Bob & Laura’s Supper Club

Night #2 of moving my grandma up to Wisconsin for the summer, we chose to eat out at Bob & Laura’s.
The salad bar is a huge factor in our decisions on where to go. I’m finding more and more often my grandparents don’t really wanna go anywhere without one.
We all ordered entrees and then sprinted over to make up our creative salads. Everything was great as far as the salad bar goes, I did try the corn & sausage soup, which I thought was quite mediocre.
My grandmother and I got steak, while my grandfather and uncle got the chicken. I personally ordered a tenderloin cooked medium and added crab and Cajun hollandaise sauce. The steak itself wasn’t very good, unusually chewy, in my opinion. I thought the hollandaise was kind of meh and was underwhelming due to the au jus mixing with it on the plate. The crab seemed alright, but my side of a twice-​baked potato was kind of a let-​down. It didn’t look like any twice baked that I’ve ever had; this was arranged as basically mashed potatoes with cheese on top. It was a little dry, too. My grandmother claimed to like her ribeye, but said it was overly fatty compared to what she has come to expect from a decent steak. We also found out later that although she ordered a 10oz, she was given and charged for the 18oz, no wonder why that thing seemed huge!
My grandfather and uncle said the chicken was just OK, nothing to write home about, and more importantly not as good as some other options in the area.
No issues with service, although we never got asked if we wanted anything but water to drink.
In sum, a great salad bar but in our opinion the food wasn’t much better than average.
If you’re a die-​hard steak and salad bar person, try Rene’s in Crivitz.

My favorite place to eat when I come back home to Wisc from AZ. They have the BEST salad bar ever. Food is terrific, esp the all you can eat boiled shrimp on Thurs nights. Family run and well cared for. Nadine is the great bartender. You will not be disappointed with your visit here.

Good salad bar. If you order the ribeye… order about 60% more meat than you really want to eat. I ordered the 12oz and only got about 4 or 5 ounces of edible meat after cutting away the fat and gristle. Ad bring a microwave to finish cooking your baked potato!

In my annual journey to the Michigan UP, I found this place at the recommendation of a farmstand vendor down the road on 141. Bob & Laura’s is a small but comfy dining place. We came on a Friday at dinnertime, when the lot was packed full with cars. People seeking a good fish fry come to Bob & Laura’s. Service was good and so was the food. We took a chance on «fried macaroni & cheese.» Much to our surprise it looked like tater-​tot sized nuggets. Then one bite and we were hooked on the breaded and deep-​fried pasta and cheese. I could almost feel my major arteries slowly sealing shut but I survived the ordeal and have to admit I liked it. In this part of Wisconsin, there really are not many nice dining places to choose from, but this is a good one. The décor and ambience gives you that down-​home feeling that the locals enjoy when they dine here.
