They bring out rye bread and coleslaw to your table after ordering your meal. It was a BUSY Friday night so our server Dana did her best to accommodate us and refill drinks and be attentive but again, it was very busy. When she started describing the homemade desserts my ears perked up when she said double chocolate cobbler with a big scoop of ice cream on top.... When it was brought out it was simply a hard brownie with a scoop of ice cream next to it. Disappointing. BUT, the banana fosters cheesecake? That was the best cheesecake I've had in a long long time. Would go back just to have another slice. Ambiance is the definition of north woods Wisconsin supper club. They do take reservations, just **not** in the summer on a Friday night- it's first come first serve. Overall, it was a nice experience. Quality food!

Turned out sour lady was also the server. Very unwelcoming The food was so bad I sent it back. The "smothered" pulled pork (the menu's description) had a squirt of sauce and was not hot - not warm even. As my husband was eating I just cancelled. The robotic manager said he wouldn't charge me !! ... seriously I didn't even bite into the sandwich. I joked he could reuse the bun. He offered a dessert. I'm not going to eat a dessert for dinner. I declined. Such a beautiful remodel of an old bar. A shame the food and service just don't hold up.

Signs on the tables say to order at the bar, but during my visit the bartender came over and took our order. Service was prompt & efficient. My guest and I each ordered a burger. I got the make your own burger with American cheese and fried onions. My guest had the snowshoe burger. Both were served with fries. The burgers were juicy and full of flavor. The cheese was a generous slice. I loved the fried onions. The fries were crispy. Perfect, good sized portions. Looking forward to coming back and trying other items on their menu....or maybe just for another one of those burgers!

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...

The chicken soup tasted good but was cool, the chicken wrap was mostly iceberg lettuce with a little bit of chicken, and the grilled cheese had limited cheese that was not fully melted or toasted well.

After waiting an hour and 20 minutes for fish fry and a pizza, (food still has yet to arrive), the bartender advised that on a Friday, it's pretty normal to wait nearly two hours for a pizza. It's not nearly 10pm, it's empty and food is god knows where. I get it that this place is quintessential up north and has been here forever, but after waiting 30 minutes for a beer that was warm and wrong and now two hours for food, I'd recommend bringing snacks to quell the hunger while you enjoy the ambience. I hope it's good. If I'm still awake when it arrives. Two stars for the location.

Whether a large table or a table of four, we could count on good food and good service. I'm sorry to say that my last several visits here were not only disappointing but the last visit on July 7, 2024, has me never going back. On more than one occasion in recent past, we have had food cooked incorrectly. I kept coming back because I know there are few restaurants up north and I want to try to support the businesses. This was the last straw. One of the items we ordered was a hamburger, medium-rare. It came out very well-done, almost burned. We asked for another one. The waitress came out and told us that the kitchen refused to redo the dish. The waitress said she would just place another order take it out of her own money. She was crying. She also asked for us not to complain as she would get in trouble. Mind you, a similar thing happened to us over a year before, with a different waitress. Mistakes are made in any business. Dishes are over or undercooked but it is how the business deals with it, which makes the difference. I'm done with this place. I understand that after last winter, businesses are struggling but the customers are struggling too in this economy and are spending a lot of money to enjoy an evening out. If we are paying for a dinner, we should be able to get it cooked correctly.
