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!!

The renovation was amazing a the slick decor looks great. The service has been universally good. The food is consistent with some huge winners.

Come here or their sister place Lakes Tavern for good food and a fun time.

First time visit for breakfast based on recommendation from another fantastic local restaurant…read moremanager. The homemade jumbo carmel rolls (to go) were a hit with the kids and were still warm when I got home. The server waited to have to heated up until I was ready to go to ensure they would be warm. It was a great touch. Based on the recommendation did the breakfast burrito. So glad that I did as it was a meal for 2 but filled with eggs, sausage, bacon, cheese, shredded hashbrowns, and maybe some grilled onions. Then topped with queso cheese sauce and the option for spicy or default homemade salsa. I did the spicy salsa on the side for my half and the regular salsa on the side to go for the other half. Definitely a burrito for two. When the bartender found out that this was my first visit she walked me thru the menu and the specials that are available on the weekend (limited quantities smoked ribs and beef brisket) So glad that a trusted voice recommended I give Sunshine's a try. Great food and great staff.

Being right on the lake, the view is AMAZING. The food is a bit expensive, but definitely fits with the vibe. They have a really nice inside and outside for seating.

It felt like it was kind of in the middle of nowhere on the side of the highway, but we are glad we stopped. They had a big menu with lots of options, from appetizers to full meals to various desserts. We chose onion rings and the broasted half-chicken, with fries, basket to share. The onion rings were hot and crispy and we got a huge portion, more than we could eat! The chicken was moist and flavorful, with a crispy coating. The fries were pretty standard. Again, more food than the two of us could eat. Leftovers are always good though! They weren't busy in the middle of the afternoon, and we had great service. They were friendly and attentive.
