The berry picker pizza is very good and unique. The garlic sauce on it is delicious and they put a lot of toppings. I love how the toppings get crispy, especially the wild rice and feta cheese. I just wish they used chicken breast instead of thigh on the pizzas. The island pizza is also very good but we like to sub and get red sauce instead of the bbq sauce so it's just like a hawaiian pizza. As always, we got the thick crust with both pizzas. It was very busy so we waited about 30 minutes but service was good. We split 2 mediums between 6 of us and it was plenty with the popcorn! read more

Possibly the best pizza I've ever had. I'm a bit of a pizza hoe. I've had it all. Been to Italy for pizza...good stuff but this place has it beat. I can't wait for when the season starts back up so I can get some more! read more

When I visit this area our go to spot is Anglers! They have a dock if you're out on the lake and want to get some food! I've always love their pizza! They're pizza filling and the size we got was a medium split between two people. Their drinks are ok and is the reason why I gave it a 4/5. There's not a lot of seating inside or outside so you have to time right if you have a big group. read more

Great atmosphere and delightful employees. Pizza was great. Nice outside seating. Parking a little hard, but it worked.

Great pizza, nice up north bar kind of feel with friendly staff and free popcorn! Also their ice cream drinks are really big and really tasty! read more

Since my first trip to Lac Courte Oreilles six years ago, I've been coming to Angler's Haven -- normally by boat but sometimes by car -- each year to get a drink, some popcorn and sometimes food. A trip to Hayward (for me) wouldn't be complete without it. When you come into the bar, the first thing you'll likely see is some bowls of popcorn put in front of you. This stuff is free, and especially after a day swimming and sweating on the lake, it really hits the spot. If you can, get the long bar table near the front door if you'd like to be inside -- though there are outdoor tables if that better suits you -- and the waitresses have always been prompt with getting drink orders. Now, about the drinks: This is a "Leinie bar," as they'll tell you, meaning they only serve Leinenkugel beer. As another reviewer noted, this is somewhat a shame considering the plethora of great Wisconsin beer -- cough, New Glarus, cough -- but you can usually find something worth drinking in the Leinie line-up. And if you can't and if you have the liver and fortitude for it, there's always Angler's legendary Long Island ice teas. You may think you've had an LIT; well, this one will definitely kick your night into high gear, for better or for worse. The bloody marys are also good, albeit a bit on the mild side. In my opinion, they could use some more pepper and heat, but they are still among some of the best. And the beef stick, pickle. olives, lime slices, cheese, shrimp, etc., that come skewered in it make it almost a meal in and of itself. Angler's has pizza, which is good. It also has a pool table, cabins to rent and a jukebox, in case any of those tickle your fancy. Also be sure to scope out all of the doodads, memorabilia and flair that cover the inside walls. At first site, it might look like decorations a la Cracker Barrel or Applebee's, but look closely and you'll see that many reference Hayward, Lac Courte Oreilles and the people that make it so special. read more

Great food, atmosphere, location and staff!! We go there a few times every summer and have always enjoyed the experience.

Excellent place to stop and get a Pizza and a drink. Jordan makes the best drinks around.

