Richfield WI Restaurants: Fish Fry, Supper Clubs and More

A 1933 supper club in an 1845 cabin, a 350-seat newcomer, Thursday rib nights and a breakfast cafe, spread across four roads.

Dinner in Richfield usually means a drive, because the village has no single restaurant row. Richfield restaurants sit in four small pockets: Hubertus Road, Friess Lake Road, Highway 164 on the west side and Highway 175 on the east, and each pocket has a different kind of meal. Between them you can get an old-fashioned supper club dinner, a Friday fish fry, smoked ribs, a pub pizza or a full breakfast.

This list covers the eight places worth planning around, with hours taken from each restaurant's own site where it posts them. Hours change with the seasons, so check before you set out.

Supper club dinners on Friess Lake Road and Hubertus Road

For a classic Wisconsin dinner out, two of Richfield's supper-club rooms sit about 3.3 miles apart.

The Fox & Hounds Restaurant & Tavern

The Fox & Hounds started as a log cabin built in 1845 by the county's first clerk, and Ray Wolf restored it and opened the restaurant in 1933. The name comes from the fox hunts that once gathered there.

Its own site lists fish fry first among the dishes it is known for, followed by steak and lobster, and it recommends reservations. Dinner runs Monday to Thursday 4 to 9pm, Friday and Saturday 4 to 10pm and Sunday 3 to 9pm, with weekend lunch from 11am to 3pm and a Sunday brunch from 10am to 2pm.

The Wisconsin supper clubs round-up counts the Fox & Hounds among the older roadhouse clubs north of Milwaukee.

Johnny Manhattan's

Johnny Manhattan's on Hubertus Road calls itself an Italian steakhouse and a Wisconsin supper club, with steaks and chops, Italian specialties, seafood and pizza on the menu.

The room is wood-panelled around an oak bar, which suits a long steak dinner more than a quick bite. It is a dinner-only room, open Tuesday to Saturday from 4 to 8:30pm and closed Sunday and Monday.

The Forge, the newest dining room

The Forge

The Forge opened in April 2026 on the northeast corner of Pleasant Hill Road and Highway 164, in the building that used to be Pleasant Hill Bar and Grill. It seats 350 and has a covered patio that is used all year. Angel's Share Hospitality runs it, and the size means it handles groups and families that would swamp the smaller rooms in town.

The menu is what its owners call elevated American comfort food: pizzas, noodle bowls, tavern plates and a weekend breakfast, with a range that FOX6 described as running from native fry bread to chicken and waffles. Hours are Monday to Friday 11am to 9pm, Saturday 10am to 9pm and Sunday 10am to 8pm.

It is about 0.3 mile from Richfield Historical Park, which makes it the easy lunch after a Thresheree or Blacksmith Day at the history park.

Sloppy Joe's on Hubertus Road

Sloppy Joe's Saloon & Spoon

Sloppy Joe's Saloon and Spoon fills a Cream City brick building on Hubertus Road that has been a general store, lodging and a neighbourhood bar. The Prostek family took it over in 2026.

The kitchen is built around scratch-made barbecue, with all-you-can-eat smoked ribs on Thursday for $24.99 (dine-in only) and prime rib on Saturday. It opens at 4pm Monday to Thursday, at 11am on Friday and Saturday, and at 9am on Sunday for breakfast.

It sits across Hubertus Road from Johnny Manhattan's, so you can pick between barbecue and a steak dinner from the same parking stretch.

Where to get a Friday fish fry in Richfield

Three Richfield kitchens make a point of their fish fry. Sloppy Joe's offers perch, walleye, haddock and salmon on Fridays. At the Fox & Hounds the fish fry heads the list of what the kitchen is known for, so book a table for a Friday.

Milwaukee Record reviewed the Sawmill Inn fish fry and reported it on Wednesdays and Fridays, so call to confirm the current nights. The Stillery, on Fond du Lac Avenue in the south of the village, also lists a fish fry alongside homemade pizzas and 12 beers on tap.

Pubs with a kitchen

Bilda's Friess Lake Pub

Bilda's Friess Lake Pub sits at the corner of Highways 164 and 167 near Friess Lake, with indoor and outdoor seating.

The kitchen does a smoked barbecue platter, homemade pizza and burgers, and it serves until 9pm Tuesday to Saturday, 8pm on Sunday and Monday. The bar stays open, in its own words, until the last guest leaves. It also fills draft beer to go from a crowler machine, which is handy on the way to a cabin weekend at Glacier Hills, about 1.6 miles west.

The Sawmill Inn on Wolf Road was built in 1982 and has been run by George Boggs since 2001, with a family dining room and a pub at the far end. It opens for breakfast at 7am, and online listings disagree on whether it closes at 8 or 9pm, so call before a late dinner.

Up on Highway 175 north of the village, Kenicky's Public House runs a menu of wings, pizza and burgers and stays open until 2:30am on Friday and Saturday. In football season it runs a Packers game-day event, which its menu site dates from September 13, 2026. All three double as places for a drink, alongside the taproom and the late pubs among the bars in Richfield.

Which Richfield restaurant for which night

Opening days matter more than usual here, because two of these kitchens close early in the week. On a Monday, Johnny Manhattan's and Kenicky's are both closed, while the Fox & Hounds serves dinner from 4pm, Sloppy Joe's opens at 4pm and The Forge runs from 11am to 9pm. Bilda's kitchen is open on Mondays too, from 3 to 8pm.

Sunday is the brunch-and-early-dinner day. The Fox & Hounds runs brunch from 10am to 2pm and dinner from 3pm, The Forge opens at 10am and closes at 8pm, and Johnny Manhattan's stays dark.

For a late night, Kenicky's is the one kitchen-and-bar listed as open until 2:30am on Friday and Saturday, and Bilda's bar stays open after its kitchen closes at 9pm. The Forge's 350 seats make it the likeliest fit for a big group, while the Fox & Hounds asks for reservations.

The pockets are spread out: Hubertus Road to the Fox & Hounds is about 3.3 miles in a straight line, and The Forge to Bilda's is about 1 mile.

Breakfast and coffee

Java Dancer Coffee Bar and Café

Java Dancer Coffee Bar and Cafe, in the Richfield Shopping Plaza on Highway 175, serves a full breakfast and lunch menu alongside its coffee bar.

Listed hours run from 7am on weekdays and 8am at weekends, with an early close of 3pm on Sunday, so check before an afternoon visit.

For a weekend breakfast with a full kitchen, The Forge serves breakfast on Saturday and Sunday from 10am, and Sloppy Joe's starts Sunday breakfast at 9am. Len's Coffee Co. is the newer coffee stop near the Highway 175 strip, serving coffee drinks and small bakery items.

Beer is the other drink Richfield does well, and the taproom at Belshire Brewing lets you bring your own food from any of the kitchens above. For the rest of a day out, start with the things to do in Richfield, from the mill to the lake.
