Stopped here on a whim during a road trip. Was greeted immediately by the owner (Danny) with a smile. Food was amazing (I got the Fish on a Bun), great atmosphere, and great service (Julia was our waitress). Definitely will stop back next time we are in the area!

We had such a nice time. I bought a friend dinner on his birthday. He had beef wellington and I had shrimp in butter sauce. I'm unable to eat anything with citric acid or vinegar so it's challenging for me to eat out. The staff was very accommodating. We met the chef and my meal was perfect. My guest had beef wellington and it was perfection. Our tasebuds were overjoyed. It's expensive to eat out but this meal was worth it. Simpsons is a great asset for the Waupaca community.

Beautiful, rustic ambiance. Friendly servers. Food was ok. Steak was tender, but bland. Shrimp was greasy, bland, and slightly overcooked. Pretty sure they gave me crumbled feta instead of blue cheese for my salad. Price point was higher than most for quality and quantity.

Shannon Alberts

Drinks and dinner were amazing. Alicia was our server and John was our bartender. Both were top notch! Found ourselves unexpectedly in Waupaca and it was recommended by the Wisconsin Supper Club. Glad we had dinner there!

Really cool old time-y supper club with fantastic food. We stop by just about every time we're in Waupaca. Reasonably priced and always good.

I went this restaurant tonight with my family. Server was nice and provided good service. Price was somewhat reasonable for the quality of food. My 'Fisherman's Bonanza' was great! Most of my family enjoyed their food except for my son. He said that his Italian beef sandwich was too salty. It became soggy in a short period of time so he wasted most of his food. Torte was delicious. $6 per piece wasn't bad at all. I will revisit here when I come back to Wisconsin again.

The gentleman i spoke to was so nice and helpful. It was a special circumstance and he was able to get us a more private area. The servers were perfect and the food, fish and shrimp, was delicious!! We will be back.
