It is a bit of a bittersweet story about my first Pine Ridge experience. My grandma grew up in this…read morearea, and this was her favorite place to get fried fish. She always talked about it and would eat here any time she was back in the area. I hoped to visit with her someday. She was supposed to go in July 2025 with some family, but was sick and not able to make the trip from her home in KC. Unfortunately she recently passed away, and our family gathered in Wisconsin for her memorial service. Pine Ridge was so gracious and accommodating and opened early for about 30 of us to visit and have grandma's favorite fried fish experience after we had her service. It was unbelievably good, and I now know why grandma loved coming to Pine Ridge all those years. Nothing better than being with family enjoying amazing food. The staff was so kind and accommodating, the restaurant was beautiful, and none of us left hungry. Until next time!

Hands down - best fish fry experience in WI. Maryanne was the sweetest server I think I've ever…read moreencountered. Start to finish -- our expectations were exceeded. We started and finished our meal with fry bread, which was absolutely delicious. I appreciated that the fish fry was family style, and included broiled and fried fish AND fried chicken. All was absolutely delicious. The place itself is amazing. From the lake views, to the outdoor bar, it's a true up north gem. If you're in the area and don't visit, you're missing out. Tip - Arriving at 4pm guarantees you just enough time to enjoy an Old Fashioned before your table is ready. Get there 30 minutes later and you'll likely be waiting. Thanks, Pine Ridge for a wonderful experience!!

Our order came rapidly and the food was pretty good. The pizza was tasty although the crust was not that great unless one likes a crispy crust. The chicken burger was absolutely great with the coleslaw. The service was possibly the best we have had in a very long time. Extremely friendly and funny as well as courteous. Deserves 5 stars for the service. If ever around here again, we would certainly stop in again.

Manny's special was more than enough food and tasted home made. Yes, some may judge this place as a diner. But the waitress here was attentive and sweet. I think it's important to support local business especially in a small town. We hope others will try this place out and this family-owned business can remain open! If we lived here as residents, we would come more often.

When we walked in the menu of the day was offering crab legs that usually hard to find in Wisconsin. The place has old fashion decor, we even laughed at Christmas lights in the August.

So to be completely honest, I heard of this place by meeting kin of the owner, at a bar one night…read more It was late, but I took the recommendation and ran with it...

Salad bar was fresh and plentiful!!! Service was honest and awesome!! The cost was very reasonable! We will be back soon!!

Quirky. Cozy little restaurant on US Highway 2 just outside…read moreof Hurley. Excellent food. There seems to be a lot if things assumed here: 1. All specials (appetizers, entrees, desserts) are written in a chalkboard in the entry hallway. These specials will not be repeated by waitstaff nor will they appear in writing anywhere but in the chalkboard. 2. The protocol on arriving is to walk through the entry hallway, take a sharp right into the bat area and wait, standing at end if bar until someone acknowledges your presence and registers your party. 3. You may wait awhile until anyone acknowledges or waits on you. The food here is excellent, as is the service, once you pass step 3 above. Serving sizes are generous. I highly recommend the "specials", I had the broiled Lake Superior whitefish in a bed of carmelized onions with garlic butter sauce. Suoerb! Talking to locals, this is the best food in the area.

Have tried other options around and they tend to be more tourist trap typed over priced option.

Fish and ribs were very good, but never got my dinner salad, no butter for baked potato, no water after numerous requests. No one came to ask if we needed anything.

Getting really frustrated every dinner out is no longer enjoyable.
