What a wonderful discovery for us on Tuesday, 9/15/26! From the moment the bartender welcomed us,…read morethe genuinely friendly vibe made our time at the bar so enjoyable. And they fry their French fries in beef tallow--wow, the flavor is unbeatable! I could have finished a bucket of those perfectly crisp potatoes. The foot-long hot dog was delicious; as a hot dog fan, I'd say it's top-notch. My wife had a patty melt and loved it as much as any she's ever tried. This little gem in the heart of Chetek will definitely be a regular stop whenever we're nearby. The food is outstanding, and the beer is ice-cold!

We were in town running errands twice within a week and came in for lunch both days as we thought…read morethe good and service was great. We sat at the bar in both occasions so the bartenders were our severs. Both ladies were attendant friendly. Our first lunch, I ordered the BLTA sandwich with Seashore Fries. The sandwich was delicious. Bacon thick and crispy. Having the avocado really brightened the sandwich. I didn't care for the seashore fries. They weren't thin or thick. Couldn't taste the potato. They were just there in my opinion. These could change. My husband ordered the special, a Lobster roll. He said it was absolutely delicious. Super flavorful. Tasted fresh. A lot of lobster in the sandwich. For the side, he ordered the sweet potato tots. Although a large portion, these were soggy and not crispy. The second visit my husband ordered the special again. A salmon sandwich. He loved this as well. Full of flavor. Cooked medium rare. Delicious. For the side he upgraded to the cheese curds. These were hot, crispy and delicious. I ordered the Rueben. So delicious. I've never had a Rueben with such thick cut corned beef before. So flavorful. I loved the horseradish which I believe was in the dressing. For the side, I upgraded to the onion rings. I would not order these again. Mostly breading and couldn't taste the onions. We thought the food was delicious. I'm docking a star for the fries, tots and onion rings. These could be better. But mainly for charging me .75 for 2 small packets of mayo and charging an extra 3.5% for using a cc. The charge for the mayo is just petty and the cc fee is the cost of doing business. I'll never understand this.

When we first walked up, it was clearly a dive and we were wondering if we would feel unwelcome because we are not locals. Absolutely not the case! Steve got us drinks and Kevin, the owner, chatted us up and made us feel like regulars. His mom was there watching a soap opera with some friends and she shared some delicious homemade cake with us. Kevin dropped $5 in the juke box for us to listen to some songs and made us The Best Pizza! Cheeseburger with extra pickles. There is a reason it has won awards! We are the whole thing! The bar area has a fantastic lakefront view but the outside is awesome too. There is a stage area for a band and plenty of outdoor seating if you want to keep your distance from others but still enjoy getting out and about. When COVID-19 goes away, this would be a perfect place to get back to normal!

All their soups are made in house and the potato salad is house made weekly (It's amazing). The service can be slow at times but keep in mind that during the week the bartender is also the cook.

We were immediately greeted and sat down. Our waitress brought our the menus and water. She recommended so many different options for us but since we were in Wisconsin we started with Cheesecurds, shared a half slab of ribs and my husband had the burger. The cheese-curds were oooey and gooey and delicious! They came out piping hot! The ribs were recommended as they were just finished being smoked! Their bbq sauce is incredible. It also came with honey mustard, and a choice of soup or salad. We were told everything this made from scratch and that things were made fresh daily! So incredible! The restaurant is a bit tucked away, but the prices are super fair for the portions! Next time we're in town we will definitely be back!

Everyone found something on the menu that was of interest: rib eye steak with potatoes lyonnaise, grilled pork chops with fries, chicken kiev with fries, grilled walleye with steamed broccoli and one of the specials pork saurkraut & dumplings. The waitress was friendly answering our questions. The offerings at the salad bar was modest but everything was fresh. The entrees arrived just as we finished the salads. I had the pork chops which were thick cut and grilled just right to be juicy. It was delicious with or without the applesauce. Based on what the others said... The steak was substantial and cooked perfectly to medium rare. It was a tiny bit tough but was delicious. The chicken was hot and buttery while the fries were plentiful, toasty and well seasoned. The walleye was fantastic. She asked for grated parmesan to season the broccoli and it was brought out very quickly despite a busy dining room. The pork was moist, tender and flavorful. With drinks (some iced tea, some alcohol), the meal was a bit over $20 per person with leftovers for the next meal. Great meal and we all agreed we would dine here again.
