Whitman's is a longtime local bar and grill in Hazelhurst. I've been driving by since we purchased…read moreour local property in town 35 years ago. For a variety of reasons, last night was the first time we stopped in for a burger and beer. I'm sure it won't be the last. Orders for food and drinks are placed at the bar. You can eat at the bar or one of several tables just off to the side. Food and drinks are cash only and the kitchen doesn't have the capacity to serve groups larger than six to eight. They have a small but decent selection of tap beer and of course a full bar. The burger I ordered was as good as any I've had at a local bar and grill -- thick, juicy, topped with cheese, onions, mushrooms, and a tasty (though generic) BBQ sauce. An ample amount of fries (skin on) completed the basket. They offer a number of set combinations or you can "build your own" with any of the ingredients they stock in the kitchen. I might not be a regular--I only occasionally indulge in burgers like these--but I'll come back for another, hopefully sooner than 35 years from now.

Service was wonderful and the views were absolutely breathtaking. Server also helped us navigate menu for gluten free options. We will definitely be back.

Lots of parking which might be really needed during the tourist season. Tonight's meal was so so. Was attracted to this place because it had a salad bar. Sadly a number of the offerings were gone, or almost gone. It needed attention! The special tonight was a Rib eye with a baked potato. The Rib Eye was cooked well and had decent seasoning, but the cut of meat was not very good. The cut quality was closer to what I'd expect at steak buffet than at a sit down restaurant. (Could very well have been just bad luck) but when you pay restaurant price for a nice steak you don't expect to get a bad one. It is still the "off" season, but this restaurant just seemed to be understaffed. I ate at the bar and the one bartender was working his but off. But waiting until he was done making drinks to get get butter for my potato (came without any) and salt and pepper got a but trying. Also getting an empty bottle of A1 Sauce was not impressive. Hopefully they have more staff when the real crowds get to town.

We were enjoying our drinks and the bartender came out and told us he only had 1 burger left. This was before 1 pm on a Sunday. I looked at the menu and switched to the grilled chicken sandwich with fries. Both meals were great, but...the bite I had of my husband's patty melt was amazing. I need to come back and get a burger. The owner told us 2 Milwaukee DJs were up this weekend and they ended up getting tons of business, hence, they ran out of burgers. I understand how they won best burger a few years ago. May need to also try their Friday fish fry. Check them out!

It's not quite in "the best I've ever had" category, but I come from Chicago so I'm a pizza snob. I also like the pizza sticks. These are similar to pizza, but they are cut into thin like strips or sticks. Maybe due to the fact that it's finger food they don't have sauce on them and you're supposed to dip them in marinara. It's similar to pizza yet a little different. I also highly recommend the chicken Caesar salad and the nachos are good as well. The red and green salsa are good; however, I recommend the green. A nice beach, volleyball court, and boat docking facilities are available.
