Just stopped in on our way between Chicago and Stevens Point. We had a nice lunch and great service. Happy to find MJ Stevens during our travels.

Cod Oscar is outstanding and a great option to the normal menotinous Friday fish fry.

Located at almost its own exit off of Highway 41 between Milwaukee and Fond du Lac - sitting pretty much alone in the middle of not much else, you'll find the throwback to a simpler time in the form of a uniquely decorated, warm and inviting hybrid of a Wisconsin Supper Club and a first rate Steakhouse's called MJ Stevens. The entrance leads directly into the huge yet cozy bar with the big u-shaped actual bar that may be required for a bonafide supper club. And the definite requisite awesome old fashioned (the drink). My friend had one and said it was delicious. The kids (ages 16-18) went for the kiddie cocktails - because where else can they get them? A decent wine and beer list was also sampled. The only deviation from the supper clubs of my past was no relish tray on the lazy Susan - I missed it. The menu is huge - appetizers, salads, sandwiches, pastas, seafood, steaks, full dinners that included chicken a la Oscar, seafood moray and cordon bleu. Their specialty is prime Rib with several sizes and preparations. The steaks are also amazing and served with au jus and homemade horseradish cream. Meals all come with choice of a nice house salad with amazing homemade dressings, or a choice from two homemade soups - when we were there it was cream of duck or roasted red pepper with shrimp! In addition they serve warm, freshly baked bread and choice of potato. Friends had prime rib (huge and delicious cooked perfectly), 8 oz filet mignon (same as prime rib -perfect), a couple of pastas recommended by our server and huge portions there too. I had a half rack of the bbq ribs - the size was more like a full rack - I ate 3 ribs and took home I think 6 or 7 more. These ribs were amazingly tender - the bones just slid away from the meat without any utensils or prodding from me. It was melt in your mouth delicious with a tangy mild sauce that complimented the meat without overwhelming. The service was absolutely wonderful. Our server was not a teenager and has probably been there at least 20 years. She was well-versed on every menu item and made great recommendations after asking a couple of questions to determine likes/dislikes. No room for dessert but they had a ton of yummy choices. If you ever find yourself between Fond du Lac and Milwaukee, treat yourself to a wonderful lunch, dinner or Saturday/Sunday Brunch - you'll be very glad you did. The absent 5th star is for three reasons: location is remote, the ambiance can be pretty loud, and the prices are on the high side. But I'll go back at every chance I get up that way - definitely worth the drive!

Just an update with photos of the inside of the restaurant and of their wonderful fish fry. Our server last night was Sandy and she has been there many years. She's fabulous!
