Was here with my parents and husband for breakfast twice. Both times were good, the service the first time was a little slow, the second time was very good. The swedish pancakes were excellent, prices were reasonable. Would go back for breakfast. more

After eating dinner at Scuttlebutts, my husband and I both agreed that ANYWHERE ELSE in Lake Geneva would have tasted better - even the local McDonald's! The food was HORRIBLE! First, the salad was from a bag and the soup from a can! By this point, we were simply hoping for, at best, a decent entree... but we couldn't have... more

We just returned home from a trip to Lake Geneva and chose Scuttlebutts for it's location, right next to the lake. The food was very good but especially to our 16 year old grandson. He said the chicken was excellent and the pasta was cooked just right. We had a great view of the lake and the waitress was helpful... more

Scuttlebutt's is a "charming" place. So many of the reviews just rip it apart. We have been going there for years. No, it's not gourmet - menu stays the same, etc. It's a small town, resort town restaurant. You can't beat the view, that's the main reason we go there. If the food was terrible we wouldn't go no matter... more

Well the place seemed to have potential because of the location but we were fooled. The atmosphere seems to have reminded me of something out of a nursing home cafeteria. Not lively at all. I'm not looking for a loud or crowded place for dinner but this place needed a pulse. Second of all the food was nothing to write... more

The food really is excellent but I think it's really in bad taste how the servers all sit at a table in the back of the restaurant in plain view of all the guests- and don't take care of you at all. I've been in numerous times as i do love the food but every time the server was cold... more

I go to Scuttlebutt's with my boss who has MS. We love this restaurant! the food is always excellent! But we especially love their fried bluegill of Fridays. the batter that they fry it in is very light and tasty so you actually taste the fish and not the breading. The view of Geneve Lake is also beautiful! there are... more

We were in Lake Geneva this past weekend, 3/25/09. We went to Scuttlebutts for dinner, BIG MISTAKE!!!!!!!!!!!! We waited 20 minutes for a table...not bad. We were seated, served our drinks.....and that was the last time we saw our waitress. We noticed 6 other groups of people, being seated after us...they were served their drinks, dinner, dessert & check before... more

After reading several reviews about Scuttlebutts' Friday fish fry, my lady and I decided to taste its cuisine. I won't waste any of your time and I'll get straight to the point; the food was mediocre at best. We both had a Friday fish and it was dry, overcooked, and the flavor was in desperate need of life support. I... more

We tried to have breakfast here Saturday Morning, but arrived at 11 am, and was told they stop serving breakfast at 11 , Approx 4 groups waiting for a table, including us heard this and left. We went back on Sunday, there was no line at 10 am. We were seated by the window, providing the perfect tourist view. We... more
