    a pan of cinnamon rolls

    Not enough good things can be said about Lona's for a Northwoods breakfast or lunch. Hearty, delicious fare, freshly prepared, and the BEST caramel rolls. Long may Lona reign!

    Great little diner off Hwy 53 in Haugen! We stopped to fuel up before going snowshoeing in Sarona. They have a wide selection of breakfast and lunch items. Side note, they also have a cheese case and you can order cheese plates to be made! Staff was very friendly and attentive. We ordered breakfast on this occasion and it was delicious! I had a garden omelet which was a generously sized and came with wheat toast. The omelet was thin, full of veggies and little cubes of ham. It was very good, probably one of the best omelets I've had in awhile. I was also impressed with the giant bottle of Cholula they had. Often times up north places will only have Tabasco but they had a whole selection of hot sauces to choose from. My snowshoeing date had eggs, bacon and pancakes. The bacon was mouthwatering, it was so perfectly cooked it could have been fake. Pancakes were also divine. Everything was homemade and very reasonable priced. They don't take credit cards but there is an ATM on site. All in all the whole experience was fantastic. Can't wait to return when in the area. Recommend for any passers-by!

The parking lot was packed, as was the bar and waiting area. Fortunately, we had called ahead and were immediately seated. On the way to our table, I noticed the generous salad bar. I was excited to give it a whirl. Our waitress was efficient, just not overly friendly or engaging. She dutifully took our drink orders and came back a short time later with our old fashioned drinks and a Tom Collins. The old fashioned were muddled, if that is a make-or-break for you. Everyone liked their drink. The menu was a solid supper club menu; a little something for everyone. Our party had two cod dinners, a walleye dinner and a ribs/chicken dinner. We then took a stroll to the salad bar. In addition to two soup (clam chowder, cheese) the actual salad portion offered a wide array of choices. It was very good. While dining, I also noticed it being frequently refreshed. Our meals came with good timing for the completion of our salads. Each of the fish dishes was well proportioned and was appropriately hot. Our ribs/chicken diner love their ribs. They waited an additional 25 minutes for their 1/4 chicken and said it wasn't worth the wait. Aside from the dining room being somewhat noisy, it was your standard northern Wisconsin supper club dining area. Overall, the service could have improved with a smile and a check on the need for a second round of drinks. I eventually requested a redo of water and did get a full pitcher in return. The price was reasonable, the food was good. Would I return in the future? Definitely.

The bar area that we walked through seemed like a great place to gather and enjoy a cold beverage. My wife ordered the grilled shrimp and she said it was some of the best she has had in a long time. I ordered the t-bone steak and it was cooked the way I ordered it and came with a lot of Montreal steak season on it but it did taste just fine. Our server kept the kids drinks full as well as our beers full. Before we left we got to meet the owners and both of them where very nice and shared some information about their great smoked meats they're so proud of. We will be back to try this out as we don' t live too far away.

The food is a step up from the typical "bar" food you find in the north woods. The pulled pork is wonderful (sandwich and nachos). Cheese curds come with two dipping sauces, ranch and chipotle-ranch choices. The broasted chicken is my favorite in the area, but not served on Fridays. Fridays they have a fish fry. They have a dining area that is separate from the bar area, both serve drinks and food. The restaurant is clean and there is a good atmosphere. We will be back.

    It is a bit of a bittersweet story about my first Pine Ridge experience. My grandma grew up in this…read morearea, and this was her favorite place to get fried fish. She always talked about it and would eat here any time she was back in the area. I hoped to visit with her someday. She was supposed to go in July 2025 with some family, but was sick and not able to make the trip from her home in KC. Unfortunately she recently passed away, and our family gathered in Wisconsin for her memorial service. Pine Ridge was so gracious and accommodating and opened early for about 30 of us to visit and have grandma's favorite fried fish experience after we had her service. It was unbelievably good, and I now know why grandma loved coming to Pine Ridge all those years. Nothing better than being with family enjoying amazing food. The staff was so kind and accommodating, the restaurant was beautiful, and none of us left hungry. Until next time!

We started and finished our meal with fry bread, which was absolutely delicious. I appreciated that the fish fry was family style, and included broiled and fried fish AND fried chicken. All was absolutely delicious. The place itself is amazing. From the lake views, to the outdoor bar, it's a true up north gem. If you're in the area and don't visit, you're missing out. Tip - Arriving at 4pm guarantees you just enough time to enjoy an Old Fashioned before your table is ready. Get there 30 minutes later and you'll likely be waiting. Thanks, Pine Ridge for a wonderful experience!!
