Schaumburg Dinner Club

Some of the better prime rib in the area. Hubby had the half rack of ribs and they literally fell off the bone! Only reason for 4 stars versus 5 was that they do not take credit cards, only cash or check.

Been coming here since we were kids — this was always our 2^nd favorite place up here many years ago when there was another supper club named Edna’s that was next to Radel’s bait shop back in the 60’s and 70’s. Schaumburg’s survived the test of time and still has excellent Perch, Seafood Specials, Broasted Chicken and Prime Rib. Great Lake views, Classic Bar and very strong cheap drinks. The place is out a Robert Frost Novel — just amazing classic charming Americana from yesteryear.

Always remember Byron Madigan, long time Packers fan and long time Schaumburg patron. My grandpa says Go Pack!!!

My family has been coming to Fox Lake for vacations since we were little kids, and Schaumburg Supper Club is a must every time. The fish fry and prime rib are their signature dishes and with good reason. Best in the area! They also now have a «light» section on their menu with smaller portions of meat for those who are watching their weight or have smaller appetites, which is a nice touch.
The building itself is a historic renovated mansion (which was supposedly a former brothel) in a beautiful natural setting of trees. They do have some funny quirks here, such as a cash (or checks) –only policy, and they only do mashed potatoes on Sundays. But we’re willing to let them have their quirks for that prime rib!

Great supper club in the middle of what seems as nowhere. This isn’t fine dining. It’s not supposed to be. Great midwest comfort food. Awesome ambiance with a ton of locals. Fresh fish. Blue gill was perfectly battered and fried. Awesome fish and chips. Enough sides to fill you up without a main course. Friendly service. Overall great place. Can’t wait to go back.

This supper club has been a part of my life since I was a baby. My parents have a lake house in Fox Lake and eating at Schaumburgs was just part of our Saturday night tradition. The fish fry is very good, but the prime rib is the best I have ever had. I have taken various friends and family members here and they all agree that it is hands down the BEST prime rib they’ve ever tasted. The seasoning around it is to die for, and the cook and tenderness is perfect. Dave-​the owner and bartender is great (have him whip you up a whiskey old fashioned sweet with mushrooms). The staff has always been very attentive and friendly. While I’ll admit, the décor inside may be a little dated, it is all part of the experience and history. It is clean and cozy, and the view of Lake Emily is very pretty, especially around sunset. The menu is relatively small, but they always have approx. 10 specials (at least on the weekends).
Definitely worth a try, but the prime rib is a MUST!

My family has been eating here since I was little. My parents actually had their rehearsal dinner here! Schaumburgs is a staple in my family for Sunday dinners. We enjoy the friendly faces we see whenever we are there. I would highly recommend the baked french onion soup. We have it every time we are there! Other family favorites include the broiled chicken, baked fish, and the ham.
For Holidays they also make specials that are delicious. I am a fan of their St. Patties day, Easter, and Mothers Day meals. In the summer they have outdoor entertainment that is also a blast with drink and meal specials.
I would highly recommend this place to anyone in town. Besides its a historic place located on the shores of Lake Emily, with beautiful mature trees. Its a lovely place.

No, no, no. This place is absolutely tragic. As a non-​fish eater, I recommend that you up the rest of your menu. If you are going to do fish well and the rest of your food terrible, please just get rid of your menu.
I had pasta. Yes, poor decision on my part. Who gets pasta? Then again, who puts food on a menu that is terrible? My pasta was overcooked, watery and a mound of mush. The must not have bothered to drain the water because you could see water on it.
Disgusting. Anytime someone mentions going there, I suddenly pretend to be sick or busy.

I only ate here once and ordered the duck and it was GREAT!!! I have a few lousy ducks lately (including Del Bar), but this place did it right. I will try this place again and if they do well, I will up my rating. Worth checking out!

I went to this place last night, and had the roasted duck and my date had the loaded tenderloin, both were one of their specials for the evening, we made reservations for 8pm but showed up half hour early for some drinks in the bar, to our surprise we were seated without any hesitation, lovely atmosphere, the duck was delicious.
had a taste of the loaded tenderloin and it was good too… my only gripe is that our waitress didnt come around as often as i would have like but that’s it. i am definitely will be returning to dine again.

From Shirley Temples as a little girl to fruity smoothies infused with alcohol as a twenty-​something, this place has been a part of my heart (and my summers) for years. The drive up to the restaurant is gorgeous, with tall trees leading the way to an old mansion with a beautiful lake behind it. The interior is cozy with history, the food has always satisfied (the Walleye is wonderful), and the staff has always been pleasant. My father’s always been the one who had paid for our meals here, so I can’t speak for how much things cost. But I bet you it’s pricey. And you know what? It is damn well worth it for a fancy night out in the middle of Wisconsin.

The Schaumburg is a great find for those who are in the Green Lake Terrace area. I’ve been wanting to check it out for years, and we finally went on Saturday night. Gotta say, the impressive lawn with the trees as you drive up to the mansion was so gorgeous! The place is located right on Lake Emily and has a beautiful view from the bar. It could use a facelift on the inside, but as per everything in that area it was clean and tidy.
We were seated at a cozy table for six and were pleasantly suprpised to have one of the best servers ever! This girl was great — anticipated every need, was there when you needed her, pleasant but not too chatty. We were very impressed! The appetizers were yummy — we got a house platter to share and it involved a lot of deep fried vegetable and cheese. The salads were standard, no biggie there, and we passed the time discussing the history of the place provided in a fun pamphlet — it has quite a story — from a wayside house for travelers to pirate gold! Murder and intrigue — I would love to hear about the ghostly goings-​on!
Anyway, dinner arrived and it was DELICIOUS! I ordered the 12 oz prime rib and it was done to medium perfection. The baked potato was petite and hot, and served with chive sour cream. Yum! Everyone else had filet of some kind — one of my dinner companions ordered the walleye and proclaimed it delightful!
After dinner, I had to try the Schaumtorte and I must say — it was interesting! I can’t say I would get it again, but I’m glad I tried it. The meringue was very crispy and the strawberry sauce was very sweet. It was a completely new texture to me! The cheese cake is what I’ll get the next time I go — I tried a bite of my friend’s and it was awesome! Clearly homemade and creamy… ooooh!
The Schaumburg is cemented on my rotation of dinner spots… well priced (the prime was $ 16.99!) and cool atmosphere. Contrary to what the website says, they DO NOT TAKE CREDIT/DEBIT…take cash with you! Enjoy and as always, watch out for deer!

Service was slow at times but acceptable. For instance, had to ask for refill on water. Relish tray was smaller than I remember from other years. In addition, it only had 4 pickles for 5 ppl. Seems like an odd way to cut down. Tray was attractive and it’s cheese spread good. I had cup of French onion soup instead of salad. Others said salad & dressings very good. Soup came with saltine crackers. I didn’t care for that combo. Missed croutons although waitress told me it didn’t come with cheese or croutons. Soup itself was delicious. Queen size prime rib was perfect and good sized/​value. Baked potato stayed hot through out the meal. Even tho I took some meat home I ordered their Schaumtorte dessert. Omg it was good! Well worth the calories. Meringue was crisp & a great combo with strawberries & cream.

I agree w/​everything in the 1^st review on this rest. This place is a GEM! Tons of small town character, mostly friendly staff (the old grumpy bartender could use a happy pill or a zanex). Along w/​the fish fry being delicious, you must try the wednesday night all you can eat Broasted Chicken n Dumplings. This is a favorite for people from miles around! Its so affortable you almost feel guilty. You must also try an Old Fashion when you are here!
