- DDENISEWisconsin •1 review4.0Dined 7 days agoYou never get a bad meal here. The food is amazing. However some things have slipped over the past few years. The host, Hunter,didn't seem to have a clue. He made us wait 20 min. while he seated others who came in after us even though the restaurant was only 15% full, luckily another host came along and seated us. That made for a bad start. The waitress was excellent but the young man who removed plates and filled water glasses kept reaching across us instead of moving to the side of the table. The soda and iced tea was so watered down that it might as well have been water. The steak and salmon were excellent. Cooked perfectly. The potato both mashed and scalloped were tasty and the brownie ice cream sundae was incredible. Our waitress, Allie(sp) was on top of everything. So, no longer a 5 star but still good.More infoMerrill & Houston’s Steak JointPrice: Expensive• Steak• Beloit•4.7
