They also have pies, amazing place to come and visit especially at this time of the year. It was just perfect. Highly recommended.

As I…read moregot older, I wasn't able to make it up here as often from KC, but a friend of mine took annual trips to the BWCA. I convinced him to stop here on his way back to KC and bring me 3-4 pieces of fish each time. They freeze great, and would be a special treat any time I'd get them out. I was recently able to get back to the North Shore, and it was exactly how I remembered it. The staff were friendly and helpful as well. Inside is small, but packed with lots of goodies. I got a large piece of salmon and some trout as well. I froze them, used pieces multiple times this fall with charcuteries or with smoked salmon dip. I brought the smoked salmon dip to a party, and it was gone almost immediately. Awesome fish, must stop. If you can't stop, twist someone's arm you know that is headed this way to bring you some back.

It wasn't very busy when we arrived but started hopping around 5:30ish on a Saturday night. We were immediately seated in the bar area and our friendly server arrived shortly thereafter. I decided to try their featured summer cocktail, Huckleberry Lemon Spritzer. It was very good and refreshing! For our dinner, we decided to split the 1/2 roasted chicken and 1/2 rack of ribs. The platter came with mashed potatoes, beans and sweet cornbread. The chicken was tender and flavorful, the ribs were flavorful but not real meaty. The beans and potatoes were average, the cornbread was on the sweet side, very fluffy and moist. We also added a side salad, which tasted fresh. Since we were in the bar area, there were TVs and happy, pop tunes playing in the background. We enjoyed it!

Guessing the main ingredient is white fish which is very bland.

I was instantly greeted and asked what I was looking for. It was right about then that my eyes adjusted from the bright outdoors light to the inside light. I realized they were clearly not open for business; the door was just unlocked and there were a few people working inside. I felt a little silly. I apologized and started heading for the exit. A man (I assume the owner) engaged me in conversation and told me that they had closed for a few months during the dead of winter but would be opening in the near future. We had a short, conversation about the meat business, how they had installed a new smoker out back, and other small talk. He then went and got the meat I was looking for out of the freezer and sold it to me despite being closed. It was not an expensive order by any means.