Situated on Lac Courte Oreilles, Angler's is a fantastic place to go when you're in the Hayward area. Recognized as the area's first honorary Leinie Lodge in 2009, Angler's is quite popular and is always busy in summer months. If you're lucky enough to snag a table outside, you can enjoy a beautiful view of the lake with great brews and pizza (or some apps). A large bowl of complimentary popcorn will be placed at your table immediately after you are seated, which is all too easy to fill up on. Sitting outside, you can expect the (owner's?) dog, Morgan to come and sit at your feet, waiting for a morsel of food to escape your possession. Of all of the times I've been here, I've never actually been inside. Most of that can be attributed to the gorgeous weather and wanting to enjoy ourselves on the patio rather than inside at the bar, staring at t.v.'s. Just a personal pref. Many people will tell you to get the pizza, and rightfully so. Angler's thin crust pizzas are the super-thin, cracker crust variety, and they do it very well. Chicagoans and suburbanites, think "flatbread" like. If you're trying to get your deep dish fix, you won't find that here. They do offer a thick crust pizza, but why would you want that anyway? That'd leave no room for the beer! I will say prepare for sticker shock; the large pizzas will cost you $25-$30, roughly. When you have a party of 8, and four different pizzas, plus drinks, plus apps.... the bill easily came to a couple hundo. Angler's isn't always a cheap date. M and I ordered the Buffalo Chicken style pizza, as I've been on a buffalo chicken kick for months now. Others in our party ordered the "Garden" (a veggie style), a Leinie Lovers (honey Dijon sauce & cheeses, marinated bratwursts in Leinie's Honey Weiss, with sauerkraut & red onions) which I was able to sample and it's fantastic! The buffalo chicken was perfect- great cuts of chicken, perfect sauce application and quality gorgonzola cheese. Many of their apps are good, but the nachos fell short of my expectations. The Bobbers are a pound of lightly seasoned baked baby roasted potatoes, served with a side of sour cream with chives. Get them. Love them. The Shore Beans are lightly battered green beans that are baked and have a light, yet crispy crunch. Even green bean haters might sneak a taste of these gems. The Garlic Toast and Artichoke Dip is a good alternative to fill up on. The Musky Bread (mozzarella & parmesan cheeses with garlic baked on sourdough bread) is quite tasty as well. We also had some deep fried mac and cheese triangles, but I don't remember what they were officially called. But they were good. Damn good. Who doesn't like deep fried mac and cheese bites? The Northern Nachos..... no, no, no. This is one app that needs serious tweaking. For nearly ten bucks, you get tortilla chips, cheese, taco seasoned beef and olives, with a side of sour cream and salsa. The cheese is barely melted, the beef is dry and why are there no jalapenos? Ever make "homemade" nachos that you nuke in the microwave and the cheese barely melts? That's what these are, only you pay $9.95 for 'em. Take a pass on this one. Angler's does make a badass Bloody Mary. In true Wisconsin style, you'll receive a side car of Leinie's with it; the Bloody itself is garnished with a beef stick, pickle, cheese, olives, and marinated mushroom, or you can get the "ABC Bloody Mary" which includes the standard fixin's but is topped with two jumbo shrimp. I'm not a shrimp lover, but my MIL had two during our visit and proclaimed it to be the "Best Bloody ever!" Love a good Moscow Mule? Angler's does it right- the ginger beer and vodka are served properly in the copper cups, and is quite refreshing on a hot summer's day. For the Leinie lovers, you'll have about ten varieties to chose from. Get to Angler's early to snag an outdoor seat, but they are not open on Mondays so plan accordingly. You'll experience great service (all of their servers are friendly, attentive, and polite), enjoy some great food and beers while savoring a picturesque view of Lac Courte Oreilles (especially at sunset) that truly captures the beauty of Wisconsin. It doesn't get much better than that. read more

I've never stayed at the resort, but their restaurant is fantastic. YOU HAVE TO GET THE MILKSHAKE LIQOUR DRINKS. Okay now that that is out of the way, the pizza is amazing too. As is the serene atmosphere of being nestled in the forest right beside the lake. I love Angler's Haven. I really do. And you will too if you get yourself a delicious pizza and milkshake. Did I mention there's free popcorn? read more

5/5 easily. I've been going to this establishment for over 15 years and although there was a change in ownership, their new (ish) owner Kelsey has always been welcoming and kind. Coolest bar in all of Hayward and whenever I take my friends up here, Angler's Haven is always our first stop. Pizza is fantastic, and beer is always cold. Can't get any better than this. read more

I have to update. Two years in a row we've been back since my initial review. It's far better than my original review. Off night maybe. The moonrise pizza is outstanding. Fun place, kid friendly. I recommend. read more

They never disappoint. Pizza done to perfect, atmosphere great, and service is always with a smile.

