    Healthy heart breakfast with sweet Nikkis
    Molly M.

    Second day of Little Nikki's breakfasts, yes-we love it that much! Today we chose smaller breakfast entrees because there is just so much wonderful food!

    Ben H.

    Big bar and dining area, great food, extensive menu with choices for all - incl. pizzas, homemade quinoa and black bean sliders, super crunchy house made potato chips, great fried cheese curds, homemade spicy sauce and BBQ sauce. Multiple TVs have you covered for Packers and Brewers games. Friendly staff and good service. A gem!

    Fried fish with potatoes

    We were drawn here after reading other Yelp reviews. We were not disappointed with our food however the service was a little "off". My husband and I both had the fish dinner (fried whitefish) and it was delicious. Their salad bar was a little lacking but that wasn't the star of our meal. Overall it was good but I'm not sure the drive from Ashland would have merited a visit. Enjoy!

    Curds and beer!

    Previously Fish Lipps. Attentive waitstaff, great beer selection, gluten free options. Fish fry was awesome--whitefish or trout that was swimming in Lake Superior hours before, hand cut potato wedges, homemade slaw. The batter fried cheese curds was pleasantly light and let the cheese shine through. Great cozy, local "up north" feel without making out of towners feel out of place.

    New owner, seemed more family friendly than in the past. Food was really good and all the employees were really nice.

    Little Nikki's is now Ponchos. We had the BBQ special and white fish. I've had a lot of white fish and this was the best! Family friendly.

    Is it a 5-Star restaurant? No, but it's a great bar with good food in northern Wisconsin!

    The Cranberry Over Superior  - Maple Sriracha Chicken Sandwich with Fries

    The Cranberry Over Superior

    Someone had mentioned this place as having a dog friendly patio, so we stopped here for lunch after…read morea hike at Lost Creek Falls. The outdoor patio has a (distant) view of Lake Superior. While the patio is dog-friendly, you have to go inside to the bar to order your drinks and food and dogs aren't allowed in there. So, if you're traveling solo with your dog, be aware of this. I just left the car locked and running while I went in to order, put my placard down on a table outside, then went and grabbed the pup from the car. The Caesar Salad with chicken was lovely and had nice, crisp greens - not just the light colored watery lettuce, this had the medium and dark green goodness too. Still a little bland tasting, but it is a nice size and I ate the whole thing. The chicken on top of it was warm and freshly cooked, and absolutely delicious. I shared a piece of chicken and some lettuce with my pup and he likewise approved. It was a warm sunny day, so I ordered a Kentucky Mule to go along with my salad. Staff was a little busy with tables inside (lots of children at one table) so they forgot about my drink sitting on the bar. It came out just after my salad, so I just decided to make it my dessert instead of my appetizer :) Friendly staff and good food. If you're out this way, why not stop in and enjoy for yourself?

    We visited here after being close by (10 or so minutes) after hiking the trails above the sea…read morecaves. We were seated quickly for a late lunch. Staff were professional and you could tell were old hands and knew what was what. I ordered the hot mess (their version of poutine but without cheese curds and with shredded roast beef) which was amazing, SO good. I had a special - sliders on pretzel buns, and while the beans and coleslaw were delicious, the sliders were just okay. Others in the group loved the pot pie, and my kiddo devoured the burger. The quality of the food and the service place the Cranberry Over Superior above other seemingly similar options in the area. Highly recommend.

The service and food is consistently great. Its location is cool - in the middle of the woods. It's comfortable and pretty inside. You're not squished together. The dining room is large and they have a party room they can open up. There's also a large bar on the other end of the building and a patio area. They usually have several specials on the chalk board. I usually get the 1/2 rack of ribs. They are FANTASTIC. Super tender and the sauce is great. I've also had their chicken wings - great! On our most recent trip (the last week and a half) - I had the ribeye special with the loaded baked potato and coleslaw. It was cooked perfectly and super tasty. I left a few toppings off my loaded potato - l had butter, bacon and grilled onions. It was fluffy and delish. They have a nice menu. You can ride your ATV or snow mobile right up to the building or your John Deere tractor (like a customer had when we were visiting ). Tons of Forest service roads/trails all around the area. The bathrooms are clean and accessible. Great food, great owner, great staff - hard working people wanting their customers to have a great experience.

    Stayed at an airbnb about a half a mile from here and this spot was recommended by our hosts. It's…read morea good spot for dinner and maybe a drink or two. We entered the dining side (there's a bar side and dining room side) which is set up like a basic food hall (so, not a lot of ambiance). We were seated right away and drink ordered taken. We began the evening with whiskey old fashioned cocktails, which were made in the Wisconsin tradition and were good. They have different featured entrees every night they're open in addition to nightly specials. I opted for one of their nightly specials, which was coconut shrimp. The shrimp was ample with several large shrimp lightly coconut breaded and fried. They were delightful. For my side, I got the loaded baked potato (minus bacon) which was cheesy deliciousness. The service was prompt and friendly, though she did get a little bogged down when it came time to pay so we had to go find her (we were on a bit of a schedule with somewhere to be), If you're looking for ample portions at reasonable prices--this is your spot!
