Founder’s Room

The Founder’s Room restaurant in the beautifully restored Bucyrus Club pays homage to the original Founder’s Room of 1920.  Our active dine-in deli is open Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. until 2 p.m. and serves a full menu of homemade soups, generous deli sandwiches (both hot and cold), salads andd beverages. We are open on Friday nights during Lent, for our very popular fish fry and other delicious menu items. We offer dine-in and carry-out. 

Come join us and experience great food and a great atmosphere in this hidden gem we call the Founder’s Room.

Friday Fish Fry

This is not your ordinary fish fry! Join us every Friday during Lent at the Founder’s Room for a new take on a Wisconsin favorite.

Make your reservations now by calling 414-294-4808. 

Note: We’re pretty full during peak hours, with dining room tables sometimes not open until after 7. But still try! You also can try and grab a seat at the bar … and why not try carry out? It’s available from 4 to 7:30 p.m.; call 414-294-4816. Also, make your reservations ASAP for the next month. Tables are filling up fast.

We take pride in our fish fry, and it shows. We offer all the favorites, with the same service, quality, attention to detail and value you have come to expect from Skyline Catering and the Bucyrus Club — but with Chef Conor’s unique twist.
