Super disappointing visit to this restaurant. Only 3 other tables were full and it took nearly an…read morehour from the time we sat down to finally get our food. Incredibly slow service. The garlic bread that came with my ravioli was so tough I literally could not bite through it. My bf ordered prime rib and asked for medium but when it was delivered, the bartender said "best we can do is medium rare because it's the end of the night." Pretty bad service when you're paying $60 for a meal for two. My ravioli was mediocre at best. Ambience left something to be desired. There was a giant pile of extra chairs and random junk next to our table. I would not return and certainly not recommend it to others.

I was with my girlfriend & her family for a weekend getaway. Being from the Milwaukee area, we…read morewanted a Fish Fry on a Friday night dinner. This place was highly recommended so we went. Entering, the place is large & can easily accommodate groups of 6 to 8 people bc even for a Friday with it being busy there are more seats than you'd expect. I got the Cajun Cod with Sweet Potato fries. I didn't want beer battered so it was great to find a place that offers grilled, Cajun grilled, or Beer Battered for all fish fry's. The pieces were quality good size for a grilled cod, 3 quality sizes. Plus comes with good portion of side sweet potato fries for $1 extra. My girlfriend got the Fried Perch which was two massive pieces. Most of the table got a side salad instead of another side. Food was probably a 4 to 4.5 star. Not jaw dropping but not just basic at all. Negatives: Need a drink menu. I am not going to order a beer if you aren't going to give me what is offered. Simple as that. They brought a small pitcher of water (no more than 1.5L) for a table of 6. Water was room temperature & no ice at all. Waitress did write down one of our orders down incorrectly as cod instead of crab cake. His crab cakes didn't show up for another 20min. The poor part was that the waitress never came over at all during the 20min to give an update. Heck, didn't even come over to ask us anything or give us a refill on water. The owner of the restaurant came over but he was only asking how everything was. That was when we brought it up after 5min of the waitress being gone. The owner did give us a piece of carrot cake & was overly nice which is main reason this is a 3* & not a 2*. I usually am not harsh on reviews but the issue more was on the lack of communication between the waitress & our table. By the time he got his food, every single one of us was done or asking for a carry out box for their meal. While the owner was very nice, there obviously was a lack of communication between him & the waitress during the 20min wait bc even she was asking "can I get you something else?" not knowing the owner already had already given us some cake in a carry out container. I get Friday's are busy but don't put Crab Cakes on the menu (he got a side salad as the side so they didn't need any sides) if it takes 20min to make it or that nobody on a Friday night is ordering it at all that you can't skip an order. Also, I think the other table of 6 next to us was not happy on how long their food & drinks were taking. It was a bummer bc we were all really looking forward to a Friday Fish Fry in the UP.

The waitstaff are super friendly and their recommendation of deep fried whitefish was spot-on. The owner dropped by to say hello and he was really cool. The "pine cones ", which are deep fried mashed potatoes in a roughly cone shaped package of tastiness, are a nice accompaniment to the rest of the meal. The side salad was very good and having mostly local beers on tap was a very nice touch. Can't wait to try their prime rib night the next time I'm here on a weekend.

The flavors are spot on and the quality really stands out. The atmosphere has a laid-back, relaxed vibe that makes it easy to enjoy your meal, and the service is consistently good. The staff is friendly and attentive without being overbearing, which I really appreciate. My only small complaint would be the portion sizes for the price. The food is excellent, but I did wish there was just a little more on the plate given what you're paying. Overall, it's a great spot for fresh, homemade food in a relaxed setting.

Quirky. Cozy little restaurant on US Highway 2 just outside…read moreof Hurley. Excellent food. There seems to be a lot if things assumed here: 1. All specials (appetizers, entrees, desserts) are written in a chalkboard in the entry hallway. These specials will not be repeated by waitstaff nor will they appear in writing anywhere but in the chalkboard. 2. The protocol on arriving is to walk through the entry hallway, take a sharp right into the bat area and wait, standing at end if bar until someone acknowledges your presence and registers your party. 3. You may wait awhile until anyone acknowledges or waits on you. The food here is excellent, as is the service, once you pass step 3 above. Serving sizes are generous. I highly recommend the "specials", I had the broiled Lake Superior whitefish in a bed of carmelized onions with garlic butter sauce. Suoerb! Talking to locals, this is the best food in the area.

But after l the soup & some cheese curds I took most of it back to the hotel. Everyone else enjoyed their meals as well. One ordered dessert to go. She went with lava cake. They served it with cherry pie filling on top. The next day she said the cake was hard and dry. Only a tiny spot in the center was soft. The next time we stay in Hurley or Iron Mtn we will eat here again.
