In a rural corner of Fond du Lac County, there’s a family-owned supper club that’s been delighting generations of diners. Blanck’s Supper Club is a classic Wisconsin supper club that dates to the 1950s. It’s a place that’s thrived despite challenges over the years, and it’s worth seeking out. Here’s why.

On October 1, 1952, Bob and Hazel Blanck became the owners of a small tavern in Johnsburg.

Located in the same building were their living quarters, the tavern itself, and the town's barber shop, situated where the coat racks are in the front bar today.
Eventually, the barber retired, and not long after, the Blancks decided to expand the bar by knocking down a wall.

They invested in equipment that allowed them to grill steaks and broast chicken. Their business grew, with much of it stemming from wedding and funeral dinners, since the local church lacked a basement for such events.
They later expanded their menu with a fish fry and changed the name from Bob and Hazel's Tavern to Blanck's Supper Club. It became a popular local fixture.
