We went for the fish boil and found an amazing building, excellent food, and outstanding, friendly staff! An easy Five Stars!

Absolutely lovely and beautiful "log house" design. Delicious cocktails, friendly staff, and a bountiful buffet assortment. Highly recommend and will definitely be back. read more

The wine selection was great. The food was amazing. I had a filet mignon with baked potato and green beans. I think my partner had parmesan crusted baked haddock. Also wonderful. The decor was amazing too -see pictures. Great desserts. Oh i forgot meal included soup and salad bar. The vegetable beef soup was tomato based and great. Salad bar was good. Menu indicated restaurant is owned by someone in the Lautenbach family and the server and the host and two others were Lautenbachs. Famous winery is by another person in Lautenbach family. read more

Let me preface, the only reason im not giving this 1 star is due to the 50% refund they gave us. So, the building itself is beautiful and is a great atmosphere to dine in. The food was also pretty good. We came in at buffet time, and I can confidently say the biscuits and gravy were delicious. The problem? Literal maggots. My sister ordered a simple cranberry juice, and upon receiving it spotted a maggot wriggling on the side of the glass, with another floating inside (this glass is not in the pictures). Trying to be pretty moderate my sister went over and quietly mentioned it to an employee, which gave us a new glass and assured they had just cleaned the spicket. Either this was a lie, or theres a far larger issue because the second glass we recieved (pictured) still had maggots... Obviously we all completely lost our appetite. The employees handled it well with the refund, but this place should definitely be looked at by a health inspector. read more

A group of 8 of us were part of a Door Co Trolley tour that stopped here for brunch. The buffet had salads, soups, a handful of breakfast items, chicken, ham, beef, and a few other items. They were all OK, and very friendly for families as nothing is seasoned all that much (which is not great for me). We got a Bloody Mary or Mimosa as part of our tour and they were our least favorite of the 3 stops. Staff was very friendly and helpful, and the building and grounds are impressive. read more

This is the lunch spot for the door County wine trolley. Our lunch was pretty good and we were served with good service. This review is for the other patrons in the Log Den who sat and waited for well over 50 minutes while we got our food. Because this is the normal lunch spot of the door, county wine trolley, it is my expectation that they would be staffed well enough to serve both the trolley patrons and anyone else that comes into the restaurant - especially for lunch on a Saturday. read more

We stumbled across this gem just off of 42, and wow--what an incredible surprise it turned out to be. As a family, we were looking for something unique and memorable, and this place gave us exactly that with our first-ever fish boil experience. From the moment we walked in, we were in awe. The building itself is absolutely stunning--so thoughtfully designed and rich in character. You instantly feel like you're stepping into somewhere special. We started our evening at the bar where Mary crafted some seriously great cocktails--she clearly knows what she's doing and was so friendly, too. We made our way outside and grabbed a table right in front of the fish boil setup to get a good view. The man running the fish boil was not only knowledgeable but incredibly entertaining. He kept everyone engaged and laughing--really made it feel like an event. Then, to top it off, the family dog, Frabill, came bounding over to greet us, followed by Steve, one of the owners, who introduced himself and made us feel right at home. When the food was ready, we went inside for a buffet-style dinner--and honestly, wow. The fish was delicious, perfectly cooked and seasoned, with tender veggies and some of the best chicken we've had in a long time. And then came the cherry pie... made by the owner himself, topped with homemade whipped cream. Just incredible. What really sets this place apart is how much heart is in every detail. The staff was warm, welcoming, and attentive to every guest, treating everyone like family. After dinner, they played a short video telling the story of how the cabin was built--what an inspiring journey. The craftsmanship, the family legacy, and the love poured into this place deserve a book of their own. A special shoutout to Steve--your kindness and stories added so much to our night. Thank you for making us feel like part of the family. We'll be coming back every single time we're in Door County. If you're visiting the area, do not miss this place. It's more than a meal--it's a memory. read more

The restaurant is absolutely charming. The environment is warm and welcoming. One of the owners greeted us as we entered and she was so engaging and sweet. I can say the same for our waitress, just lovely ladies. We weren't super hungry. My husband had the soup and salad bar and I ordered a cheeseburger. We both enjoyed are food very much. I would like to go back and try some of their other entrees. I did think it was just a tad expensive for what we ordered. However, the atmosphere and staff made it worth the price. read more

I can't see how anyone could criticize this place. The family is historic in Door County and they built the place themselves. The food is amazing! The best whitefish ever and I love the salmon. Wayne's granddaughter waited on us once and she was adorable. If you go to Door expect to wait and enjoy it. That's why you're there; to relax. I am from Chicago and this is one reason I have been coming to Door for decades. Just to hang out and enjoy the peace. Have the cherry pie. Sandra read more

Arrived for brunch about 30 minutes prior to close, unfortunately no soup left and the best desserts were picked over, a little pricey, loved the atmosphere and the service was great! read more

