We took our grandkids and the kids meals are perfect .. we shared a burger (because the meals are always so big... but we do tip off what our order should have been with two meals) We tried the blueberry habanero burger .. the waitress said it was a favorite and we were a little scared but it was delicious!

We had the duck wontons and the chicken wings. My husband didn't care for the wontons. We also had the strawberry salad and was a bit disappointed in the lack of freshness and flavor.

Ordering was easy and fast, the restaurant was clean and cute like they normally are, but I agree with commenters who say the bathroom could use a good deep clean! The brisket was good, a tiny bit fatty, but nothing crazy, the pulled work was melt in your mouth perfect, the polish sausage was garlicky and good, and the cheddar jalapeño sausage on the sandwich was great! I live potato salad and this was as good as any deli, the fries were crispy, the mac was mid, and the pickle seasoned okra was 9.5/10 (light on seasoning, but sooooo delicious!!!). I'd stop again, I'm guessing based on other reviews that this place is good in person, and not great at pickup orders.

Sis and I took a last-minute Thursday late afternoon roadtrip up Hwy 8 due to a FB Marketplace…read morepickup. It was dinnertime and I asked the Seller a restaurant they recommend in the area. She told us The Northern and to make sure to order the cheese curds. Looking at the menu before hitting the road again, sis and I knew the place was for us: burgers, sandwiches and wraps. Pulling into the parking lot was easy. Even though looked full, we were still able to find a spot. I want to note the gorgeous view of the red barn/farm across from the pond when pulling in. I noticed a patio on the North side of the building, which would put this farm in your view. We did have about a 20 minute wait for a table for 2. The restaurant looked busy from what I could see. Once we were brought to out table, I then noticed that the bar seating was pretty much open. Had I known, we might have elected to just sit at the bar. However, I asked for menus right away so that we could at least ponder it during that 20 minutes. We were sat at a high top right near the kitchen door. Being able to see all the food come out, I changed my mind on what I was going to order almost 10 times. We asked for the cheese curds as soon as we were greeted by our waitress. OMGosh! They were in the shape of cubes, deep fried to golden perfection. The outside had perfect firmness from the fryer. The inside was gooey, salty white cheese. Perfect just by itself. It did come with a ranch dipping sauce that was just so yummy. It reminded me a seasoned sour cream. The waitress didn't know the brand of the cheese curds (ie. Ellsworth) but did say the ranch was homemade Sis ordered the Great Northern Burger with French fries. She's a fan of BBQ sauce, bacon and onion rings on a burger. Fries were nicely seasoned, long, soft and semi-skin-on (not crinkle or steak fries). Burger was huge and worth the $15.99 price tag. I settled on the BOTM, the Nacho Burger, with tator tots. Toppings included nacho cheese, Fritos chips, bacon, diced/sliced jalapenos. The tator tots were one of the best I've ever had. Again, seasoned nicely. And the perfect ratio of hard outside crunch to soft inside potato. The Nacho burger was huge too....and messy with the nacho cheese. The Fritos did get a little soggy at the end. The bacon was under the melted cheese. And there were plenty of jalapenos hidden under the meat patty. Those were easy to discard so I could control how many fiery peppers were in my mouth at one time. Was service slower than normal? Yes. Was the service friendly? Yes. Was it worth the wait? Also YES! I would definitely recommend (I already have to my coworkers.) for anyone who loves gourmet burgers. They also have a nice variety to the sandwich, wraps, tacos and flatbread menu. I will just have to take the 40 minute drive again to try something else.

It says they are open till 9:00pm, but obviously the cook and the owners don't care what the customer wants. They should change their hours then if they are not going to serve the full menu till 9:00pm. So, we ordered the Chicken Parmesan to take home, because it was obvious the workers there were more intent at leaving as soon as they could than properly servicing customers. Upon arriving home to eat our meal, the chicken was so tough that we had to get a steak knife to cut it, and was like chewing on a rubber ball. Bad service, bad meal, never going back there again and I definitely will not recommend this place to anyone.
