5 Supper Clubs Along Fall Drives with Prime Views

Imagine you’re cruising along with family on a sunny, crisp autumn day. Everyone’s hungry and that’s when you see it — the perfect spot to sit back, sip an Old Fashioned, cut into a juicy steak and enjoy a view of the fall colors at an iconic Wisconsin supper club.

Not only do these supper clubs have bluffs, hills and trails nearby with views of the vibrant fall foliage, but they also serve up Wisconsin supper club specialties perfect for sharing. So as you’re cruising along, be sure to stop and stay for a meal that can’t get more prime than at these five supper clubs. 

Arthur’s Supper Club – Spring Green

Along this drive, you and your crew will see colorful trees dappling the bluffs and hills of Wyoming Valley. And nearby is a supper club that’s been serving since 1966 — so they know what they’re doing. Arthur’s Supper Club offers juicy steaks, fresh seafood, an all-you-can-eat soup and salad bar and a prime rib buffet on the first Saturday of every month. Live music and Friday night fish frys set the scene for a one-of-a-kind Wisconsin fall experience.

Fox & Hounds Restaurant & Tavern – Hubertus 

After strolling through the wooded trails in Glacier Hills County Park, the rustic and rural supper club feel at The Fox & Hounds is ideal for a tasty rest stop. What started as a one-room cabin built in 1845 is now a popular restaurant serving all-you-can-eat fish and shrimp every Friday in addition to hearty fare every day of the week. Warm up with loved ones on cool fall nights next to the cozy fireplace with an Old Fashioned in hand and cheers to a lovely outing together.

Castle Hill Supper Club – Merrillan

Just northwest of the Black River State Forest in western Wisconsin is a hilltop farmhouse with mouthwatering dining and drink options. The Friday Grand Seafood Buffet at Castle Hill Supper Club will have your mouth watering with catfish, buttery cod, shrimp, clams, a Door County-style Fish Boil, a salad bar and (of course) a dessert table. Their special touch is that everything is beer-battered and served with a warm cup of chowder. You’re in for a well-deserved indulgent meal here after a family road trip or for a romantic night out.

Ishnala Supper Club – Lake Delton

One of Wisconsin’s most iconic supper clubs, Ishnala sits just outside Wisconsin Dells in the middle of Mirror Lake State Park, which lights up with color each autumn. Follow the winding scenic road through acres of meadow and forest before arriving at this gem on Mirror Lake.

Once inside (and with a stunning view of fall color against the crystal-clear water), you and your crew can start with a signature cocktail like the “Wiscollins,” made with local gin, or a classic Old Fashioned. With a menu full of seafood, steak and other specialties to choose from, you can fill up on tasty fare while spending quality time with your crew.

The River’s Edge – Marinette

After a day of exploring waterfalls and parks in Marinette County, follow the Menominee River to The River's Edge supper club for even more breathtaking views. Some customers arrive by boat and dock right at the property’s pier!

Start with a baked crab fondue or shrimp cocktail while enjoying craft cocktails together. For the main course, keep warm and full with a Lobster Pot or traditional German Wiener Schnitzel. And don’t forget to make a reservation for you and your crew, because seats fill up quickly at this Marinette County staple.
