    Honestly wouldn't be a place I would visit unless hungover and in the mood for greasy food... Which in my case worked in my favor... lol! If this is your case scenario then I would definitely recommend. Lots of deep fried appetizers that were fried to perfection! I had the deep fried Mac n cheese and it was incredible! Burgers were your typical up north fried buns with a greasy patty but definitely hit the spot! The bar itself was your rustic up north tattered bar. Would recommend if you're looking for the "up north" feel and food!

    Just drove into town, helping a hometowner return home. The most scrumptious bacon bleu cheese burger! Best I've had since Texas. Abe, our Metallica shirt clad bartender, gave us a warm welcome and excellent service. We came late and post season, but I hear the place can get insanely packed. The story of Abe's shirt...his wife got him the shirt from a concert she was able to attend, but Abe could not. I'm sure the concert was awesome. Sorry, Abe, but good on your wife for getting you that cool shirt! See you all real soon.

    Bacon blue cheese burger so delicious hard to stop thinking about it! I will be trying the rest of the menu for sure!

    This is by far one of the best burger joints friendly environment clean and ac is just right to cool off in the afternoon. Blue cheese homemade concoction they make in house is delicious could eat it on everything

    Great stop while we were here visiting! Good 'ol local watering hole but the girls were friendly and the food was delicious - we had the beer battered fries (OMG so good!) and the chicken strips. We'd come back if we were staying longer.

There's a small building for coffee/brunch, and a larger building with an outdoor covered patio for lunch/dinner. Bloody Mary's were delicious! The menu is very small, but all of us raved about our meals. Our group enjoyed breakfast burritos as well as eggs Benedict. I was able to order the breakfast burrito vegetarian which was appreciated. Also, their breakfast potatoes are FAB 10/10 cooked to perfection. The best part about our visit was the service. We were promptly greeted, and they went above and beyond to accommodate my toddler (making sure she had a high chair, offering milk and applesauce, etc). The waitress and chef were so warm and welcoming we will definitely be back!

Way way overcooked, incredibly dry. And be ready - cash only. Claim they can't get a signal for credit cards yet they offered WiFi. I just hate when the first time you find out it's cash only is when they hand you $75 bill. Nowhere does it say cash only - not on the door, not on the menu, not on the wall, nowhere. If you're cash only, mention it before people order. Sadly we won't return.

We prefer bar service over dining service, seem to be generally more attentive and the two staff work as a team. Brandon is waiting on us. He's friendly and good at customer service. Ordered the whitefish dip, baba Ghanouj, superior whitefish tater tots, tabouli salad, superior whitefish chowder, superior whitefish tacos with black pepper fries and a spicy crispy chicken sandwich and cabbage slaw. $111 They do charge a 4% transparency fund: employee retention, living wages, staff happiness. Written on the bottom of your bill. The dishes are scratch made, in house. Nice! The tabouli is too, has some mixed greens in it. There is something sweet in the dressing or the buckwheat, not my thing at all. Rest of the salad is good though. The baba ghanouj on its own is quite garlicky, slight Smokey flavor to it. It doesn't work with the pita crackers. Not loving this at all. The whitish dip is good. My hubby liked the sweet pickled for watermelon rind garnish, I didn't like them much. The spicy chicken sandwich on the brioche bun is really good. The chicken is super crispy. It's quite good. The whitish tacos are good. The whitefish seems to be blackened, really nicely. The fish is light and perfectly cooked. The whitefish chowder is so good! The tater tots are so delicious. No slouch here. Crunchy and so yummy! Food was so unique and quiet food. The side pepper fries are and slaw ate both a bit blah, compared to the majority of our flavorful meals Service is top notch.

    This particular location is a road side food truck carrying "fish & chips." I drove by it a couple…read moretimes before eventually stopping, each time there was at least one person ordering so I figured it had to be good. Fish options are cod, perch, walleye, and whitefish but perch was sold out at the time of my visit so I ordered the 4-piece cod. There were two people ahead of me ordering, which I took as a good sign as it was late afternoon - too late for lunch and too early for dinner. Fish and chips (aka potato wedges) are cooked to order, so there is a bit of a wait. The weather was beautiful so I took a few moments to wanders around. The others waiting for food were telling me it was the best they've had, so I was really excited when my order was up and the container was brimming with food. Service was 5 stars - the man working was so friendly and he was working really hard keeping up with orders. I was surprised there was only one person working. Food - I hate to be a downer, but it was not as amazing as I anticipated. It was very fresh and the fish by itself was terrific. However, I felt it was overly breaded and very heavy on the pepper. The chips were also fresh but overly seasoned. One order of a 4-piece was plenty for 2 people and we had quite a few leftover chips. Love the concept of a roadside Fish & Chips food truck, great service, but as a somewhat proficient fish & chips connoisseur with experience in both Wisconsin and England, it was not up to parr. (get it... parr: a juvenile trout/salmon)

Unfortunately tonight I didn't get here early enough so I sat out by the bar, which is absolutely fine. I started with a French onion soup, which I normally do when I'm here, tonight it was a little less oniony than it usually is, but that just could simply be a function of whoever was ladling it up. It's still absolutely delicious. For dinner, I had the chicken piccata with a baked potato and steamed green beans. The steamed green beans are a staple while there are a variety of other sides, such as onion rings or Alfredo, etc. I was a little disappointed in the piccata this time. It was less lemony and more oily than I remember. The lemon wedge helped, but I don't think that piccata would have to need additional lemon to the sauce. The green beans also a little heavy on the butter as was the baked potato. I don't want to say that the meal wasn't flavorful, because it was and my server while really busy was an absolute gem, only that it was a little heavy with the melted butter. After many excellent experiences here, this won't turn me off to coming back again and trying something else. Especially if I can get a table in the back!
