club experience, you can’t go wrong with Feil’s!

Nothing special… just typical Wisconsin super club food. The décor is very outdated.

I took my mother in-law and wife here for brunch for Mother’s Day and was not very impressed. First off, it was advertised as a brunch but it didn’t have ANY breakfast items. Mashed potatoes, stuffing, pork loin and ham were on the buffet along with carrots and beans I believe. They had a large salad bar, which appeared to be something straight out of That 70’s show. Lots of pre-made pasta salads and your usual salad bar options. In my opinion, this would be a great place to go for a fish fry or a casual dinner out but I wouldn’t recommend it as a special occasion destination.

You must get Herb’s special! It’s amazing! The walleye was very, very good and the ambiance can’t be beat! I absolutely love the is place. It is a quintessential Wisconsin supper club and well worth the short drive from Madison. I love that it is in the absolute middle of nowhere and it is a huge restaurant packed with cars in the lot. We even had to wait 45 minutes to get in but we waited at the bar which served great drinks and snacks!

Solid 3 star experience. Very much a family style place. The interior is filled with old German beer hall furnishings. The bar boasts 3 wines on tap(Yes, I’ve never seen wine on tap, either!). The servers seemed disinterested, or perhaps just inexperienced. The menu is very extensive and includes a wide variety of meat dishes and fish dishes. I ordered the fried walleye. Overall it was decent, but veiny. The tartar sauce was delicious, the executive chef told us it was a tarragon tartar sauce. I had the potato wedges as my side and they were not cooked enough to my liking, probably because it was basically one full potato cut into 4 sections then breaded and fried. One of our dining companions had salmon and said it was the best he’s ever had, and he works in a popular restaurant in downtown Chicago. All entrees come with the salad bar. It is not the kind of salad bar I might expect in Milwaukee, and definitely has a more rural-wisconsin twist(little marshmallow green fluff pudding comes to mind). The entrees also come with bread that they bake in house(some old family recipe) that was good.

I agree with some of the others who say that the entrees here are far from perfect: the sauerbraten is serviceable but mediocre, the more elaborate or expensive seafood dishes are disappointing. This isn’t a place to order lobster, or shrimp scampi. But the steak is decent, and I’d imagine the fried fish and schnitzel are good. The salad bar is well-prepared, and it’s the main reason, along with the atmosphere, that I come. The selection is probably completely unchanged from what it was 20 or 30 years ago(no romaine lettuce, just iceberg; those little square croutons that every other restaurant seems to have dropped; plenty of creamy, mild salads, and a row of sliced cheese and liverwurst at the end). It’s satisfying in a retro way, and if you combine it with the included soup and bread, it can be a very affordable dinner in itself. The décor, like the salad bar, has a circa-1975 charm. Dark wood paneling all around, stained glass, steins and German coats of arms on the wall. I vividly associate this sort of dark, slightly dank backdrop with restaurants of my childhood, like the Capri in Columbus, or Paisan’s; but both of those have entirely redecorated now, and quite a few others that used to be comparable have gone out of business. Feil’s stays the same, and I imagine it will for quite a while. If you’re looking for a truly excellent steak, or a salad bar with bold, unexpected offerings, I’d go elsewhere. But if you want an unadulterated supper-club experience, with no concessions to the present, I highly recommend this place.

No trip to Wisconsin would be complete without a trip to Fiel’s! The BEST onion rings on the planet, and an always-excellent salad bar(fresh spinach with hot sweet/sour/bacon/onion dressing) and fresh mini loaves of bread. Try to visit on Wednesday night –when the special is Jaegerschnitzel with spatezel. To DIE for(and my family owned a German restaurant). Great bargain, too — just $ 12.95 including the salad bar. Enough leftover for lunch the next day! We managed to eat here two of the five nights we were in town. It’s just that good. Can’t wait for next year’s Airventure, and another trip to Wisconsin(and Fiel’s).

Fiel’s Supper Club is an old restaurant that goes way back. I can recall going there with my grandparents years ago. We decided to check them out again as a nice place to have a little celebration. It was a little before supper time. The place was near empty when we arrived but about three parties arrived shortly after we did. There was no one at the bar. We were seated promptly. The service was ok and our food arrived timely enough. The meals looked like prepared meals shipped in frozen and heated up. One of our party had shrimp which they liked. I ordered lobster which was cold and rubbery. ie, overcooked or maybe worse. I should have sent it back but I didn’t want to upset our celebration so I kept quite. The salad bar has some unique items in it that some may like, like braunschweiger. The meals were way overpriced for their quality. They can’t have a chef in the kitchen. They brag about their homemade bread which we received a loaf. Nothing to brag about. It was not much more different than some grocery store loaf that they heated up. The people next to us commented on how good the bread was! This is why places like this stay in business. People don’t know better. They have ample parking and the restaurant is pretty spacious. They need to start cooking their own food, get a chef, get a new recipe for the bread, and make their prices more appropriate for their dishes.

If you are in the Columbus, Beaver Dam, Randolph, WI are and are up for some good ol’ fashion supper clubbin’, Feil’s is the place for you. You’ll feel like you landed in Munich when you walk into the heavily German style decorated restaurant. Usually packed on a weekend night, you should make reservations if you wish for a prompt seat at the dinner table. If you don’t mind the wait, Feil’s features a full bar w/stiff drinks and home-made salsa and chips that will please your taste buds. Most dinners are traditional entrees like steaks, fish and other«blue hair» favorites. You’ll get a «all you can eat» salad bar included with your meal, so you can pig up on salads, slaw, soups and other odd sides like liverwurst and German favorites. Your dinner comes with a «free» home-made loaf of bread that tastes like heaven and Feil’s prides themselves on serving over a million of these tasty loaves. The main course portions are so large that even Kevin Smith would ask for a doggy bag. If you leave this place hungry, you’d better find help at Jenny Craig. Dinner for two will cost you roughly 45 dollars for both meals and a couple of drinks. If you wish to get fluthered, it would be a little more. The only downside to this place is the bad gas I’ve experienced after each visit. I’d recommend this place for a first date, but if you are trying to get some after dinner action, you’d better choose elsewhere. I’m serious. The gas is violent and the odor from it is so pungent that it leaves you and those around you installing the shirt filter while running for a different room. All in all, Feils is a great value. When in Randolph, plan on stopping in for a feast!
