    barramundi special
    Carie F.

    stopped by Remingtons on a Friday night wanting some good food but not really sure what we were craving. was pleased their menu had a lot of different options ranging from wraps, fish fry, pizza, pasta, etc. started with the nachos with chicken and it was fantastic. huge portion and lots of toppings. I opted for the barramundi special. it came with soup or salad & I very much enjoyed their long list of homemade salad dressings. the barramundi was deliciously cooked and I loved the citrus sauce and fresh vegetables it came with. I found the portions and the value of the food to be very fair for the prices. staff was also extremely pleasant to talk to and attentive. great stop!

    flies and bugs next to my head while I eat!

    Your website said you had lobster tails but when we arrived we were told, "that's only on Fridays". When we asked about the soup of the day, we were told " we don't have a soup of the day anymore". When we asked about the 8 oz Filet Mignon, that was listed on the menu, we were told they were out. Sitting next to the window by the river was a great view but I suggest you wipe the flies and bugs off the window sill that were 18 inches from my plate! This was gross and so easy for you to remedy. Won't be back!

    HUGE appetizer CALAMARI! Get it!
    Joyce W.

    The calamari appetizer was my main dish and I humbly proclaim it to be one of the best and original style of preparation. It's crispy, you can taste the Parmesan in the crust, the beautiful gravy did not dampen the crunch of the crust and the calamari was a flattened plateful wide of billowy sweetness. Sorry about that, but it was that huge and good and new tasting to me! Susan served us and she was a personable sweetheart. They have a full bar. In and outdoor/patio seating. Good range of items on their menu. There is also a bar seating area, as well. I also had their delicious chili. For $1 more one can graduate from the cup to a bowl. The walleye fish was a beautiful thick and juicy slab also topped with that heavenly sauce. A tasty stop!

    Oh my gosh what a fun little hidden spot. We're still fairly new to the north side of the city, so still exploring all of the new-to-us spots. Over the weekend, we stumbled upon Remington's and are so glad we did. From the outside, it kind of looks like a small-town dive bar, but when you enter it's gives all the good vibes. The atmosphere and ambiance is like being up north. The whole place is very cabin-like from the the log-built walls and thick wood bar, to the very cool, rounded walkway to the back wrapped with rocks floor-to-ceiling. We sat in this space, which doubles as a waiting area, for about 10 minutes until our table was ready. In the meantime, we sipped on well-priced cocktails. I opted for a simple vodka soda, my dad enjoyed his old fashioned, and my husband and mom had some cold beers. We were sat at a four-top in the back near the windows which overlook their patio and the river. Again, a north woods feel that's just cozy and calm. Our lovely server (I believe her name was Rachel) greeted us and helped us decided on some good menu items to order. You'll find substantial pub style bar food but also more custom and homemade items. We started with the calamari steak to share, which was very interested. Good, but interesting. Definitely the first time I've tried calamari prepared that way. It came with lemon butter which was tasty. From there we all tried to order something different to kind of share and try. My mom and I split the cajun crusted walleye and the cedar planked salmon. Both we're super duper good. Very flavorful, and properly cooked. Big an of the paired garlic mash and veggies on the side, too. I'll definitely look forward to returning to enjoy their patio when the weather permits!

    Homemade cookies!

    First, my server Pat was really nice. Since I'm from out of town she made recommendations that were spot on! She also spent time telling me about all the great attractions in the area. 5 stars for her!!! The decor is unique! This place used to be a bowling alley, so it's really long. It's like a rustic log cabin inside-- really nice. They have a large bar for those who want to hang out meeting new people. I didn't have time, but next time for sure! The people seem to be super nice and welcoming. The food. I ordered cod fish and chips, and my side was potato pancakes. The fish was super crispy and moist! The tartar sauce was yummy too! I would order it again. I had a choice of sides and picked the potato cakes. They came with a little side of applesauce. I think the potato cakes were cooked ahead and reheated -- they were not tender in the inside. A cute surprise was a piece of rye bread and butter on the plate -- Pat said that is typical in Wisconsin. It was soft and yummy. I ordered mac and cheese to go, and added bacon. It came with a side soup or salad -- I got clam chowder. The Mac and cheese was pretty good but the noodles needed to be cooked just a couple minutes more. The soup was amazing? And for dessert the cookies are a good but. All in all, a really fun place to eat.

