Today's experience was the final straw. When I saw how little alcohol was poured into the super cheap Walmart opaque plastic cup of my friends drink, I commented on it to the 18 year old bartender. And she called the owner/ manager over. The owner proceeded to pour the alcohol In His drink out into a tiny one ounce plastic "shot glass" and then flowed the small remainder onto the bar (which she left for me to clean up). She was talking down to us the entire time and saying that she isn't in the business to give away free drinks. Absolutely absurd! A better approach might have been to pretend the customer matters and not try to humiliate them in front of friends and employees! No wonder the place was almost empty at 7:30 pm on a Saturday night of the biggest boating weekend of the year! Won't be back and will make sure everyone I know hear a this story.

I look back into the kitchen and I see this scrawny, little weenie starting to cook a pizza. My first question is how he got to the restaurant because he looks like he can't even open a car door. Whatever, he made it, whoop de doo.

Wifey had a hamburger with a slice of raw onion. I went with the cheeseburger, pepper jack and a slice of raw onion. Split an order of seasoned fries. Burgers were large, guessing 1/3 to 1/2 a pound, coarse ground beef cooked perfectly for us. Fries were piping hot and nicely seasoned. Everything was excellent. Food came hot to the table. Service was fast and friendly. Highly recommend without any reservations. Will head back on a Friday for the fish fry.

Inside, it's all lodge-like knotty cedar on it's high ceiling and walls, and while that may not be novel for this part of the state, it is especially good quality, well-maintained, and nicely designed compared to the interiors of many of the other well-worn taverns in the area. However; that does not carry over to the bar seats that are well worn-out and held together with electric tape. So who cares, no one can see it once their butt is firmly in place. Highly recommended: Prime Rib breakfast every Saturday and Sunday from 8a.m. til 12 p.m. Tender, juicy, lightly browned, served with tasty au jus, eggs your way, and hash browns made "special" with the addition of onion and melted cheese, on request. Noteworthy touches: an adorable, elderly poodle mascot behind the bar, a lazy calico cat with her name embroidered on her own stool, and customers are welcome to bring in their well-behaved pups, as well; I would be remiss not to mention a small but adequate selection of slots in a side room near the screened back door. The requisite beer and alcohol are available but served in plastic "glasses", so do like the natives and drink beer from the bottle. Full, decent quality pub grub menu. Ask the bartender for directions to Trader's tiki bar and food on the adjacent camp grounds on the Wisconsin river. It's called an island and it has the vibe. If the upscale, aggressive bar scene in Chicago is beginning to seem more chore than it's worth, the quasi-dive/restaurants and supper clubs strung like wooden beads on a coir chain along the by-ways of this close-in Driftless Region (Google it) of Wisconsin are well worth the scenic, pastoral drive and time--especially if you're not looking to hook up, fall in love, get married, and have kids. It's simply a great way to unwind, relax, and just be yourself by yourself, with your best buds, or SO--and return home with change for your ten-spot jingling in your pocket.

We were very excited to find that we could rent Kayaks at Governor Dodge…read more The concession stand is located at Cox Hollow Lake next to the parking lot. The have food, ice cream, souvenirs and rentals. They rent canoes, kayaks, paddle boards and paddle boats. We chose to rent kayaks (sit-on kayaks) for one hour, which was $16/person. You must also leave a $20 deposit, or your driver's license or a credit card as the deposit. We could have added a second hour for only $5/person more, but we were short on time. Included with the rental is a the kayak, a paddle and life jacket. Once we signed the waiver, we were give the keys to four kayaks and headed down to the lake. All the rentals are parked on land to the left (looking at the lake) of the beach. We found our kayaks and took off on the lake. We had a great time. The lake was calm, but we had a nice breeze to keep us cool. It's not a huge lake, but big enough that we didn't feel crowded with the other water-adventurers. Nearing the end of our hour, we returned to land, locked up our kayaks and walked back to the concession stand. We retuned our paddles, life jackets and keys. To cap off our trip, we ended with some ice cream. I suggest getting a con from the counter. My one scoop cone was HUGE and delicious.
