The menu looks delicious food wise - we didn't try anything this trip but came for the espresso martinis and they did not disappoint. They use 5 rocks distillery liquors and they are so good.

We stopped by The Pickle Loon while staying at a family cabin down the road. Even on a Monday, the…read moreplace was packed!! It started raining before we arrived, so I think everyone headed inside at once, but we were able to grab seats at the bar and still received great service. I ordered the AYCE walleye. The portions were a little smaller than I expected, but the fish was good and I especially enjoyed the hush puppies. My husband ordered the Loon Burger and said it was one of the best burgers he's had in a while. The only downside was the wait for the second round of walleye, which took close to 30 minutes. By then we were ready to leave, so we ended up taking it to go. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely come back to try some of the other menu items!!

I was super excited to try this place since the cabin is only 10 min away. I was really wanting a…read moreburger for lunch and their menu looked amazing. We arrived, and sat ourselves. Cute place, very large bar. I got a gin bloody which seemed watered down, not the best. The rim salt was crunchy large pieces of whatever spices, it was odd. We were handed breakfast menus. Since it was 11:25am, I asked when lunch started since that's what we came for. They told us noon. We decided to stay anyway since we were hungry and already settled with drinks. Ordered off the very limited breakfast menu. Food arrived, I got the smothered hash browns which were very greasy but good. My boyfriend got the biscuits and gravy. NO THANK YOU. The biscuits were overcooked and chewy, the gravy was lumpy and slimy with minimal meat in it. 30 seconds later a table who ordered the same time we did had their food delivered. It was 11:42am. CHEESEBURGERS AND FIRES! Must be nice to have that inside connection. Not impressed, the waitress wasn't super friendly either. We won't be back.

While those drinking wine at our table had glass wine glasses. I asked the waitress why it was not served in a martini glass, was told because bartender doesnt serve mixed drinks in anything but plastic if the outdoor patio is open. We were dining indoors. Several tables were served & thru eating that had come well after we had ordered our meals. The waitress asked who was celebrating a birthday. But that was it...I dont know why they even want to know if you are celebrating a special occasion if they do nothing to acknowledge it. But glassware has always been important to me with a cocktail....​ A martini somehow loses something in a plastic cup. I would have expected better from a somewhat nice restaurant!! Our meals however, were very good. Just overall didnt feel like much of a celebratory dinner. Do better Manhattans!

The proprietors…read moreare serving up authentic modern Vietnamese and Thai dishes, alongside standard up north favorites like burgers and fish and chips. Two of us had the Pad Thai, one had steak and potatoes, and the other Szechuan tofu. The Pad Thai stands up to any version I've had anywhere, a strong and solid offering with the tanginess of tamarind balanced with fresh chopped cilantro. The traditional beef and potatoes dish can be hit and miss, but this one balanced potatoes with crispy edges and pillowy starchiness with quality strips of steak, all stir fried together in just enough brown sauce to bring it together. The tofu and snap peas in a spicy Szechuan sauce were flavorful and hearty enough after appetizers. We didn't get pictures of the egg rolls, which are as good as you'll find in these parts and the spring rolls, which were slightly less authentic than we'd hoped. We finished off with lemon bar ice cream, Vietnamese flan, and a toffee Bundt cake. Red Pine Cookhouse is a visually impressive log building with plenty of natural light flowing in through the many windows and a curved staircase leading up to a game room for the kids. We enjoyed the evening on the patio. We were thrilled to have been introduced to this gem of a restaurant, and look forward to our next trip back!

But they have like 20+ different taps, so a variety of options to try! Love the self-service and always a friendly staff!

We ordered a couple pizzas which took a good bit of time to come out and little taste in the crust (plus they were thin and heavily cooked so it was more of a cracker). The drink options are not listen anywhere so they just have your standard options. Venue was very loud and even though we were inside, our table was bothered by several flies. Plus the "plates" we got were tiny styrofoam and only worked okay because the pizza slices were so small. On the bright side however, the prices were not that high at least averaging around $10-12 per person and soda at $3

They've got a small harbor to dock your boat and walk right up to the restaurant if you come by sea. Otherwise, it's easy to access from the local highways around. The atmosphere during the summer months is always buzzing and happy. Plenty of people coming to relax from a long drive north or from a warm day on the lake. It's a great spot for local musicians that play to entertain the seasonal visitors and the regulars from town alike. Tonight was a typical busy summer night. The outdoor seating is first come, first served, so we waited around to grab a table in the sunshine. Our waitress was great and, as busy as she was, was really attentive to us. We never spent too much time without something to drink. She also took our order quickly and the food came out in a really reasonable time for it being packed. The food was delicious! We had a variety of dishes at our table, from a stir fry to pizza to a gluten free "wrap" platter. I had a Bilski Burger covered with cheese, bacon, and "Gold sauce". A side of tots to complement it. The burger was cooked wonderfully and tasted fantastic. Everyone had great food and we all pretty much finished it all up. I'll continue to come back to Moonlite Bay. It's a great place and I've not been disappointed yet (over 7 years coming up here). If you're in the area, stop in and enjoy the atmosphere and food!