Love this place! Very friendly owners, great drinks, and awesome pizza. It's right on the lake so you can pull right up on a boat in the spring/summer/fall or snowmobile in the winter. Definitely recommend! read more

Their pizza never disappoints! Lots of choices, from standard options to gourmet & funky (in a good way). We have our set pizzas that we must order, then always enjoy trying a few new ones for variety. There truly is a pizza flavor for everyone here! There are other menu choices as well, but other than maybe a plate of wings or beat bites, we rarely stray from pizzas. We go several times a summer, arriving either by boat or by car, depending upon the size of our party. There's a swing set / play area for littles, as well as free popcorn, while you wait. On busy nights, there can be a wait, but the kitchen is quick, so don't be deterred if there's a wait - it's worth it. Staff is always friendly, knowledgeable, and prompt. Covid note: We've also just recently had takeout due no dine-in service, and while we certainly missed the awesome lakeside vibe, the product itself (7 pizzas ) was awesome as always. read more

Friendly bartenders, great north woods ambiance, and the best pizza in the area! Small place so expect to wait. read more

WHAT, NO Burgers.......... If you remember Angler's when the burgers were the thing, then you remember the size, portion(s) and toppings. The pizza their serving now is just as incredible. The atmosphere, service staff and food still is top notch. Remember this place is small.......you may have to wait for fantastic food. read more

Angler's Haven was once the best place on Lac Courte Oreilles to eat and drink. No longer true. The food is of average bar quality while the prices of food and beverages are extremely inflated. They also charge back their guests the 3% Visa/Mastercard merchant card fee. Wait times are too long. Upwards to 90 minutes to get your food. The hosts, especially the bartender, are rude. If you enjoy paying $50 or more for a small bite starter, a medium pizza, and one drink, then this place is for you. read more

Visited here on our recent trip to Hayward. The pizza was amazing!!! The place is really small so there's not a ton of seating especially since we had a large group but we found a spot. If we go back to Hayward I would for sure stop here again to try another pizza. read more

I have been stopping in here to the lodge since I was first old enough to take the boat over by myself. Awesome pizza, cold drinks and warm hospitality every single time I come. You have got to stop by for a pizza and a cold beer... or better yet, stay for a week in one of their cabins! I am glad to see that this piece of Hayward history continues to thrive. read more

Great place to boat or drive to for some pizza, wings, and drinks. Indoor and outdoor seating. Both with a view of the lake. If you're from out of town welcome to the north woods of Wisconsin. This is what all those corporate cookie-cutter restaurants are trying to emulate. Enjoy! read more

This was my second time Angler's Haven Resort, and despite a minor snafu, they did not disappoint. We don't stay at the resort, but it is definitely something we go out of our way for.....the PIZZA! First off, the interior is friendly, inviting, and covered with the most Wisconsin related stuff you will ever see. The staff is great, and found us a table while we waited near the shore with some Leinie's. Once seated, we perused the great array of pizzas, which for the most part, these combinations are unique to this restaurant (toppings like wild rice). You can split, go half and half, and customize your own. We got the "Angler" this time around, and it was fantastic. This is some of the best pizza you can find in not just the local area, but anywhere. This is now in my permanent rotation of places to visit while up in the Hayward area. Love it! read more

Although we've spent many years with a cabin in Hayward, this was our first time hearing of and trying Angler's Haven. We stopped for lunch during a winter day of snowmobiling. The owner was very friendly and opened early. We started with bloody marys. A homemade mix topped with beef stick, cheese, pickle, mushroom & olive. It was so good I had two! A beer chaser complimented the drink. The owner brought us out a basket of freshly popped popcorn while we looked at the menu. Our group had pizzas, a flatbread and brisket sandwiches. They do have a nice gluten free crust. Good new to us place in Hayward. Looking forward to stopping again! read more

Definitely the best pizza around. Big menu selection, mostly different kinds of pizza unique to Anglers Haven, but they also have wraps, salads, and great appetizers. The staff is extremely nice and Morgan, the dog is a great mascot. The restaurant is very small and can get extremely cramped. read more

