First time eating at Richards Restaurant, came in on a Thursday night with no reservations and was seated immediately. Given water and buns to start. We ordered the combo platter as an appetizer and came out in a timely manner, and it was delish! Best cheese curds, and mushrooms I’ve ever had. Ordered a cheeseburger, well done, which all I tasted was a burned taste to it along with Mac and cheese twice baked potato that had no flavor besides the burnt aftertaste from the burger. The other order was boneless wings (Caribbean Jerk/Buffalo). You get quite a lot for the price and the coating was perfectly in the middle of tender and crunchy. The only negative was that the flavor did lack somewhat. Waiters and staff were all nice, inside was clean and decorated. But could replace the green lighting in the dining area as it does show up on all my pictures. Overall 4-5 stars. I will come back.

I had the boneless wings sweet and spicy and the classic honey BBQ with a couple beers. Every thing was fantastic! The service was great for an all you can eat wing Thursday! Everybody seemed to know eachother witch made for great stories while eating.

Great service and food, great salad bar during friday fish fry. Big pieces of fish. Big TVs at the bar to watch sports. A good place to watch the Brewer game. Will accompany larger groups if you call for reservation. Daily specials.

Excited about the buffet until I saw it. Came in at 7pm on Saturday. Buffet was not replenished, stuffing and gravy sat so long they were dried up. Ribs & pork tasted like day old. Having to refill my own water was the icing on cake for me. I’m not one to complain, but I would like to warn the next guy about a $20-$30 buffet that was worth $5. I believe the place produces great food, my wife ordered Tortellini with Tenderloin, and it was delicious. Long review recap. Give the place a try, just order from menu, something in which they care about and take their time, not the buffet without looking at it ahead of time.

I was staying in a hotel near Stewart Ave in Wausau and was traveling alone. I really didn’t want to go to a chain restaurant and wanted to go to a place where I could socialize with the locals. Man THIS WAS THE PLACE!! On top of it all I got the Ribeye which they hand-cut in house and I could order as many ounces as I wanted. I went for 18oz. ;). And ate every last bite. One of the best steaks I’ve had in a long time and I travel all over the world for work and eat at some really nice places…this honestly ranks as one of the top steaks I’ve had. And the clientele was really friendly too! Now I wish I lived in Wausau and not 900 miles away…because this would be my new place to go!!!

I whole heartedly love supporting local businesses when I can. However, my Sunday evening meal was quite the disappointment. My $30 meal tasted and presented like cafeteria food. The soup and salad bar were just OK. I did eat here pre-covid and thought their fish fry and soup/salad bar was great then. I’m not sure what has happened but we will probably not be returning in the future. It’s a bummer as we live in the area.

Food was good, but not price worthy. Service was mediocre at best. Atmosphere was that of a typical Wisconsin Supper Club.

Definitely has an awesome small town vibe! We’ve been a few times now and the food is delicious. Can’t beat the huge wings you get on Thursday’s all you can eat wing night!

I’ve been coming to Richard’s since I was a kid and it’s something of a family tradition. Prime rib buffet cannot be beat – nothing like it in town and the value is outstanding. Love the classic soup and salad bar. We came for Valentine’s day this year and agreed the lobster tails we had were the best we’ve had out. I’m interested in trying wing night since I’ve heard great things. This is a supper club experience so you should expect to wait, nurse a few drinks, and spend a few hours.
