Thus came along with bacon and eggs. The coating on the French Toast was very good and was not too thick or thin. I had the Country Fried Steak. This was one of the best offerings of this that I have had. The sausage gravy that was on top was extremely good. Nice bits of sausage and not "gloppy" if that's a word. The deep fried red skin potato nuggets were super. Sourdough toast was good and my eggs were cooked to order. Looking forward to going back! Thanks to Chris for the great service. 11/16/2019 (still a ) Sara "The Lurker" lol, you had to be there to get it, provided awesome service. Coffee is good here. My wife ordered the Strawberry Blintzes, which she said were some of the best. I had the Country Fried Steak again. Wanted to try something else but my wife tasted mine last time and wanted more. So I shared and swapped her for a blintz. This will continue to be a go to spot.

Giving a one because zero isn't an option. Called yesterday to confirm hours of operation and…read moreinformed him my group would be dining there all week. Arrived to an empty parking lot and empty dining room. The owner rudely said we needed a reservation. In the past never required. I questioned why I wasn't informed of the reservation requirement during the phone discussion and he agreed that I had spoke him, but offered no apology for lack of information during the call. When I said we would go elsewhere for the week he replied Good Luck" with a hand gesture dismissing further conversation. He must be from the big city because country folks respect their customers.

When I was a kid, our yearly vacation was to a primitive Fishing Camp in Land O' Lakes Wisconsin…read more No hot water, no tub or shower, primitve toilet and no AC. I learned early I didn't give a damn about fishing, and even less about 2 weeks in a primitive fishing camp. Every few days we had to go re-stock supplies (mostly beer for the grownups) and it was a trip to Boulder Junction to do so. I couldn't wait for those trips to get away from the crushing boredom of the camp. Back then, (60's) Boulder Junction was speck of fly-shit on the map of Wisconsin, quaint and gemütlichkeit as it was. In the 21st century, it ain't much bigger, but it sure has grown in vibe. It's now an artsy-crunchy village of shops and places for the well-to-do who have their summer joints in the vicinity to have a cocktail and a bite to eat. The Guides Inn had the highest YELP rating and was close to our Hotel on the night we arrived, so it got the nod. It's a Wisconsin Supper club, dressed a notch up. The gruff fellow at the bar (who was gruff at some other folks, not us) eased up and took care of us admirably, crafting divine Brandy OldFashioneds which balmed the edge off the 400mile+ ride from Chicago. There were a bunch of us, and they could not fit our entire group at one table, so we were in 4-top tribes. Not perfect, but it was OK. There was an amuse-bouche relish tray-haven't seen one of those in a while. Typical of Wisco Supper clubs these days, there were surprises on the menu. In this case Walleye Cheeks. If you've ever been to a fine Spanish/Basque resto, you might have had Kokotxas (Cod Cheeks) which are among the finest Tapas you can get (and an apt delivery system for Garlic, Chilis and Olive Oil). There's a pocket of very tender and tasty meat on the side of certain fishes heads called "cheeks" (it makes sense, n'est ce pas?) and on a Walleye, which is a fine eating fish in any preparation, the "Cheeks" are indeed a delicacy. They were breaded/fried here and totally yum. The onion soup was, as well. My Entree was Beef Wellington (another dish you might not suspect from a Wisco Supper club in the middle of nowhere) and it was top-notch. Accompanied by Wild Rice-There's the Northwoods signature. Wife had a regular Filet Mig which she reported was fine. Service was good, and the decor a step up, like I indicated previously, from a garden-variety Wisco Supper Club. The CHECK, however, was closer to downtown Chicago than the map might suggest. Not the bargain bill you usually find at Supper Clubs, but I'll say the dear prices were commensurate with the bread and circuses. A pleasant evening in a pleasant place...

The rooms, halls and the common room were spotless. I have been in much newer facilities that were not this well maintained. The beds were comfortable, the rooms large...they have a nice sized pool and a good sized hot tub. Like the rest of the place the pool was clean. Set in the middle of town, it is within walking distance to a wide variety of local business from shops to taverns and eating establishments. I would recommend the Acorn to anyone looking for a great nights stay.

Had a large cup of Blue Heeler (my favorite) and a breakfast sandwich. Both hit the spot. Service was friendly and I enjoyed my breakfast and coffee on a comfortable lazy-boy chair in the back room.

She stood there and stared at me . . . didn't say anything. I asked, are you out of one of the ingredients, and she tells me she's never made one before and just stands there awkwardly. Ended up asking for a vodka cranberry instead. We ordered mexican street corn dip to snack on while we waited for the pizza to be done, and it was quite bland--it really could have used lime juice or maybe just more cotija cheese. The pizza had good flavor all around, so there's that.
