We found this place by chance and so walked in without reservations. They initially turned us away…read morebut with further discussion and a few cocktails at the bar eventually made room to accommodate us. As with many cases this season they were very short staffed and trying to offer good service to those that had made reservations. Our server had several tables including one of 16 people. I can't believe how good the service ended up being with Karen our waitress. As a seasoned vet in this Industry she was on top of everything. Additionally the food was Breyer than I had hoped for. We all started with the salad bar which was clean and organized. They did end up running out of ranch dressing which was a disappointment but that was the only thing that fell short the entire evening. After the salads the four of us has the French onion soup which was better than most I've had. This was followed by our main course. Two of us has the 10 oz. Fillets, on had the 16oz ribeye and lastly one liver and onions. All the steaks were fabulous and the liver was also good from what I hear. There was no rushing, Karen our server timed out servings perfectly and the evening turned out spectacular. A big kudos to the Manager for getting us in. This will be a part of our rotation moving forward. Don't forget to make reservations!

I recently moved back to Rhinelander and had to check it out again. The place looks the same which I love. Our waitress was nice and attentive. We waited for over an hour for our food and there were only about 10 customers. I had the salmon with risotto. The end of it was fishy tasting and the risotto was mushy. The other two at my table ordered their alfredo. They liked theirs, but when I looked at it, I wouldn't have liked the spiral noodle they used. I felt they were overpriced too.

The place is dog-friendly (we ate in the bar, not the dining section). My son was super impressed with his burger. He claimed it was delicious, though it's certainly messy! The beer selection is impressive, and our server checked all the boxes with her friendly approach. The packer game was on, and I have to admit, the sound in the bar is not the greatest for hearing the game at a high quality. Likely the high ceilings are to blame, so no fault of the establishment. But it wouldn't be a place I'd go to watch a game.

I had the 4 piece meal, came with mashed potatoes and stuffing. I opted to not have gravy and was surprised no butter was given in its place.

4.5 stars but Yelp doesn't trust reviewers with half-stars…read more Happened to be in the area and checked out the pizza place recommended by family. Turns out the owners (who were working) were nice folks running a good establishment. While the place has clearly been around, there have been some nice improvements made recently. The place is very clean, has a game room for kids and is also spacious. We tried out two appetizers, some drinks and three different pizzas during our visit. Aside from the appetizers needing another minute of crisping, there were many high points. The pizzas have a very nice crust. Not thin, nor thick but a really tasty "cracker-like" texture. The owners said they are hand-tossed every day. The buffalo chip had just the right kick. The garbage pizza was truly loaded. The Big Mac pizza lived up to its billing and had diced pickles, not long strips as mentioned in an earlier review. The drinks were moderately priced and were well poured. The autumn special was a bourbon based drink garnished with pieces of dried apple. Overall, a great first experience. I'd certainly go back if I found myself in the area.

It was uncomfortable. Our waitress who I believe is also the owner was pleasant. We ordered the bacon cheeseburger pizza that comes oddly with cut lengthwise dill pickles. None of us really enjoyed the pizza, but it was better the next day as sometimes is the case. It really did not have a lot of flavor or taste like a bacon cheeseburger. I gave this review an extra star as Merrill is a small city and I hope they improve as the workers seem like nice people.

Always was fine. Average bar. We liked it because it was on the water. This last time we stopped... we sat on the outside patio. We had our dog with and asked if he could sit on the patio. The female bartender said "of course". There was another couple and a family sitting outside who also had a dog. Our dog was laying next to me quietly and is extremely well behaved. Barely lifts his head. One of the workers, a 30-40 yr old man with dark hair, asked the other bartender "do you think I can make this bottle cap hit that dog"? I was sitting slightly turned from him and ignored him. I did not think he would actually do it. Well, he did. He began flicking bottle caps at my dog who was laying peacefully! After the third one I turned around and said "excuse me? What are you doing?" He said "I wasn't trying to hit him don't worry I'd never do that" and quick ran inside like scared sheep. Didn't show his face after that. I could not believe what had happened. I think this bar is fine and everyone who works there is nice BESIDES THAT GUY. What the he11 is wrong with him? How rude can you be ? Who does that ? What a weirdo.

We went with an app of portabella mushrooms, a cup of clam chowder soup, and our entrees were the chicken Caesar wrap and the shrimp fry. The mushrooms were a mystery to us and we felt they should have been listed as mushroom chips, because instead of being slices they were super thin (more like shaved) so you didn't get any mushroom flavor, it was just batter flavor. The clam chowder soup was insanely bland, no amount of salt, pepper or crackers could save it. The wrap was the best thing we ordered; very delicious. The shrimp fry was just so-so, as the shrimp were small and the batter was thick so there again the batter overwhelmed what it was covering and I ended up peeling most of the batter off just to taste the shrimp. Will we go back again? Probably not.
