Packing House: Opened nearly 50 years ago, the Packing House is still family owned. The restaurant specializes in steak, but also serves BBQ and seafood. My family went there for dinner to celebrate my brother’s college graduation back in 2017 (I’m a little late posting this review). I can’t recall the cut of steak I ordered, but it was delicious. The crispy onion straws it came with were sort of an odd pairing in my opinion, but they were surprisingly good. Doughboy approved Doughboy_Food_Reviews

Finding the host station was rather difficult and we had to ask 2 different people to get seated. I ordered the beef wellington, excited for it since it is not often I get to indulge. It is required to be cooked medium, which I knew due to how it's cooked when I normally like medium rare but for a wellington, I made an exception. It came out on the well side of medium well and needed salt. Also where it stated in the description on the menu (and with the preparation of wellingtons) as a tenderloin wrapped in puff pastry, it simply had a cap placed on top. Definitely not a true beef wellington. It was good, not great, and definitely not worth the price or sold as it was advertised. It was an ok place. I feel management failed at keeping up the history and old school supper club feel. It could be good but needs an overhaul. I hope they do something before it dies off like so many others. Unfortunately I won't rush to go back until they do.

Wife chose a bar for a fish fry (no name given) and I chose the Packing House. She said afterwards, "You can always bring me here for fish fry 😋." We had a fantastic time! The atmosphere was surreal. Perfect lighting, friendly professional staff, customers enjoying themselves, nice music and a perfect fish fry plus the clam chowder was really good. Wife took some home and four days later she said that her cod was good 👍, can you believe that, four days later!? They are truly deserving of their reputation.

The Packing House. This was another awesome experience for the Supper Club journey! After we confirmed our reservations, we headed to the bar. Started with the WISCO Old Fashion and Martini, they make great drinks by the way! It wasn’t long before we were seated for dinner. Our waitress was super friendly and knowledgeable about all the dinner options. We had a combination of the duck, tenderloin, vegan dish and pork chop for dinner. The food was amazing! Over all a 5 star experience! Thanks for a great Saturday night dining experience!

The main fish fry is Icelandic cod. That’s available in the drive through or to go or dine in with either French fries or potato pancakes. We also have a perch fish fry or a combo with cod and perch. Both available dine in or to go, but not in the drive through. Both available with French fries of potato pancakes. Hope that answers your questions! Feel free to see our website at: PackingHouseMKE.com or call us at 414-483-5054. Thank you!
