It was a nice touch to have a musician on the outdoor patio. Nice selection of sauces and a menu with many options. The ribs were tender and not dried out. They didn't separate from the bone however. They were not fatty. Chicken was a bit under done and under smoked Brisket fell short (sliced) as it was tough and dry. I can see why one would want it chopped because it was difficult to cut with plastic tableware. The vibe of the place was a teenage hangout place. Many large groups of teens coming in and hanging out outside seating areas and also filling up the small inside dining area. Beer selection left much to be desired. There were brewery signs decorating the inside yet those breweries and beers were not available.

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...

We went for a decently early dinner and were able to make reservations as well which made it very convenient. We were seated promptly and our waitress was very kind. I also appreciate a place that knows how to make a good old fashioned and has a nice salad bar! That's the true north woods experience. White Tail remains absolutely beautiful and charming as it always has, this building is historic and there's truly nothing like the ambiance in there especially with the live piano. The Ahi Tuna small plate was delicious. I wouldn't consider it a "small plate" it was huge. There is no skimping on portions here, that's for sure. Two of us decided on the Perch Fish Fry, and the other opted for the Cod. I can speak on the Perch because that's what I had. It was seasoned perfectly, not too breaded, and it was HOT. My only minor complaint is that there were a lot of bones that I had to pick out/be careful not to eat. For my side I got the cheesy grits and I haven't stopped thinking about them since. They are by far in the top 5 most delicious things I've ever had in my entire life lol. I tried a piece of the cod, the fish is good but I'm personally not a fan of the batter breading, or the type of fries White Tail serves. Finished the night off with a Brandy Alexander but was kicking myself after I saw that the Banana Banshee is back on the menu. I came here a few years ago before the new ownership and asked for one and they didn't do that at the time, so I'll definitely be getting that the next time we come in.
