    Server was phenomenal. We loved him. The fish fry was the best we've ever had. Typical dive bar feeling inside.

    Stopped in for a fish fry on my second weekend in town after moving to Duluth... What an impressive fish fry! I wasn't expecting it at all coming from Milwaukee fish fry my entire life. The fish was lightly coated and the tartar sauce is crazy delicious. The au gratin potatoes were so good!!! I highly recommend giving them a try! Can't wait to come back!

    My family rarely took summer vacations; it was my dad's "busy time" for work. Instead, we skied. A lot. We'd travel around the Upper Midwest on weekends, throw in an occasional trip out West, but our "go to" local place was/is called "Mont du Lac", and it was at the other end of town from our house, on Minnesota highway 23, right after you left the city limits. We were there a lot as a family, but my most vivid memory of the place was it was the scene of the only head-on car collision I have been in, thankfully at low speed, and thankfully with my brother driving, and not me. Fast forward 5 decades, and at the entrance of the ski hill is a local tavern, which even though the highway in front of the joint is in Minnesota, due to a geographic anomaly, the tavern is on a little spit of land claimed by Wisconsin. The Wabegon (I have no idea what that means, unless it's a pun on "Wobegon") is open 7 days at varying hours, and serves a variety of bar favorites, including burgers and pizza. It's been perched there since 1932. Wabby Burgers start off with a 1/2 pound of fresh ground, and combinations of all ilks are available. Kawika said the basic cheeseburgert was very enjoyable. If you want to take the "scenic route" to Duluth from Minneapolis, hop off I-35 at Minnesota 23, and amble up this back road, stopping for a cool brew at the Wab.

    Stopped by on a Sunday to have an afternoon drink and app. Bartender was super friendly and prompt on refills and getting us our food. It was clean and offered a good selection for a small bar. They offer Spotted Cow and Castle Danger on tap which was really popular. It is handicapped accessible and they sell off sale. There is a room for family dining if folks don't want to sit in the bar area.

    Drummy basket. Ton of wings. Very good.

    Awesome burger's and fries! So close to Mount Du Lac. The perfect after ski stop! It's friendly and homey like expected for a Wisconsin bar!

    Just note on the name - Wabegon (Wabigwan, wabigwaan, waabigwaan) is an Ojibwe word for flowers.
