Sobie's Restaurant

Nice cozy spot in downtown Oconomowoc. They do take reservations and are encouraged though if you're open to a spot at the bar for one or two people that generally seems open. They have a good variety of foods - seafood down to mac and cheese and sandwiches as well as poutines. I got the mac and cheese last time and was very pleasantly surprised at how rich and creamy it was - also added shrimp which was a generous portion and well cooked. Really friendly servers as well.

We thoroughly enjoyed Sobie's last night for dinner. We started with a local Oconomowoc beer and a bourbon old fashioned- both good. For appetizer, it was happy hour so fried cheese curds were 1/2 off. The mustard dill dipping sauce was tasty- even better when we added extra Dijon to it. The curds were plump w cheese, yum- not overly bready nor overly fried. Our dinners were duck poutine, and a fried chicken combo. I appreciated that one could order all dark meat, all white meat, or mixed. I opted for all dark meat. Good thing my sister helped me; it was 2 thighs and 2 legs. Chicken and French Fries were perfectly cooked and delicious. Sister enjoyed her poutine too. Not the healthiest meal but we were on vacation, and that's what we ordered. We were seated in a booth across from the bar. We didn't realize the restaurant was filling up until we were leaving. It wasn't too loud, which was nice. Definitely recommended!

The inside of the restaurant looks really cool, it reminds me of a 1920s speak easy, even down to the music being played. However overall I thought the experience was okay, I'm not sure we will be giving it another try. The food was decent overall, the Ruben I ordered was fine - the fries were a highlight for me, those were delicious. The drinks on the fall menu sounded good in theory but didn't quite make the mark. The flavor profiles that they tried to combine sounded better than they were. The s'mores old fashion we had - chocolate flavors + old fashion vibes didn't quite work, and the maple margarita was just very sweet, nothing else about it was different from the average margarita. Service got better as the time went by, I think there was some miscommunication because our server walked away from us in the middle of taking our order. I'm going to assume they thought we needed more time to review the menu, but in actuality we wanted their opinion on narrowing down the options in front of us.

The cherry lime margarita didn't really taste like a margarita - just a basic fruity drink. But the Reuben balls and Quack poutine were definite winners! Service was great. Atmosphere was pleasant. We'd eagerly eat here again when passing through.

One of the best restaurants in Oconomowoc. Scratch kitchen. Comfort food type place. Broasted chicken, duck poutine and short rib are all lovely. Underrated star? The butter burger. Seriously...try that thing. I'm slightly a burger snob and this is one of the best in Milwaukee. Unfortunately the Halibut was forced off their menu. If it's ever back, don't even consider anything else. HoF GOAT type item. Went here for brunch recently. Wife and friend thought it was cute bc each coffee mug was unique. Personally I wasn't wowed but breakfast food is for birds anyways.

Very cool find, food was delicious and had some higher end offerings but also middle of the road menu items for everyone. Didn't break the bank. Great service, cool vibe. Local beer. Would go back.

My dad and I had a great time at Sobie's! Food was great but be ready for a little bit of a wait. I really enjoyed the poutine and got it with no chives. My dad was a little thrown off by his sandwich not having a top layer of bread, but ended up liking it better that way! He upgraded to the sweet potato fries which were good but heavily salted. Already looking forward to going back though!

Made a reservation and came here for brunch for father's bday with toddlers in tow. Between the 8 of us, we ordered a variety of different meals off the brunch and lunch menus. Simply Incredible food. Every meal we received was exceptional. The server was delightful and it was a beautiful restaurant. We had such a lovely time.

Went on a girls trip to ocon and we were able to make same day reservations for a much anticipated dinner. They had fun cocktails and a good beer menu. Our server was a little aloof, but seemed nice enough. The food was delicious, I would definitely recommend the steak fries. They had a decent amount of vegetarian options. I really liked that although they are known for being a high end restaurant, there menu had a lot of affordable meals.

The fish fry was just not good. I should have listened to the other low reviews. The baked cod was dry, as was the coleslaw. And while I appreciate not being hounded by a server, she didn't even stop by once during our meal. I didn't even get a refill on my Diet Coke. When she came to collect our plates and get our check, and she asked how everything was, I told her mine was dry and she said she wished I'd told her earlier because she could have done something about it. We did not receive any discount on our meal or anything, which is what I would have expected. There was nothing wrong with my mom's dish. I don't think we will be going back for a really long time.
