You will also meet up with boaters, anglers, snowmobiles and locals out to grab a bite! My favorites on the menu are the Steak Bites (gotta love house made ranch!!!), the Club sandwich, the Broasted Chicken is arguably the best around, and you can never go wrong with a Wisconsin Cheese Curd!! The burgers are fantastic too! Half pound and hand pattied... delish! Also, the space is a LOT bigger than it looks from the outside so large groups and events are easily accommodated. We had my mom's Celebration of Life here and everything went off without a hitch. The staff took care of every single thing we asked for. Plus... there's a beautiful deck on the front as of 2024 so that adds even MORE space! In short... great food, great local bar where everyone is a "regular", and awesome staff!!!

Both entrees also came with a side salad which was a pleasant surprise! All of our food was delicious and fresh and came very quickly.

My husband had the Bayside Burger with fries with house seasoning. The fries were SO good- hot and fresh. No complaints on the burger. I had the jerk chicken wrap with grilled chicken. My only complaint is that it really needed more chicken, it was mostly lettuce. I was advised to add jalapeños to the wrap for an extra kick and I'm glad I did. The flavor on the jerk chicken was great. Finished with a slice of banana cream pie which was good. Would definitely come back.

Brunch review…read more Atmosphere was nice. Service was overall good for a group of 8. Food: we loved the unique menu options. Biscuits and gravy with peperoncini gravy and yuzu blueberry basil pancakes - we were so excited about the delicious twists on the classics. The flavors were really good. The only reason we were a bit disappointed was the textures, the pancakes were overcooked and not our favorite texture and the biscuits were a bit dry/crumbly. Drinks: were awesome. The Keoke coffee cocktail and the Coconut Lavender Lemonade Mocktail were fantastic! Overall we enjoyed it and would come check it out again!

In the dining area there's both seating inside as well as on the outside deck which had live music playing when we visited. The menu here changes all the time it seems as they source from local farmers and you can really taste the freshness in their meals. We got the pulled pork sandwich, pulled pork nachos with spinach artichoke dip, fried cheese curds, and the Swedish meatballs. All were excellent. A surprising standout for me was the homemade honey mustard that had great depth of flavor and paired really nicely with the cheese curds. They also have very affordable NA drinks as well as local pops with unique flavors like butterscotch root beer. The real draw of this place is their whole pay what you can concept which allows anyone of any budget to enjoy this place. With the three entrees, appetizer, and 3 drinks we decided to pay about $70 for 4 people to encompass both taxes and gratuity.

This is my first ever one star review. Everything was awful... the room was sparsely occupied, but…read moreno one was there to immediately greet and seat. We were pointed to a booth with instructions to "go for it". Pretty casual greeting, but okay. No ask about coffee until the server eventually came to take our food order. The wait for food was excessively long. While waiting, we observed a table of 4 that got up and left after waiting to be acknowledged. When our food arrived, it was not what we ordered. We stated the error and the server responded with, "That's what you told me". We were unwilling to wait for the corrected order, settling for what was given to us. The food, all of it, was tasteless. (I'm not exaggerating.) After we paid and left, it occurred to us that none of the employees or managers smiled or showed any enthusiasm for guests. The lack of appreciation was insulting.

The two of us opted for the grandest option of All You Can Eat, which included a choice of potato, shrimp, and the salad bar. The salad bar area is small and rather crammed to the side of a back dining room, but it absolutely delighted me. There were rolls and butter pats, and a whole array of salads that felt like the same mix you'd find at a great Midwest potluck. I sampled several, but I absolutely LOVED the broccoli bacon salad and the Snickers salad! My husband opted for the simple lettuce salad with croutons. Service was consistently slow during our visit, just as a matter of timing--they looked short-staffed during the lunch rush, and the workers were being run off their feet! They were moving nonstop. I had broiled fish with shrimp and a baked potato. Perfectly cooked, flavorful fish. I loved the breading on the shrimp. I had butter and sour cream along with my potato. I didn't get seconds. My husband had the standard fried fish, shrimp, and fries, and really enjoyed them, and he did request a few more pieces of fish. They came out, piping hot. I want to come back here sometime and try the pie!
