Very cool history in the tavern, especially if you're a racing fan. Good beer selection and excellent prime rib sandwich and smash burger options, too. A great time, especially after a visit to Road America.

Cool spot and vibe with racing aesthetics. Great service and delicious food (prime rib sammy and homemade chips). Just a block from the lake.

My favorite place to stop when in town for events at Road America. So nice to have a place that offers gluten free options. Everything fried is gluten free, so even the fries are safe. The fish fry is amazing.

We got the steak sandwich, a salad, and the fish fry. All were quite good. The salad dressing is the same one Mom (also from Wisconsin) has made for the past 60+ years. Classic, old-school Wisconsin.

You order drinks and food at separate bars. Bloody Mary was an excellent choice given that I was in Wisconsin and on vacation.

You can eat on their patio, inside a screened porch, or inside. They also have some picnic tables in the grass if you have a dog with you. We didn't at this moment.

Every place in and around Siebkens is a must-try.

Great ambiance, food good, most of service experience was good, except for a rude, older, female server. Interrupted me trying to convey my order to the cashier, and while watching was flabbergasted. Even approached my table unprofessionally. We left

Overpriced, poor quality food. Burger was completely raw. Salad was bad. Noodles cold. Beer was poured during a keg change ... left hungry and with a $120 bill

Amazing food for a diner/bar style restaurant! Good portion sizes, homemade chips tasted not burnt, and the hard left burger was to die for. You have to go up to the bar to order food (didn’t realize at first), but staff was very friendly.

I first visited Siebkins Stop Inn during a visit to Road America in 1984. SO when I returned 40 years later, I made a point to visit....4 nights in a row. I enjoyed several cold PBR bottles, A few Speckled Hens, and another local beer from SwitchGear Brewing. I enjoyed everything I ate, but the superstar for me was the roasted carrot appetizer with Pistachios and blue cheese. Holy Smokes! The staff was kind, accommodating, and hustling around pretty good. There is no table service. Everything needs to be ordered from the bar or the sandwich counter. A great time...I hope to return next year!

A must-visit during your Elkhart Lake vacation! Charming dive bar atmosphere with ridiculously good food — the carbonara with homemade pasta is the best I’ve ever had, and the cheese curds are perfect.

Surprisingly large gluten free menu.

Stopped in for dinner and a couple of drinks after setting up out our camper at Plymouth Rock Campground. The staff was knowledgeable, kind, and able to offer recommendations. The food was full of flavor and plentiful. I definitely recommend stopping in and saying hi.

Really wanted to like this place as I chose it for a birthday dinner. Drinks were horrible! Asked for a lemondrop martini and was served vodka and lemon juice in a wine glass!!! Yuck! Walleye was very good but the carbonara was over peppered with wads of garnish on top. Sadly, I won't return...ruined a very special birthday.

Great selection of gluten free fried food, they are very celiac frendly. Amazing food and no cross contamination in the fryer.

I went there with a few other people and we all ordered the “famous” sandwiches which is misleading because having a deli sandwich that is reminiscent to a convenience store sandwich isn’t special. Two of us ordered turkey and asked if we could get roast beef as well for an extra charge of course but compared the amount of meat to the the other two in our group that just had turkey and their wasn’t any more meat it just appeared that they substituted one slice of turkey for a slice of roast beef but charged $4 extra on top of the ridiculously high price of $13. I figured we would get extra meat for that not substituted. We we’re better off ordering one turkey and one roast beef sandwich and swapping meat and save $8. I don’t mind paying a premium for a sandwich that is unique and doesn’t taste like something you can make at home better and cheaper but that is exactly what this sandwich was not especially unique nor that good. The famous rye bread was rather stale and chewy plus the homemade chips were stale as well. One of the people from our group ordered a corned beef sandwich and said it didn’t taste like any corned beef he’s ever had and not in a good way. All of us in our group agreed this was a ridiculous amount of money for deli sandwiches that consisted of stale rye bread very little deli meat, slice of cheese, onions tomatoes and dijon. Seriously can’t believe how this is a favorite local place to go and eat. You can get a way better and more unique sandwich at any franchised sandwich shop for less money. I have never paid almost $40 for two sandwiches with out even ordering drinks before and get that kind of a convenience store sandwich experience. The place wasn’t even that busy and we waited a bit before we got our food which we all couldn’t figure that out because putting together 4 sandwiches like these take all of 4 minutes to construct and a handful of stale chips. I don’t even want to start on the ridiculous way to order with ordering food on one counter and going to the other counter to order a drink but yet have to pay separately. We all didn’t bother going through the hassle of ordering drinks instead just grabbed water from the dispenser they had on the counter. Luckily because with added drinks that would have been over $50 for freakin convenience store deli sandwiches. This place should be ashamed for charging these prices and serving this food especially charging extra for two meats but not getting anymore meat. That’s just unscrupulous business.

You MUST taste the Prime Rib Sandwich!!! It is INCREDIBLE! (At least, we loved it!) It comes with homemade chips, that are also delicious! And the best part in my opinion: the gluten free bun is really tasty!

One of the best fish fry’s in Wisconsin. Plenty of seating to accommodate parties of all sizes. The cocktails were strong, local, and refreshing after a hot summer day. This is a true Wisconsin watering hole, and the cheese curds are the best we’ve ever had. If you’re looking for a good time, why don’t you “stop inn” to this tavern? While this place is fabulous for dinner, it also has a wonderful late-night scene as night fades to dawn.

Nice corner spot with a good patio and decent food. Gluten free food options are available; though we got the gf options the gluten sensitive one in the group definitely got sick from eating gluten. Overall the food was good but not amazing, and the fries were absolutely bathed in salt making them nearly inedible (sad, especially considering we had ordered an extra platter of them from the getgo). Beer selection is ok, though you need to go inside to order food and beverages.

Stopped in for a Sunday lunch. Did not meet expectations. The atmosphere was very laid back, in a negative way. Service staff was not available to take our order. When the orders arrived, after a very long wait, the food was over cooked. The staff was nice enough, but the whole tavern seemed to be a stepchild of whatever was going on elsewhere that day. Once was enough for us, won’t be visiting again. I’m sure it’s a great bar in the evenings/nights.

Never been to Elkhart lake, picked it because it was a central meetup. Must not have been a busy weekend in town because restaurant was not busy. Food was fantastic. Or I was really hungry. Or both! Chicken sandwich and fries were done to perfection, salad had quality greens, bar was fun, not expensive, we had a great time out on the porch with our dog. I was surprised and impressed for a place we just picked off the map.

Popular spot on race weekends, typically packed. Expect to wait for a drink, on the inside. Outside is cash only. Often has live music out back also.
