The food? Spot on. Ambience? Comfortable and quirky. Staff? I can't say enough about the charming, friendly, knowledgeable humans at this place. Would 100% come again. Also the water glasses are gorgeous. read more

Had the woodland ravioli and it's amazing!! Fiancée has chicken Parmesan and my meal was the favorite of the 2. Bang band shrimp appetizer was also very good. Ate at the bar and service was alright. Nothing outstanding. Attempted to watch the start of packer playoff game and nothing but TV problems so we left. read more

The food here is seriously delicious. Everything tastes incredibly fresh and you can tell it's homemade -- nothing feels prepackaged or rushed. The flavors are spot on and the quality really stands out. The atmosphere has a laid-back, relaxed vibe that makes it easy to enjoy your meal, and the service is consistently good. The staff is friendly and attentive without being overbearing, which I really appreciate. My only small complaint would be the portion sizes for the price. The food is excellent, but I did wish there was just a little more on the plate given what you're paying. Overall, it's a great spot for fresh, homemade food in a relaxed setting. read more

The staff were so friendly and accommodating! We got to sit outside and enjoy a lovely day. We had chicken Marsala and the special seafood linguini and both were delicious. I had a side salad with really good dressing. Our server told us the dressings were all made in-house, which is always a good sign for a restaurant. We will definitely return when we're in Ironwood again! read more

We dropped in here while traveling from Wisconsin to Houghton, MI. The staff here were fun. We had a bowl of some beer cheese soup they'd worked up in the kitchen and it was fantastic. We were there in the lunch timeslot. Service was solid, food was good. Plenty of parking. Not far from the Stormy Kromer factory and store. read more

Food is absolutely delicious, 100% recommended, 12/10 and so on. Great service, very friendly, relaxed environment and definitely a place I'd recommend to anyone! read more

We saw they had good reviews so gave it a try. The food was good and hot when it finally arrived at the table , it took almost 25 minutes, not from the server probably from the kitchen. At least they had the TVs on to watch sports. It seemed to be more of a bar first that serves good food than a restaurant that serves alcohol. Loud and noisy but not in a bad way just good socializing. Everyone knows your name type of place. Fish and shrimp combo was good, so was the grilled haddock. read more

I don't know what happened, if they have a new cook or what.. I usually don't have an issue with the food. My boyfriend and I both had the spaghetti and meatballs. Neither of us liked it, we didn't even finish it. I was was just nasty! Tasted like tomatoe paste from a can. The only that was decent was our appetizer which was bourbon chicken. Won't be back! 80.00 for food that tastes horrible. read more

I stopped for lunch with friends. We waited for 10 min for the waitress to come over to get out drink orders. Another long wait before they came. Placed our food orders. Waited over a half hour to get sandwiches. My chicken melt was cold. The others said their food was ok but not worth the wait. We wished we had brought cards so we could play euchre! The waitress never checked us to see if we were ok. read more

What a cute, small restaurant with plenty of outdoor seating. I didn't go inside, so I can speak to the interior, but the outdoor area had several large bench/picnic like tables. The seats were not incredibly comfortable but it did the job.We called ahead of time and told them we would have 12 people. They informed us that they didn't have a table large enough to accommodate us, which I expected, but we were able to split up into two groups without a problem. The food took a long time to get to us and one table was finished eating before the other table of ours even got their food. I get this, because we were a large party, but it was kinda a pain. I had a burger that was a typical burger and tasty. I was very pleased that they had gluten free and vegan options, especially in a small town. Everyone's food was pretty good, filling, and good for the price. I'd recommend if you are in the area. read more

My husband and I are visiting the area for a few nights and decided to try this place. After waiting an hour for our food, it was bland at best. We then waited another 25 minutes for the bill in which I had to go up to the bar to pay as we were sick of waiting. As we are walking out, our waitress had the audacity to follow us out and ask why we didn't leave a tip. We were in the restaurant for over 2 hours for a drink and ordered specials. Our waitress can make her customers wait as long as we did for our drinks, food and bill, but does not hesitate to run after us to our vehicle asking for a tip. Although we live hours away, I guarantee that if we visit this area again, we will NEVER stop at this establishment or recommend it to other friends or family that frequent the area. read more

