My sister and I stopped in for a quick lunch and ordered cheese curds, onion rings, and I got a buffalo chicken wrap. The cheese curds and onion rings were very good and tasted like they always do, nothing too special, but nonetheless good. The wrap was very interesting. To start it wasn't cut, so it was more like a burrito than a wrap. I cut it myself and there was a very large amount of buffalo sauce in the wrap, it was hard to eat without it getting everywhere. I ended up just eating the chicken in the wrap by itself. The fries were delicious and very crispy. I loved the atmosphere of the bar and the fact that it was so open. I have been coming here for years and they have always served very, very good food! I think the lack of quality food was due to how busy the bar was at the time. I will definitely be back in the future!

A number of cabins are newer and while on my recent visit they had removed an older cabin and had just poured a big new foundation for its replacement. The bar is the best and Beverly is still there expertly serving cocktails and beer plus the only bar up here I've found still serving ice cream drinks especially the Brandy Alexander. The cabin I stayed in this time was an older one but still comfortable and a great northwoods feel with a beautiful view of the lake.

They serve Food and Drink as well. Was there with a bunch of folks from Berwyn, IL which was a Czech Stronghold back in the day with a Bohemian restaurant on practically every block. When we saw "Little Bohemia", we were eager customers. Pre-prandial de rigueur in WIsco calls for Brandy Old Fashioneds, and they were quite tasty. The menu actually is more Germanic than Czech, but that's ok. Close enough. There was a Bohemian Rye bread service with a trio of compound butters, all so average I cant remember what they were except for the one wot had chopped olives. That one was fine. There was a relish tray that had a bizzare spread of Peas and Peanuts in a white cream sauce. We couldn't figure out what to do with it. Never saw anything like it in any of the many Bohemian (or Deutsche) joints any of us had ever been to. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't fab either. Now there was a Mushroom soup offered and it was really really yum! Could have had 3 bowls of that and called it a night. For entrees, Roast Duck was on the specials and one of our party got the last order before it was 86'd. Most of us were going to order it as well, so hearing it was off the twig made us scramble back to the menu. My pal who knows the difference said the duck was great. I swung with a pork schnitzel, spaetzle and rotkohl. All three were pretty good. Not as good as the Czech joints in Berwyn, but good nonetheless. Wife had a steak which she was not impressed with. That Schnitzel was $32, by the way, which I thought was a little dear. $32 will just about buy a fine dinner for 2 in any of the remaining Czech joints in the Berwyn area. Service was fine, and we were in the room wot had most of the Dillinger artifacts. I'm throwing 4 for this place 'cos the evening was pleasant, and the basehits overrode the strikeouts...

But the crab cakes hit it out of the park. The best I have ever had- yes- in the north woods the Crab Cake was the bomb. It was served on a wood plank with a red slightly spicy remoulade sauce. Two lovely thick cakes with lots of sweet crab meat. Made my entire week! I would just order these for dinner and add a salad on the next visit. Hubbie and I had the tenderloin infused with the garlic. So good. Cooked to perfection Medium. Our friend had the rib eye and ate every bite. His wife had the fish fry and enjoyed it but could not finish as she had stolen some of my crab cakes. Lovely atmosphere and not too big of a dining room. Such great service from a lovely group of all woman servers and bartender. I think this is our new favorite place to eat in the North Woods. Please do not do anything to that Crab Cake recipe.

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.
