4 Mile Restaurant Bar - Eau Claire

Traditional supper club atmosphere. Packed on a Friday Fish Fry night but worth the wait! Great menu choices and delicious salad bar.Food: 5/5

We had heard very good things about their Friday night fish fry and decided to try it. (We have not been there since Smiths owned it we used to be regulars then. We called earlier to see if they took reservations and were told they do not. Understandable. Were told to come around 4:30 and the wait should be 30 to 45 minutes. We were there by 4:20 and told it would be about a 45 minute wait. We had drinks at the bar. My husband went to check on what estimated seating time would be at 5:30 and was told it should be about 45 minutes. So we waited until 6:15, checked again, and were told again about 45 minutes. My husband was not happy and explained that we had been waiting since 4:20. (And, I want to point out so were people all around us at the bar. Amazingly, about 15 minutes later, we were given a table. Someone came relatively quickly, gave us water and took our order. By 7:30 we had our water and had gone to the salad bar but no food. The waitress had briefly stopped by several times during the hour to say that our food should be out shortly. So by 7:30 we had had enough, got up, stated our displeasure to the hostess and gave her money for our salads. She responded with a snarky 'have a good night ' and walked away from us. Needless to say, we are EXTREMELY upset that we wasted a night out as we can 't even say if they had good food or not since after over 3 hours we still did not have our order just small salads. I understand a business being busy but their customer service was horrendous why didn 't someone go around to people waiting and waiting and apologize? (Would have spent more but had only had some drinks and salad. See question below.

Service is excellent but do not order wings they are all burnt! The rest look like the second picture.

This is Wisconsin. The food is awesome (the perch is the best), the bar tenders are entertaining even as they rush from order to order. On Friday's arrive early, food service starts at four and if you get there after that you will likely have to wait, but do. It's worth the wait.Food: 5/5

Wonderful staff is always a great way to start your evening and they ARE GREAT. Loved their salad bar don't always see those these days, the soup is really good! Friday Fish Fry is one of the best, Also very good is their Prime Rib and the Jumbo Shrimp. Hard to leave without having a great ice cream drink to top the meal. Can't wait to return?
