Let me start with this, I have been going to Eagle River since I was in grade school, with my buddy…read moreand his parents (40+ years). A lot has changed since then. Somehow, I never was here. The rep and other reviews intrigued me, so away we go. We walked in on a Wednesday, and it was pretty busy! Good sign. I heard all about the horseradish and I had to try it. Greeted, by a fine young man server/bartender, and he was very helpful with what we were looking for. We both got the double smash burger. She had the chips and I got the coleslaw. We both had a Bloody Mary, and I say they are right up there with the best I had. The burger sauce was delicious, the garlic mayo was delicious, and everything was fresh and skillfully made. The coleslaw was excellent and I know this is weird, but I'm a coleslaw fanatic. All the tap beers we had were fresh and tasted so good, it made you want to keep on sippin". Awesome time and experience. Horseradish and Mustard: these two items deserve their own review. Both are sold in house, along with the burger sauce. The server brought us over both with some pretzels. He did warn me, but I never listened to such words of wisdom. Being a horseradish junky, I tried a little fork full on my burger. Well, HELLO! It was good/spicy/hot/and all that. I wanted to try it on the pretzel, to see how it was alone. Took a good chunk and put her on there....took a bite....and ooooh shit....the check engine light came on in my body. I felt like I was being poisoned by toxic mustard gas in WWI. I didn't know whether to cough, puke, gag....I was in the weeds for a good minute. I seen my life flash before me, teleported to the third dimension. I know this sounds like I am a wimp, but I am no such thing. All i can say is, try it for yourself!!! It was a ride I will never forget. The mustard is along the same lines. Kind of like a Chinese mustard. The Bloody Mary was horseradish forward and I tell ya, this is a horseradish junkies paradise. Again, a great time, the Hamm's was the beerefreshing, and I can't wait to go back to the third dimension again. See illustrations for more.

His area was for only about 10 people at a quiet bar so he had to know we were sitting there with empty glasses. Then, after ordering another round of drinks, he immediately told people who entered the place that we were almost done and they could have our seats as we were leaving soon. We learned that Dave is a friend of the owner so guessing this is how the place is run. Why would we return for so-so food (spending over $200 for five people) and this type of service from the bartender?

Managing a waitlist for tables is not rocket science. We ate at the bar instead. And beware, if you order a pizza other than what their standard menu offerings are, suddenly you are paying for each individual ingredient. For example, we ordered a meats pizza and added three toppings. Instead of paying ~$20 plus what the additional 3 toppings cost we ended up paying $50 plus for a 15" pizza because each ingredient was itemized separately. Ridiculous! It's enough to make us not want to go back, regardless of how good the pizza was.

Classic supper club menu, and its true what they say as all the steaks come out drawing attention like the fajitas at a mexican restaurant, on a plate sizzling. All the food was great and the staff was so friendly! They mentioned it was definitely a slow night (due to the holiday) so glad we stopped by when we did!
