We all had tastes of a slice of banana cream pie while waiting for our dinner. It was enjoyed by all. The waffles with berries was awesome with the waffle split into four pieces with blueberries on one, raspberries on another followed by strawberries and blueberries with all topped off with whipped cream. A hot chocolate with whipped creamed was enjoyed. The spicy chicken sandwich was a bit messy but tasty as were the ERA burger and the child's cheese burger. Some of had fries and some had the fresh fruit which is a choice that comes with burgers and sandwiches. Food was good and prices not bad. It was under $95 for the 5 of us. The waitress was friendly and helpful. The restaurant was Quiet, about half full at 5:30-6:30 pm.

I got the Wisco-Rita as it had northern waters whiskey, most of their other cocktails have rail alcohol. Unfortunately the appetizer came out with our meal which we ordered our main food later. This was disappointing as we would not have ordered it. We got the spinach and artichoke dip which was not anything special, would not recommend. I got the buffalo chicken wrap for dinner and was asked grilled or crispy chicken. I ordered crispy and was misled, it was really just breaded chicken and was not crispy. The side or ranch was missing and had to flag server down to get that. Only thing special about this place is location and view.

The fries were good - crispy and exactly what you'd want alongside a burger. The real reason to come here is the atmosphere. We sat on the rooftop on a gorgeous evening, and the vibes were unbeatable. Great setting for drinks, chatting, and enjoying the weather. I'd come back for the rooftop experience more than the food itself.

To start with, the place is very cool on the inside. It has an amazing antique bar, and just as the…read morename says, boat memorabilia everywhere. The staff was terrific, too. Our server, Leah, was very pleasant and met our every need. I'm extremely picky about tartar sauce and she brought me out plenty to try and then when I loved it, more to enjoy with their excellent fries. I thought it was the best I've ever had in a restaurant. We all enjoyed our meal and my daughter loved her Fettuccine Alfredo especially. My walleye sandwich was incredible, too, especially since that tartar sauce was so phenomenal. One thing that really caught my eye was how hard the hostess was working. I don't think I've ever seen someone of her generation with such an amazing work ethic. It was kind of fun to watch her do her thing. If I had a company of my own locally, I would definitely be working to hire her. I didn't get her name, a d she looked awfully young to own the place. She acted as if she did, however. Amazing!

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.

I had to knock it down a star because there were literally ZERO Covid precautions. We're from the city and used to wearing masks everywhere and we walked in with masks on and everyone looked at us like we were crazy. Not even the bartenders or servers were wearing masks even though there's a state mandate. Other than the safety aspect, it was genuinely a great time. Everyone was very friendly and there was live music and karaoke. It was definitely a small town dive bar feel and was an absolute blast. We were mostly there for drinks, but we did get the spinach and artichoke dip as a snack and it was delicious! There was also a really nice patio out back that had games.

If I would have seen this before eating I would have walked out. The men's restroom is across the hallway fron the kitchen. Cases of canned goods were at the end of the hall just a few feet away. The men's room was atrocious. A large open garbage can was there for used paper towels. It was only a quarter full yet half of the floor was covered with the used paper towels. Thw worst part of it is that in a corner of the room was a big puddle of urine. It smelled so bad in there. The mens room was obviously frequented by the half dozen drunk patrons at the bar. They didn't bother us or other patrons in yhe dining area but their banging beer bottles on the bar, extremely loud conversation and occasional chanting should have proved that their service should have been cut off. But the blonde bimbo bartender obviously saw nothine but more tips with more beers. I give this joints a Minus 5. Never again for the Outback on 51 in Woodruff WI.

We sat where we had a great view of Big Arbor Vitae Lake across the street. We had the Soup of the Day which was Stuffed Green Pepper soup. That was very good. A lot of ground beef in it. A bowl of it would be a meal. I'd have every one at the table order it and get the Huge Pretzel appetizer to go with it. We ordered and shared The Patty Melt and upgraded to the fries instead of the rippled chips. Great rye bread and grilled just right. My wife would have liked dill rather than bread and butter pickle chips. Next time we'll ask if that's an option. It wasn't a deal breaker. We also had the Walleye Finger Basket. Wow! Nice big chunks of walleye with a very good coating. I upgraded to the regular onion rings. These were perfectly cooked and had a great crunch to complement the ring of onion on the inside. We were able to take advantage of their offer on the T-bird Football electronic card. Even without it, we will be back to try other things like the Ruben Rolls!
