It's…read morebeen 2 years since our last trip out to Shell Lake from Colorado and what a pleasant surprise it was to visit this place in town. * The food is great - I the had eggs Benedict and coffee....so good! My daughter had pancakes and hashbrowns and chocolate milk. She said "YEAH, it was GOOD!" * The vibe is solid - the cozy "Stranger Things" diner vibe is exactly what I'm hoping for in a breakfast joint. It's clean, the music is on point , and the lunchboxes on the walls seal the deal. * The price- Good diner food at a very reasonable price. I met the owner, Rick Carlson, and he's sharp. He knows what this town needs in a reliable, local spot, adding the charm Shell Lake deserves.

We were celebrating a friend's birthday and he decided to celebrate at a Supper Club…read more Lehman's is definitely an old school Supper club. The main dining room could use a refresh. It reminded me of a conference room. Our server was Amanda who was very friendly and attentive. She offered some nice suggestions off the menu as well. Two in our group ordered the whisky old fashioned which they both liked and I ordered a dirty martini. The martini was made properly but served in a glass versus a martini glass. Kind of strange and it really does make a difference in the taste when served in a proper martini glass. We were provided with a fruit tray and crackers to start. For appetizers, we ordered the green pepper rings and the cheese curds. I liked the green pepper rings. Like an onion ring but with green peppers. Cheese curds were your average cheese curds. For dinner I ordered the Cajun Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo - Grilled Cajun chicken in a pesto alfredo sauce topped with tomatoes $20. It was actually a large portion snd I took home leftovers. Chicken was a little tough but the flavor was very good. Dinner came with a basic salad and choice of soup. I ordered the French onion soup. There was a strange seasoning in the soup so it was not my favorite. My husband ordered the Barbeque Baby Back Pork Ribs. The finest in ribs prepared in our own sauce 27.75. He said they were very good. Our friends ordered a fish special. They didn't say anything but neither finished their entree. My husband had a taste and said it was a little rubbery. They have an extensive desert list, all homemade deserts. For desert we ordered Peanut Butter Cheesecake Rich with a chocolate ganache and graham cracker crust. $7. This was delicious. Since it was our friend's birthday the staff came out and sang happy birthday which we thought was very nice. After dinner we headed to the lounge for an after dinner drink. Our bartender Kristy was very friendly and fun. She shared a lot of the restaurants history with us and offered to take our picture. She was excellent. I found the prices to be very reasonable for a supper club. If we go back, I would choose to sit in the lounge or at the bar. The atmosphere is so much nicer than the main dining room.

Our first time to Hilltop Retreat. We were visiting the area and a friend suggested the…read morerestaurant. They are open on Friday and Saturday night and Sunday morning. It was Saturday evening and the hostess who greeted us was very friendly. The restaurant was busy and she found us a table on the outside enclosed space. We waited a few minutes and a server greeted us and said they were very busy so she would take our drink orders before our regular server would become available. We waited a little longer and our new server Melody brought the drinks and apologized for the wait. Melody was very nice and professional. She checked on us throughout the evening. I ordered the chicken Parmesan. My husband ordered coconut shrimp with a baked potato and our friend ordered the walleye. We each ordered the cabbage soup with the dinner. The chicken parm was delivered on a huge plate of pasta with red sauce. Unfortunately neither was flavorful and there was just way too much pasta. The chicken had a small amount of white sauce on top. The red sauce was not seasoned at all. My husband said the coconut shrimp was fine. The baked potato arrived after he finished the shrimp so that was disappointing. Our friend said the walleye was okay. The cabbage soup was good but needed seasoning. While the staff is friendly and attentive, the food is just not great, at least the dishes we ordered.

Made reservations after my boss suggested they were necessary (tiny town, lack of choices)…read more Showed up and our "reserved" table was where the kitchen and bar met; very loud and hectic. LOTS of empty tables when we arrived at 4:45 p.m., but we still got sat in an undesirable area. App of cheese curds. Meals were Hilltop Melt, country style pork ribs and king prime rib. The cheapest meal was happiest with their food: Hilltop Melt with Sweet Potato fries. My mother found that the pork ribs were dry and bland (and I did try them and they were indeed bland and the only flavor came from the BBQ sauce). Don't brag that your boneless, country style pork ribs are cooked for 18 hours, when the result is dry and bland. My king prime rib was served later so the hashbrowns could cook, according to the waitress, yet the hashbrowns that my mom and I both had were okay on the outer edges, but not warm/cooked on the inside. The prime rib had decent flavor, but it was tough and required a lot of sawing through with a steak knife. The best part of the visit was our waitress Hannah; food was mediocre.

We stopped in for breakfast on a Friday morning and were greeted by our server, Leslie who told us we could site at any available table. She was very friendly. The restaurant was quite busy including the counter. It did take her about 15 minutes to take our order as she was juggling orders and bringing out plates. Unfortunately for Leslie, she was the only server and there were a few tables with larger groups of people. She was doing her best to take orders and bring out the food as ready. The cafe clearly needed additional staff. We were not in a hurry so we were fine but could tell others were getting impatient. We both ordered our drinks which took about 15 minutes to bring out, the food took much longer. I believe there was 1 cook working as well. I ordered one of the meat skillets with two poached eggs and sourdough toast. Unfortunately the poached eggs were cooked hard, not poached. Either chef overcooked or it is possible it sat too long waiting for pickup as the dish was warm, not hot. My friend ordered the veggie skillet and said she liked it. Overall, I did like the cafe even though my dish was overcooked. I will give it another try one day. Hopefully they can find additional staff.
