"Buckatabon Tavern & Supper Club is quintessentially Wisconsin and still--so amazing.It's the perfect blend of regional cuisine, north woods inspired decor, and a comfortable coziness that puts this diner immediately at ease. I stopped by most recently for a date night. I ordered the meat raffle Manhattan because it's one of the better Manhattans to be had in the Milwaukee metro, in my humble Manhattan swilling opinion. It's just the right blend of vermouth and local bourbon--plus they don't over do it with bitters. And, hey... the meat stick garnish is an interesting (and tasty!) touch.For our starter, did we order the deviled eggs?We sure did. They have the best deviled eggs on the menu that vary and are never quite the same as the last time you ordered them and yet always equally delicious.For my main, I got the wild mushroom stroganoff. It was my first time ordering this dish and will by no means be my last. It was the perfect blend of savory mushrooms, a creamy sour cream based sauce, noodles, and a slight crispiness from a sprinkling of panko--it was a delight. We decided to take a couple of pieces of cake to take home to enjoy while watching an episode of the Great British Baking Show. Because, that show is just better if you have your own sweetness to enjoy while watching them bake theirs. And, thankfully, Buckatabon served us dessert that tasted every bit as good as anything on the show looked.Get to it!"
"Lots of parking in the back area. Loved the vibes and the patio area was perfect for summer. I was kind of surprised the reviews aren't that great. We started off with the burrata. Light but tasty appetizer to start off with. My boyfriend got the burger that came with fries. Loved the fries! Super crunch, perfectly salted. Very large portions. I opted for the salmon. The brussel sprouts were plain by themselves but this dish with the bacon bits and salmon made it a perfect bite every time. I loved the lobster cream on the bottom.As far as service was, we liked our waiter. She was attentive. We thought it was a bit slow. It did get annoying at some point eating out on the patio because of the bugs. I would either recommend they put out some citronella or those bug zappers for people to enjoy the outdoor dining experience.Overall, I'd return!"

We went with some friends on a Sunday night for dinner and were pleasantly surprised how good it was. To be honest some people had mentioned they had a bad experience here so we were a bit nervous to bring our friends here but the service was great and the food was wonderful.We all had an old fashion to start with and each of us ordered a different flavor, they have 5 or 6 different kinds of old fashions. All really great flavor.We order the deviled eggs and the maple and bacon Brussels sprouts as appetizers and they were awesome. I totally forgot to take pictures of them.I had the pecan crusted trout with a small Cesar salad as my main course and it was a lot of food and all very tasty.We finished with a brandy Alexander ice cream drink that my wife and I split. Great flavor and hadn't had one in years.Our waiter was very nice and super attentive.

Great service, great food, cool building! Portions are huge! I went home with leftovers and split my meal. The desserts were delicious! My group got the tiramisu and the chocolate mousse cake! I would definitely go here again!
