Wisconsin’s culinary scene offers a wide variety of iconic supper clubs in the Fond Du Lac and the Lake Winnebago region.
Few places define Wisconsin’s culinary tradition as well as the “supper club.” Before chains dominated the American landscape restaurants prided themselves as family-owned and run operations that celebrated food, good times and excellent service. These values were never lost in many of the restaurants in Fond du Lac and the Lake Winnebago Region. These establishments are known for their hospitality, incredible meals at a good value, the iconic and still beloved, hand-muddled Old Fashioned cocktail and local farm to table offerings.

Built in 1846 as the Fuhrman’s Hotel, Big AL Capone’s in Malone is recognized as the third oldest bar still in operation in Wisconsin.
