They work hard to make sure the customers are happy. Try the potato pancakes!! read more

Great food and atmosphere but pricey. Service was great. Four stars due to price. Breakfast should not cost $20 a plate.

We went to Era a couple times during our vacation in Minocqua. The first time was for lunch and it was average to good. The second time we went at breakfast time and it was a A++ Excellent and absolutely awesome. Yuliia V. Was our server for lunch and she was incredible, friendly, and efficient with her cadence of service. Our second visit, Jersey B was our waitress and she was also just as excellent and professional and friendly with her service. Very refreshing. For our visit on our second experience, I had the country fried steak, hashbrowns, two eggs and a full load of pancakes. This could've been my only meal of the day as it was quite a generous portion and an incredible value. On my first visit, I had the era hamburger which was good. Era is very clean, extremely efficiently operated and high-quality food with generous portions and a friendly and welcoming team. read more

Quick, clean, and according to my husband possibly the best hash browns he's ever had. I like that they have a variety of cold brew and espresso drinks on the menu. A little pricier than expected and not a ton of ambience. Staff was very friendly! read more

We just had a delicious breakfast at Era. The menu is expansive and everything is wonderful since we've been there a few times. It used to be a Dennys and the new owner did an excellent of rehab. It is very comfortable and inviting. Most of all the people are very friendly and service is excellent! You'll love it! read more

Went to ERA for post-church brunch and happy we did. As I walked in I saw tables groaning with the weight of breakfast plates, especially pancakes, skillets, and sausage gravy. Ordered were two skillets (including a pancake weighing about a pound), breakfast burrito (crunchy exterior, and, the below eggs Benedict. Not pictured is a side of hash to top it all off for our party of four. We all thought everything was very good and enough to fill up a lumberjack and his oxen! Service was very fast and cheerful so that sealed the deal. Looking forward to returning soon. read more

Great food, modern comfortable ambiance. The espresso drinks were ok but the food - skillets, pancakes, eggs were all delicious and serving sizes are plentiful. Pancakes are a must try if you like fluffy pancakes read more

Their food is decent to good for up here in the Northwoods (I'm from near north side of Chicago). HOWEVER...I ordered a carry out order that totaled $21 including tax. All I did was give my order to a server at the front counter and she took it to the kitchen. Well, I stupidly paid no attention to the ticket once the register lady printed it out and I signed off without looking at it.. a FIVE DOLLAR TIP was automatically put onto the ticket! That is INSANE and customers who eat at tables better check their tickets closely to make sure auto tips aren't being added on so they can tip their usual 20% or so and not be over-tipping. A $5 tip just for walking the order ticket 6 feet from front counter into kitchen???!!! Absolutely ridiculous and unacceptable. When I eat at a table at any restaurant, I always tip 20-22% but this crap??!!!! Unbelievable. read more

Went to AA's for brunch and they did not disappoint. Tried a new avocado toast with the smoked lox and it was delicious. Then we had the corn beef hash skillet, which was a good portion size and the mushroom spinach feta omelette with just egg whites and that was good too. Our waitress was very good and although the restaurant was busy, they served us in a timely fashion and made sure our water cups and coffee cups were full. Definitely will be going there again! read more

The problem slightly started as our food was given to another table, I mentioned to the waitress hope it was not touched by the other table. Then she never came back to our table until it was time to drop the check off. not even then asking how things were, so I mentioned that the corn beef hash breakfast was very mushy and looked very sloppy, she proceeded to tell me that is the way it is made. At the register paying I was asked how everything was and mentioned the same thing and now was told well it's sliced off something or another, and did I ask for a new meal? hard to ask if the waitress never comes back around your table. FOR A $18 plate of slop we will not return. By the way there was another set of people outside the restaurant saying their food was not good either. I just will let them know about their bad food, poor customer service and lack of training on ERA'S part read more

Wonderful place, large menu lots of options. Fresh squeezed orange juice and the food came out fast! Very friendly staff and stays busy but got us a seat right away. read more

Everything went well. The waitress was great and the food was phenomenal! Everyone at our table loved their food. To top it off, they serve warm syrup! That is almost unheard of these days. We do not live in the area. But plan to come back again for the ice skating in Boulder Junction. This will definitely be on the to do list. The service all around was over the top! read more

