What a little find! We've past this place a million times over the years and didn't think twice…read moreabout it. This week, while doing laundry at the local place in Woodruff, I walked down the street to the closest place I could find to get some lunch. Fritz's was open.... being a bar I had my doubts.... and I walked in. First of all, no cigarett smoke. Even though I was by myself, I felt perfectly at ease sitting at the bar. I was given the food choices (no menu) and selected pound burger with pepper cheese. Accompanied of course by a glass of a local Wisconsin beer on tap. I took one bite and said to myself, what have I found! Crazy good burger. Bun was toasted and perfectly crispy. Ample amount of cheese. Onions served raw or grilled. Meat was juicy. Next time we were in town, I took my husband and he thought the same thing. A glass of draft beer and two burgers came to a total of $10. I left a $3 tip. I was that impressed. I love a smoke free bar. Nice job Wisconsin.

A new bar/restaurant occupying an old closed bar. Been empty for years. I was hungry. It was open. I went in. At first typical NW bar. Very welcoming bartender with a good sense of humor. TVs all over the place. I ordered the ribs and was blown away. They were delicious. The drinks are free poured and healthy. So happy we have a new great place. I recommend it wholly. I'd give it a 5 but it's still a bar that serves good food. Not necessarily a family restaurant

All we heard from our local family was that we needed to go. So the day we were leaving we made sure to hit up the place as we left town. Bartender was an interesting character. Seemed unfriendly at first, but then warmed up and we were bantering in no time. Although I still got a weird vibe from him. I will say this, he made a bang on spicy bloody Mary and it is by far one of the best I have had in years! We definitely will go back when we come back to visit our family.

This was my family's first time at Slo's Pub and we couldn't have been happier. Speedy service,…read moredelicious food (with even some unique menu choices), great prices and the lake views are wonderful. We stopped in on a Saturday for lunch and were told to seat ourselves. The place was busy but not packed. We grabbed a hightop with lake views and perused the menu. The adults ordered old fashioneds ($5.50) and the kiddos had kiddie cocktails ($2), plus an appetizer of mini corn dogs ($8.50) as we were all starving. From there the adults ordered "Greg's Taco Wrap" ($11) and the Walleye Fingers Basket ($10.50) and the kiddos ordered from the kids menu with a 9" Cheese Pizza ($5.95) and a Hamburger with Fries ($4.95) with cheese (not sure if we were up-charged for that). Note, water is self serve by the front door. The food all came out quickly and were very large servings. I couldn't believe how many fries came with the kids meal! The Taco Wrap was the highlight of the meal, but it was all delicious. Nitpick would be a lighter batter on the walleye fingers, but it was still good. We ended our meal with the kiddos playing some of the arcade games, which were surprisingly only $1 a play. My only regret is I wish I would have ordered the duck wontons. Next time!
