    Good food. Prices are a little high. Being from the east coast, it was nice to see somewhere have a Ny style crust. It was probably the most accurate one I've had out here. I was a little confused since I expected the other pizza to be little square slices but it was a thin crust pizza cut in 8. No complaints for me. The Brooklyn came with 3 toppings but the ones I chose didn't do it justice. Probably would be good with pepperoni. The margarita pizza was not what I usually call margarita but it was very good non the less. Appetizer sampler was on point. All in all, I will definitely go back and look forward to trying all the other delicious sounding pizzas and sandwiches.

    I was very excited to finally try Paul's Pizza Den. We've driven by many times on our way to and from other locations in the area but never had the pleasure of stopping but today was our day! Atmosphere: Cozy and cabin-esqe. Service: Servers were friendly. But ordering, receiving food and beverages, etc. was so incredibly slow. Our server never came back to see if we were ok on drinks or to ask how the food was tasting. I had to flag the server down to get a water. And I swear when the bill came she just threw it down and ran off. Food: We ordered an Antipasto salad to start. It was large enough to share and thought it tasted really good as we devoured the whole thing. For pizza, it was hard to choose because 1. All of the pizzas have the most adorable names like Panda Bear and the Hula Bear 2. All the pizzas had toppings we enjoy. So we decided on the Blazin Bear. As the name implies it has some spicy toppings like banana peppers and jalapenos that give it a little kick along with sausage, mushrooms and olives. We ordered a medium to share which was more than enough for 2 people. The toppings on the pizza were a good combination. The structure of the pizza left something to be desired. The outer edges were crispy but the bottom center of the pizza was not. It was more soggy than crisp. Now it could be because of the toppings, too many or too watery toppings can cause that. But I'm not certain and was just disappointed by this. Overall great tasting pie but could be a little crispier. Even though the service and pizza had some flaws, I will return to the Paul's to eat. I love pizza and will chalk these issues up to a busy Saturday night with a small staff. Certainly it's worth a second stop to try another pie!

    The award winning smoky pizza. 5 stars. Unreal.

    Not sure what else to say besides this is the best pizza I've ever had!!! We had the award winning smoky pizza and it was unreal. Such a unique amazing pizza. The hickory sauce was unreal and the cranberries on the pizza were perfect. We can see why it's award winning. I have nothing bad to say about this place. It's amazing and we will now make it a regular stop when we come up to the cabin.

There are about 8 tap beers, and a cooler full of cans and bottles, plus the usually liquor selection and some wine. Decent menu. Apps, burgers, pizzas, sandwiches. The bartender was friendly and attentive, despite being busy. Why not 5 stars? The wings need some sauce or ranch/bleu cheese. Otherwise they were excellent.

I am the Purple Heart veteran with the service dog that was refused service from Ben S's review. Yes, I'm aware that this is illegal and I can report him. That said, most of us dog handlers prefer to educate people rather than cause them legal trouble and this was what I attempted to do. When I tried to do this quietly and privately, he loudly told me that he was not interested. I left without pushing back or causing a scene - the last thing I wanted to do was make it more difficult for other dog teams. I did leave a business card describing ADA laws pertaining to service dogs on the table in a last attempt to make it a bit easier on the next dog handler who walks in the door. When we walked out and saw the tribute to veteran's on the sidewalk in front of the business, it really added insult to injury. I certainly didn't feel the love so I hope they do right by other veterans; maybe they only want the ones who aren't disabled to visit...

Good pizza?? Ive had better pizza from a gas station in a pinch. I'm pretty sure there was no fresh ingredients on it, even had canned mushrooms. I wouldn't have even bothered writing this, if it weren't for the fact that I paid severely for this mistake all night and into the next day with trips to the bathroom, thanks Hoots.

We opted for the Heavenly Hibiscus which is a raspberry mimosa with an edible flower. This drink was delightful and fresh! For food, we split the charcuterie board which was filled with grapes, almonds, two types of cheese, crackers and salami. We also split the pizza and were happy that we could pick our own toppings for each side. One pizza was the perfect size for two! There was one canned beer and a sangria ordered as well. While truly a 5 star experience, I did think it was odd that the plates and water cups were paper as everything else was elegant and upscale. This observation is not enough to damage any lower score, yet I am still calling it out so others are aware / genuinely curious on why this would be ? None the less - Thank you for the lovely experience, The Creamery! Looking forward to my next visit.

