She was extremely communicative. Tons of food options and all well-priced. Food came out very fast. I got the veggie omelet. The veggies could have been cooked through a little more, but it was still very tasty! Cute train decor everywhere. Bathrooms were a little dirty.

Regulars joke with the waitstaff, and you'll often hear a cheerful "Coming through!" as they navigate the busy floor. It's my favorite spot for a nostalgic, no-frills breakfast.

I have had really good experiences with the Pork, Duck, Salmon, and Walleye. The only cons for me are the ribs (which are done the way they have always have and I just don't like the style, it's too much like ham for me) and the Ribeye (I'm not a fan of the blackening and there is usually too much fat for me). Beyond those two, you should come here for the best Supper Club vibe up here. Order a Martini or Manhattan up (you get the mixer and extra drink). Stay for a Brandy Alexander or other ice cream drink.

Our in laws suggested this restaurant as it's the only white table cloth kind of joint in the area…read more They made a reservation at 5pm on a Friday. Doors opened promptly at 5pm. They have a few happy hours. Senior meal is 5pm-5:30pm and happy hour for their martinis is 5pm to 6pm where all martinis are half off. Typically they are $14 so it's a good happy hour. My in laws were able to get 3 in before happy hour was over. They deliver warm bread and provide a plate of cheese and oil to dip. For an appetizer we got the fried ravioli and it came with about 6 ravioli in a pesto sauce and with a drizzle of balsamic and chopped tomatoes on top. For dinner I opted for the Walleye. They give you a large fillet and it came with mashed potatoes and the seasonal vegetables which happened to be butternut squash and zucchini. The whole meal was delicious. They even treated my husband and father in law to a slice of cheesecake to celebrate their birthday. Throughout the meal our waitress was attentive and appreciated paying using the QR code as it helped her on a busy night.

Food was solid--my Tossed & Seared steak salad was tasty, and the Smokeshow burger is a must if you like bleu cheese and balsamic. The vibe was great for a modern bar, and the outdoor patio was super cute. Service was fine overall, though my friend's "large" walleye dinner came out as a small plate of walleye fingers, which seemed like a mix-up. All in all, good food + fun atmosphere = worth a visit.

A steak place in the lower level and a very large breakfast and lunch area on the main, you won't have any trouble getting a table. Cool log cabin type wood with lots of cool Northwoods decor. The service is very quick and efficient mainly due to the fact that they have plenty of servers. Kind of a rarity these days. The breakfasts are simple but huge and very tasty. And don't forget about the coffee. Much to choose from and a great value. And lots of made from scratch items.

Clancy's has a great spot right on the lake. The inside is casual and inviting. They also have…read moreoutdoor seating and events they put on. There are only about 3-4 dining options in and around the lake so Clancy's is usually busy. That's the good stuff. Unfortunately the food does not impress. We ordered 2 fish and chips. What we got were decent fries and 4 tiny fish nuggets. We paid $17. For each order. I was shocked when we got these tiny little fish nuggets when we're right here on the lake where fish is bountiful. I was so disappointed. I gave one star for the location and one star for the nice guy that took our order. But that's all I got. Clancy's need to focus on improving the quality of food on their menu. Sadly, I don't think I will go back.

This place has a wonderful community vibe and you will leave having made new friends (there is also a "quiet side" of the restaurant you can sit at if you'd prefer to be left alone instead). Andy was our server and he was absolutely amazing. Can't say enough good things about the guy. He was just and all around good guy and is one of the reasons the restaurant feels like going over to your friend's house for a hot dish. He was friendly, attentive, fantastic at his job, and took the time to make us feel right at home. The food was awesome. Hubby got a burger and tots and I got the wings and a salad. All fantastic.
