Thunder Bay Grille Pewaukee - Grill in Pewaukee - N14W24130 Tower Pl, USA

So we went here after my sister-in-law's wedding rehearsal. I've never been here before or heard of it. We had a private room for all of us. I love the style of native American items and pictures in the restaurant. The staff were friendly and fun to talk with. And the food was so good too! We talked about going there again soon. I can't wait to try their menu. It was super relaxing after the rehearsal.

We had a decent experience here as a group. Our waitress looked overwhelmed at our group size but she was accomodating and always came out with water. Food presentation is ok. Unfortunately I have to knock down my star rating to 3 on food because my ribeye came well done instead of medium rare as requested, odd. See picture. I will probably give this restaurant another try in the future as they offer a lot on their menu.

We had the brunch buffet last Sunday and based on the visit I don't think I would ever want to return. First off the buffet was empty and I mean empty. We did get a few things to eat but it seems like the little food we could snag had been sitting around for a long time. They had a few pieces of prime rib and they were ice cold. It's like they had been sliced hours ago even though they advertise that it's carved fresh for you. Well it's not carved fresh for you. It's carved when they feel like it. Our waitress was the only bright spot. She was very cheerful and professional. If only your kitchen staff had the same attitude as our server then maybe they would care about the food. Our bill for the two buffets and two sodas was over $60. I felt embarrassed for myself and this establishment as I paid that bill. It's basically felt like they took advantage of us with how poorly this place is run and the lack of food for the price we paid.

Amazing bison meatloaf, if I could stop by weekly to indulge in this dish I would! Our waiter, Willow did a great job-He was hustling and was managing many tables. Service was a bit slow but we knew he was giving 110% He was very nice and personable even though he had a lot in his plate. Looking forward to my next visit!

I was seated immediately. It was a slow start. I waited a long time before server come. My server was a handsome, kind, polite gentleman, with a good sense of humor. He called a glass of water, a shot of Pewaukee tap water. I started with a prickly pear margarita, it was blue in color. Very refreshing. While I was waiting for my appetizer, I went to the huge salad bar. Looked nobody goes there, even the staff. The salad greens needed replenishment. Some spot cleaning too. There were many things to choose from. Cold pasta dishes, coleslaw, cottage cheese, pickled banana pepper rings, bacon, ham, cheese and more. My appetizer was bison meatballs, 4 big meatballs in mushroom and onion sauce, like a gravy. Very nice sized portions, big, juicy, and tender. Very yummy. For the main entree, I ordered the smoked bison meatloaf. 2 big slices of meatloaf on top of mashed potatoes and gravy. Green beans on the side. So delicious! I felt bad wasting the sauce on the meatballs. I poured the remaining sauce from the meatballs, it complimented the meatloaf. The bar was a huge area. The restaurant huge and was spacious. Plenty of areas for small parties or group seating. Very comfortable.

Overall a nice big restaurant with a great atmosphere and a nice sized bar area. The service at my last visit was good but the server was not great. The salad bar is great and offers a great variety. Menu is extensive and offers lots for differing dietary preferences. My daughter loved the soup. Our server for our last visit, there were 9 of us, was a really nice guy but didn't come back to check on us at all.

Had a lovely full course brunch here...it was a 25 to 30 min wait for a table or immediate seating at the bar area or high top table for which was no issue for just the 2 of us! Highly recommend...all u can eat $20 Amazing salad bar...only issue was the French Toast was cold....but huge selections and made to order omelets as well! We'll be back! Even for dinner soon!

We were very very disappointed with the buffet today. We have had it in the past and it was fine, but today there was NO food. I will say the salad bar was pretty well stocked, but the hot food was empty every time we went for food. People were standing around waiting for food. Between my husband and I we had 1 waffle (the last one), 2 sausage links, cheesy potatoes ( the 3rd time up) , the last 2 pieces of french toast, a biscuit with gravy (that was awful) and the salad bar. All the other pans were empty every time we went back. Definitely not a $25 per person meal. We will not be returning, which is disappointing because we have enjoyed the brunch in the past.
