I dine here frequently, and have tried just about everything on the menu. Â The Prime Rib is the best in town. Lunches and dinners include a huge soup and salad bar, so you can create your own masterpiece!
They have an extensive wine list, along with live weekend entertainment in the bar during the winter months.
Rarely there is an issue with the doneness of my steaks, but they are always available and happy to make it right.
My top recommendations would be the Big, Crispy Fish Sandwich for lunch, and either the Prime Rib or Pecan Crusted Walleye for dinner. Â You will NOT leave hungry!
Repeat customer. Went for the Sunday Brunch today (Sun 9am-1:30pm). Good food, nice variety, pleasing presentation. They serve lunch and dinner. The dinner menu is not to be missed. The atmoshpere is visually interesting and adds to the rustic, yet classy, dining experience. No restaurant is without its occasional errors as other reviewers have pointed out, but I have always had a consistently pleasant experience here. If you are from out-of-town, you really need to check this place out.
Review Source:The food is normally pretty tasty. Â We don't buy steaks here. Â The free lunch with salad bar purchase is a great deal. Â The lunch portion was large enough for 2 meals. Â The service is good. Â Salad bar is OK but they should get something other than iceberg, or at put in a mixture.
Review Source:Three stars for being a place to eat warm food while seated. Â On those points they performed well, but the food wasn't anything to write home about (or return for). We went for the Sunday buffet, very popular, yet the lines were not long. Â They had things like scrambled eggs, mini waffles, french toast sticks, mashed potatoes, chicken, a carving station, an omelet station, and a desert table. The only thing even remotely homemade was at the omelet bar, but it had no flavor. Â How about some salt and pepper while you're making it? Â The desert table was fun, 3 flavors of canned pudding, strawberry shortcake, chocolate cake, cheesecake,and more. Again, nothing was homemade or remotely special. Â But, it was warm, and all you can eat.
Review Source:Kodiak Jack's is not a bad restaurant in general, except for the fact that they screwed up my T-Bone steak three times and ended up overcharging me for the order.
Foodwise, they have fairly good burgers and fairly good deal on the salad bar. After all, the salad and soup bar are plentiful and all you can eat.
However, my biggest gripe is definitely about the steaks. My boyfriend and I went there last night  and we ordered two t-bone steaks. What happened was that both our steaks were under-cooked. He ordered a medium steak and it came out medium rare while I ordered a medium rare steak that came out rare. The two times I sent it back, it was still rare and by the third time, it became something like medium well. After that, our waitress told us that she would take out the charge for the steak in the order, however, she ended up charging us $9.00 for the salad bar when all I had were two soups. Talk about awful service!
Under normal circumstances, I'd give the place 3 stars and I normally do not dock ratings due to rude service, but that incident makes me hesitant to come back since I can't justify the quality of the food to make up for the service, especially because it is a moderately priced place.
Not bad as long as you are not expecting great.
We have eaten here a few times with family as it is a mid-point between locations. I would not really consider ordering a steak (or seafood except for a fish fry) from here. The food is OK - nothing really great. Prices seem high to me based on the quality of the food. More like a nice Greek family restaurant in Milwaukee. But they have a nice salad & soup bar that is included with most dinners. They seem to go for portion size over quality. Sandwiches are good. The food is usually well cooked.
Can be loud (sometimes they have live music) and the vibe is kind of like the Greek Family restaurant version of a "northern hunter lodge." Service has always been very friendly and prompt.
Wow. Â How was this place the talk of Oshkosh?
From the outside (and the name) I thought I would be eating on linen table cloths - and sipping great wine.
I was here on a Tuesday night at around 7:30 - and if felt more like a Vegas buffet at 4 AM. Â Gaudy and way too much to look at. Â The wine lists was approachable and had many different price points. Â The food was salty - but cooked well, and the steak was tender. Â To Carolyn's point, the steaks weren't cooked to how we ordered. Â My reco would be to ask for it rare, and send it back if you need it more well done.
All in all, would I drop $20 on prime rib...no. Â I'd rather go to The Roxie and hang out with all the blue hairs - at least the steak would be good.
A friend recommended Kodiak Jack's and it seemed to meet the needs of our rather large group of picky eaters. Â I expected a steak joint with a backwoods flavor. Â It certainly had backwoods flavor, and they did serve steak. Â That's about all the praise I can give this place.
The steak was an incredibly cheap cut, and not cooked according to the way everyone ordered it. Â My "medium" steak was actually well done. Â The salad was a bowl of iceberg lettuce with a few veggies mixed in for good measure. Â Not at all worth the price.