The pasta was fantastic! The service was amazing with family friendly atmosphere that is welcoming... btw, you have to try the cheesecake it's better than New Yorks finest! Which is definitely saying something. This place won't disappoint you! read more

Great food and wonderful service . Our waitress Sara was amazing! Live in Ashland and have been looking for a place like this for a very long time, will definitely be back! read more

Great food! Vegan options were delicious! Wonderful service. The chef offered many options and prepared the food perfectly. They also make a good dirty martini! read more

Everyone in our group loved their meals. Crispy chicken sandwich, Ironwood burger, and Buffalo chicken wrap were all delicious. Homemade fries were amazing. Staff is super friendly. Good music playing. Very clean place. read more

The food was GREAT.. BUT the service was not great. We were seated efficiently at 6pm. Took forever for the appetizer of cheese curds and then ordered just a steak salad and the Ironwood hamburger that took another hour to receive while inquiring periodically with the owner. The daughter bartender did not appear to be happy..appeared as no real interest in helping with the new waitress that needed help tending tables....just an overall disappointing experience....& it was not busy - pick up orders must take priority over visiting patrons....finally left after 2.3H!! was not impressive / disappointed with new ownership of Don & GGs. read more

Amazing food. They never disappoint. I had the shrimp dinner and hubby had the ironwood burger... cooked perfectly. We had the Sarah as our server and it doesn't get better than that! Their entire staff is top notch but Sarah is the cream of the crop. read more

Great food , the new owners really turned over the place. And it's nice because in the summer time there is outside seating too. Love having more options in a smaller town. read more

Food and service were fantastic for my friends and I! They always go the extra for us!

Unfortunate atmosphere ownerS stood idly by as children tore the place apart whilst spitting on other party's of people will never step foot in there again strongly recommend dinning at other establishments. The food I ordered came burnt and unidentifiable. Are waitress victim of circumstance desirves a fat raise. She did the best she could. But the owner was a total flop. read more

Our friends drove us to this place to try the drinks & the food. I did not see anything on tap but they had a pretty good assortment of beers, sans Guinness, which is my favorite. On the food side, my friends loved both their burgers (Atomic & Vegan Spy vs. Spy). My wife had the Woodland ravioli. My wife said it was pretty good but would have been better if they had bechamel sauce (ran out). As for me I got the Lake Superior smoked trout salad which was fantastic with that sweet onion vinegarette dressing. Chef Tony created a salad masterpiece. Place was nice & cozy. Staff very friendly. We will definitely be back! read more

It's a bar. Not a restaurant. Just order beer and you should be ok. You could get something better at a fast food chain. Far better. So if you want to hang out in a hot building and drink warm beer, this is your place. As far as service, it took 45 minutes to get a salad and wrap. My lettuce was warm, wilted and soaked in dressing. The waitress was very nice though, and kept our glasses full. read more

I don't expect many vegetarian options in small towns but this place delivered! I ordered a vegetarian pasta dish with vegan Italian sausage and marinara sauce. The sauce was clearly homemade, with big chunks of garlic, yum!! The salad was also delicious and fresh. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was the service. It was not good, our server was slammed and forgot to bring us drinks and the check. read more

Good food, fair service. They refused to give separate checks for 2 couples and 1single person. The waitress told us to split it even, yet one couple had drinks and a single person should not have to pay the same as a couple. Took all the pleasure out of eating out. This definitely reflected on the tip. read more

First of all, sorry for the lack of photos here. We took our food to go, and the pictures in the styrofoam (please move to a more sustainable packaging, Don & GG) packaging did not do the food justice. Hard to find vegan options in most of the UP, but this joint has some good ones! We went with the bean burger and the vegan fish fry. And while the bean burger was good, the vegan "fish" was awesome! Our research told us this was the thing to get, and the research did not lie. The person behind us was picking up two orders of vegan fish fry as well! If in the UP, go support this place so we can keep getting a few options in upper MI. read more

i drove 3 hours north and had my day planned. I heard the place had amazing food. went with my girlfriend and her family. ordered steak for everyone 2 of us ordered medium well and the other was well done. got our salads and the dressing was almost frozen the tomatoes on it were frozen. then 40 minutes later got our food.... the steak came with a spoon full of beans 5 tiny potato bites the steak that we wanted medium was rare and bloody even smelt undercooked the well done steak we ordered was cooked medium rare. not very happy. They said it took so long because they couldn't get the well done steak well done..... and then when I asked them if we can get the cheese curds we ordered as a appetizer for 11 bucks for free they said no sorry. each steak was 32 dollars and cooked bad and took forever and small. I will never go back there. the cheese curds we ordered for 11 bucks was a tiny handful and were hollow shells of cheese. very unsatisfying. I had high hopes for this place and have been very disappointed. very high prices for poor cheap made food read more

