My family and I have been going here 3/2/2012

My family and I have been going here for close to 30 years. The steaks are probably the best for the money that I have ever had. The service sometimes leaves something to be desired. I would rate them 4 stars but everyone else in my family would give five without question. more

Horrible Service! 3/1/2011

I will never return. We went to dinner on a Thursday, it was not busy and there was no reason for the way that we were treated. The waitress messed up our order, never returned to check if there was anything else we needed, and we never got our drink orders. I would defiantly not recommend this restaurant! more

Don't Bother if You Believe in Reservations 12/19/2009

Service begins upon entering a restaurant. We were ignored at the bar and waited an hour beyond our reservation time to be seated. They offered no apologies, only excuses. Being treated as though we are of no consequence creates an environment that made our dinning experience less than enjoyable. Our table was ready as soon as I told them we were leaving. It will be a long time before we return. Pros: Good food Cons: Terrible Reservation Service more

USE TO BE A GREAT STEAKHOUSE! 7/8/2009

The steak use to be fab...\r Now the food, atmosphere and service has declined.\r They no longer know how to cook a steak. I usually order it Rare to MR and get it Medium to Med well.\r Make a reservation and wait for an hour later to sit.\r Always over book. The Butler Inn business has gone done since I first started there. \r Way to expensive for the lousy food you get!!\r Just my thoughts, be your own judge! more

don't waste your time or money 5/24/2009

We wnet on a not very busy friday. we were told there was a five minute wait while they were bussing tables. We waited over 25 minutes and could see several empty tables from the bar. Bartending service was poor. I sat there with an empty glass almost ten minutes while the bartenders talked amongst themselves. They seemed inconvienced by having to pour me another beer. When we were finally seated i ordered the perch and clam chowder. I took 2 bites of the clam chowder and pushed it away. It had an awful fishy taste, not how chowder is supposed to taste. The fish was pretty average and not very hot when served. If we did not have a gift certificate we would not have eaten here, but we will definitely not be returning. Cons: service, food, very loud more

What's the definition of Reservation? 1/15/2009

Made reservations for New Year's Eve. Big mistake. I'm not sure why they take reservations. We were told our table would be ready in 20 min. The place was a zoo. The hostess was screaming into her microphone to announce names. It was so crowded that I'm sure it was in violation of fire codes. Had I known they were 2 hours off schedule by their 6 o'clock reservation, we would have left. I understand that overbooking is a common practice for this restaurant. I think the management needs to look up the definition of ""RESERVATION"" . Although the food was good, the steak ""great"", I will never go back and never recommend this place to anyone. We have a lot of good places to eat in the surrounding area. In todays economy I would rather spend my money at a restaurant that has better customer service. more

Amazing food, prompt service, needs updated atmosphere. Reservations recommended. 5/14/2008

My family went here for an anniversary. The food is fantastic, perfectly cooked and seasoned, decorated plates, friendly staff. Didn't pick up dirty dishes from plate for quite a while. Had NY Strip. MMmmmm I'm still drooling. be sure to try the Saganaki flaming cheese for an appetizer. more

Restaurant 9/26/2007

Our friends and us went here for my birthday this year. The food was fabulous but it was a bit crowded for me. The food made up for it in the end. We'll probably go again. more

Best damn prime rib in all of wisconsin! 8/6/2007

This is the place to go if you know and love steak. They have the best damn prime rib around. Rumor has it this steak is slow cooked starting at about 2am and by the time it hits your plate...oh man, to die for!! The best part about it? For only 2 dollars more it's ALL YOU CAN EAT!!! What can be better I ask you? Nothing short of a free trip to Vegas. Five stars, two thumbs up. Well done! Pros: Everything Cons: Sometimes a good steak requires a small wait.... more

Best Fish Fry 4/16/2007

The Butler Inn has the best fish fry in the lake county area. The breaded cod is a great buy for the amount of food you get. The baked cod is a huge piece, large enough for two people, or one hungry teenager. more

Nice small restaurant 4/11/2007

Good service and great food are hallmarks here. I highly recommend the traditional Friday night fish fry, but come early to get a table. This restaurant will fill up quickly. more

The specials are always a treat. Good customer service. 11/20/2006

Great place to get together with friends for a good night out. We usually start with margaritas, have dinner (the friday fish fry is highly recomended) then head to the bar for a few more coctails and conversation. Pros: Service, ambience, steak is amazing. Cons: Have had trouble parking a few times. more

Fantastic all around! 6/28/2006

I recently dined at the Butler Inn of Pewaukee and I must say, it's definitely a 5-star establishment. My fiancee and I sat out on the patio (in our own private gazebo) and our experience was memorable. We started our dinner with the Saganaki and Calamari, and I must say, they are both excellent additions to the menu. Of course, we continued with the Louie's 5-star filet, accompanied by a succulent lobster tail, and yet again, we were impressed by the flavor and quality of the dishes. Additionally, they offer an affordable reserve wine list to accompany the diverse selections on the menu. The service was impeccable- as always, I was and continue to be impressed by the Butler Inn. It's by far my favorite place in Wisconsin!!!! Pros: Food, service, ambiance Cons: Long wait if you don't make a reservation more

Great Steaks and Fish Frys!!!! 5/3/2006

We eat at the Butler Inn frequently and have always had exceptional service and outstanding food. ""Louie's Signature Filet"" is great and so are the fish frys. The specials during the week are also wonderful. The restaurant is all non-smoking on the week-ends which is a plus. The ""Saganaki"" or flaming Greek cheese is a real treat and always served with a flourish. Their soups and clam chowder are exceptional. The food is consistently high quality. We have taken many friends and family members there in both small and large groups and we have never been disappointed Pros: Steaks, Fish Frys, Soups more
