Krabbe's Kountry Klub, Seymour - Sunday October 14, 2018
Our friend from Montana, Dave Schwalbe, joined us for our
trip to Krabbe’s Kountry Klub in Seymour on Sunday evening. Dave is originally from Wisconsin and has an
appreciation for the Wisconsin Supper Club tradition.
Krabbe’s was opened in 1985 by Steve and Cheri Krabbe. After Steve’s employer abruptly closed, Steve
looked for a business to start. Cheri
was supportive as long as it was not the bar or restaurant business, because
she was a child of restaurant owners and did not want that. As it worked out, he did not listen to
Cheri. Steve bought the Coachlite Supper
Club in 1980. The Coachlite burned down
in 1985. With the insurance proceeds,
they purchased Frank’s Supper Club (where they had had their wedding rehearsal
dinner) and turned it into Krabbe’s. Krabbe’s
location is typical of rural supper clubs sitting at a crossing of two county
roads.
When we arrived around 6:15pm, it was pretty busy in the
restaurant with a lively group in the barroom.
We found some seats at the nice oval bar and Dave and Paul ordered Old
Fashioneds, tonic water for me. As
usual, the bartender offered us menus and we enjoyed our drinks and perused the
menu. When the guys were on their second
OF, the waitress came back to take our order.
Shortly after, she returned, indicating we could go to our table
whenever we were ready.
Dave tried the tenderloin and perch combo with a twice-baked
potato, tenderloin and chicken combo with twice-baked for Paul, and I went with
the Sicilian tenderloin with hashbrowns.
Eventually we went to the dining room and the waitress
greeted us and directed us toward the large salad bar. The salad bar was really good and included
the common cheese spread, liver pate, and a tasty horse radish spread for
crackers. Paul also ordered the French
onion soup ($1), which he said was good.
All the food was very good. The
Sicilian tenderloin was a bit different than I expected, but good. I expected it would be thinner, but it was
very thick and had a lot of cheese on top.
Needless to say, there was a take-home box involved.
