The staff follows suit. Food should be made from the heart-otherwise it poisons you. This will poison you. I watched them ridicule (like a game for them) snidely any person who had questions or was confused by how to place OR pick up-If you don't like customers-maybe choose a business where you don't deal with them on a regular basis? AVOID-Smokin J's in Crandon OR Sweet Butt in Rhinelander run circles around these A-holes!

It was a nice touch to have a musician on the outdoor patio. Nice selection of sauces and a menu with many options. The ribs were tender and not dried out. They didn't separate from the bone however. They were not fatty. Chicken was a bit under done and under smoked Brisket fell short (sliced) as it was tough and dry. I can see why one would want it chopped because it was difficult to cut with plastic tableware. The vibe of the place was a teenage hangout place. Many large groups of teens coming in and hanging out outside seating areas and also filling up the small inside dining area. Beer selection left much to be desired. There were brewery signs decorating the inside yet those breweries and beers were not available.

We ordered a pizza as an appetizer, which arrived very quickly, and was very good. Two of us ordered wings, three of us ordered three piece cod, one of us ordered walleye. The wings arrived about 15 minutes after the pizza. They were delicious. More than a half hour later, the walleye & one cod dinner arrived. At that time, our waiter announced that they ran out of cod. About 20 minutes later, after we all had finished our meals, she brought one more cod dinner-after telling us they ran out of cod. All four fish dinners were to include fry bread, but only one dinner included it. The facility and the location are outstanding. It's too bad the restaurant is struggling to provide consistent service, similar to what you may expect with a new startup.

If I could change one thing -- the seasoning used on the cod was overly yellow and tasted like something you might get at the grocery store with a lot of MSG in it.

We noticed that their menu had a separate area for wings so we knew they weren't your typical heavily-battered, deep fried wings. Fisher's is just a tad off of the main drag but still easy to find. It's located on a lake which was hard to see in the dark but I'm sure is beautiful during the day. I believe they have a handful of resort cabins for rent but again, it was hard to see in the dark. The bar itself is pretty small but very welcoming. They had it decorated nicely for the holiday season making it feel cozy. It's one of those bars that everyone turns to look at you when you walk in. The difference with this spot was everyone said hello instead of just staring at you. There was one bartender that took really good care of everyone. When we first arrived I was afraid we wouldn't be getting food (couldn't smell any cooking and there wasn't anyone else eating) but I think we were just early for dinner. We went with 2 dozen wings; sweet chili and hot buffalo. While they took a little longer than expected they were WORTH EVERY SECOND. These are some of the best wings we've ever had, anywhere. They were extremely meaty, perfectly crispy fried, and sauced. We actually finished them all - delicious. They have a special on their wings on Wednesdays. I noticed they have a pizza deal on Saturdays and a chicken dinner deal on Sunday. Service was great, wings were great, drinks were a good pour for a fantastic price. This will absolutely be our new place for wings.
