    Burger with American cheese & fried onions
    Lisa M.

    Finally tried this place for lunch, after reading about how good their burgers are! Good news....it did not disappoint. It's a cute little 'up north' bar with a few tables. Signs on the tables say to order at the bar, but during my visit the bartender came over and took our order. Service was prompt & efficient. My guest and I each ordered a burger. I got the make your own burger with American cheese and fried onions. My guest had the snowshoe burger. Both were served with fries. The burgers were juicy and full of flavor. The cheese was a generous slice. I loved the fried onions. The fries were crispy. Perfect, good sized portions. Looking forward to coming back and trying other items on their menu....or maybe just for another one of those burgers!

    After seeing that Whitman's won "Northwoods Best Burger" contest... we had to try ! Huge bar and lots of dining area room. We sat at the bar and received excellent service. We ordered two of their burgers. The burgers came out very quickly. Pros- Burger patty itself was absolutely delicious. Thick and juicy. Really fresh tasting meat. Outstanding! The caramelized onions and mushrooms were out of this world as well. Perfectly cooked and with a little char. Overall an OUTSTANDING burger. Cons- they accidentally put the wrong cheese on our burgers. We were supposed to have each others cheese but it wasn't a big deal. Still delicious. The fries were soggy and undercooked but the bartender acknowledged it without us saying anything and asked if we wanted new ones. Not going to hold it against them. Can't wait to go back for another drink & burger !

    CASH ONLY (atm inside). My hubby and I love to stop at places on the motorcycle and we decided to take a trip to Minoqua. This place had awesome reviews so, why not? We loved it! I had the BLT and my husband had their burger with the bourbon glaze. Very affordable, staff and local clientele gave us great conversation. What to know: it's easy to drive by, so keep an eye out. Cash only so bring some or plan on using the ATM, it's smaller inside. It's typical WI bar food: burgers, chicken sandwiches, cheese curds, BLT, fries, etc.

    Menu

    It's a bar. We are expecting to see a bit bigger menu based on the previous reviews. No burgers. Just wings and few others. No fries with sandwiches, only store bought cheap chips. So, I'm guessing it was winter only menu??? The wings were really good though. I wish we knew "spicy garlic" means "REALLY SPICY garlic". I felt like my lips and tongue are double in size for the next hour or so. Blue cheese dressing was 5 star! Biggest chunk of blue cheese I've ever found in a dressing! Celery sticks were fresh too. Oh the beer was served in a nice cold (frozen) glass!

    Menu

    Great burgers, Tuesday and Thursday wings with limited menu, Friday fish fry with limited menu.

    Always great, probably the best burger in the entire world. Ask for the Freddy deluxe or the dry rub wings.

The majority of the restaurant is actually a huge bar as you enter. There are four or five tables off in a separate section for any families. It's a cool place and Northwoods cool everything.

    I've been frequenting Timbers every Friday for their fish fry for the last 8+ years or so. To me,…read morethey have the best fish fry in the north woods by far, and it proves that you don't have to go to a fancy supper club to get good eats. The ambiance is a typical north woods bar, you can either eat at the bar or sit at one of the tables in their 'dining room' which houses the slot machines, dart board, and a few other games for kids. They have a wide selection of brews on tap, and have a full bar. The thing that I really love about this place is that everyone who works here is extremely nice. You can tell they love what they do, they're proud of where they live, and they have great senses of humor. Just overall great conversationalists. Now to the food, my favorite part: For appetizers, you HAVE to try their jalapeño poppers. They're the best poppers I've ever had. I believe they are coated in potato breading and they have an awesome zing to them. Never had a popper like it and I'll always compare others to the ones at Timbers. For lunch/dinner, their hamburgers are incredible as well. Super juicy smash burgers on a fluffy bun with the best French fries in the world. A perfect pick me up during snowmobile season or on a nice summer day. On Friday, this is THE spot for fish fry. My family and I have tried so many fish fry places over the year trying to find our favorite, and each time we stray we always leave disappointed wishing we would've just got Timbers instead. To me, what makes their fish fry so great is their portions are extremely generous, you get 4 pieces of fish, a handful of fries, two slices of buttered rye bread, coleslaw, tartar sauce, and a lemon wedge. The way their fish is prepared and battered is my favorite. It doesn't have that super thick, almost pancake batter like breading that tastes like a corn dog. Instead it's very lightly breaded so that it's fish forward with a nice crunch. This is just my preference, but to me, it's the best fish fry I've ever had. I genuinely love this place so much, but I must say that it's obviously super crowded and loud during the tourist seasons. If that bothers you, you can always call in a takeout order so don't like that deter you from checking this place out!

Speedy service,…read moredelicious food (with even some unique menu choices), great prices and the lake views are wonderful. We stopped in on a Saturday for lunch and were told to seat ourselves. The place was busy but not packed. We grabbed a hightop with lake views and perused the menu. The adults ordered old fashioneds ($5.50) and the kiddos had kiddie cocktails ($2), plus an appetizer of mini corn dogs ($8.50) as we were all starving. From there the adults ordered "Greg's Taco Wrap" ($11) and the Walleye Fingers Basket ($10.50) and the kiddos ordered from the kids menu with a 9" Cheese Pizza ($5.95) and a Hamburger with Fries ($4.95) with cheese (not sure if we were up-charged for that). Note, water is self serve by the front door. The food all came out quickly and were very large servings. I couldn't believe how many fries came with the kids meal! The Taco Wrap was the highlight of the meal, but it was all delicious. Nitpick would be a lighter batter on the walleye fingers, but it was still good. We ended our meal with the kiddos playing some of the arcade games, which were surprisingly only $1 a play. My only regret is I wish I would have ordered the duck wontons. Next time!
