★★★★★ 5.0 Jen and Damian Hilgendorf · Jul 2023

Was in the area and found this place on a search for a good fish fry. It definitely lived up to the hype. The fish fry was excellent. Big firm pieces of fish, a few choices of potato ( including potato pancakes) warm fresh baked bread and tasty coleslaw. Everything about the meal was delicious. Fast service good prices. * No credit or debit cards* Nice little bar to hang out in while you wait for your table. Old fashioned was pretty good. If I'm ever in the area I'll definitely be back.

Everything you could ask for in a classic rural Wisconsin super club! Nothing fancy, paneled walls, friendly service with great food at a wonderful price! The bartender and fellow patrons were a delight!

★★★★★ 5.0 Christopher Holzapfel · Oct 2025

We went to try somewhere new. The menu in the online pictures is not updated... prices were a few dollars higher, but very reasonable.... service was very welcoming, and continued throughout our entire time there. (Bartender, waitress, etc.) If going there to eat, let the bartender know and they will take care of it. We drank to mixed drinks, both were excellent and great price. For a place I drove by many times and didnt consider stopping, that was my mistake. I will be there again, extremely happy we went, you will be too.

★★★★★ 5.0 Lisa Sowieja · Aug 2025

We decided on the Wayside because it was about halfway between Madison and Milwaukee to meet our friends. What a find! It’s the supper club that are getting to be so rare in this time of chain restaurants. The moment we walked in the bartender greeted us right away. Our waitress was a spitfire. She took my husband’s ‘sense of humor’ in stride and gave it right back to him. He met his match in a 17 year old. The food was amazing! Our friends and hubby had prime rib that they loved and I had the tenderloin. I know tenderloins are supposed to be tender but this was fall apart tender and the flavor was so good. The prices are very reasonable and the menu has options for everyone. We will be back for sure. Thank you for such an enjoyable experience.