Best. Pizza. In. Hayward. Awesome drinks, beautiful view of Lac Courte Orielles. The bar is has a very fun atmosphere, popcorn is always great while you're waiting for your food or a table. And Morgan the dog is very friendly. :) read more

i haven't stayed at the cabins at anglers, but i have eaten at the bar/restaurant. it's one of my favorite parts of going up there after making the 7.5hr trip. BIG FAN of the long island ice tea. LOVE the musky bread, too - so garlicky and awesome. their pizza and their battered green beans are awesome too! gotta try their alcoholic milkshakes as well. the absolute best place to go when your up in that area. take your pontoon and park at the dock. play all the songs you want on their awesome jukebox (i.e. Pony by Ginuwine) read more

Angler's Haven is our favorite place on LCO!! Kelsey & Jordan are the most welcoming and warm proprietors!! They bend over backwards making sure they know their repeat customers favorite drinks and warmly welcome their new patrons. When we have company, they ALL request to go to Angler's!! We have 8 Grandchildren that LOVE the "resort dogs" Morgan & Penny. Our family would highly recommend this awesome, quaint "Tavern" "Resort" to anyone visiting the area!! read more

Well this is the first visit here for us and I have to say Kelsey and her staff made it a memorable time. By far the best bloody Mary we have had in Hayward!! We also enjoyed their food. read more

If you are not familiar with the area (and I am not familiar with the area:)) be mindful to watch for the streets as Angler's is located off the beaten path. Just like other restaurants you find along lakes this place is hidden and blends in with the cabins IMO that we would have drove by if we weren't looking specifically for it. The restaurant is located back off the shore so you aren't really getting a lake view while dining. My husband and I chose to sit outside. They have a very small patio and the place in general is not that big. Can't imagine where they fit everyone in the busy season. Anyways, our waitress was very friendly and we enjoyed the food we ordered. After reading the review Kris wrote I had to try the Musky Bread and it didn't disappoint. The bread had a creamy cheese on it - not sure if it was cream cheese or mayo they added but it was good! Hubby and I tried the BBQ Chicken pizza and we enjoyed that as well. Service was fast - would definately stop again:) read more

My family has been going to Angler's for over 30 years. We go at every opportunity and are never disappointed. Jordan and Kelsey are great owners who work their butts off to provide a great experience for all their guests. I can't say enough good things about them and the resort. The cabins are great and the food is always wonderful. We love the atmosphere and playing with the dogs. Highly recommended. read more

This is my family's FAVORITE family restaurant. We have been coming here 20+ years and enjoyed every single experience. Great food, great service and friendly people. My kids have grown up here with the "resort dogs" and NEVER once have we ever had a problem with the dogs. Angler's Haven Resort is a place we stop every single time we are at the lake. There is no place like it! Kelsey and Jordan are great owners and we are lucky to have a place like this to enjoy on our lake. read more

Great atmosphere, great services, and great pizza. Had a very good time visiting this establishment while in the area for the Birkie.

My family has owned a vacation home on Grindstone for 45 years and we've been going to Angler's (the restaurant, not the cabins) since it opened. Pizzas are great, musky bread and fried green beans are delicious. Service is solid and it's very kid friendly. Plus, there's a super cute black lab wandering around while you eat. We drive there, as even though Lac Court Orielles is technically accessible from Grindstone, the channel on Little Grindstone is rarely deep enough to get a pontoon through. Angler's is one of the top three best eating options in the area! read more

Been going here ever since we bought our lake home in 2000! Menu has changed since then but the pizzas are "unbelievably good" Owners are great hosts, planes fly low, and great refreshments are served with smiles! read more

I found Angler's Haven the last time I was visiting my brother in Hayward and ended up going back twice (would have been more if we had more time). Their pizzas are fantastic! I love the Firehouse, thin crust, extra sauce, well done. My brother likes the BBQ Chicken and the Jerk. They serve freshly-popped pop corn when you sit down. I season them up with their italian seasoning, parmesan and butter salt sprinkle - I eat two bowls! The owners are wonderful and truly care about their customers. They are constantly walking around making sure that everyone is happy. And a happy girl I am! ;-) read more

Always a favorite. Pizza is fantastic! Our family always enjoy the people and ambiance. Casual and fun!
