The staff as attentive to our table and quick. The drink menu was big. The daiquiri and pina colada were from a smoothie machine and not super frozen so on a hot day it doesn't last long. I got the chicken bacon ranch wrap with sweet potatoes fries. The sweet potato fries were good but feel like missing a dipping sauce with them. The wrap was a good portion, I prefer a little more sauce. The fish fry plate was big, 3 pieces of fish. The batter was crispy. The corn bread was yummy.

Sat outside close to the dock, was a beautiful sunny day and not too hot. Wifey had a salad with grilled chicken. Looked very good and ended up as part of the clean plate club.

One child had beef tacos, must not have been very good because only a half was eaten. Child number two had a corn dog and fries. Can't complain about the food, but the prices were a little high for what we received. Recommend as a great place to stop while on the lake but would not journey there for other meals.

A tiny bit disappointed the bun wasn't poppyseed, but it was good enough as is. We shared sides of sweet potato fries (generous portion) and onion rings. Both were tasty & hot. Topped it off with some drinks & it was a perfect lunch. Our server, Nancy, was friendly & attentive. The place is cute inside - a sizable bar with a small dining room, decked out in typical Northwoods fashion. Check it out!

The food is worth waiting for and the wait time is just what we need to have a real conversation with the company we are with. First time lunch stop was on a Friday fish day and walleye bites were ordered. The report is that they were delicious and were tasted by two in the party. I'm gf and don't care for fish so did not taste. The other party member had wings and said they were excellent along with his side of onion rings. I had the Philly cheesesteak sandwich on a gluten free bun. The bun held up well and the sandwich with a side of sweet potato fries was delicious. Second time here my husband had the special of Chicago style hot dogs, I had the steak sandwich on gf bun and the other in our party had the hot beef sandwich. We all enjoyed our meals and look forward to coming back. The food is just downright good for a fair price. Not sure why only one waitress but guessing they only need one for the kitchen to keep pace. There is seating outside but I think it is just used when they have entertainment. Everyone seems to be enjoying their bar seats and restaurant meals.

Service was wonderful and the views were absolutely breathtaking. Server also helped us navigate menu for gluten free options. We will definitely be back.

Lots of parking which might be really needed during the tourist season. Tonight's meal was so so. Was attracted to this place because it had a salad bar. Sadly a number of the offerings were gone, or almost gone. It needed attention! The special tonight was a Rib eye with a baked potato. The Rib Eye was cooked well and had decent seasoning, but the cut of meat was not very good. The cut quality was closer to what I'd expect at steak buffet than at a sit down restaurant. (Could very well have been just bad luck) but when you pay restaurant price for a nice steak you don't expect to get a bad one. It is still the "off" season, but this restaurant just seemed to be understaffed. I ate at the bar and the one bartender was working his but off. But waiting until he was done making drinks to get get butter for my potato (came without any) and salt and pepper got a but trying. Also getting an empty bottle of A1 Sauce was not impressive. Hopefully they have more staff when the real crowds get to town.

Whitman's is a longtime local bar and grill in Hazelhurst. I've been driving by since we purchased…read moreour local property in town 35 years ago. For a variety of reasons, last night was the first time we stopped in for a burger and beer. I'm sure it won't be the last. Orders for food and drinks are placed at the bar. You can eat at the bar or one of several tables just off to the side. Food and drinks are cash only and the kitchen doesn't have the capacity to serve groups larger than six to eight. They have a small but decent selection of tap beer and of course a full bar. The burger I ordered was as good as any I've had at a local bar and grill -- thick, juicy, topped with cheese, onions, mushrooms, and a tasty (though generic) BBQ sauce. An ample amount of fries (skin on) completed the basket. They offer a number of set combinations or you can "build your own" with any of the ingredients they stock in the kitchen. I might not be a regular--I only occasionally indulge in burgers like these--but I'll come back for another, hopefully sooner than 35 years from now.

We were enjoying our drinks and the bartender came out and told us he only had 1 burger left. This was before 1 pm on a Sunday.

The owner told us 2 Milwaukee DJs were up this weekend and they ended up getting tons of business, hence, they ran out of burgers. I understand how they won best burger a few years ago. May need to also try their Friday fish fry. Check them out!

Best fish fry in Rhinelander, the consensus of the locals. (Edited to add: Not all locals agree,…read moreand I was chastised by a local who thinks there is a better fish fry at a different place. I bow to his observation and will modify my statement to read that it is the consensus of SEVERAL locals that this is the best fish fry in town!) It's not often that a restaurant that is a part of a hotel gets rave reviews, and in many of the hostelries I've stayed in over the years, the restaurant was an afterthought. Not here! The restaurant is quite popular with residents of Rhinelander along with the hotel guests. I've been at The Claridge Inn (The Days Inn these days) on Fridays, and at the recommendation of relatives, I've always had the fish fry. They also offer baked haddock, one of my fellow diners ordered the haddock. She reported the dish was excellent. My beer battered cod was also excellent, a crispy shell with cod of a perfect consistency. The meal is offered with french fries, I opted to spend an extra dollar to substitute potato pancakes. The potato pancakes were also exceptional. Rhinelander has a number of really good restaurants, the Claridge is most certainly one of them.
