Nice family restaurant. Decent food and salad bar. Often very busy, but servers do a great job with fast, friendly service. Can get loud, and reservations recommended for Friday fish fry. read more

The food is always great, all you can eat shrimp on Thursdays and Friday Fish fry. Service is always welcoming and friendly. This is old school so the ambiance is a little not super great but who cares when the food is good!! read more

If you go out to eat in this area, there aren't a ton of good choices. Put this place on your list as somewhere worthy of a try! We took our party there on a recent Friday evening. The parking lot was packed, as was the bar and waiting area. Fortunately, we had called ahead and were immediately seated. On the way to our table, I noticed the generous salad bar. I was excited to give it a whirl. Our waitress was efficient, just not overly friendly or engaging. She dutifully took our drink orders and came back a short time later with our old fashioned drinks and a Tom Collins. The old fashioned were muddled, if that is a make-or-break for you. Everyone liked their drink. The menu was a solid supper club menu; a little something for everyone. Our party had two cod dinners, a walleye dinner and a ribs/chicken dinner. We then took a stroll to the salad bar. In addition to two soup (clam chowder, cheese) the actual salad portion offered a wide array of choices. It was very good. While dining, I also noticed it being frequently refreshed. Our meals came with good timing for the completion of our salads. Each of the fish dishes was well proportioned and was appropriately hot. Our ribs/chicken diner love their ribs. They waited an additional 25 minutes for their 1/4 chicken and said it wasn't worth the wait. Aside from the dining room being somewhat noisy, it was your standard northern Wisconsin supper club dining area. Overall, the service could have improved with a smile and a check on the need for a second round of drinks. I eventually requested a redo of water and did get a full pitcher in return. The price was reasonable, the food was good. Would I return in the future? Definitely. read more

We had a great meal here after a long hike. Retro decor that borders on downscale but the food was excellently prepared from quality ingredients. The old-fashioned soup and salad bar was right out of 1995 (in a good way) in the selection of and appearance of the food. You will not regret getting the fish! The soup was also excellent. As seen in the photo, portions are generous. Service was warm but not distracting. Tables were widely spaced letting us get cozy and have private conversations. We started early, and watched it get quite busy by 5:45. read more

Visited the restaurant on a Friday evening for the advertised Prime Rib dinner. Arrived at 4 pm and was seated promptly (had a reservation). Drink order taken and brought to the table quickly. Ordered whiskey manhattan and would rate it at a 3 out of 5. It was quite harsh, not a good quality of whisky. Salad bar was fresh and adequate variety of items to choose. Five of our party ordered the prime rib medium rare. It was just warm and tough. Overcooked and not tender at all. Hard to cut and not much flavor. For the price of about 23.00 it was valued at 2 out of 5. Will not return! read more

As north woods places go, this one is pretty good! Our waitress Megan was an absolute delight. She was kind, patient, and helpful. Of the 7 of us, 6/7 had great meals. The last was so bad it was...I don't even know. The inside is kind of grandma's living room with the heavy curtains and low ceiling but I'm into it. We would definitely go again! read more

The food here is amazing including the elk burger. I've had some from a few different places but this one was the best. The service was top notch. The waiters and waitresses were very patient and nice. The overall atmosphere of the place is very cozy and nice. I can't wait to go back!!!! read more

Appearances sure can be deceiving. You wouldn't expect a place that has a big sign saying they offer 'Great Steak & Swimmies' to actually serve EXCELLENT steak and seafood (and lake food, too.) But, they do. My parents and I took the trip to Haugen recently when I was up at my cabin in Chetek. My dad had came here with my maternal grandmother once, and has raved about it ever since, so my mother and I finally got to go, too. The decor isn't special, but it has it's charms. They have a salad bar, which allows me to enjoy a plate of salad that has bacon bits, sunflower seeds, and pasta salad (along with soup!) pre-meal. Honestly, I wish more places had salad bars. Is this a Wisconsin thing? I ordered an old fashioned, with Brandy as they do in the great state, and it was delicious. I also ordered their special seafood special. Shrimp, 2 huge prawns, and a giant piece of walleye. All entrees come with a potato side, so I got baby reds. The food was excellent. My dad's ribeye was a perfect rare, and my mom's fried walleye (really light breading) was good, too. Huge portions, too. I had a solid second meal with mine. All in all? If you're within 30-40 miles of here, check it out. Don't judge this book by it's cover, k? read more

When you're in this part of Wisconsin on a Friday night it's not a question of what you eat but where. Every eatery serves a fish special. Tonight it was broiled cod slathered with butter and I must say it was not too bad. The place was packed! All four of us had it! The only thing that was different was the potato. The server had a great sense of humor. Unfortunately my sparkling water was flat and in a small glass and I was offered no refills. read more

Friday is best day to go. Place really hops then & fish fry can't be beat. Food OK. Friendly, horseshoe-shaped bar that is good for conversation, unless it's loud karaoke night (Friday). Lots of local flavor. Located near US Highway 53, about a mile from the Hwy. V exit read more

I would second all the other 4 star reviews. We have always had good if not excellent food, great service and enjoyed the friendly atmosphere. Drinks are always full measure and reasonable. Good food, good people reasonably priced. What's not to like? read more

This place has the feel of an old supper club. The bar stools are old and need replacing, but the bar is horseshoe shaped and a great place to have a before dinner drink. The bartender was very friendly and everyone around the bar engaged everyone in their conversation. My husband and I had the traditional Friday night deep fried fish. The pieces were large and my hash browns were the homemade kind, not frozen. They have a salad bar with home made soup. Our soup was stuffed green pepper and it was delicious. If you still have room after all that food, you can make your own ice cream cone or sundae. The staff is friendly, the portions are generous, the price is right, and the food was very good. read more
