We arrived around five on a Friday night and usually with fish fry you would have to wait for a seat, but there were two tables open. The waitress came over right away and took our drink order. We ordered the fried pickles to start. They were good. They have quite a variety of appetizers, including some Asian inspired. Then we ordered the three-piece fish fry, perch, and the salmon. At first glance, the portions of seafood seemed a little small however, for the price it's a good deal. You also get breadsticks, coleslaw, and baked beans. The salmon was the unexpected star!! Better than most chain restaurants and right there with expensive ones! The inside is decorated like a typical Wisconsin dive bar, but the food exceeded our expectations. The service was the cherry on top. We will definitely be back!

You won't run into Peter here, but you'll meet other delightful people -- locals and vacationers. Most of the time, it's closed, but on the rare occasion that you find this building open (usually a weekend evening during warmer weather), it's a bit of a delight. Owned and operated by the people who run Twin Shores next door, this little building has a tiny, crowded bar with one table, and several outdoor tables. The drinks here are the same as the drinks at Twin Shores. It's a perfect spot for an after dinner drink when you want to sit outside and breathe in the fresh lake air on a warm summer night.

It's set back from the street behind another business with plenty of parking next to some tables under tents.

Yelp has no hours or a phone number so I couldn't even figure out when to come back or if they are a real bar, I did like the novelty and I really wanted have a beer here.

Menu is very limited, but that didn't matter to us. We were going to check out the burgers. Hamburger with a slice of raw onion, two bacon cheese burgers (their specialty) with a slice of raw onion and a side of fries, and a veggie wrap rounded out our order. Burgers were a good size and cooked well. Meat was coarse grind which we like. Fries were nothing special but came hot to the table. The wrap was underwhelming. Service was friendly. Food was better than average but place needed a good cleaning, especially the cooking grill and back room which was visible. 4 stars is generous. Likely not return until cleanliness is addressed.

I am 21, I am actually sober and had no interest in drinking, I often don't carry my ID on me because of this reason. I said I might have a photo of it but my phone was dead so i couldn't give her that. she refused to serve us after asking if we knew the owner (as if we had known the owner it would be fine?) so we ended up leaving. the only reason I'm writing this review is because there was a 7 year old sitting at the bar right next to us. We made it very clear we just wanted food and we're still refused service for lack of ID despite having a child sit there at the bar eating. I wish I would've lied and said I knew the owner because then I would be knee deep in some fries right now. Super disappointing. #WEDONTCARDANYONEUNDER10 #BRINGIDFORFRIES
