More like 2.5 Our steaks were good...not great. I've had much better at The Freight House in La Crosse at a lower price. The sides were a OK, but not spectacular. Asparagus was under cooked and "Lombardi's Hash Brown's" were nothing out of the ordinary. I would think that a side that carries the restaurants name would be unique or different, but these were just plain old Hash Brown's. The best side we had were the Onion Strings that apparently come with every meal. My biggest problem with our experience had nothing to do with the food. It was a Sunday night after a Packer game, so at a restaurant named after the greatest Packer Coach of all time, I expect there to be a lot of people having a lot of fun. Heck even I was wearing an Aaron Rodger's jersey. Something I would normally never do at as classy a place as this. That all being said, I feel that the staff let things get out of hand on this night. There was a Birthday party for a woman who had obviously been drinking since before the game started and the other 6-7 people at the table were also quite well lubricated. I have no problem with people having fun, but don't put a group like that smack in the middle of the main dining area. I thought about asking to move, but didn't see anywhere that would've been any better. Our server was nice and they are wheelchair accessible. Even though this was not a good experience, I will give them another try. Just not after a Packer Game!

Oh boy. If you're ever in packer country, this is one of the only decent places to try around here. Lambardi's is an awesome steakhouse. Old school steak joint with plenty of lambardi memorabilia. Start with the shrimp cocktail and the caesar salad. Then gotta try the Porter house steak. Wow. All that. Simple, juicy, beautiful. Others at the table had the cheese burger, chopped steak, and strip steak. No complaints. Also try the cheddar mashed potatoes. If you're in the area, this is a must try.

Tried the Herb crusted Walleye and the signature Ribeye and was not impressed. The garlic cheese smashed potatoes were very good but the Walleye and the Ribeye was fairly bland. For the price would not recommend this restaurant. Hate to say this but you can get a steak with better flavor at a chain restaurant.

The french onion soup was good with a very creative presentation. Our party ordered steak, lobster, vegetarian entrees and everyone enjoyed the meal. Very classy and service was great.

Great place to eat! Good atmosphere and good food. The brussel sprouts are amazing!! This is a great place to go with a group of people so you can share sides.

Work brings me to Appleton pretty frequently, and Appleton is a pretty bustling college town, considering it is in the middle of nowhere. Lombardi's is the Harry Caray's of Appleton- a lot of sports memorabilia, and they serve big steaks. Their baked potato soup was delicious, and I absolutely loved my sweet potato side that I had with my steak. Steak was also cooked perfectly. I sat at the bar, as I was by myself, and the bartender was very accommodating and friendly. A little pricery, but I'll be back!

Pretty underwhelming experience. Two items of clarification: (1) I've been traveling a lot to major cities (Vancouver, San Fran, Atlanta, etc) so dining in the middle of Wisconsin may not be a fair comparison and (2) I'm not a big red-meat eater so I did not have any of their steaks (which most of my group raved about). That being said, these are my personal reflections. Foremost, service was excellent. We had a large group in a private room so our server Allen was top-notch. He mentioned living in L.A. previously so I can only guess he trained in a much different than setting than here. But the food was totally average in my mind. The maple glazed pork chop came recommended but I found it to be pretty bland. The smell of maple, which immediately reminded me of breakfast pancakes, didn't translate into the flavor. The meat was cooked a bit on the well-done side although once I got to the middle of that huge chop it was much more tender. But the flavor was pretty dry and bland. The sides were all in the same category, nothing really stood out. Lobster Mac 'n Cheese: not really cheesy at all, and this is Wisconsin! The Caramelized Brussels Sprouts were highly recommended and I didn't not care for them at all, other than a hint of mustard they were quite bland. I cook this vegetable at home often, and with better results. The appetizer round was probably the best overall. We passed around a mixture of jumbo shrimp (good), bacon-wrapped sea scallop (cooked well but the flavor was a bit odd, maybe because there is no sea for thousands of miles), crab cake (huge), and some bruschetta. Their new pear salad was talked up a bit so many of us upgraded the standard house salad. It sounded great but the lemon poppy seed dressing was too much. Tossed in to thickly and was too sweet in that it overwhelmed everything. The table ordered a trio of desserts to share, their Tuxedo Cake, their B-52 cheesecake, and a newer coconut cheesecake. These were all quite good, although the coconut flavor was not nearly as prominent as hoped in that last cheesecake. Now don't get me wrong, the food was not bad in anyway, but for the price, when compared with spending the same (or even less) I've been to tons of restaurants around the country with much better flavors across the board.