    Shrimp
    Cheryl D.

    It was a Tuesday night. Neglected to post this review as it was saved in drafts. So it has been about 7 months since we were there. It was COLD that night. Made a reservation. Walked in. Waited 17 minutes standing at the door while the hostess walked away after taking the information of the group ahead of us and made drinks and served food at the bar. Wearing a few too many hats. She yelled over "I will be right with you folks" but took an uncomfortably long time for that to happen. There's a seating area in between bar and restaurant seating where customers can wait (and many open seats there), but we were not offered that option. Just left standing there for a very long time. Bar was full. Then there was no apology or explanation for being left standing at the door as frigid air blasted us when customers came and went. A line formed. Finally got seated. Then we waited even longer for a server to appear despite many empty tables. Ordered drinks and waited another 12-15 min for the server to come. Drinks took another 10 minutes. The wine was awful and priced way too high for the quality. Water served in tiny plastic glasses but at least it was cold. Salad came and was very tiny and just so so. Tiny portion of dressing. Carrots hard and dry. But edible and I was starving. Entrees took another 25 minutes or more. Burger was marginal. Four shrimp arrived with about 2 tablespoons of stone cold veggies and a very lukewarm potato. When the butter doesn't melt on a baked potato, there's an issue. No salt or pepper on our table so we had to grab it from an empty table. No candle or tablecloth. Paper napkins. When you shell out $29 for four shrimp with cold sides, a candle would be nice, even flameless. Or flowers or something besides a flat empty table. Tomatoes on the side were pale and tasteless. Tater tots were not too bad. Bread crumbs were severely lacking in quantity, as was the garlic and sherry in the de jonghe. See photo. I was hungry and by the time the server checked on us, I was nearly done eating. So it goes. They now charge 3.25% on credit card transactions, so ready to shell out extra unless you've got cash. Will definitely give this place a pass in the future given this experience. I now understand the reviews complaining about long waits and poor quality food, but we took our chances and now we get it!! Just really not able to handle a crowd well. There are plenty of other places with superb food (try Harry's!) at a similar price point with absolutely outstanding food and service. And the wait times there are not bad. Bartenders at Harry's are also fantastic. Rethink this one. I give lots of slack due to staffing issues, but only when the establishment is apologetic about the extra wait times and other issues. No such luck here. Server also barely checked on us. I would've sent my wine back but she didn't come back for so long that I just drank it. But it was really a bad wine. Overall, not worth it for what we got. We actually went out for ice cream afterwards because we were still hungry. That never happens! I'm always usually stuffed with leftovers.

    Honestly it was the first time we went. We took family for birthday celebration and it was absolutely lovely. You will expect substantial pub style bar food with many homemade items such as their ranch dressing and amazing chili. We enjoyed the atmosphere is very cozy and calm inside. Simple food done very well. Great staff, friendly and did a great job looking after us.

    Cup of French Onion Soup
    Erin P.

    Love this spot. Friendly. Charming. Attentive we stopped in, late afternoon, on. Friday. Had the French Onion Soup to start with and it was just as it should be- cheesy and delicious. I do wish there had been a little more onion in the soup but it was still a solid effort and worth having. My guy and I both had fish- the Poor Mans Lobster and the Beer Battered Cod. Both were delicious, moist and cooked perfectly. The beer batter was not greasy at all and had a great crisp. Make sure to get the potato pancakes. YUM!!!! So, so, good. Looking forward to going back and trying other things on the menu.

    One of my grandmas favorite places to eat, She says the same thing every time we eat here "when you walk in, it feels like you're in Eagle River". Classic American food, quick and friendly service. The reuben was a 5/5 for me!

    Bear Paws
    Erin G.

