Butler Inn of Pewaukee

Ok. It's been a few years for me. My new bride has never been here before so we will see how this long overdue visit goes. It's the first Saturday night in January 2025. The parking lot is packed full. I take that as a good sign. We had reservations for 7. Arrived early just to enjoy a cocktail or two. Cocktails great lounge singer a surprise Neal Diamond look alike singing all the classics from the 70's. Perfect way to start a relaxing evening Seated appropriately timely, from the outside you would not think this place is this spacious. Tables have spacious room around them. It's so nice not to be shoehorned in like sardines. Our waitress Kelly "aka shortly " inside joke bright pleasant energetic. Our food choices for this Saturday night are from the nightly specials. I will enjoy the chicken and ribs my wife the shrimp and ribs. Let's see how our choices are when brought table side?? First thing up fresh warm bread start off the meal followed by your choice of soup or salad. We opted for soup chicken rice and French onion which had an up charge. Well the French onion soup looked more appealing than its flavor profile delivered. The chicken soup fresh and homemade texture with fresh veggies full of texture and chicken was tender and plenty. The sauce on the ribs delicious The ribs texture tender fall off the bone amazingly delicious The shrimp bread butterfly shrimp toasted perfect. The chicken tender flavorful could have been a little warmer. It was fully cooked but the temperature was warm not oven hot. The meal as a whole delicious well worth it. Dessert an official made for two size brandy Alexander. And ohhh it's so yummy

We celebrated a birthday with friends and she chose Butler Inn for her special meal. Our 5:30 reservation found the place empty but not for long. The Saganaki was tasty as an appetizer but I thought it was a bit high priced although it was a large serving for 3. Our steaks and Ribeye were cooked perfectly and the unusual choice of hash browns was also a good option. Every dish came with crispy onions, soup or salad and side dish choice also. A slice of cheesecake for dessert ended a good meal on a high note. It seemed that there was one server and one busser so when it got busy they were hard to call over, but seemed to get the job done in the end. We were told about the 3.5% credit card fee added to the bill so I suggest you pay with cash since the bill is not small so the fee isn't either. With tax and tip we hit $300 for three women. Although the evening was warm they have closed off the outdoor seating for the season. Too bad as it seems a bit early for that. But the inside atmosphere is nice and worth a visit. Plenty of free parking and an inside lift with weight limitations check ahead if you need accessibility.

6 of us went to dinner for my friends birthday. Our server was very nice but forgetful on a few of our drinks. I ordered an espresso martini and it was absolutely disgusting, borderline carbonated. We also got to French onion soup which had a very weird taste and just also didn't impress me at all. The main meals were all pretty good. My husband had the ribs and shrimp and I ordered the steak sandwich. My steak was cooked perfectly and the fries were nice and fresh. The desserts were also pretty good. We tried this place but I don't think we will be going back based on how far away we had to drive and besides the main meals, it did not leave much of an impression.

Fabulous meal at Butler Inn. Filet was melt-in-your-mouth tender. When I asked for an extra dirty martini, they delivered. Worth saving up for sure.

Overall this was a very nice treat! First time coming to this super club and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The filet was cooked perfectly, and the fish was extremely flavorful and delicate. Service was very nice, friendly, and on top of their A game. They were constantly coming around refilling waters, checking on our needs, etc. the inside feels fairly upscale. The actually dining area felt just a bit cramped and dated, but the food was what made the experience well worth it. Would absolutely come again!

Tucked back off the main road this restaurant is a well-known steak house in the area. The decor reminds me of a traditional supper club and the space is open and inviting. That being said, the openness creates a very loud environment when it is busy. In addition, there is a piano and they do being in a piano player on weekend nights. Our waitress was fantastic. She was so happy, I swear the smile never left her face and VERY attentive to our needs. You could tell this was a person who loved to talk to talk and loved her job!We ordered the Saganaki, flaming cheese, and WOW. DO NOT miss this appetizer. If you love cheese it is worth every penny of the $18 price tag. The french onion soup was very good as well. The steak was just okay for me, this being said I have had a lot of steaks and this one just fell a bit short.

We all enjoyed the Butler Inn. First time for us, our Friends many times and highly recommend. Started with Cocktails then off to our cozy private corner table. Our Waitress so nice and gave us lots of history regarding the Butler Inn. It was a Perfect Time, excellent CUISINE and Ambiance. We have shared our experiences with Family.Mothers Day Brunch coming up, would love to go!Thank You All for a Perfect Saturday. Keep on. Beautiful Supper Club.

Prices have skyrocketed, hours of business are becoming increasingly short and they charge 3% for credit card transactions

Great food. Service is a circus. Had a 5:30 reservation for four and didn't get seated for an hour and a half (suspect they double booked their tables). The bar was packed three deep with one bartender getting drinks for the restaurant and the other getting seconds for their friends at the end of the bar while the rest of the people haven't had their first drink.

First time at the Butler Inn for a special occasion. It was nice. Made reservations, was able to get a drink at the bar beforehand. Our waiter was fantastic, attentive and fun. The flaming cheese is so good. We had the French onion soup, steaks and ribs. The entire dinner was lovely. The only improvement is to not rush the food out. We weren't even done with our soup and the main dishes were on our table.