Service was fantastic but thats because we were one of 3 tables in a large place. I started with a wedge - HUGE portion and in house made blue cheese was probably the highlight of my meal. My steak was good but to be honest for the cost - there are much better options. I would not hurry back although it was cool to see all the pack memorabilia, Meh - just ok.
(3)John R.
Not bad...not great, perhaps a little predictable. Appleton's local version of the Del Fricos or Mortons dining style has never been quite as good, although the check at the end of the evening indicates such. When the GIANT backed potatoes come out luke warm...that's not good, and although I'm not a hug fan of el Dante style vegetables, raw is really not a good thing. The great atmosphere makes it the perfect place for a special evening, but at these prices I think you can do better in the Fox Cities.
(2)Christopher C.
I read the reviews and was skeptical, but I was blown away. The decor, atmosphere, and the steaks were top notch. One of the best, if not best steaks I've had. Perfect highlight for lifelong Packer fan on his first trip to Lambeau.
(5)Prosper B.
First off : "huge portions" does not a great dining experience make. The steak I ordered and had prepared to the chef's recommendation was below average in taste and texture. It was the pedestrian meat you'd get in any chain steak house. Despite the overpriced entrees i must say the service was spot on. I despise restaurants who pay a licensing fee to use a celebrity's name as if Coach Lombardi opened this joint.
(3)Louise O.
We were here at a large corporate private dinner. I do understand the difficulty in churning out 60 steaks at the same time so just a disclaimer in all fairness. Steaks came out a little inconsistent and tended to be on the overdone side. Portions were huge as previous Yelpers mentioned and the mashed potatoes were delicious. Decent wine list for the area and the bartenders/servers are nice and will provide small tastes of wines by the glass if you are picky like me.
(4)Stephen F.
Local steak gets it right. It took me while to check this palce out but my wife and I were impressed. Dry aged steaks were very tasty, large servings and excellent service. On point for what a steakhouse should be.
(5)ANDY K.
Great tasting food! Huge portions! I have been to this place one time and was quite pleased with the service and the food. Top notch all the way. I had ordered a salad with blue cheese and the waiter absolutely drowned the the salad with blue cheese chunks because, as he knowingly put it, "A person who likes blue cheese generally really, really likes blue cheese and they can not have enough". Thank you dear sir for reading my mind and turning a pre-dinner salad into a 6 minute love affair with a crumbled lover! With drinks, appetizers, dinner and dessert we spent about $100 for two.
(5)Benji S.
Pricey but good. Had a ribeye, cesar, asparagus with a cab. Great place to eat if you want an upscale meal when you're staying downtown. After, there's tons of good places to drink.... It is Wisconsin.

We ate here because we wanted something other than bar food and didn't particularly want to leave the hotel. First - the server was pleasant, She had notes on the menu and didn't hesitate to refer to them when answering our questions. Second - the food was good, not great. We started the meal with the spinach artichoke dip. The portion would easily have served four people. There was very little artichoke or spinach in the dip. It was primarily an Alfredo type sauce. We both ordered fish; salmon for me (tender, well-prepared) and halibut for my friend (dry and tough). The entrees included choice of soup or salad. The salads were lettuce topped with large tomato wedges. My blue cheese dressing was excellent but the salads were boring. Our sides were very good. The twice-baked potato was wonderful and onion rings came with the meal. A tasty surprise because we didn't see them listed on the menu as an accompaniment. It should be noted that the salmon was altered to suit my preferences with help from the server. I did not get shrimp or "Florentine" with my salmon. I don't know if the price was reduced accordingly - I doubt it. Warning - this place is ridiculously over-priced. Being from the Chicago area, I expect to pay top $$$ for good steak and fish but this is excessive. I can get better food at local steakhouses for about $10-$15 less per entree.

Went here with a couple of friends hoping to have a good steak. We all agreed we were a little disappointed. The restaurant is upscale but the atmosphere had me expecting better steak. Prices were about average for a steakhouse and while it wasn't terrible I probably wouldn't eat here again unless I REALLY wanted a steak and there were no other options. Our waitress was top notch and did a great job. One of my friends ordered liquor and said he appreciated the heavy pours.

I don't normally comment on decor, but you sorta have to at Lombardi's. The whole place is covered with Packers and Lombardi memorabilia which honestly makes the whole place kinda dark and drab. Obviously if you're not a Packer fan it all just looks somewhat tacky, especially for what is trying to be a higher end steakhouse. My group and I shared appetizers including the bruschetta, fried calamari, and risotto cakes. The bruschetta was very fresh and quite good. I'd never had risotto cakes before; these seemed ok, but I wouldn't necessarily get them again. Had an interesting texture but not the strongest of flavors. The fried calamari was superb though, probably the highlight of the meal. Cooked to perfection, crispy and not oily, the calamari also came with a delicious lemon aioli. Absolutely recommend the fried calamari. The whole table had steaks for dinner. And the whole table said their steaks were overcooked a bit. Not bad enough to send the steaks back, but everyone noticed the steaks were overcooked. I actually don't mind my steaks slightly overcooked (rather over than under), but I had asked for the blue cheese crusting on mine. I fully expected just some dashes of blue cheese on top to add a bit of flavor, but no, it was as if a massive wedge of cheese had been crumbled and then whisked to a semi-liquid state. The steak was completely covered in a thick layer of blue cheese which was just so overwhelming. I scraped off 99% of it. We had a number of sides - mashed potatoes, mushrooms, etc. They were all ok, nothing worth remembering though. Overall, don't go in with high expectations.