The Sunday buffet is outstanding. We had reservations for 9AM when they open so everything was being ser up but the breakfast foods were ready. The eggs and bacon were very good. The biscuits and gravy were great as were the pancakes. The many choices of the lunch items completed the meal except for the cherry pie. The service is excellent. Super friendly and made us feel welcomed. The highlight is how beautiful this restaurant is inside and out. My wife took so many pictures we spent more time than we expected. When they found out we lived in Oklahoma and had been to a Corn Oklahoma for a wedding. read more

We had the breakfast buffet and it was extensive . There were breakfast and lunch dishes and desserts which were sliced and plated. Everything was super fresh. The lettuce was clearly from a garden. I liked the beef and fish. The fruit and veggies were obviously sliced that morning. The fresh zucchini soup was made by the staff from zucchini from the garden. My wife thought it was delicious. The staff were very nice and friendly. It's a family business. They were out and about collecting plates and refilling serving trays. They accepted a reservation for our party of 12. We really enjoy the decorations of the building. The building is really interesting and the bears and carvings and wood work is really cool. read more

We had the best time at The Log Den! We were a party of 7 with a dog and the staff was wonderful! We loved the food and the Wisconsin Old Fashioned was so good! It's a hidden gem ! read more

First off none of this involves the staff who was working on Sunday evening. We had a 6:00 reservation for 4. When we arrived they all seemed to be running around trying to get things together. We decided to give them some time and had a drink at the bar. They advertise a large soup and salad buffet. Everything was empty or dried out. We ordered our food. 2 of us got barely warm food. The others food rated a bit higher. My beef stroganoff had 4 pieces of meat. It's a beautiful establishment to bad the management doesn't have it under control. Sad to say we will never be back unless they find new management. read more

Hidden Gem. The grounds and wood carvings inside and out are great! Romantic, dine inside or outside. Soup and salad bar. Not over priced. Very friendly!! Delicious food. read more

The place is beautiful but the food is just not that good. Stick with the soup and salad if you go here. The only thing that was good out of a party of 12 was the seafood chowder and the prime rib. The potatoes were improperly par cooked and reheated. The vegetables were uneatable. I could not eat either. I don't like wasting food, I tried to eat them. I just ended up getting more soup and salad. The walleye was over breaded. To the owners and chefs: Don't bother cooking or serving vegetables if you don't know how to do it correctly, you are just wasting food. read more

Loved the Sunday brunch. This is a true WI tradition. It is breakfast foods and lunch. Salad bar, desert bar, soups, cocktails, main course such as chicken, beef tips, and so much more. If you have a hungry group this is the place. Beautiful log interior. The wait staff is friendly and attentive. It is home cooking at its best. read more

Waiters were so kid. And the buns were so tasty. There was a great variety and they were very accommodating to a large group of people. Good location on the high way too! Highly recommended read more

Our family has had a tradition of coming here on the Saturday before Easter (except Covid) for several years. We were all so excited to return last night! However, we found a very limited menu. No steaks except prime rib. And very high prices for what was offered. One of us ordered chicken (half chicken for $25) and he was first served two reheated pieces. No dressing. The waitress tried so hard to please that she brought him some dressing intended for Easter brunch. Several of us ended up ordering sandwiches when we had come for steak. Our waitress tried her best to be helpful. But with such a limited menu and mediocre quality, it probably was the end of our tradition. read more

While a beautiful facility, the front desk and kitchen should be declared disaster areas. We were told a thirty minute wait, which turned into a ninety minute wait - and that was just to get a table. We ordered salads, thinking that would be quick. Wrong again. Another hour wait. Our waitress was apologetic, but clearly overworked. Until this place announces it is under new ownership, avoid it! read more

My folks went on a Wednesday and they were almost empty. We went on a Saturday night with a reservation and they were slammed. They table of six beside us waited so long for their food that they had to get it to go. Waited over 15 minutes after seated for someone to take our order. We waited over an hour for our food. Our prime rib was was way over cooked. We had to personally go to the bar to get refills on our ice teas. The decor was the best part, love the bears and their butts sticking out of the logs. read more

I went here with my family on a Monday evening in late August; it was not busy and the service was great. My broasted chicken was absolutely incredible, and the pecan pie was delicious. It's a good choice for homey, hearty food in a delightful setting. It was a bit chilly inside, so I was glad I brought a sweater. read more

Food was the best in Egg Harbor! Wonderful wait staff. Definitely would come back. You can tell everything was made from scratch.

Beautiful interior....... Food mediocre... my salad with chicken on it horrible and extremely pricey for a little cold chicken on ice berg lettuce read more

This place is just wonderful. Gorgeous and huge hand made log cabin with wonderful attention to detail. Really nice staff and we had the best food. Homemade by Wayne who built it. We had the beast blackened salmon and lake whitefish we've ever had. Homemade cherry pie a La mode. And we are kinda food snobs. Just outstanding! Thank you. Sandra and Terry. read more

Very disappointing. Cute place but crummy food. Fish was not cooked enough. Beef was dry. Mashed potatoes are yucky. Would be great for drinks only. Beautiful place. read more

