The Wild Turkey: Reviews & Ratings
Excellent food,atmosphere and very entertaining bartenders with new drink concoctions arriving daily!!! Five stars for Sure. Ample parking and right across the street from ATV/UTV and Snowmobile trails. A GEM In Conover Wisconsin!!!
So I got Jill'd on one Monday night. And we have come back here every night of our vacation. Probably best entertainment and bar tender up here in Conover. Dinner was awesome and the drinks were top notch! Planning a trip back in September and will definitely come back to be Jill'd again.
Caught The Wild Turkey during a menu revamp, maybe not the best time, so even though my experience was closer to three stars I am giving them the benefit of the doubt. Apparently they are abandoning their smoked meat and BBQ menu for something else, but haven't fully landed on what that something else might be. Tonight's special was fried perch, which I had. It was OK, but I would order something else next time. Had a nice ale on tap, staff was friendly. No dining at the bar, however, which I prefer when flying solo.
Wife and I had the smoked wings (Buffalo and Garlic Parm). Best wings we've had anywhere! Great service and surprisingly low prices.
We stopped at The Wild Turkey randomly as we passed through town and it was some of the best BBQ I ever had--and I've been to Texas, the South, etc. All meat was fork tender and fell off the bone. The ribs in particular were my favorite. The baked beans were unlike any other baked bean I've had. It had multiple types and sizes that kicked it up a notch. Everything was handmade, even the hand cut French fries. Nothing frozen here, folks. The owner and master smoker, Ed, ran the bar on this particular day and was very pleasant to chat with over the course of the lunch. The restaurant was just recently renovated and looks great. All in all I wish I lived near this restaurant because it was that good. Ed could easily win any BBQ competition around. 10/10.
OMG, we just moved to the area and came here as a recommendation from a local. Boy, we were NOT disappointed. The waitress was so sweet and welcoming and made some great suggestions from the menu. We ordered cheese curds as an appetizer but it didn't make the cut picture wise because we LOVED them and ate them all but let me tell you, one of the best fried curds I've had and they came so fast, hot and so many an easy sharable starter. The sampler of BBQ was amazing everything was so tender with a great smoky flavor and the BBQ (made in house)....WOW! Give it a try, you'll be glad you did.
We stopped here on the Monday of the 4th of July weekend. It was the only thing open in the area and was very busy. The hostess was super helpful, but they were short staffed and only had 4 things to order from on the menu -brisket, corned beef, Mac n cheese, wings. French fries and some duck tenders. We ordered one of each. While it took a while to come it was actually pretty good. The brisket was super tender and the really good. They let us throw on the duck tenders because of our picky eaters and those were really good. The bloody Mary was delicious too. I'd like to stop back when they have a normal menu.
