Like wineries in the Midwest, I'm also very cautious about distilleries. Just because you can make Jenn or bourbon doesn't mean that you should. Not the case for this place. We tried an assortment of cocktails. I ordered one variation of a Manhattan and really enjoyed it. This place is punching above its weight. Highly recommend stopping in.

I had the old fashioned and it was balanced well, and the bourbon tasted great! I also got the Walleye Filet, and I have to say, it was the biggest filet I have ever gotten anywhere! It tasted great on top of a bed of wild rice, and I loved the dill sauce drizzled over top. I would definitely come back and would highly recommend Sherwood North to anyone in the area!

Hometown favorite for my husband. 9 of us stopped in last night and had drinks, beer, pizza and…read morepopcorn. I had a 6 pack pizza, 4 meats and 2 cheeses. Wonderful is all I have to say, super cheesy, plenty of meat and the sauce was great. Not sure of the brand of pizza but for frozen I give it a thumbs up. Drinks and beers are super cheap, comparing to Phoenix prices of course. The atmosphere is exactly what I want from a small town bar. Juke box playing, groups yapping and football on the TV's. Great service from bartender Mitchell. They sell beer sticks, which I'm an addict of and somehow I forgot to order some. Just an excuse to go back!!

We got there before the crowd arrived, but it definitely filled up closer to 530 or 6 o'clock. Upon entering, we were surprised at how open the space was. Like they could fit multiple extra tables in there if they potentially wanted to. There's a great bar space also that had a few people at it when we entered. We sat in a booth and our waitress came to us right away. She was super friendly and helpful. All of the food that we ordered was delicious. We got bruschetta, French onion soup, Grilled cheese and tomato soup, pasta carbonara. There wasn't a bad meal in the bunch! So glad that we took the recommendation and tried this place out. It's going to be on our list when we're up north next time. Definitely check out the bathrooms!

Second time hopping on Gull Lake Cruises. Perfectly managed,…read morewe were told when to check in, board, and what to expect. The ride was 2 hours, beginning to end.

It's your classic bar and grill with a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. One fun surprise was the unique popcorn they served--it had a little kick to it and was really tasty. All of our dishes came with little American flags, which was a festive touch. The kids also loved checking out the fun statues outside while we were there. The only downside was that our beers were served almost warm, which was a little disappointing. Other than that, we enjoyed our stop and appreciated having a place to celebrate the holiday weekend.