We were driving through and stopped in. Service was amazing and food was great. My husband had the burger and I had the turkey sandwich on cranberry. Would definitely recommend. read more

Always wanted to try this place. Was a busy night. Seating was tight after a long wait. Most of the food was alright. The lighting was so poor that we had to use our iPhone light to see if the walleye was cooked. It was not lol. The rest of the meal was cooked enough and tasted fine. The waitress doubted we were telling the truth so we used our iPhones to show her how raw it was. We like sushi but not walleye sushi we told her lol. Unamused, she ultimately took the walleye part of the meal off our bill. We haven't been back since. read more

I am really sorry to write a bad review, especially for a privately owned restaurant but the food was horrible. I cannot believe that a kitchen would serve such terrible food. The onion ring appetizer had six small burnt onion rings for like $8.00. The kids meal had hearty bread, which is odd for kids and hardly any cheese. The beer cheese soup tasted old and gross. The chicken strip basket was ok but no way the fries are fresh cut fries, they are frozen and nothing special. The shrimp basket was supposed to have six shrimp, it only had four shrimp and was $14! And one of the shrimp was some weird piece. The chicken quesadillas had hardly any meat or veggies and the chips and salsa were so boring and generic. Our server was nice. The bartender was rude and acted like she couldn't be bothered with us yet that's where I had to pay the bill. I also got charged a credit card charge fee. I spent all that money on bad food, so disappointing. Plus it was so hot in the restaurant. Just an all around waste of time and money. I hope others have a better experience. read more

I came here with my husband and baby recently when I was back home visiting family. I was curious if the food was as good as it used to be, and it was a good day to sit out on their beautiful patio. Overall we had a great dining experience! We started off with some delicious beers on draft and an order of the cheese curds. They were not the delicious gooey greasy mess that they used to be, but they still tasted good enough for my husband to polish them off quickly. For my main course I had the garden salad with chicken. I was thrilled to find that they still had the same salad on the menu with tons of delicious toppings including green peppers, mushrooms, sprouts and sunflower seeds. When the salad came out it didn't have the sprouts as listed on the menu but when I brought it up with my server she was quick to correct the issue by bringing out a side of sprouts. It hit the spot, tasting exactly how I remember it! My husband got the chicken ceasar wrap with fries and was very happy. He liked that the wrap had a good balance of juicy chicken, green lettuce and tomatoes. He also liked that the wrap was sun-dried tomato flavored. The fries were perfectly crispy (I also sampled these and enjoyed them). I was really happy to have the same great meal that made me love Don & GG's when I lived in Ironwood, and my husband was just happy to have a great meal on a nice patio. We will definitely return! read more

Extremely accommodating. Excellent beer and vegan options! Our server picked up one of my party was vegan and let us know every vegan option they had which was more than we were expecting. Super friendly and nice outside area. read more

Great fish and an enormous amazing baked potato. Cool outside seating area with great service. Good price and good food.

Stopped here on a Monday night as we were passing through. Food wasn't bad but service from our waitress was awful. It was a beautiful evening for early October and we saw several customers eating outside so we asked to be seated outside. Our server said she preferred that we not because they were "slammed" and it would be easier if we didn't so we sat inside. She took our drink & meal orders timely but we waited 45 minutes or more for our 2 sandwiches which would have been okay if our server would have come back to see if we needed anything or let us know approximate ETA but she never did; in fact, I wanted another beer so I had to go get it at the bar myself. The bartender was very apologetic. I tried to get our waitress's attention after a half hour of waiting; asked her what she thought the ETA would be and she turned her back on me and put her hands up as if to say it wasn't her problem. So insulting. The bartender ended up coming over to our table and apologized again for the poor service. I don't know if they will survive if that kind of service continues. We did appreciate the bartender going out of her way though. read more
