The BEST cheese curds in the Northwoods. They aren't the typical breaded/deep fried version that you find everywhere; they are a lightly flash fried creamy cheese delight with an amazing dipping sauce that will turn you off of ranch dressing forever. I know it sounds crazy but the Bacon, Blackberry, Cheesecake Burger was simply amazing!!! The flavors meld together into the most delicious bite of burger with the salty bacon nicely offsetting the sweetness of the fresh blackberries, blackberry jam and cheesecake. The fries were wedges with the perfect seasoning. Where else can you find a fried Blacktip Shark Loin appetizer? The ribs, brisket and smoked wings satisfied this Texas gals craving for BBQ too. We were too full for dessert but were sooooo tempted by the homemade chocolate cherry cheesecake and know it would have been splendid. The service was excellent; friendly, personable, helpful suggestions and on top of things. Chef Paul and his wife Elana both stopped by our table to chat and remembered us from a previous visit when we were in town a couple of months ago. The decor is absolutely iconic Northwoods rustic lodge. A fireplace, casual atmosphere, wonderful taxidermy everywhere, a bar where you feel comfortable lingering over a before and/or after dinner drink. A very comfortable and welcoming experience overall. We definitely include Backdraft BBQ on our list of favorites.

Note that they have downtime in the fall so be sure to check their hours in their website. Upon entering the parking lot you feel like you're entering an enchanted forest with lights and an outdoor fire pit greeting you. We were warmly welcomed by the hostess and we were immediately seated. We were out kim an addition which had ample windows facing out to the lighted trees. Our waitress was very attentive and we were started with a relish tray. It was skimpy compared to what you use to get at supper clubs but appreciated as a comp. We received our meals with a comp loaf of bread. I'm GF so passed on the bread. My husband said it was average and appreciated. He had the prim rib and I had a tenderloin steak with mushrooms and garlic mashed potatoes which the first couple of bites in the end was chewy but as I moved to the next bites it was very tender. I enjoyed the Hungarian mushroom soup and my husband enjoyed his clam chowder. We were too full for dessert and I took 1/2 of my meal home to enjoy for lunch the next day. We didn't try any cocktails. We would go back to try more menu items, maybe something light so a dessert could be enjoyed.
