The Prime Steer, Kaukauna - Saturday April 28, 2018

Tonight we decided to try the Prime Steer on the outskirts of the Hawaiian village of Kau-Kau-Na. We arrived around six thirty to a crowded barroom, not unusual for a popular supper club on a Saturday night.  As luck would have it we nabbed the last two seats at the closed polygonal bar and settled in for a couple of old fashioneds.  We checked in with the hostess and were told it would be about a thirty to forty five minute wait. No problem as we were in no hurry and the cocktails and complementary garlic pretzels were very good.

The Prime Steer has been in business since 1973 and owned by the Natrop family since 1982.  Members of the Natrop family also own and operate Haase’s Supper Club in Borth (see previous post) and the Wedgewood Supper Club in Omro (see possible future post).

The waitress took our order at the bar and returned a few minutes later to tell us that our table was ready and to help ourselves to the salad bar. The salad bar was typical supper club fare, nothing out of the ordinary, but very good; fresh greens and a variety of fixings, home-made dressings and cheese and liver pate spreads with crackers and breadsticks. French onion soup was on the menu for an additional cost.

It seemed to take an unusually long time for our entrees to be served, but as I mentioned earlier, it was no problem as we were in no hurry and the cocktails were very good.  When our food finally arrived the waitress apologized saying they had had a minor disaster in the kitchen.  They were serving a number of large groups that night and apparently several orders got mixed up. She assured us that this wasn’t normally the case.

   

Ann had the broasted chicken with American fries and I had the Saturday special, prime rib with twice baked potato.  Our meal and overall dining experience at the Prime Steer was excellent. Unfortunately we were too full for after dinner drinks. According to their website, the Steer is famous for their ice cream drinks and chocolate martinis. We will definitely be back to try one.
