Don't waste your money. Our family visited Mr. G's for dinner in August. It has always been one of our favorite places to eat during our decades of visits to Door County.

I had hardly the count the ways how things have changed. The restaurant was nearly empty when our group of five walked in, yet we were inexplicably seated in the table closest next to the bathroom.

Our waitress was slow to take our order and mentioned something about how "overwhelmed" she was by the three tables currently seated. When she brought us a basket of rolls, we started to eat them only to realize that they were rock hard and frozen in the middle. We asked for new rolls, and the new batch that she brought out -- 15 minutes later -- were burned and nearly impossible to touch, something that she obviously would have noticed but didn't care about enough to fix.

I ordered potato pancakes with my fried perch and was given three deep-fried patties that resembled a Mcdonald's hash brown. They were greasy and disgusting and certainly not a potato pancake.

Overall, service was slow, our waitress was rude and indifferent, the food was mediocre at best -- all for $17 entrees that were horribly overpriced considering the dining experience.

We will never return. Stay far away.

Worth a stop!. We head to Door County at least 3 times a year and always swing it to see what is going on at this Supper Club! The bartenders are always entertaining and friendly, usually the owner or one of his sons. The food is always amazing. It is like comfort food... always hits the spot, and you always leave the place happy!

If it is busy, you sit at the bar and watch the people around - always entertaining. Worth the stop, and worth the wait.

Great place in Door County. Great service, friendly and accommodating. I've been to a wedding there, and ate in the main dining room many times. The wedding was served family style and all the food was hot when it got to our table. We did not have any issues with the service but noticed we did not recognize many of the staff. The main dining room staff is very experienced and pleasant. They do a great job for everything they have to do. Unlike at many other places, they do not have someone to run the food or set the tables, or run the drinks. The servers usually do it all themselves. During the busiest nights in the summer I have seen a few busers. Many of the people coming have been going for years and we love running into old friends. Mr. G's has a long history in Door County and we always make a point to stop when we are visiting - both in the winter and summer. Food is good, love the whitefish and ribs!

Did not want to serve Black customers. I went to a wedding at Mr. G.'s on October 17, 2009. As the waitress was serving the salads, I noticed that everyone around me, on the side of me, in the back of me were served their salads, but my table was not. Once the waitress looked over, I guess she decided to serve my table. There were only five people at my table, she served the white customers first. Then, alas, she served my salad but did not give my daughter a salad. I had to ask for one for my daughter. The same thing happened when it came time for the food. Everyone was served around us, our table was served last. Let me say we were not the last table, there was a table behind us who was also served before us. I think that this is appalling in 2009, and I will not go to this restaurant again. I have told all of my friends here in Milwaukee not to patronize this restaurant and we are passing the word along, Mr. G's supper club staff have a problem when it comes to serving people of color!!! Never again will this happen to me! I have too much money, and can go elsewhere in Door County to enjoy a nice mean!!!

Worst Dinning Experience Ever. Made a reservation for 16 + 1 baby. When we arrived there was no high chair set up and no where to put one... the waitress suggested I set my child away from the table by himself. We ended up splitting up our group to accommodate my 15mo old child. Waitress was not friendly at all. Glasses were chipped. At one point my child was screaming (not continuous and not that loudly), keep in mind this is a pub/restaurant not a country club... I was trying to get him calmed down. I didn't realize it was going to be such an issue. Our waitress informed us the noise was bothering the other folks in the restaurant and I'd have to leave with my child. Our waitress said in over 25 years she had never seen a child so noisy. I worked in a restaurant for four years in high school so I have an idea how kids act and my child was in no way out of control. They should have informed us when we made our reservation that children were unwelcome. I was very offended and would never recommend Mr. G's. The economy must be doing just fine in Door County as the owner didn't seemed concerned at all about our displeasure or losing business. I'm really at a loss on this place.

Best Food in Wisconsin. The food was spectacular, and the service was excellent; my waitress Christina was an absolute peach, so sweet and always smiling. The bartender Patty, whom I have seen there since I started going, always has a lively conversation going and serves an array of drinks. Bob and Mary are the proud owners of Mr. Gs, and both have been working there for 25 years. It is a warm, quaint place, with a real fire going all winter long. I have been going there for about 11 years, and it is always the same faces year after year. I have never had a bad meal there. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone in the area, or anyone within a couple hours drive, you wont be disappointed.

One of the best.... I have been a guest at Mr. G's Supper Club numerous times throughout all my years of vacationing in Door County and have not one complaint. The food is some of the best in Door County and I must say the same for the service as well. I was extemely disturbed by the poor comments reguarding this fine establishment. Anytime you visit the peninsula for a week or just a weekend, be sure to stop and enjoy one of Door County's landmarks. I promise you won't be disappointed.

dinner theatre is great; food is poor. The attached dinner theatre is wonderful, highly recommend.

However, avoid eating directly at the Mr. G dining hall. I have made 3 trips to the dining hall in 18 months. Poor service each time. Its close to my cottage but will avoid in future.

Service is terrible, food is only OK. If you looking for poor service it consitantly poor. Unfriendly attitute, slow with serving, slow with water refills.
