As an old fan of Wentker's, I have to say I'm concerned and disappointed. It would be great if you had a website. We can't seem to figure out when the restaurant is open. This app, Yelp isn't helping you. Since you don't have a website, people will tend to look at these photos. Your restaurant looks dirty, dingy, dim and outdated. I'm not sure that was their intent; I think they are just really bad photographers. Same for the food photos. I think they were taking photos of food they enjoyed but the effect was far from pleasing. Please do the restaurant a favor and post a website!

Went there for our anniversary for the first time and it was wonderful. I had the prime rib and my wife had the scallops. Both were perfectly cooked. Wait staff was friendly and attentive and the building is absolutely gorgeous!

An unusual and memorable dining experience. Apparently the building is haunted. The hearts of the staff are in the right place!

Stopped in last night after a wagon ride around Burlington. A great tasting Bloody Mary was just what I needed to warm up! The bar itself has sooo much history and is very welcoming! Shannon is a great bartender who is happy to share cool stories about the bar and the surrounding area! I didn't grab food this time but I have had several of their apps and a few of their main courses and all of them so far have been full of flavor!

I am officially upgrading my rating. To be fair, this establishment has been under new management since my last review their chef is four-star, and they have an extensive variety in their menu, and their Friday Fish Fry is in the top three for the area. The bartenders are very professional, and their drink selection has increased. I highly recommend this establishment if you're in the area. Kudos to you BJ Wenkers!

We used to love this place! That being said every app we tried to order was gone we did settle on a French onion soup which was completely tasteless. Nice people but doesn't make up for the length of the wait for food we never got. When we left I joked the I could have made the food at home and drove it 25 miles to serve us. We won't be back sorry you lost our business. Btw, I asked for our check and the charged us for a Caesar salad for a side salad that literally had 8 pieces of lettuce and ranch dressing that tasted like mayo. I'm done paying for crap. Wow from good to crap in less then a year great work!

We went on a night where they were short staffed. They told us immediately that it will take a very long time, and we understood.They were very accomadating.The food itself was lovely!Appetizers were OK, but the main dish was perfect. They even accommodated some of our requests.All in all, lovely restaurant with lovely people, good food and drinks.

Since my preliminary review, I've eaten here. I don't recommend their food. That's putting it mildly. But do go for the atmosphere and drinks. It's such a fantastic structure.

I'm giving it one star for simply being the most unusual dining experience I've had... possibly ever. Restaurant opened at 4p.. came in at 4:20 and stood at host desk for 10 min waiting to see a living soul. A cook? who wandered out said to sit anywhere. Ordered a cocktail which was made completely wrong. Bartender seemed surprised at what was supposed to be in the drink... even though it's in their own description. Salads were a handful of shredded iceberg with 2 chunks of tomato and 2 slices of cucumber.. salad dressings were wrong. Radio station finally turned on was blasting commercials! Come on guys.. this is supposed to be a good place.. the building is so cool, but terrible everything else. Can also hear kitchen's music competing with the dining room music/ commercials. Shrimp scampi over pasta... watery tasteless yuck. I'm so disappointed.
