Cheese curds not of good Wis standards seemed like frozen out of a box product at a handmade price. Other food items burgers chicken sandwiches BLT were very good, for prices charged fries or onion rings should have been included as an option not an add on. Very disappointed about speed of service only 4 tables being served in the dining room and three outside...took almost 50 minutes to receive our order. Everything was clean and orderly.

Slower Service today. But there was only one waitress working today. Cheese Curds and pizza were…read moregood. Good Beer Selection. Fun restaurant setting on the lake. Would love to try their thin crust pizza and other items on the menu.

I should have gotten the fries. the fish fry was good and flaky. the atmosphere was what you'd expect for a town of only a few thousand. Kitchen open until 9 or 10ish. Recommended :)

Best fish fry in Rhinelander, the consensus of the locals. (Edited to add: Not all locals agree,…read moreand I was chastised by a local who thinks there is a better fish fry at a different place. I bow to his observation and will modify my statement to read that it is the consensus of SEVERAL locals that this is the best fish fry in town!) It's not often that a restaurant that is a part of a hotel gets rave reviews, and in many of the hostelries I've stayed in over the years, the restaurant was an afterthought. Not here! The restaurant is quite popular with residents of Rhinelander along with the hotel guests. I've been at The Claridge Inn (The Days Inn these days) on Fridays, and at the recommendation of relatives, I've always had the fish fry. They also offer baked haddock, one of my fellow diners ordered the haddock. She reported the dish was excellent. My beer battered cod was also excellent, a crispy shell with cod of a perfect consistency. The meal is offered with french fries, I opted to spend an extra dollar to substitute potato pancakes. The potato pancakes were also exceptional. Rhinelander has a number of really good restaurants, the Claridge is most certainly one of them.

We had really great service despite the fact that they were so busy. Jordy was hustling! The fish…read morefry prices were affordable, and they have a huge menu. We like coming here when we have a big group because there's something for everyone. We arrived pretty late on a Friday so some of the fish fry menu was sold out. The cod seasoning wasn't my favorite, but everything came out hot and accurate. I want to try their pizza next time.

The service was very good and it was fun to watch the waitress come to the table with three big mugs of root beer in one hand I won't say it actually made me feel like I was in Germany, but it was a lot of fun.

We were enjoying our drinks and the bartender came out and told us he only had 1 burger left. This was before 1 pm on a Sunday. I looked at the menu and switched to the grilled chicken sandwich with fries. Both meals were great, but...the bite I had of my husband's patty melt was amazing. I need to come back and get a burger. The owner told us 2 Milwaukee DJs were up this weekend and they ended up getting tons of business, hence, they ran out of burgers. I understand how they won best burger a few years ago. May need to also try their Friday fish fry. Check them out!

He gave up his pay to put on a event on Sunday to left feed his neighbors in town who were losing Thier SNAP benefits. Like he said no matter what side of the coin your on . People deserve to eat . Had to give him a extra $20 to help with a few plates of food for this event. Any ways the food was great best Burger any were. We sat outside with our dogs on the USS Pickles pontoon boat with them . Weather was low 50's so In Upper Wisconsin end of October it was great. Going up north in Wisconsin Pickles is a must . Owner and His Chief are best I have had . Thanks for making our vacation memorable.
