Smorgasbord for Summer

A sure sign of summer, the popular smorgasbord at the Dorf Haus, a Bavarian-style supper club, near Sauk City, will include the third Mondays of each month in June, July and August in addition to the traditional first Monday.  Summer Smorgasbord dates are June 3, 17, July 1, 15, August 5 and 19. The  all-you-can eat smorgasbord draws 250 to 350  fans from a 60 mile radius and beyond to the hamlet Roxbury, near Sauk City, according to Rebecca Maier-Frey, co-manager of the family-owned supper club.

The Bavarian Smorgasbord, served from 5 p.m.-9 p.m., includes Knackwurst, Schweinsrippen, Sauerbraten, Wiener Schnitzel, Pork Schnitzel, Hocks, Spatzle, Kartoffel, Nudeln, Kraut and other rotating German specialties, plus salad bar and desserts. The cost is $17.95 for adults, $5.50 for children 5-12, and $3 for four years old and under.

In keeping with the Bavarian atmosphere, Buttons & Banjo plays polkas and more from 5:15-8:30 p.m. at each smorgasbord.  

The Dorf Haus, celebrating 60 years, is a second generation family-owned restaurant and banquet facility, noted for German and American food. The Dorf Haus continually earns reader poll awards for best fish fry, Wisconsin Brandy Old Fashioned, supper club, buffet and more. The Monday night Smorgasbord has been a tradition for 37 years.