Wow. We have been here 3 times in person and one take out. Food has always been amazing along with great service. Our menu at a recent stop was with our daughter and 2 grandchildren. Our 6 yr old granddaughter had the Waffle's with strawberries and whipped cream. She ate all the bacon and had leftovers the next morning as most of us did also. Our grandson also enjoyed his Oreo infused pancakes. Most of that came home and grandpa helped finish up the pancakes and waffles. My breakfast burrito was delicious and half of that came home along with what was left of my potatoes. My granddaughter kept eating them in the restaurant so she got the leftover potatoes the next morning. Our daughter enjoyed her veggie omelette. She is following a special diet and was able to get everything she needed. My husband had the sausage and eggs which he sent home half the sausage to add to the leftover breakfast the next morning. Basically we all had two meals off of what we had ordered. Previously we had a take out of burgers, fries and onion rings. The burgers were delicious and hit the spot. We also tried the potato pancakes which were huge and good. Pancakes and waffles are served with warm real maple syrup. We had the million dollar bacon that was a delicious treat. My husband also tried the biscuits and gravy with eggs over easy which he enjoyed. We learned of this place in our process of moving here from the southern part of the state. We were traveling by Merril and stoping off at a restaurant called the Friendship House, run get off of Hwy 51. Their food was always good. One day paying our bill and getting into a conversation with the owner, he mentioned a restaurant his brother owned in Arbor Vitae and that is how we came to check this place out. There are plenty of good breakfast places in the area but so far ERA is our favorite everyday restaurant. read more

Breakfast on a Thursday morning: we got right in even though the place was bustling. Ambiance is cheerful, well organized and inviting. Great server-- prompt and courteous. Food was excellent--we had the Waffles&Berries with an add on of vegan sausage, and the Spinach Mushroom omelette with hash browns and toast. You get coffee with your own carafe for refills. There is plenty of parking and it's in a convenient location closer to Woodruff than Arbor Vitae. Absolutely nothing to complain about! read more

ERA is a great breakfast place! Quick and thoughtful service for our young family. We will be coming back!

Wonderful!! I love breakfast so much and got the best of it here. The only problem is that I couldn't try everything ... I am truly sad about that. I guess I need to go back. Side note: the chocolate milk is insanely good. I wasn't expecting anything out of the ordinary but the first sip knocked my socks off. I'm 100% sure it came out of a glass bottle. read more

We really enjoyed our breakfast at ERA! Lots of options on the menu, and for getting there at around 10:30am in a rainy Saturday, I was impressed with the short wait we had (only about 20 minutes). Our server was very nice and attentive. We got our food very quickly, but we also ordered right away when we sat down. The building is a little older, but still in pretty good shape. I would like to see more coffee options on the menu since there are so many options for everything else. We will definitely consider coming again if we are in the area! read more

Second review: We came again while in the area, as we remembered having some decent food here. And it was SO good again. First I have to say that everyone from the greeter to the man bringing water and coffee to the waitress to the checkout woman- all of them were warm, friendly and attentive. The people working here are REALLY first rate. My friend had the eggs Benedict with avocado and breakfast potatoes again because it was so good last time and she just loved it on round 2. I had the vegetarian melt, which was very good and flavorful with an excellent meaty cheese. Plus yummy french fries. There were plenty of customers but the service was fast and you never felt hurried. Really good job. Thank you to everyone there. read more

Amazing food! Have to eat here every time we are in town! I get the Era's skillet every time too. Super fast service and cleanup, everyone is always friendly and their fresh squeezed orange juice is to die for! I also order a side of hollandaise cause it's so good. We haven't had anything bad, have also tried the banana bread French toast, Country Fried steak, croque madame and the sweet cream crepes were also amazing. Highly recommend! read more

Service was awesome. My English muffins were burned on the bottom of my second one. Still good tasting eggs benedict though.

Excellent small-town-type restaurant. Food is outstanding, service is perfect. Be sure and try the smoked bacon - it is other worldly great.

It was a really good choice, and the service was great. Recommend checking out if you are looking for more than just a greasy diner

great service and gluten friendly options are really good. My son says "it's so good I want to come here every single morning".

This was a wonderful experience, staff is great, seating was fast, the way the restaurant was set up was fantastic, the food was a 10/10, I had the Berry Blast French Toast and it was fantastic. Homemade whipped cream too. Overall, 10/10. read more
