A nice place. Service was some of the best I've ever had. Food was solid, but not the best. I will…read moresay that I think it is as good as I expected it to be, but I always hope it'll be better thus I am not leaving a 5-star review. Fried pickles spears with the rock n roll sauce were great. I wouldn't have ordered these except my server recommended them out of all the apps, so I went with that. Fried things at places like this usually lack flavor and are just salty, fried bar food. These had some kick. The rock n roll sauce was like a Mayo with Frito's Chili Cheese Twists, so they were yummy. Tilapia on wild rice was ok, but it's tilapia, so how amazing can it be, right? Broccoli wasn't too over cooked and it still had a healthy green color, so I was happy with that. And the fries were a tad greasy, but they came out hot and crunchy. I think if they let the oil drain off them a bit more under a heat lamp, they'd hold their crispness a bit longer. Oh, and it was an entire plate of fries, so portions were generous. Lastly, everything was served very quickly. The place wasn't super-busy, but it wasn't dead and I was happy about the timeliness. I ordered an app first then placed an order for my entree after munching on that. And I was out done in 45 minutes. Granted, I was eating alone, but still. If you enjoy meat, I highly recommend giving this place a shot. I am a pescatarian (mostly vegetarian) and I have a sneaking suspicion that their beef and chicken options have much more developed flavors.

They have a varied menu and offer a lot of options. I'm a vegetarian, so steak wasn't part of my plans, but I did end up choosing the standard side for a steak, a fully loaded baked potato. I had hoped for an IPA, but they explained that they'd offered them in the past without much interest from their regulars. I ended up drinking a couple of Sam Adams, and that complemented my potato nicely. Everyone was very friendly and the prices were good. The menu items on Yelp were out of date, so I took photos of the present menu. I forgot to take a photo before I started mashing my potato...better late than never. I would definitely go back if I'm passing through again! They also have two pool tables and a dart board, if you like them.

Didn't seem overly excited that there were outside of the normal folks there, but we were greeted and served. The food was basic. Fried gizzards were ok as were the mozzarella sticks. Seemed like the oil needed to be changed. Nothing special about the nachos. The Tap Patty Melt was bland. The bread had a bit of an off taste from the griddle. Overall, it was food and wasn't completely horrible, just not great.

With a full bar, they served everything! There were several tables of couples; the fellas having beer and the ladies enjoying some very colorful concoctions! My mom was chilled so she ordered the soup of the day. Very hearty! She loved it! I ordered the 1/2 Broasted Chicken. I must confess....when it arrived it was so juicy and perfectly crispy that I dove right in forgetting to take a picture!!!! When we arrived, and right before we left, we used the restroom! Very clean! Smelled fresh even later in the evening! Thank you for that! Wish I was closer! I would eat here often! MOST SINCERELY

We had beers first, super cold, a great way to finish a long day and start our meal. I ordered the Walleye Sandwich with a side salad. My wife ordered the small appetite slider meal. When our meals came out we were pleasantly surprised. The slider was just the right size, perfectly cooked and the fries were perfect. The salad came out first and it was very nice, fresh vegetables very tasty. The fish came out on a hoagie roll. The portion of fish was huge. Perfectly cooked, tasty white meat with a sauce, lettuce, onions and tomato. I devoured it. The whole experience was excellent at a reasonable cost.

Knotty Pine Supper Club is where you need to go.

We went here after a long day at The Summit League Tournament and we didn't have time to change into a collared shirt but they let us right in without any judgment.