The reason to go here is because of the name and the awesome decor that surrounds the rooms. Going here is something one should do if he is a Packer fan and is visiting, but for a steakhouse it is nothing too special. There are many good steakhouses where I live and this doesn't live up to them, but it is still good and tasty. I started with the Wedge salad and let me just say that you need to get the dressing on the side. I did not and I had enough blue cheese and fat to keep me full for the entire meal, but thankfully I did not eat it all. I had the Kansas City strip which was good, but nothing too much special. I also had some of the brussel sprouts which were a little bit of a let down. However, you get some skinny onion rings which are delicious and can easily suffice for a side dish. I did not have dessert though they looked good, huge though! I don't know if I would come here again, but I am glad I did because it topped off a day at Lambeau with some Packer history.

Best steak house in town. It's no wonder NFL teams say and dine here when they play the Packers. You can't go wrong here except by maybe putting your bank account in the red. The sides are heavenly--mashed potatoes stand out.
(5)Simone C.
I really enjoyed dinner at Lombardi's. The scallops appetizer was a great start. My steak was perfect and the lobster mac and cheese delicious, and a very generous portion. The complimentary onion strings were just okay; a little on the greasy side and more room temperature than hot. A great selection of wine and stellar service. The dining room is really beautiful without being stuffy. However, the next day's trip for burgers was lackluster. You would think a place that got steak so right, would get burgers perfect. Sadly, the sandwiches seem to be an afterthought at Lombardi's. The burger was charred on the outside and very, very rare on the inside. I had asked for "medium." A mountain of overcooked and cold fries does nothing for visual appeal of the plate. I would like to see less fries and perhaps a seasonal fruit cup or a purple cole slaw. A well-made slaw would be a nice nod to the area's German heritage. Even toasting the bun would have made a difference. In addition to the burger, I ordered the French Onion Soup. If you're a purist, don't order it. The croutons and cheese are served in the top of a hollowed out onion; plopped on top of the salty brown stock. There is a fine line between imaginative presentation and kitsch. The food should be be star, not the presentation. Again the service was perfect and professional.

Best place for a steak or crab legs in Fox Valley. Warning to women... kind of a "Man's Club' with all the Packer stuff all over the place. Everything is ala cart but portions are huge. Great place for a business meeting.
(5)Greg T.
had the pleasure of dining @ Lombardi's when the KC Chiefs were in town for a preseason game against the Packers...and they all were killing steaks @ Lombardi's. You'll find every typical cut of steak here..strip, filet, ribeye. most everything is prime grade. They also offer a couple of dry-aged options. Make sure to ask to see the meat tray before you order in case they have a special cut. Obligatory sides: garlic mashed spuds, broccoli, spinach, etc. Spinach was sauteed with a little bit of vinegar which didn't really agree with me. My filet was cooked nicely - medium rare which is def. pink in the middle. French Onion Soup: first time I ever ate a french onion soup out of an onion. yep, they serve their soup in an onion. a bit much for me but made for an interesting start to my meal. wish they has used a bit more gruyere... Service was top notch. If you can remember to ask to be seated in Christy's section. She will take good care of you. Enjoyed the football memorabilia and the vibe.

Every time I go to Appleton, WI, I come to this Steak House; most items are a la cart, but big portions. My favorite is the Filet and Lobster with a side of Mash Potatoes. Looking forward to my next vist.

We stopped in for dinner at 5:30 Saturday night.The place was empty.They told us they only take reservations until 8:00 so we could not eat here.l guess they don't want our $100.00. Business must be too good. I won't recommend Lombard's again.I have been here before and you pay too much for what you get anyways.
(1)Bonnie B.
I have never EVER seen portions this big. You think you're ordering a sweet potato? Did you know it's as big as your head? You want some onion rings? How about a pound of them? But of course they are delicious. This place is fun and they do a great job cooking meat. However, they don't really know how to cook fish here, so don't bother ordering it. Enjoy this place for what it does best-- huge delicious steaks and huge delicious sides. Ask to see the meat tray-- I don't know many restaurants that have this feature. This is a great place for people -- mostly guys, in my experience-- who enjoy meat. It's also a fun place to take people who are not from WI, just in case they were wondering what it's all about. (It's all about meat and the Packers.)
(4)Robert T.
Great atmosphere, especially if you like Packer history. Been there several times and never had a bad steak or meal. They make a great cocktail and service is great. Very pricy, however.
