Awesome little joint. We were out on a work conference from Utah and loved everything we got. The best was the best. Burger, pork chop and fish were all awesome as well. The Torres were great. Ian and Makenzie were both very friendly and helpful. Excellent experience all around.

The cheeseburger meat was so thin, very disappointed for a local restaurant amd the fried chicken was pretty good.

Burger meat please use more so the customer can taste it

This was our first visit. We didn't realize that we arrived close to closing and stayed past closing. They were still kind and served us and didn't rush us out of the door. We ordered the broasted chicken and it was excellent.

Gosses for lunch today. I just had one of the best steak sandwiches I've had in a long time. Could easily cut back on the butter but with sheboygan rolls to soak it up, why not go for it.

The fried chicken and broasted potatoes are amazing. The breading on the chicken has some sort of extra spice in it that gives it a lot of flavor, maybe cumin. It's a cool location, too, right next to the train tracks. Every time I drive my this place, I can smell them cooking the steak sandwiches, and it smells incredible. I'll have to try one someday. This place is cash only.

Dont even bother with KFC or Popeyes. If you want fried chicken, this is the place to go.

Nice atmosphere and bar, good service. This place is serving up the best brats I've ever experienced... period. The butter on top was sublime and rich The bun exactly toasted perfect and the grilled onions just tied it all together perfectly. Highly recommend.

Craving homemade food where the locals go? Look no further than The Northwestern House! You absolutely can't miss their broasted chicken– it's incredibly crispy, expertly seasoned, and so juicy that the flavors literally run down your fingers, even the white meat! Their
seak burgers are unbelievable, served on a buttery bun with a choice of perfectly seasoned tater tots or broasted potatoes that are simply divine.

And for dessert? Prepare to be amazed. All their torts are seasonal and homemade daily making them an absolute must-try, even for non-dessert people.

Just a heads-up: they close at 7 PM, so be sure to arrive early. You'll want every moment to savor this fantastic experience!

Stopped by for the perch dinner and torte for dessert. The perch was great. Cooked well, with a really tasty coating. The tortes were delicious, although we did notice the pieces are not as big as they used to be 😐. They had a good selection of different flavors, and we sampled most of them 😁

First the steak sandwich omg melt in your mouth phenomenal. The fries were super undercooked. Nearly raw. Now I ordered a turtle torte. Now turtles are pecans chocolate and Carmel. My torte was peanuts and cream that's it. So not worth my money.

Edited review. I had originally given them 5 stars, but after today, I had to change my review. We usually have a really good experience at the Northwestern House, but today we ordered chicken tenders and one of them was still raw. We notified our server and she said she would let her boss know. When we asked about it again before leaving, she said she forgot to talk to him and asked us what we would like done about it. We asked that maybe they could take something off the bill for serving us raw chicken. She came back and said her boss couldn't take anything off the bill, only offering to make a replacement 1 piece chicken tender. At that point, we were getting ready to go and declined since we were obviously done eating already. In my opinion, it would have been more professional to take something off the bill since it was a pretty big deal to be serving raw chicken to a customer and they were notified right away and forgot about it until after we were done. It's disappointing since we loved to go there up until now. Not sure if we will be back.

The Northwestern House in Sheboygan is a fantastic spot for a delicious meal and great company! Our group of 6-7 had a wonderful experience. From start to finish, the service was top-notch – attentive and friendly without being intrusive. The menu had a good variety, and everything was cooked to perfection. Whether you're dining with family, friends, or a business group like we were, the Northwestern House is a great choice. Highly recommend!

Waitress clearly did NOT want to be there. We ordered a double brat for me and my wife ordered the cheeseburger. We also ordered a basket of sweet potato fries for an appetizer. We received our food wrapped to go, no plates, no silverware. My double brat was dropped onto the table in front of me. That's when we also received the sweet potato fries which were supposed to be the appetizer, and we did not receive the regular fries which were supposed to be included with our sandwiches. The brats were smothered in grease and butter, which soaked into the bun and, 3 bites into it, could no longer support the sausage and one of them fell on the floor. Without any utensils to aid in eating this sloppy mess, I was forced to eat with my hands, which got covered in grease. All the other guests received their order on a plate or in a basket and were supplied with cutlery, except us. The cheeseburger was thin and dominated by the oversized bun. They only accept cash, no cards or checks, but they do provide an ATM which charges a fee to get the cash to pay the bill.
I went in with high expectations based upon other reviews and how busy the place was, but left feeling like I was unwanted and an inconvenience to the waitress.

If I could we would give it a 10. Chicken was awesome and the perch dinner was as well. We had great service from Joan.
What was really great, we spoke to the manager of our first time experience, it was so cool of how wonderful he spoke of his employess and how much he appreciated them. This place is rad and cant wait to come again only to try the steak sandwich or I heard the pork sandwich is great. Prices are reasonable.

Stopped in here on Friday night of Memorial Day weekend. The broasted chicken, broasted potatoes were amazing. The cheese curds were plenty and good. The cheeseburger was buttery and delicious. They had a couple NA beer options and Sprecher on tap. The atmosphere is pleasant. The prices are great. The surprises were a closing time of 7pm and cash only. We didn't know that when we arrived at 6:55pm but they were nice and still seated us.

Maybe I’m not a Broasted chicken fan, but I found the chicken to be ok only. Nothing special about it. The dark meat are always good but the breast is dry like others I had try before. I know people rave about the chicken, but maybe it is just not a fit for me. Would I eat here again? If you buy it for me, yes.

What a waste of money! Steak sandwich came on what was not a (fresh) hard roll??? Sandwich was very dry and what I'll call a "bun" was very dense in nature. Ordered crispy french fries and got what looked like old fries and not crispy at all. The fries tasted like the oil/grease that they were cooked in. For the money that was spent I'll stick with Culver's!

I grew up in Sheboygan and had just flown in to visit my parents. I couldn’t wait to go to the Northwestern House to get a perch sandwich. I have never encountered such rude waitstaff ever. The waitresses were rude to me agd my eighty year old parents . It ruined our night and the perch was just okay. Ugh - so sad . We would not recommend the Northwestern House - this is not Sheboygan I know.
