It has great hours so if you want a late night sweet you can get it. It closes at 10pm. It has plenty of different flavors. My favorite flavor is pirates bounty. It is caramel ice cream with chocolate, m and m's, and brownies pieces. It is mouth watering delicious. There is other flavors including After dinner mint, chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, raspberry truffle, sea salt, superman, blue moon, caramel nut, toasted almond fudge, mint bon bon, banana cream, cotton candy, sorbet, and other ones. You can order them in cones, cups, milk shakes, malts, and Sundaes. The place has a cute candy shop with a very wide variety of sweets. It has salitte wafers, gummy bears, chocolates, and a lot of other kinds of candy. They also sell these soft animal stuffed animals, perfect if you have little kids. Cathy's sells cool t-shirts. They have a couple seats inside, but outside they have a bunch of tables, benches, and picnic tables. It has great views just from your seat. The service is outstanding. It is usually a bunch of teenagers working. They are super kind and very friendly. They are personable and they get to know you. It makes me welcomed. Also it suitable for anyone to come here. If you are in a wheelchair they have a ramp to enter. If you can't eat gluten there is gluten free options for you to choose from. Overall I had a great experience at Cathy's. In my opinion it is the best ice cream shop in the northwoods.

There is indoor and outdoor seating, although the indoor seating is limited.

It can get pretty busy in the evenings and on warm days, but the line moves quickly and the staff is always welcoming and efficient.

When I was a kid, our yearly vacation was to a primitive Fishing Camp in Land O' Lakes Wisconsin…read more No hot water, no tub or shower, primitve toilet and no AC. I learned early I didn't give a damn about fishing, and even less about 2 weeks in a primitive fishing camp. Every few days we had to go re-stock supplies (mostly beer for the grownups) and it was a trip to Boulder Junction to do so. I couldn't wait for those trips to get away from the crushing boredom of the camp. Back then, (60's) Boulder Junction was speck of fly-shit on the map of Wisconsin, quaint and gemütlichkeit as it was. In the 21st century, it ain't much bigger, but it sure has grown in vibe. It's now an artsy-crunchy village of shops and places for the well-to-do who have their summer joints in the vicinity to have a cocktail and a bite to eat. The Guides Inn had the highest YELP rating and was close to our Hotel on the night we arrived, so it got the nod. It's a Wisconsin Supper club, dressed a notch up. The gruff fellow at the bar (who was gruff at some other folks, not us) eased up and took care of us admirably, crafting divine Brandy OldFashioneds which balmed the edge off the 400mile+ ride from Chicago. There were a bunch of us, and they could not fit our entire group at one table, so we were in 4-top tribes. Not perfect, but it was OK. There was an amuse-bouche relish tray-haven't seen one of those in a while. Typical of Wisco Supper clubs these days, there were surprises on the menu. In this case Walleye Cheeks. If you've ever been to a fine Spanish/Basque resto, you might have had Kokotxas (Cod Cheeks) which are among the finest Tapas you can get (and an apt delivery system for Garlic, Chilis and Olive Oil). There's a pocket of very tender and tasty meat on the side of certain fishes heads called "cheeks" (it makes sense, n'est ce pas?) and on a Walleye, which is a fine eating fish in any preparation, the "Cheeks" are indeed a delicacy. They were breaded/fried here and totally yum. The onion soup was, as well. My Entree was Beef Wellington (another dish you might not suspect from a Wisco Supper club in the middle of nowhere) and it was top-notch. Accompanied by Wild Rice-There's the Northwoods signature. Wife had a regular Filet Mig which she reported was fine. Service was good, and the decor a step up, like I indicated previously, from a garden-variety Wisco Supper Club. The CHECK, however, was closer to downtown Chicago than the map might suggest. Not the bargain bill you usually find at Supper Clubs, but I'll say the dear prices were commensurate with the bread and circuses. A pleasant evening in a pleasant place...

I was visiting Hoogie Doggies specifically for their homemade lemonade. It is absolutely delicious…read more Made fresh to order. Or I should say it was made fresh to order. I believe there are new owners, but I am not certain. It appeared that the lemonade was pre-mixed. And it wasn't made in the plastic containers when they would smash the lemons for the fresh lemon juice. It was in a regular fast food cup. It certainly didn't taste the same. I was really disappointed. It was quite busy and it appeared. Everyone was ordering ice cream. So if that is your preference, maybe this is the place to go. They also had a grill with corn on the cob available to purchase. That was something new that I've never seen before. I hope they return to the freshly made lemonade.
