    Strongman Smokehouse - pulled pork, pineapple slaw, hot honey sprouts

    Midwest bbq, if you can call it bbq. We were told this was…read morethe best bbq in Wisconsin from a friend I personally was very underwhelmed... I got the pulled pork platter with coleslaw and Brussel sprouts. Pulled pork was bland and didn't have much flavor, lots of liquid on the plate. Coleslaw was coleslaw, take it or leave it. Brussel sprouts were the best thing I ate, they have hot honey and I'm a sucker for hot honey. The drink I had was a chocolate porter from Round Man brewery, it didn't have much flavor, I've had better.

    Good ambiance, nice patio, clean restrooms, but my party was very disappointed with their meals…read more Our group of 4 stopped during a work roadtrip, hungry during a long drive. The location is convenient, directly off of the freeway in rural Northern Wisconsin. The menu offers sandwiches, a salad, and platters that don't disclose just how little meat is included (assuming they were 1/4lb servings). I opted for the pulled pork, which unfortunately lacked any flavor besides apple cider vinegar. I had to not only drench it in BBQ, but for the first time ever I had to salt the meat. My coworkers left hungry when their platters included only 2 slices of brisket. Points for creativity on their sides. I love the variety of options, but none met my expectations in the slightest. Overall, the whole meal lacked flavor, seasoning, and they should work on their portions/prices. Spending over $20 on a platter here is a waste.

    OMC Smokehouse - Beef brisket - a tad dry/dense, and killer sides - baked beans and mashed sweet potatoes with a sweet crunch.  Very yummy!

    This was by far the best place I went to in Duluth…read more Everywhere I had gone that night was super busy, including OMC. The difference is when I saw at the bar, I had a very prompt interaction with one of the bartenders. I was provided fresh pork rinds to try the bbq sauces with. The horseradish was my favorite. They gave me a breakdown of the entire place and stayed very attentive. I try to not bother anyone except whoever my waiter/waitress is, but here it didn't matter. Everyone behind the bar was very kind and helpful. They gave me phenomenal recommendations on the food and drinks. Even the patrons all seemed genuinely happy with everything they ate and gave me recommendations on the food and the area! I ended up trying the creme brulee, gourmet Mac and cheese and an old fashioned. All of it was exceptional. The Mac and cheese was genuinely my favorite food from the weekend. The other thing is the

    First of all....amazing food! We are from the Cities and were in town for a long weekend and…read morewanted to try some local places. We were swayed to try this place due to other Yelp reviews and are so thankful we did! We started with an appetizer of fries. These were SO good! Perfect combination of crisp and soft and served with tasty sauces to dip in. The main courses were wonderful. I had the chicken burrito bowl which was a flavor explosion of fabulousness! Huge portions with plenty to take home. My husband had the burger and raved about the flavor combination. He would have liked the ability to choose how he wanted it prepared as he prefers more of a medium rather than done burger. My daughter and cousin both got sandwiches and enjoyed them completely. The side items at our table also got raving reviews including the cream corn, the grits, and the fritters. Nothing was sub par! My granddaughter did not like her Mac and cheese as it was made from scratch and not a box and the flavors were a little more adult than she is. :). The only negatives we had were minor. Kids receive a menu with a coloring page but no crayons. Hard to occupy them with just a picture. The second is the inability to have your burger done to your taste. The last was the server was not very attentive. We had to ask for drink refills and she promptly forgot to fill them. Didn't check in enough to see if we were ok. However, the person who brought out the food was super good and helped increase the service rating. Overall, because of the quality of the food we would recommend and return ourselves. They have a wonderful patio for outdoor dining and we would love to try that in the future. Even though we were there during the lunch rush, it was not too loud to hold conversation and it felt very homey! Perfect summer evening venue!

    I enthusiastically change my rating from three stars to five!…read more I visited Tamarack Farms with my family during our recent trip to Hayward and wow is this spot much improved from when I visited six years ago. Some things that stood out: * The farm pizza! This was delicious. We tried a couple including pepperoni and mac and cheese pizza. The crust was excellent as was the toppings. I was also impressed by how well the mac and cheese stayed on top of the pizza. The kids loved it too! * The brisket! My husband's aunt and uncle recommended this, and they weren't wrong. It was so tender. Just perfection! * The cornbread! If you ever had Famous Dave's cornbread, this is very similar, and for good reason. "Famous Dave" Dave Anderson owns Tamarack Farms. * The wine slushies! On a warm day, these hit the spot. It also feels like this restaurant has refined its approach. This includes the decor, the menu and how the restaurant is run. Where before we had to wait a while for our food, this time around everything seemed to run like a well oiled machine. Tamarack Farms also includes a fun selection of wine, so you could take some bottles home with you. The building is open and airy, with large garage doors. It's just a fun place all around. I hope it becomes a tradition that we come here whenever we're in the Northwoods.

I enjoyed the frozen margaritas. Very tasty and a good way to cool down. We got pizza and a salad. It was good thin crust pizza. The salad was super big and filling. They had a small menu but there were tons of families and adults hanging out. It was def a vibe!
