The Crossings Supper Club, Weyauwega - Friday September 7, 2018

After a round of golf at Weymont Run we ventured to the Crossings Supper Club, outside of Weyauwega where Hwy 110 and Hwy 54 come together.  We arrived about 7:15 and the barroom was not busy.  We took two seats at the U shaped bar and ordered the usual from Loren, our bartender, who is considered a fixture at The Crossings.  Loren said the Crossings has been operating for about 30 years and is owned by Randy Mitchell and his wife, who bought it from Randy’s mother.   There appeared to be a group of “regulars” at the bar as well.

Our drinks (Brandy Old Fashioneds, of course) were good and Loren told us he put honey in them.  He gave us menus, which included a typical Friday night fish offering of haddock, perch, and walleye.     A waitress appeared to take our order.  I ordered the perch with sweet potato fries and Paul ordered the haddock with French fries.  She returned to notify us that table 7 was ready whenever we were.

 

From our discussion with Loren, we gathered that the original establishment included only the barroom area and that the dining room and kitchen were added sometime in the last 30 years.  Our dinners came with the soup and salad bar, which also included the usual liver pate’ and cheese spread.  The salad bar had a variety of what appeared to be fresh garden leaf lettuce, which was nice.   Just as we were finishing our salads, our food arrived.

   

We didn’t try the soup, a seafood chowder and one other I can’t remember, but the salad bar was good.  My perch and sweet potato fries were both very good.  I had not been a big fan of sweet potato fries, but decided to try them again and was glad I did.  Paul reported that his deep fried haddock was done just right and very good.

 

During our dinner, Paul overheard the owner talking to some folks at another table, about trapping otters.  He mentioned that if properly prepared, using his grandma’s recipe, “otters are good eating.”   There were no otter dishes on the menu, however.

The Crossings was a friendly place and seemed to have a regular local crowd, which usually means the food and drinks are good, and they were. A nice place to stop if in the area.
