    The Flame has expanded their menu recently and it now has a little something for everyone. The…read morerecent remodel has really turned this restaurant into a destination via land or water. With dockage for at least 24 boats, you won't have to worry about not being able to get a spot. Ample parking for cars is also available. Dining outside was very nice. Our server, Sarah, was awesome and gave us the full scoop on the remodel and made us feel right at home. The cocktail and beer list was extensive and reasonable. If you are a rum fan, some fun bucket drinks are available for the table. We had a tasty margarita with our cheese curd appetizer. For an entree we had the fish sandwich, chicken sandwich with onion straws and a chicken Cesar. The food and drinks were tasty and fairly priced. The service and ambiance were excellent. We look forward to seeing The Flame continue to grow for the remainder of the year into next season. Definitely add this to your go-to list!

    The Flame has opened under new management recently…read more The bar / restaurant is constructed with an open concept. One drawback to this concept was that it was loud and it was difficult to have a conversation. Indoor & outdoor seating were provided. The view was good, especially closer to sunset. The staff were friendly and nice. Service was good considering the recent opening and training of staff appeared to be occurring. The menu was limited at this time. I understand it will be expanded. I could not complain about the food. It tasted good and portion size was generous. The pizza, I admit, was one of the better ones I've recently eaten. The crust was thin and crispy with a very good flavor. Over all I would recommend The Flame to family and friends.

We noticed that their menu had a separate area for wings so we knew they weren't your typical heavily-battered, deep fried wings. Fisher's is just a tad off of the main drag but still easy to find. It's located on a lake which was hard to see in the dark but I'm sure is beautiful during the day. I believe they have a handful of resort cabins for rent but again, it was hard to see in the dark. The bar itself is pretty small but very welcoming. They had it decorated nicely for the holiday season making it feel cozy. It's one of those bars that everyone turns to look at you when you walk in. The difference with this spot was everyone said hello instead of just staring at you. There was one bartender that took really good care of everyone. When we first arrived I was afraid we wouldn't be getting food (couldn't smell any cooking and there wasn't anyone else eating) but I think we were just early for dinner. We went with 2 dozen wings; sweet chili and hot buffalo. While they took a little longer than expected they were WORTH EVERY SECOND. These are some of the best wings we've ever had, anywhere. They were extremely meaty, perfectly crispy fried, and sauced. We actually finished them all - delicious. They have a special on their wings on Wednesdays. I noticed they have a pizza deal on Saturdays and a chicken dinner deal on Sunday. Service was great, wings were great, drinks were a good pour for a fantastic price. This will absolutely be our new place for wings.

    I would sacrifice a pinky toe if we had a place like this back home…read more Atmosphere: They are not allowing dine-in during COVID, carry out only or they have outdoor seating you can reserve. YAY THEM for standing up for themselves and protecting their employees. Gravel parking lot, out front. Service: They had our order ready for pick up 20 minutes after placing it, super easy transaction. Food: JUST SHUT UP, SIT DOWN, AND EAT. The food is so good, I am almost welling up with tears knowing how far away this place is and I won't get to eat here anytime soon. The smoked chicken wings with the cherry rub will be starring in my food dreams frequently. So juicy, tender and SO MUCH FLAVORRRRR. The mac n cheese bites were crispy and cheesy. The garlic cheese curds are legendary. The blue cheese dipping sauce for the wings was chunky good. I just love this place. Next time we visit, I doubt we'll be eating anywhere else the whole trip. I'd give this place 10 stars if it was an option.

    Unfortunately, under new ownership, this place has really gone downhill!…read more We went on a Friday night in July and the place was empty- this should have been our first clue. My husband and daughter ordered the Turkey sandwich- which used to be our absolute favorite sandwich. This time it was bone dry, lacked flavor, and was about half the size it used to be. It was a small pile of salty, dry meat on a roll. This sandwich used to be juicy, flavorful, and the portion was so generous that you could not eat the whole thing in one sitting. This time- it was so small, but nobody ate it all because it was so bad. I decided to try something different and ordered the Rueben. I asked the server (owner?) how it is and she said: "I don't eat Reuben, but people who do say it's the best they've ever had." So, I gave it a try. I can say with certainty that nobody has ever said that this sandwich was the best Reuben they've ever had. It was literally inedible. The meat had no flavor, and it was so fatty and rubbery that I literally could not even bite through it. When she came back to ask how it was, I politely told her that it was not good and she didn't apologize, take it away, or offer to take of off the bill. She told my husband to hurry up before I ate his sandwich instead and then walked away. So it sat untouched and we paid for it. I'm sorry now that we did. We should have insisted that she take it off the bill. Also, we ordered mozzarella sticks- they were not fried long enough and/or they were expired because they were mealy on the inside. Just nasty, honestly. And I know a lot of people don't care about this sort of thing, but I don't drink expired soda. I received a can of Diet Coke that was expired by five months. We left there disgusted and disappointed. This used to be one of our favorite places, but we will NOT be going back again.
