Came here for their Friday fish fry. I got the haddock and my husband got the walleye. The breading…read moreon both was extremely light and both fish were great. They bring out rye bread and coleslaw to your table after ordering your meal. It was a BUSY Friday night so our server Dana did her best to accommodate us and refill drinks and be attentive but again, it was very busy. When she started describing the homemade desserts my ears perked up when she said double chocolate cobbler with a big scoop of ice cream on top.... When it was brought out it was simply a hard brownie with a scoop of ice cream next to it. Disappointing. BUT, the banana fosters cheesecake? That was the best cheesecake I've had in a long long time. Would go back just to have another slice. Ambiance is the definition of north woods Wisconsin supper club. They do take reservations, just **not** in the summer on a Friday night- it's first come first serve. Overall, it was a nice experience. Quality food!

We keep trying .. have been here a half dozen times as we are local. But we are out…read more A few weeks back we entered a bit before 7pm The look on the greeters face was like "oh not more people" .. but there were only 3 active tables with one other finished. Turned out sour lady was also the server. Very unwelcoming The food was so bad I sent it back. The "smothered" pulled pork (the menu's description) had a squirt of sauce and was not hot - not warm even. As my husband was eating I just cancelled. The robotic manager said he wouldn't charge me !! ... seriously I didn't even bite into the sandwich. I joked he could reuse the bun. He offered a dessert. I'm not going to eat a dessert for dinner. I declined. Such a beautiful remodel of an old bar. A shame the food and service just don't hold up.

Whitman's is a longtime local bar and grill in Hazelhurst. I've been driving by since we purchased…read moreour local property in town 35 years ago. For a variety of reasons, last night was the first time we stopped in for a burger and beer. I'm sure it won't be the last. Orders for food and drinks are placed at the bar. You can eat at the bar or one of several tables just off to the side. Food and drinks are cash only and the kitchen doesn't have the capacity to serve groups larger than six to eight. They have a small but decent selection of tap beer and of course a full bar. The burger I ordered was as good as any I've had at a local bar and grill -- thick, juicy, topped with cheese, onions, mushrooms, and a tasty (though generic) BBQ sauce. An ample amount of fries (skin on) completed the basket. They offer a number of set combinations or you can "build your own" with any of the ingredients they stock in the kitchen. I might not be a regular--I only occasionally indulge in burgers like these--but I'll come back for another, hopefully sooner than 35 years from now.

This Supper Club is a Northwoods and Wisconsin Supper Clubs book stalwart.

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...

The chicken soup tasted good but was cool, the chicken wrap was mostly iceberg lettuce with a little bit of chicken, and the grilled cheese had limited cheese that was not fully melted or toasted well. I would eat here a lot if the quality was improved, hope they see this review and take it as friendly ideas to improve upon! Personally, I'd gladly pay a a little more for better food.

Um. No. Don't come…read morehere to eat. Drink yes. Food no. After waiting an hour and 20 minutes for fish fry and a pizza, (food still has yet to arrive), the bartender advised that on a Friday, it's pretty normal to wait nearly two hours for a pizza. It's not nearly 10pm, it's empty and food is god knows where. I get it that this place is quintessential up north and has been here forever, but after waiting 30 minutes for a beer that was warm and wrong and now two hours for food, I'd recommend bringing snacks to quell the hunger while you enjoy the ambience. I hope it's good. If I'm still awake when it arrives. Two stars for the location.

Someone needs to do quality control. Those ribs should not have been served. The baked potato option was good the brocolli option was bad, tasted odd left it on the plate. Mentioned it to the server with no response. The salad I had was a little wilted and one piece of greens was black and shriveled on the end of one of the stems. The old fashions were spot on. The bartender, he's top notch. Service was just okay nothing special. This will be the last time for Thursday nite special for us. The meals alone were 54 bucks and the only good part of the meal was the bread and broasted chicken which were both prepared fresh. Their Sunday all you can eat chicken dinner is really good.
