Fin ‘n’ Feather

We went there last night on a Saturday night. Got there at 7pm. We asked the owner (hostess) as well as the bartender, what time they serve food until. Both told us 9:45/10pm. We had a couple of drinks in the bar and got up to go eat in the dining room at 8:55– CLOSED! WhAt restaurant stops serving food before 9pm on a Saturday night? We left and went to the Black Otter to eat, which is where we should have gone in the first place. As a local that lives only 10 miles from the Fin and Feather we thought we would try it out again, never will I make thAt mistake again.

They offer burgers with a gluten free bun. For someone w Celiac in NEWisconsin Ina visit, that is awesome. As for the burger, was made to medium, two slices of cheese and ice slab of bacon made it a filling meal. Potato wedges were okay, but three to three half stars for a good burger, excellent old fashion and a half star to four because they offer gluten free buns!

Food and service used to be good. The last time we went there the main dining area was closed. There was only about 25 in the dining area it took over 30 minutes to get the food. The steaks were cold fish tasted like it was in the refrigerator for weeks the perch was grey inside. The only reason we would ever go back is the Inlaws live in the town. There wait staff didn’t even take drink orders at the tables. What a let down!!!

I’ve been suffering this place for years, as it is close to where my folks live in neighboring Larsen, Wisco. They seem to like it. The bar seems like it’s always full. The cocktails are very very good.
I surmise they are famous for their buffet. I cannot understand why. The Salad division is the only part I can say much good about. Along with the usual suspects, you can find Wisco-​centric stuff like pickled Gizzards and Herring. Not bad. There are always a coupla-​three soups that all taste like they from a can or mix. The entrees somehow taste like they originated in the kitchens of Swanson.
On the bright side, I’ve had a piece Prime Rib here that was excellent. But that was once. I’ve also had the AYCE Fish-​Fry which was fine. That was once, too.
But the Buffet is almost inedible…
Service not as bad as some of the other Unilocalers say.
Caveat emptor…

Service is terrible it’s a shame because their food is delicious. They are losing a lot of money because you can’t get a waitress to even greet you much less get a drink… So far waited half an hour ready to go across the street

I’m not sure what was worse the food or the service. The server had the worst attitude I have ever experienced. She was so rude from the start, she ignored us and after repeatedly trying to get her attention, we had to walk over to her, to tell her we had been waiting 20 minutes to order food. To which she replied «well we switched waitress.» Now this something I have never heard, to which I replied, well did anyone want to let us know? I know the service industry can be tough, but I think it’s time to find a new job! The food was all around not good, greasy pizza, over cooked fish. To top off our experience, my husband went to wash his hands, when he witnessed a young man with a apron on, walk out of the bathroom without washing his hands! This place get 1 star for its view, other then that I advise you to try another place.

I went to this establishment under the assumption that this was a prize of the wolf river, this may have been a once great restaurant, but under its new ownership it seemed more like a soap opera than a restaurant. The owner, a older lady with grey hair only seemed interested in drinking her wine at the end of the bar and yelling at her bartenders, instead of showing them proper ways to do things. I ordered the buffet and for the price it was not even close to worth it. I think I would have been better off going to a KFC buffet for half the price, at least their management isn’t as bad; considering they both have dried out chicken and non-​edible instant potatoes, KFC would also be cleaner (which is weird because KFC’s are always dirty). I wouldn’t recommend this to a friend.

I was only here once. I like the location and scenery. I went here for the buffet but it wasn’t ready when I got there due to lack of customers. They were able to make it operational while I waited. In the end, the food was buffet-​style quality and nothing really stuck out. I’d consider going again though.

Went here last night (Fri), maybe the buffet was good in the past but it sucks now. paid $ 14.99 for instant potatoes with flavorless gravy really tiny shrimp and some fish options (all fried, 3 types). Sorry I expect more in a buffet than 6 total things.
The waitress became a total b**ch when my husband wanted to know what beer they had and she had no clue. Ever heard of a beer list or beer menu?
I had an actual meal here off the menu 2 years ago and it wasn’t bad– not awesome but edible. I only come here when other people insist. Would never come on my own

Amazing. They have a HUGE buffet with many types of chooses and options. The food is very good. it is laid out nice. They have a big bar that has window to the lake. The dining area is huge with massive windows that look at the lake. They also have a nice area for party’s and such. If you are coming from the lake they have docks.
Great place

Fun place to go dine. Sit and watch the boats go by while diniing. Excellent salad bar. Great service. Come by boat or car. Docks to pull up in if coming by boat to dine or have a little lunch.

We’ve been to the FnF many times, but needed a place for family after a recent funeral. The FnF staff made the arrangements go very easily, and the service and food was just great.

I LOVE awesome customer service and the staff definitely delivered awesome customer service! Very friendly and courteous. It was very easy to make reservations. Upon informing the staff that I don’t eat meat or fried food (which is the majority of the buffet items on the boat) they quickly offered to make special arrangements for me. They prepared a special meal and boarded it on the boat for our dinner cruise!!!
The cruise was really cool and made for a nice relaxing evening out. Highly recommend checking it out. Thanks for a great evening.

Best buffet in the Valley and great brunches on Sunday and holidays. Holiday brunch reservations are a must. The location on the Wolf River makes for great viewing. Summer cruises and dinner on the ‘Fin’s river boat are a nice diversion although the food’s usually a scaled down version of the buffet. They also offer cruises for weddings, business outings and special occasions.

This is a true Wisconsin institution. I used to come here when I was a little girl with my family as we boated up and down the Wolf River. It was fun to revisit this past Saturday for a wedding.
The bar staff was attentive as we waited for the reception to start. Tv’s in every corner played the Badger game. They even brought out an additional tv when one was not working. And while they had to dig deep to find my husband a Johnny Walker Black Label my Old Fashion was quickly served with cherries on top — and only $ 3.75. And when in Wisconsin, you ought to have an Old Fashion.
The wedding reception was buffet style and the broasted chicken and baked fish were yummy. Someone told me the chicken tenders were like chicken jerkey but everything I tasted was great. I know the bride requested a kid friendly menu and my kids didn’t complain. There was Kraft Mac and Cheese and corn dogs as well.
Now this isn’t a fine dining experience by any means. But for what it is, it is wonderful.
And I would be remiss if I failed to mention the beautiful room. We were on the second floor in a hall that comfortably sat 100 – 150 people. Some tables had to come up to make room for the dance floor. The room itself is very nice with pine wood panelling but the wrap around windows over looking the river and Winneconne bridge are what make it special. The Bride was able to get in the night before and decorate the room herself which was nice for a budget minded wedding.
My only complaint is they started packing up chairs and tables at 10:15pm. The wedding invite said the end time was 10:30 so I am not sure if there was some sort of arrangement made by the Bride but it did seem a bit abrupt to be rapidly kicked out in the 15 minute time frame. Most of us had kids with us including the Bride so it worked out just as well and we had a great time.

I was told that they have an awesome karaōke night, but I guess that’s just on Mondays.
My colleagues and I rented a house in Winneconne for EAA and went to FNF last nite. Upon entry, one can get lost because there are so many turns. There’s the main bar, a restaurant area, and an upstairs for private parties. FNF is on a lake which is cool.
I’m going to give this place 3 stars. The service was prompt and friendly. The prices are reasonable. However, I wasn’t sold on the salmon. A bit too much dill and not enough flavor.
