Week 6 Review: Red's Supper Club, Cuba City, WI
One of my father's favorite places to go out to eat (when he was forced!) was to go to Red's Supper Club. Since we're back in the area now, I wanted to be sure we did a review for their fish as I had eaten their fish dinner a long, long time ago and remember it being good.
I had made reservations for our group of 6, but because we had arrived around 6:30 pm, we really wouldn't have needed to have a reservation. Once we were settled in to our table, we were welcomed to large relish tray, bread basket, and dressings on our table. Our server came shortly after and took our drink order and notified us of the Friday night special.
The special for the night was the AYCE seafood buffet, which came with side salad. On the buffet was: roasted potatoes, fried cod, broiled cod, pike, frog legs, crab cakes, shrimp/veggie kabobs, and steamed veggies. All of this was for $15.99.
About half of our group got the seafood buffet, and I was of course excited to have a little variation on the typical 'fish fry'. Our side salads came out shortly after we ordered, and I wasn't a big fan of the french dressing on the table.
Buffet time! For my first round of the buffet I got the roasted potatoes, frog legs, fried cod, broiled cod,pike fish and crab cakes. The fried cod had little to no taste with its breading, and was a little tough; the broiled cod was a little dry, and I really didn't care for the crab cakes. The frog legs were....interesting, but not terrible. The pike wasn't bad, but didn't have much flavor to it either. The tartar sauce was exactly my favorite type of tartar sauce, but it still didn't make the fish taste much better. Now you're probably thinking that I'm going to end my review here, but like I said before, this is a buffet so there are 2nd chances!
I went up for my second round, and they had just put out fresh fish. The broiled cod was outstanding this time! Had great flavor and was not dry at all. We also were able to try the shrimp kabobs which were also made to perfection! I loooove shrimp, so this was a welcomed addition to my fish fry challenge.
Our server had stopped by our table periodically to check on us and refill our drinks, but the entertainment of the night came when she cleaned off our table and accidentally spilled the whole stack of plates down my back. It really wasn't as bad as it sounds, as I didn't get completely covered in food but it did hit me pretty hard in the shoulder.
After the repeated apologizes from the waitress, we shared a grasshopper. It was a great way to end the meal.

Overall comments/rating: the broiled fish, tartar sauce, and shrimp kabobs were wonderful and really helped bring the entire dinner up a rating. And it was nice that we got to go up again to try more fish as the second time around was a lot better. The salad was mediocre, the potatoes really had a stew flavor to them that I didn't really care for, and our service was fine, but not excellent. For what you all received, the price of $15.99 seemed a bit high, but since it was a seafood buffet, I wasn't surprised, and I left pretty full.
This fish fry was hard to come to a conclusion on the rating as it was a buffet that had more than just fish. I won't lie, as the shrimp really did help make the experience better, but in the end I've given Red's Supper Club a 7 out of 10 as the fish (and tartar sauce) was excellent!
If you're looking for a classic supper club experience, Red's Supper Club is definitely a place to check out.
