Let me clarify this is a 4.5 star rating. Our friends at Yelp still won't give us half stars…read more After visiting Northwoods Inn, I tell people, "I had a great meal at a gas station recently.". No kidding, don't let the gas station vibes throw you, this place has great eats. We walked in through the gas station part of the building and were surprised to see the rustic decor of a medium sized dining area and an adjacent bar. It was a pretty full dining room and we sat ourselves. It didn't look promising as we saw one waitress and one bartender. However, after a brief wait, the waitress came to our table and assured us she would return as quickly as possible to get our drink and food orders. She returned as promised. Our drinks arrived a short time later. They were well made and attention was paid to get us another round as we finished the first. Our table had ribs, prime rib and a French dip sandwich. The portion size was great and the food arrived hot. The ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender and the sauce was tasty. The prime rib had great flavor, was prepared as ordered and had very little fat. The French dip was also tasty. Truth be told, a salad bar would make this a true five star rating. The salads served with the meal were nice but very run-of-the-mill. Will we go back in the future? You betcha!

What a cute little bakery/coffee shop! We stumbled across Fika by chance and were so happy we did!…read more I was looking for a caffeine fix and spotted Fika. There is no dine in, but are a few tables outside of the place in case you want to stick around. No shade though; it's a grab and go sort of spot. The service was great! I forget the lady's name who was working but she was very helpful and friendly. The group ahead of us visited with her for a bit - definitely a small town feel! The cookies were AMAZING! Great flavor, huge, and moist on the inside - the guys in my group ate them up. Order online ahead of time for baked goods in COVID times with weekend pickup. Otherwise, whatever is left they have available for purchase. That happened to be the Sea Salt Dark Chocolate Chip cookies on the day I went - I bought 6! The coffee was good and strong. I ended up ordering an iced latte with oat milk and half vanilla based off of the lady's recommendation. The flavor was good and I was a lot more awake afterwards! I got a medium but could've gotten a small as I couldn't drink all of the caffeine in one go. Overall such a cute spot I'd highly recommend visiting!

If I could change one thing -- the seasoning used on the cod was overly yellow and tasted like something you might get at the grocery store with a lot of MSG in it.

BLT was very well prepared with just the right amount/ratio of key ingredients (inc ample amounts of bacon) and mayonnaise. In short the BLT is exactly the way your perfect idea of a grandmother would make a BLT for her favorite grandchild. The Reuben is classically done and the best you'll find outside of a serious delicatessen. Both garlic and regular cheese curds were well batter fried and tasted flavorful and 'squeaky'.

A disappointing and, in my view, deceptive billing practice…read more Our bill had an unexplained "Advantage Program" charge of $2.53 added to it. Nothing about the words "Advantage Program" tells a customer that this is actually an additional 3% fee. Even more troubling, the 3% appears to have been calculated on the food, drinks AND sales tax. If a restaurant wants to charge customers an additional 3%, say so clearly and prominently. Call it a service fee, processing fee, or whatever it actually is. Don't bury it on the final bill under the friendly-sounding label "Advantage Program." The amount is small. That's not the point. Customers should know what they are being charged and why before the charge appears on their bill. And while we're talking about unexpected charges: $2.50 for a Diet Coke, plus another $2.00 charge for a Diet Coke, despite the receipt separately showing four "Soda Refill" entries at $0.00. If refills aren't actually free, that's fine--but again, just tell customers what they're paying for.

They have both indoor and outdoor seating, and accommodate both small and large groups. The well equipped bar also has some innovative cocktails (served with a signature steal spike) and large selection of beers. Our kids love it too because they have a great game area. I like their signature old fashion and Margherita, and I especially like their mint smash burger (no mint in it!) and various tacos, and they also serve a great fish fry. Make sure to grab a complimentary chocolate mint served as you exit the spotless bathrooms.
