First visit was delicious. Josh was friendly and efficient as our server. 50's-60's dance hall vibe and enjoyed the nostalgic feel & Northwoods hospitality. Food was excellent, we'll be back read more

We had the Parmesan Halibut w/ shrimp in a cream sauce yesterday. It was amazing...not the first time we've had it but it's always consistent and we will be back. Make sure you get the homemade clam chowder. Your first spoonful should be just a taste to savor the base. Then indulge it the fresh clams and perfectly cooked potatoes. This chowder's clams far outweigh the amount of potatoes unlike many other establishments where the opposite happens. This clam chowder is the best I've ever had and is to die for! read more

Tried this restaurant for the first time on a Friday night. We arrived 20 minutes early for our reservation so we could have a drink at the bar. Very friendly bartender. Enjoyed their raspberry sour beer on tap & my guest had a Brandy old fashioned. Both were good. The appearance of this restaurant is a solid 2. It reminds me of an old hall from the '70s. The silverware is the worst I've seen in a restaurant - with forks so thin you could likely bend them. What this place lacks in ambiance, it makes up for in service and food. 5 stars for both. We were seated promptly at our reservation time. Our server was friendly and walked us through their specials. Their seafood is flown in and what they're known for. I had the Cajun baked cod with wild rice. My guest had the fried cod with wild rice. Dinners come with choice of soup or salad. We both had the cream of asparagus soup, which was very good. Our meals were excellent. The fish was tender and flaky and the wild rice very good. I'd gladly pay $1 more per entree if they invested in some 'real' silverware. I will return - albeit with low expectations re: the ambience. The food is worth it! read more

i ordered seafood Alfredo ( usually my favorite) and it was absolutely awful very bland and had a weird taste to it the waiter didn't even offer a replacement meal or an apology Had to steal a piece of hubby's fish fry which was pretty good will not be back or recommend this place read more

ABSOLUTELY amazing food. Wow. This is top notch food and one of the best meals I have had in a long time. The whole restaurant has a great old supper club dive vibe. Service could be a touch faster but I believe they have a small kitchen. The food is worth it though. Best prime rib I have found in the north woods; actually anywhere !!!! It was melt in your mouth and oh so flavorful. Potatoes and zucchini were top notch as well. Can't wait to go back. read more

McNaughton Pub & Grill - Prime rib- AMAZING - Sports Bars Near Me - Lake Tomahawk, Wisconsin

Food was amazing, service was fantastic. Can't say enough about this place! This is our 2nd time here, will definitely be back. The specials are always out of this world! read more

Wow! Well if this isn't the hidden gem of the Northwoods... Flew in from Florida and my Dad has been telling me about this place for a couple months so I looked forward to checking out! We had their Prime Rib & their Seafood Alfredo...absolutely delicious! Their clam chowder was also phenomenal! Our waitress who said we could call her, "A" was awesome as were Mike & Conrad, the owners! Can't wait to come back and try other items off the menu! read more

The food is amazing and way above most of the local fare. We didn't make reservations since most places here don't do reservations on Friday nights and it never occurred to us, but we were seated almost immediately at 6:00. The workers are extra friendly, nice, and way overworked. The service takes a while so don't be in a hurry, but the food is well worth the wait. It is not because people are goofing off or ignoring you. It really is because the kitchen is making the food fresh or by hand. The clam chowder melts in your mouth, the Halibut McNaughton is amazing, even the tartar sauce is great! highly recommend you give it a try. Read some of the previous reviews and it looks like lots of folks are used to dining in the big city. Well, this place has food as good as or better than the big cities, but we aren't in the big cities, so don't expect to have decor, silverware, ambience, etc of the big city. Come for the food and the folks. It's worth it! read more

Excellent Food. Excellent Service. Prime Rib, Halibut and daily specials are fabulous. Most entrees are under $30. gem. Don't let the outside/inside deter you from this hidden gem. read more

Very courteous staff bartenders are spot on! Waitresses are above and beyond! Food was delicious, highly recommend.

Horrible service. Waited 1-1/2 hours. Never got served. Waitress had an attitude .

The food is fantastic! They have a great menu and a super friendly staff! The ambiance is old school reception venue style. Make reservations! You won't be disappointed. read more

Normally all good but this last round the food was still good but the cook was so drunk he couldn't keep up with a normal crowd and was in and out of the kitchen. Treated customers well, but you could sense something was wrong. I hope this isn't a sign of a turn for the worse. Wait was longer than normal too. read more

This was my first time dining here. The food and service was phenomenal. I had the Shrimp Diablo and the spice level was perfect, with plenty of peppers, onions, and tomatoes. I'd highly recommend stopping by for some drinks or food. read more

Great service and spectacular food! Loved the signature dish Halibut McNaughton. Highly recommended

We have been to McNaughton Pub in the past and I rated our last visit a 5. Tonight we called for a reservation for two at 7:00pm. We were told there was a reservation for 4 at 7:00pm and they requested that we reserve at 6:30 or 7:30pm. No problem! We made a reservation for 6:30. Upon arriving we were told that there would be at least a 2 hour wait after our order was put in because there were 2 large parties of 8 that had reservations at the same time!! Hmmm? We could not make a reservation at 7:00pm because of a reservation for 4 at the same time, but agreed to a recommended time and now have an over 2 hour wait? In addition we were told it was because each item was made to order. Honestly, I would hope so as that is the reason for going to a restaurant! While I appreciate we were told about the wait, are you kidding me? In my opinion this is not acceptable. I understand if we had walked in without a reservation but that was not the case. Not sure if/when we will be back. read more
