    Doesn't look like much from the outside. But good food awaits. Large portions. Small bar where you wait until seated .

    Every time I am in minocqua I never forget to come here. Let's start with the service. The same couple of woman and a man have been running this place for some time and I absolutely love their humor and hardworking spirit. Another thing about this place is their perfect menu. First of all, they always service some tiny dessert as a free appetizer, which is so delicious! Not one thing on the menu isn't good, and everything has an amazing amount of salted butter included. The bread here is my favorite part, as it is buttery, salty, flakey, and PERFECT. I always come home with a loaf and I never feel like anything is overpriced here. I love this place

    Try Lake Placid's homemade fruit pies! Several flavors available. Their cranberry/raspberry pie is the best pie I have eaten. Make sure you have your 'portions control' in place before consuming these pies. 9" diameter pies that weigh a ton using the best ingredients! Outstanding dessert for your Northwoods family and friends. Ask Denise what homemade pies are available...pies sell out quickly especially during summer season.

That said, our waitress was very pleasant, and was in many ways, the perfect waitress... She didn't badger us, but she also did not ignore us ... that is a tightrope a waitress has to walk, and our waitress appeared to be a Wallenda in the waitress world. One other minor complaint: there were three of us in our party and one of us was still eating, while the other two had finished and the waitress began to clear the plates from the two who had finished. This was slightly annoying to the two who had finished eating, but honestly, the person who was still eating didn't even notice. As for the food, which many might feel is more important than nitpicking waitress performance, let me just say that all three in our party thought the food was excellent. The blueberry pancakes were really really good!! The biscuits and gravy were also outstanding (however, it perhaps later resulted in flatulence, but even if there was a causal relationship that is of course no fault of the chef, and likely unique to the person effected) Again , well done on these homemade biscuits !!

I wondered is this a Manitowish Waters thing I'd like not to believe that but not a good look for your town. A bar/restaurant further up the road gave us great service with a smile. So we got fed outside of town a bit. Bad look just go elsewhere

    To start with, the place is very cool on the inside. It has an amazing antique bar, and just as the…read morename says, boat memorabilia everywhere. The staff was terrific, too. Our server, Leah, was very pleasant and met our every need. I'm extremely picky about tartar sauce and she brought me out plenty to try and then when I loved it, more to enjoy with their excellent fries. I thought it was the best I've ever had in a restaurant. We all enjoyed our meal and my daughter loved her Fettuccine Alfredo especially. My walleye sandwich was incredible, too, especially since that tartar sauce was so phenomenal. One thing that really caught my eye was how hard the hostess was working. I don't think I've ever seen someone of her generation with such an amazing work ethic. It was kind of fun to watch her do her thing. If I had a company of my own locally, I would definitely be working to hire her. I didn't get her name, a d she looked awfully young to own the place. She acted as if she did, however. Amazing!

A great Wisconsin staple. Husband and kid both got the fried cod. I got the broiled (so happy for that option as I love fish just can't do the breading). Everything was hot and delicious. Baked potatoes were delish and huge !! The bar has a great selection of tap beer and I also had a great cranberry vodka (from northwater distillery) that had a little spice to it with diet sprite (thanks for having diet!!)