    My husband and I love this north woods cabin style family restaurant. The bar has a nice specialty cocktails list as well as wines. The beer menu only listed bottles but I could see they have at least 15 beer options on tap. I'm not sure if they're not included in bar menus because you can see the taps? Maybe they are included with dinner menus but I didn't sit in the dining room. My husband and father in law love the reuben, saying it's one of the best in the area. I love their crab cakes and often order them with a side caesar, which is standard but good! On this trip, I ordered to go and it was a thirty minute wait (I called at 6:00). The kitchen is small so you have to be patient but it's worth it. While I waited one of the managers initiated an awkward confrontation with staff which I found uncomfortable. I understand the serving station is directly next to the bar, but there should be a more discreet way to go about that. My husband and I ordered the bear paws, reuben, and steak sandwich. I was pleased that they asked for doneness on the steak sandwich and even more pleased when it came medium rare, as ordered. If you are in the area, I urge you to check out this laid back bar and grill!

    Wonderful hand breaded and pan fried perch fish fry!....in butter! Only in Wisconsin!! (Not the greasy beer batter!)

    I moved from Milwaukee to Illinois 20 yrs ago and really miss the Friday Fish Fries. We came here and I had their wonderful hand breaded and pan fried perch fish fry!....in butter! Only in Wisconsin!! (Not the greasy beer batter!) We sat outside and it was beautiful on the river and great service!

    Date of visit: May 7, 2025…read more After a very long hiatus, we reassembled the trivia team and did battle at The Elevens Lounge, part of The Annex at Foxtown and were pleasantly surprised overall by the experience. Parking is plentiful in the lot directly outside as well as the lower lot. The space is quite large and in a ] shape, with a mix of low tables and high tops. The low tables are not ideal for eating, I'd recommend grabbing a couple of high tops if you're planning to dine in. Speaking of dining, the food is quite good, if a bit on the expensive side. I went with the French Onion Burger (sans onions, naturally) and even though it didn't say it on the menu, it came with a side of fries that were quite good--crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, the fries that Five Guys aspires to offer but never quite achieves. The fries were so plentiful I filled up on those and some of my husband's pizza and saved the burger for dinner the next day, which reheated very well and was on a fantastic bun. Service during trivia is always a crapshoot but Quadrea, better known as Q, did his best to keep things moving, though he didn't write anything down and kept forgetting things, which in the end probably slowed things down more than anything. All that being said, we liked the venue and will definitely be back for trivia again.

One kid ordered a BBQ chicken wrap without the BBQ sauce or tomatoes and got fries for the side, my wife and other kid split a half pepperoni and half cheese pizza, and I got a Caesar chicken wrap with sour cream cheddar cheese tater tots for my side. We also got mozzarella sticks and wings with a sweet and sassy BBQ sauce. The mozzarella sticks were Italian breaded, which I like. They tasted good, but $9.50 for seven sticks that are on the smaller side is a bit much. The wings, however, were great. Decent size and you get 10 of them for $12. The older kid that didn't want BBQ sauce in his wrap ended up enjoying two of the wings, which has a subtle kick to the sauce. We'd get these again. The pizza had a little too much sauce, but it wasn't hard for my wife to scrape off some of it. She and the younger kid both like the pizza, which is good because the younger one can be quite picky at times. Both the older kid and I enjoyed our wraps. I thought mine in particular had a good amount of really crunchy chicken. He liked his fries even though I thought the one I tried was a little bland. I appreciate that the tots seemed homemade, but I really didn't taste the cheddar or the chive, so I probably wouldn't get those again for the $5 up charge.

The restaurant is slightly awkward in its layout, with a small dining area and a bar in the front plus a larger dining area in the rear. We were promptly greeted by the bartender and given a larger than necessary table--though it did let us spread out a bit so I wasn't too worried about it. We could not see how busy the rest of the restaurant was but we imagined it was fairly steady given the wait. Since we had not seen each other in a while the time passed easily and we didn't mind the wait. Staff was all nice and friendly and ensured that our water glasses were kept full.
