King Buffet is one of our family's favorite restaurants! The food selection is large and delicious, the venue has a great atmosphere (very family-friendly!) and the owners are incredibly good people! I know on Mother's Day, the prices were raised, but I did see quite a few more seafood dishes and ot...

the food is always great...i love the waitresses, but i dont care for the owner, she just drinks too much to be tasteful.
I grew up in Wausau and can't even count how many times my family ate at Carmelo's. Everytime the food has been amazing along with the staff. Once you become a regular they greet you with your name and a smile. I have now moved away to Minneapolis. I crave Carmelo's food since I haven't been able...

The CHIMI's are the best, especially the shredded beef. ask for a shot of the "Dusty Bottle", its a house special. accidently shook the ketchup bottle too hard once,and there is still some on the ceiling above the bar (5 years later)LOL. GREAT TIMES!

I am a regular customer to King Buffet and normally it is very good however this Mothers Day they posted a sign on the door Mothers Day Special $11.95. There was nothing special about the menu except the inflated price they charged their customers.
A favorite Italian food of mine is linguine with clams. When I lived in Wausau, I ate at Carmelo’s on a regular basis, and always had linguine and clams. It was my favorite dish for many, many years. I moved to Phoenix about 12 years ago, and have been looking for a place here that serves a dish eve...
I went to Granite Peak with my family last winter and before we left the hill for the night we asked them for a recommendation for a place to eat. They told us about Carmelo's which is right below the ski hill. We tried it and boy were they right. We will definitely be going back to Carmelo's whenev...
I can not think of any place in Wausau that I enjoy dining at more than Carmelo's. The weekend environment is always lively and I have never found myself enjoying my time with friends and family more. The owners and staff are always a pleasure to be around and the food is excellent. If anyone is l...

We went to Hong Kong on several occasions and then we went yesterday and in the middle of the meal my boyfriend was looking behind me. I turned around to see what he was looking at and it was a large COCKROACH and I jumped up and suddenly I spotted another one on the floor. But thats not all my boyf...

Great service, food came right away, and very hot, friendly wait staff, just too bad that there were some loud obnoxious people talking next to us but sometimes that can't be helped. A great place to eat.
WE LOVE THE PEKING, BUT GOT STUCK WITH A TERRIBLE WAITER, OUR 1ST BAD EXPERIENCE THERE. AT THE TIME IT WASN'T THAT BUSY YET, BUT AFTER HE TOOK OUR ORDER WE NEVER SAW HIM AGAIN!! WE HAD TO ASK THE HOSTESS IF SHE COULD BRING US MORE RICE & ANOTHER WAITER CAME OVER TO BRING US BOXES FOR LEFTOVERS!!! ...
that person down below from Stevens Point obviously is overreacting. My grandfather owns this restaurant and for one, we dont serve bread ROLLS, they are pieces of garlic bread. and for two, we would NEVER serve it burnt black!! So i stop being harsh over nothin. and the hostess that invited you in ...

Living in Wausau area for many years this was one of our favs. Moved to the Marshfield area and still come back and now have Marshfield area folks that make the trip as well.
Neat atmosphere it really looks like the inside of a mine, but the menu is very limited. For one thing they don't have a fryer so onion rings french fries or the like are out of the question. They don't even serve mashed potatoes. The staff was very friendly though. I guess it is a good place if you...
I have been a regular here at Carmelo's for ten years now, and plan to be until I can't anymore! This place is great, always busy, but sitting at the bar chatting over drinks, makes time fly by and next thing I know, our table is ready! Waitresses all have great sense of humor and know how to inte...
This is authentic southern Italian cuisine and most of the menu items are excellent, though we have had an occasional disappointment with one dish or another over the years. From the delicious house salad and soups to the varied entrees to the outstanding desserts, the food is almost always very go...

This is the best place I have eaten in years. I went with some friends on a Friday night and I have never had that much fun eating out on a Friday night. We were greated as we walked in and the hostess took our name and told us it will be a two hour wait. This place was jam packed and people were...
Mino's isn't a place for your typical wisconsinite. It's an authentic place, however, with old family paintings in a italian styled old house. You can often see the owner (Mino) in the place so that's nice. If you order pasta, you'll get a good helping, but if you order meat or fish don't expect ...
Great little place! Pizza and pasta were delicious! Will definitely patron again when in town!