We went later in the evening, and towards the end of the summer (so not too busy). The prices are intimidating but you get a large amount of food. Salad bar, rolls, and your dinner. The bruschetta was delicious! Had the chicken parm and was underwhelmed. Though the quantity was large the taste was meh. Bartender was sweet and greeted us with a smile, as did the hostess, unfortunately our server didn't have that same demeanor. I don't know if it was because we had two children with us (8-year-old well behaved girls), or if it was towards the end of the night, but she just seemed annoyed and never smiled. My sister and I both felt like we were bothering her for being there. read more

From the absolutely gorgeous building and decor, to the top notch food and staff,this place will not disappoint! Stopped 30 minutes before closing on a Saturday evening. Thought maybe just a drink and head out, but we were served dinner with a smile and wonderful conversation. The Mother's Day brunch the next morning was delicious. We will definitely return! read more

Beautiful place with fantastic staff. Everyone was very friendly. We had a reservation and arrived early to enjoy a cocktail at the bar. As we sat there, we noticed that the employees were all handling very large service areas (such as the bar which is large and had 1 bartender with the occasional help from another employee). When we sat for dinner, we noticed the same thing in the dining area - large areas handled by 1 server. Our server was very good. She took our order quickly, got us on our way to the soup and salad bar and brought us bread. That's when it started to go a bit downhill. The salad bar was awkwardly laid out without sneeze guard over most of the items (only lettuce, shredded cheese, pasta salad and salad dressings had a sneeze guard - croutons and bowls of mushrooms, onions, cucumbers and other toppings were not protected). Everything was fresh though so hopefully everyone ahead of me was clean and withheld any urge to sneeze/cough/etc. Now for dinner, the wait was over an hour. This I don't understand except to assume that the kitchen may be as short staffed as the service area. We got to the point we really wished we could just leave without feeling a twinge of guilt to the service staff who were great. So, we sat. When our meal was ready the server apologized for the wait. My husband had filet and I had the steak Diane. Both of us enjoy medium rare. For both meals the beef was underwhelming. Not very flavorful. For my meal, I had the creamy mushroom sauce which made up for the blah beef. Service was 5, food was 3, wait 1. The service staff definitely work their hardest and do a great job. read more

Went to watch Badger game and get dinner at a 'bar'. We were told we couldnt eat dinner at the bar, only apps. There were about 6-7 apps options, that's it. Bartender told us there was a separate viewing area for the game if we wanted dinner. We were paying customers and should have been able to eat dinner where we wanted to eat. I could understand this'policy' if the bar or restaurant were full, but there were only a few others. We liked our good seats at the bar. Great bloodie, but the food? Wouldnt know, we left to eat where we could watch game and enjoy our meals. Absolutely BEAUTIFUL building, probably wouldn't go for a meal but maybe a drink. We were turned off by the 'rules'... they seemed desperste for customes as parking lot was empty all day.... on a holiday weekend. Assuming others had similar experience. They need to cater more to payimg customers, we would have spent a decent amount there, but they wouldn't allow us to. read more

I love stopping here for lunch on the way to the Door. The atmosphere and food is great, as well is the building and decor. My sister had the Bandito Burger which she said was very delicious. It smelled so good from across the table. Once you put it together, it can be a challenge to eat as it is quite tall. However, when it comes to good food, you always figure it out. They had a lunch special of a perch sandwich that day and that is what I ordered. The breading was very light and the fish was done to perfection. I did not put the tomatoes on my sandwich, ( I usually don't on a fish sandwich) however I did eat them by themselves, fresh indeed. The sandwich was fantastic. I would definitely order it again. I always try to stop here at least once when I am in Door County. It is a bit out of the way if I don't stop on the way up or on the way home as it is a quite a bit south of where I stay, however it is definitely worth the trip. read more

The reviews kind of make me laugh. The "log den" name and exterior might attract people expecting more of a bar or cabin like menu but the menu is very nice and thought out. I read reviews that the food was lack luster or cold. Our service was great and out food was hot and wonderful. My mother was pleasantly surprised how well the broiled whitefish was cooked and I asked for my shrimp and scallops blackened and they were great. The English Inn has the best Ice cream drinks, and that's where we originally intended on going but they were closed and the Log Den was a great option and we finished the meal with a well done brandy Alexander. The log den isn't the best restaurant in door county, but it's a solid choice if you're around carlsville and I don't think it deserves the poor reviews I read. read more

Fantastic! We had a most enjoyable time, the service was above and beyond any restaurant we have dined in the two week stay here! Food was delicious, prime rib and filet- perfection!

I've been here a few times and each time was less than impressed. The food is okay. Nothing spectacular or worthy of writing home about. It's a bit overpriced for what they offered. On a positive note the decor is nice and if you are a fan of the rustic look It's well worth having a meal at the restaurant. Otherwise I would suggest looking other where if you want a decently priced meal that will won't hurt your wallet and make you want to come back again. read more

Suffered severe burns on my tongue after my beverage was microwaved way too long by the bartender. This bartender is related to the owner, his grandfather. He doesn't seem to be able to focus on what he's doing...extremely hyper. read more

Absolutely love this place. Every time we go we always have a wonderful time. A gem of Door Country tucked away in a little woods on RT 42.
