Chances

Bar service AWESOME. Restaurant food delicious! Pork tenderloin ohhh yah yummy !!!!! Beef tenderloin tips noodles and sauce good I should say a little peppery. But the sand point Pinot Noir perfect wine to supplement the meal with. Service quick efficient. Delicious food, awesome experience, price point perfect. Ohhh yaaaaaaaa great place the ambience is that of a supper club restaurant, great food, great service. What more could you ask for. Ohhh if you are wondering yes the cheese and cracker supper club appetizers are still delivered to the table before you even order your food and drinks. Bon appétit.

Nice local place with great warm crowd. Fish was very good along with salad and mixed drinks. The prime rib was marginal so plan to go with ribs on next visit or steak special. Would like a wine list as the small glass of wine was silly. Service was good as she clearly was a veteran chances employee. Look forward to next visit.

Best ribs i have tasted in Wisconsin. Meat falls off the bone. Great sauce! Also have great steaks and an excellent fish fry on fridays. Historic landmark building and great staff. They are also open for lunch. Highly recommend Chances for a great meal! Only about 2 miles from downtown Waterford, Wisconsin in case you don't know where Rochester is.

The waitress was amazing- fast, attentive and very friendly. The food was good, not the best. I picked Reuben Rolls for an appetizer. They were pretty one-note. All I could taste was cheese. Not sauerkraut, not even the corned beef. The thousand island dressing helps to add a little tang, but these were a little disappointing. For dinner I ordered the baked cod. The flavor was really good but the fish was juuuust on the edge of overcooked. Lemon and drawn butter helped, but without those additions it would have been too dry. I liked the supper club feel of the place. I really miss that. But I would have preferred a small relish tray versus cheese and crackers. Those were a great pre-dinner snack, but it's easy to quickly fill up on the crackers.I'd like to say I'll be back to try out more menu options, but the fact that they charge a 3% credit card fee is a real turn-off.

Food was great, service was also excellent and they accommodated our group in short notice.

Food was good and waitress was great! She also told us the history of the building which is very interesting.

We dined at Chances on a Saturday night in March 2024. . Lots of local townspeople having a good time in bar area. I am all for that type of atmosphere. However, if your face is not familiar, the bartenders tend to ignore you. There were two mature guys on duty behind the bar and if you did not specifically call out or gesture for a cocktail, they simply stood there. Grumpy as all get out. Two delightful elderly females (not familiar faces) tried to get a bartender's attention to ask about the gambling games in the room, but were very disrespectfully ignored. We'll write this off as both fellas having a bad night. Dining room was about half full. Got seated at a very small table for two against the wall...maybe a former window table, but no window anymore. Very cramped with all the extra stuff already on the table. Didn't want to be a pain in the ***, so we didn't request a nicer table. Good news...ribs and shrimp combo and prime rib special were delicious. Spinach salad and onion strings also very tasty. Extremely busy waitress took care of us skillfully, attentively, and with the most pleasant demeanor. So our occasional date night had a happy ending following a not so great start.

Great place ,especially the Friday Fish Fry..Best old fashions ,in Wisconsin. Make reservations on a Friday or Saturday. Love this place.Going there tonight.Can't wait.

We had reservations last weekend and got our table right away. It was in the back corner though and the waitresses sat at table next to us folding napkins. The tablecloth has a cheap plastic covering that really hurts any ambiance. We were told no breadsticks anymore but they can bring ritz crackers and no bread or rolls! I had a steak that was good . The salad was uninspiring-wilted lettuce with barely any vegies. We enjoy wine with a nice dinner but don't plan to drink wine here, it was terrible. When we asked for wine list we we were told there was not one, just red or white. Also the busboy and waitress circled our table every couple minutes wanting to clear, it made us so anxious. I felt rushed. I will not be going back which is too bad as the food has been decent in the past.