Once again, the Yelp reviews helped me find a restaurant we will certainly return to in the future. It was a Friday night. The large gravel parking lot was about half full. The building, overlooking Lake Pokegama, looked like many other up north bars. Walking in, I really wasn't sure if we were in the right place. Happily, we were. My dining partner and I sat at the bar. We were greeted right away by the bartenders and asked for our drink orders. The drinks had a great pour and were affordable. We were asked if we wanted to eat and promptly received menus. The menu had a lot of stuff. Appetizers, sandwiches, burgers, pizza and fish. Having read reviews I was leaning toward the beef sandwich, while my dining partner wanted pizza. When the bartender said those were her favorite menu items, we decided to get one of each to split among us. Good choice! The sandwich was packed with meat and cheese. I could have drank the au jus; it was so good. While it was $22 (with fries), it would have been a big sandwich for most people to finish. The pizza was fantastic. The only pizza I enjoyed more was from a place in Nashville. The crust was top notch. The toppings were generous and prepared well. My dining partner and I are big eaters; we still had four (4) big pieces left at the end of our meal (it was great cold). It wasn't nice enough to sit outside on their large patio during our visit. We plan on returning here frequently in the future and will give it a try (weather permitting).

Words and even pictures can hardly express the beauty of this 26 acre island. Surrounded by a huge lake, the island was covered in lush, green, nature with a few deer grazing and hanging around, fireflies at night (and mosquitoes of course...mosquito spray did hardly nothing to deter them lol), and the sun lighting up the sky well into the night. I had no idea what to expect and this trip has easily been one of the most memorable, fun and unique trips I've been on. The scenery is continuously breathtaking and all of the staff and people who work on the island went above and beyond with their hospitality, making sure guests were comfortable and enjoying themselves. The group I arrived with and I had luggage put on one boat and the rest of us gathered into a Duffy for a 5-10 minute ride to the island where we docked inside the big cabin, where we later played pool, ping-pong and enjoyed each others company. Our cabins were clean, with AC, and little amenities like an iron, coffee maker, hair dryer and a comfy bed to sleep in. The lake is only a few minute walk from the cabins any of us stayed in, as well as the middle area where we spent most of our time. The small dining hall provided 3 meals a day and there were so many games for us to play outside on the grass. Badminton, corn hole, footballs to toss, soccer balls, croquette and a chest filled with so much more.There was even a tennis court! There was a dock and little platform in the water you could swim out to, where many of us spent time during the hot day. They also had paddleboards and lots of towels! Some people paddled around the island too! The 2 night stay wasn't nearly enough time lol we all loved this place so much it was like summer camp for adults. Some of us wanted to make a pact that we should have other weddings here for our group because of how much fun we had together. The staff worked tirelessly, from setting up everything, serving food and keeping the drinks flowing amongst all the guests. To the girls at the bar, you ladies were amazing, the couple of blonde girls, the girl with the shorter light brown hair, especially the young lady with the beautiful, dark curly hair and stunningly bright green-blue eyes. A huge thank you to the older gentleman at the bar, one of the younger blonde guys who read our minds when we wondered where the restroom was, Ashton and the guys who drove us to and from the island. I'm so sorry for not getting all your names but just know guys rock and the wedding would not have been the same without each and every one of the staff. I will never forget ya'll.

The door to go out to a patio like area was not working- it stayed unlocked. You could hear everything in the cabin- ppl voices, foot steps, no courtesy quiet. The food was over priced - the breakfast was blah - hard boiled eggs, yogurt and fruit. If you wanted something more than that it was up for purchase. The only good food was the burger. The ferry schedule wasn't really based on the schedule that was provided. There was no TV in the room. Sad to say for a place with such potential it was seriously lacking . It's not worth the money $300/night for nothing
