I hate to rate (whoa, rhyme!) a place solely based on a singular visit, however I do think this…read moreoccasion is appropriate. Scenario- weekday visit- two first time guests. Walked in and was awkwardly greeted by locals (turning around away from their usual bar seats) staring at me deliberately as I entered like that of outlaws in a western film observing an outsider. (Maybe I'm just that hot? Haha! No way) Anyway, the uncomfortable awkwardness was instantly wiped away by our adorable server. She promptly greatest us kindly, in her northern plaid attire, fair complexion and strawberry blonde hair. She kept very good care of us throughout our visit, but my one complaint is- she never offered a drink menu to us. In a bar that's a bit strange. Ever been the sole sober table in a bar? Unfortunately I have many, many times. In bar standards the food was good, and for the price I would recommend.

We stopped by The Pickle Loon while staying at a family cabin down the road. Even on a Monday, the…read moreplace was packed!! It started raining before we arrived, so I think everyone headed inside at once, but we were able to grab seats at the bar and still received great service. I ordered the AYCE walleye. The portions were a little smaller than I expected, but the fish was good and I especially enjoyed the hush puppies. My husband ordered the Loon Burger and said it was one of the best burgers he's had in a while. The only downside was the wait for the second round of walleye, which took close to 30 minutes. By then we were ready to leave, so we ended up taking it to go. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely come back to try some of the other menu items!!

I was super excited to try this place since the cabin is only 10 min away. I was really wanting a…read moreburger for lunch and their menu looked amazing. We arrived, and sat ourselves. Cute place, very large bar. I got a gin bloody which seemed watered down, not the best. The rim salt was crunchy large pieces of whatever spices, it was odd. We were handed breakfast menus. Since it was 11:25am, I asked when lunch started since that's what we came for. They told us noon. We decided to stay anyway since we were hungry and already settled with drinks. Ordered off the very limited breakfast menu. Food arrived, I got the smothered hash browns which were very greasy but good. My boyfriend got the biscuits and gravy. NO THANK YOU. The biscuits were overcooked and chewy, the gravy was lumpy and slimy with minimal meat in it. 30 seconds later a table who ordered the same time we did had their food delivered. It was 11:42am. CHEESEBURGERS AND FIRES! Must be nice to have that inside connection. Not impressed, the waitress wasn't super friendly either. We won't be back.

Unfortunately, this wasn't the best first experience we were hoping for. The food was…read moredisappointing--it tasted like it had been reheated rather than made fresh, and the quality didn't justify the prices. Service was also lacking. The atmosphere didn't make up for it either. The space felt dark, dated, and sticky, which made it less inviting than we'd hoped. Overall, we left feeling that the experience didn't match the cost. I hope some improvements are made, as this place has the potential to offer a much better dining experience. It is well-known in the area but didn't live up to its reputation.

We got burgers and sandwiches, and they were just fine. The fries good by 1985 standard, but like beer, in the last 2 decades there's been a revolution in fry quality nationwide, and I'm now spoiled by fantastic fries almost everywhere I eat.

The proprietors…read moreare serving up authentic modern Vietnamese and Thai dishes, alongside standard up north favorites like burgers and fish and chips. Two of us had the Pad Thai, one had steak and potatoes, and the other Szechuan tofu. The Pad Thai stands up to any version I've had anywhere, a strong and solid offering with the tanginess of tamarind balanced with fresh chopped cilantro. The traditional beef and potatoes dish can be hit and miss, but this one balanced potatoes with crispy edges and pillowy starchiness with quality strips of steak, all stir fried together in just enough brown sauce to bring it together. The tofu and snap peas in a spicy Szechuan sauce were flavorful and hearty enough after appetizers. We didn't get pictures of the egg rolls, which are as good as you'll find in these parts and the spring rolls, which were slightly less authentic than we'd hoped. We finished off with lemon bar ice cream, Vietnamese flan, and a toffee Bundt cake. Red Pine Cookhouse is a visually impressive log building with plenty of natural light flowing in through the many windows and a curved staircase leading up to a game room for the kids. We enjoyed the evening on the patio. We were thrilled to have been introduced to this gem of a restaurant, and look forward to our next trip back!
