Whitman's is a longtime local bar and grill in Hazelhurst. I've been driving by since we purchased…read moreour local property in town 35 years ago. For a variety of reasons, last night was the first time we stopped in for a burger and beer. I'm sure it won't be the last. Orders for food and drinks are placed at the bar. You can eat at the bar or one of several tables just off to the side. Food and drinks are cash only and the kitchen doesn't have the capacity to serve groups larger than six to eight. They have a small but decent selection of tap beer and of course a full bar. The burger I ordered was as good as any I've had at a local bar and grill -- thick, juicy, topped with cheese, onions, mushrooms, and a tasty (though generic) BBQ sauce. An ample amount of fries (skin on) completed the basket. They offer a number of set combinations or you can "build your own" with any of the ingredients they stock in the kitchen. I might not be a regular--I only occasionally indulge in burgers like these--but I'll come back for another, hopefully sooner than 35 years from now.

While the taste was 100% on point, half the food came out cold, I including the two $4 up-charged haystack onions. So disappointing. We asked for no pickle on one thing, no onion on another. Both came out with the ingredients we didn't want. We were charged for sauces (honey mustard and ranch) for the kids tenders when no one mentioned it being extra (shouldn't tenders COME with sauce?) NEVER asked if we wanted refills on drinks or checked on us. It was a Tuesday night and it took an hour and 5 minutes to get us our food. Yes we were a group of 9 but it was 3 kids and not that busy. Only seemed to be 2 waitstaff for the whole place. Just no attention paid to actual orders, and next to no regard for checking on guests. Again, the food was amazing, so I'm just hoping it was an off night. We'll visit again to verify.

Bear Paw has a lot to offer, including: kayaking, lodging, gear and incredible food. It's in a stunning location, very near the Wolf River. We had a " pub style, plank pizza". It was loaded with fresh vegetables and meat with a medium thickness crust. A crunchy, yet tender crust, at that. I can't wait to go back. Eric, one of the owners and operations manager, was cook, bartender, server and entertainer. He does it all with a smile and makes you feel right at home. I highly recommend you try this place. It's on a stretch of Hwy 55 that winds and dips and while it is fun to drive, is a puke factor "8" out of 10 when I'm driving with my cat. Yeah, I drive with my cat.

What a hidden gem in the Northwoods! Can't believe there's an upscale Asian restaurant in this…read moresmall town. Not only the food was delicious but the service and atmosphere were excellent!! I'm Chinese and know what good food tastes like. This hit high marks for me! The tuna salad is massive in portions and could easily feed two adults (the tuna nachos are the same portion size). Pro-tip- ask for dressing on the side so you can take leftovers home without eating soggy salads in the next day. Hubby ordered garlic chicken with rice plus crab cheese wontons. The stir fry was properly cooked in the wok and smelled and tasted incredible. And not drowned in brown sauce!! Kids meals are great too - mine loved the chicken drummies! HIGHLY recommend this restaurant if you want some great Asian food in a nice setting! The prices and portions will make you and your wallet happy!

Look, don't judge me too hard--I was stationed in California for eight long years, and that state…read morecelebrates all kinds of certified organic, gluten-free, sustainably sourced nonsense. But credit where it's due: CA does attract creative newcomers who can sling some seriously excellent cuisine. That said... the Gaslight Tavern up here in Wisconsin is quietly dropping better food than what you'll find on Fisherman's Wharf these days. Yes, I said it. While California is busy charging $48 for a "deconstructed" fish taco with edible flowers and a side of attitude, our fine-fusion spot in the Northwoods is serving up elevated dishes that actually taste like they came from somewhere real -- and you won't need a second mortgage or a safe word to enjoy them. Sometimes the best "California cuisine" is found 2,000 miles away in Wisconsin. Fight me.

Whether a large table or a table of four, we could count on good food and good service. I'm sorry to say that my last several visits here were not only disappointing but the last visit on July 7, 2024, has me never going back. On more than one occasion in recent past, we have had food cooked incorrectly. I kept coming back because I know there are few restaurants up north and I want to try to support the businesses. This was the last straw. One of the items we ordered was a hamburger, medium-rare. It came out very well-done, almost burned. We asked for another one. The waitress came out and told us that the kitchen refused to redo the dish. The waitress said she would just place another order take it out of her own money. She was crying. She also asked for us not to complain as she would get in trouble. Mind you, a similar thing happened to us over a year before, with a different waitress. Mistakes are made in any business. Dishes are over or undercooked but it is how the business deals with it, which makes the difference. I'm done with this place. I understand that after last winter, businesses are struggling but the customers are struggling too in this economy and are spending a lot of money to enjoy an evening out. If we are paying for a dinner, we should be able to get it cooked correctly.

The staff as attentive to our table and quick. The drink menu was big. The daiquiri and pina colada were from a smoothie machine and not super frozen so on a hot day it doesn't last long. I got the chicken bacon ranch wrap with sweet potatoes fries. The sweet potato fries were good but feel like missing a dipping sauce with them. The wrap was a good portion, I prefer a little more sauce. The fish fry plate was big, 3 pieces of fish. The batter was crispy. The corn bread was yummy.

Sat outside close to the dock, was a beautiful sunny day and not too hot. Wifey had a salad with grilled chicken. Looked very good and ended up as part of the clean plate club. Friends had pulled pork sliders which looked very good. Three small rolls with pork, cole slaw and a dressing. Fourth adult had fish tacos with side of fries. Fish portion was modest. One child had beef tacos, must not have been very good because only a half was eaten. Child number two had a corn dog and fries. Can't complain about the food, but the prices were a little high for what we received. Recommend as a great place to stop while on the lake but would not journey there for other meals.

We got the Delight Pizza with olives on side, extra sauce, thin crust. We had the pizza I'd say in maybe 12 minutes. It was DELICIOUS! We are from Iowa camping at Indian Shores for 9 days. Lisa the bartender waited on us. She was running her butt off, pregnant as well, doing a great job. I was going to buy a T-shirt but since they don't say "Wisconsin" on them I did not. You should add that! We sat by Jenifer at the bar who's from Alaska but lives here now & goes to this place several times a month. She also loves your pizza. I forgot to take a picture of the pizza!

My…read more92 year old father loves Monical's and doesn't get there often, perhaps if he'd been a little faster in the parking lot with his walker he would have made it by 8. Totally fine if that's their policy but the (clearly unhappy and hates life) grey haired woman was so rude and shouting after us as we left. We were disappointed, for sure, but didn't need the added side comments about her having children and wanting to get home. Or "if it made us feel any better they took the last order at 7:45" I was holding the door open for my dad when she made the comment about children, one hand high on the doorframe, and shrugged while sort of tossing both hands in the air...at which point she started claiming to other customers I flipped her off. I would never imagine doing that to someone!!!! Extremely odd behavior when all I said in the exchange was that it was 8:04. Also worth noting that the dining room was 60-70% full, the bar had 6 people in it and food was still coming out. We didn't walk into a sleepy night with an empty restaurant asking for a table, the parking lot was full and business seemed to be steady. I've worked for really nice restaurants in Minocqua for years and would have been fired immediately if I ever spoke to customers like that. Crazy what some businesses consider acceptable behavior by their staff. Or perhaps she was an owner? Not sure. Won't return.
