Sailor Dan's - Kansasville, WI

This used to be Auctioneer's Inn which failed for many reasons. My opinion is that it probably failed because of poor service and a change in management. The nice thing about Auctioneer's Inn was that it had character and some of the dishes were quite good.


Sailor Dan's has none of this. The restaurant now looks like a bar in a bowling alley. The food is over priced and poor quality.


Our meal started out with warm bread that had been heated up in a microwave. It was rubbery and uneatable. It is hard to believe that in this day and age everyone knows you cannot heat bread in a microwave.


We also had salads, which were good, not great.


My wife had Sherry's Dijon Chicken, which should have been called Sherry's De Jonge Chicken. She ordered it thinking it would be in a dijon sauce, but was surprised that is was actually a de Jonge prepration with garlic, butter and breadcrumbs. The chicken had a rubbery texture and a very strange taste. It could have been freezer burn, not sure, but she could never eat more of the chicken and only ate the pasta with the sauce. The de jonge sauce was actually quite good, just not what was expected.


I had the Porterhouse Steak, not bad actually, not very tender, but very flavorful.


This cost us almost $100.00


Overall the place is a bar, it really is not a place to go out and have a meal that is anything remotely of good quality. I can see this place hopping on the weekend with a bunch of bikers livening up the place. Go for the drinks, don't go for the food or atmosphere.


We'd give you the website, but from we can tell, they don't have one.
