At first glance, the place presents itself as a neighborhood dive--a worn-in local haunt where the…read moredécor is secondary to the conversation. But the illusion fades the moment a Bloody Mary arrives at the table. This is a bar that takes its craft seriously. The cocktail was thoughtfully prepared and balanced, revealing an attention to detail rarely found in establishments trading on casual charm alone. The atmosphere is equally compelling: lively without being chaotic, welcoming without feeling manufactured. It possesses the kind of authenticity that cannot be designed or replicated. In an era of increasingly curated hospitality, this remains a genuinely local gathering place--unpretentious, distinctive, and unmistakably its own.

It is a…read moresmall establishment with a bar to the left and seating area, to the right, with two smaller tables on the side of the bar. We arrived about 10:00 am, and it was packed. It was very loud with people talking, due to the small space. We sat at our table and waited awhile for a server, but didn't know if we needed to order at the bar. After a while, a waitress arrived to take our order. She was very joyful and friendly. We both ordered the walleye and eggs, which included hashbrowns and toast. My husband added cheese and onions on the hashbrowns at no extra cost. We also ordered a Bloody Mary, which came with a chaser. They arrived with a spear of mozzarella cheese, pimento olive, smoked sausage, and a dill pickle. The walleye had a nice thin crust and the eggs and hashbrowns were cooked perfectly. My better half said that he didn't taste any onions in the hashbrowns and they used American cheese, which made them runny. It was a good breakfast, and we enjoyed our time there. However, due to the loudness, we probably won't go back, as it was hard to have a conversation. Be aware that they only take cash, but they do have an ATM in the building. This establishment definitely had a great atmosphere and service, with friendly staff.

We also heard it is jammed on Friday nights for the fish fry so we arrived super early to grab a table in the bar area. The place was hopping by 4:30 and people were waiting for a seat! You order your food at the bar. On Friday the menu is pretty much fish fry and not much else - no problem since that is why we were there. We started with some old fashions - always my test of a Wisconsin bar - it was OK. I had the perch fish fry and my wife the cod. The perch was excellent. I really liked their batter it almost tasted like the Colonel's. The cod was also good and a big serving. I also liked their coleslaw which was very flavorful. The fries were very good. They did screw up my order - I asked for fries and got a baked potato but we did a quick switch and resolved that issue. I know food inflation is high these days but we were surprised at the price of these fish fries! The drinks were reasonable. It's not a big place so come early on Fridays.

We bellied up to the bar to grab a drink and post up to wait for an open table or a few barstools to free up. Luckily, we didn't have to wait too long for a spot at the bar to empty out. The interior is nothing to write home about-cozy, a little ramshackle but the food they churn out is absolutely amazing. They were advertising "ohio sized" lake perch from Lake Erie so I had to go with that. Nowadays, most places advertise perch but hide the fact they aren't true hard to get lake variety. These perch were absolutely massive and the sweetness under their most amazing breading was addicting. I love how they batter their fish-it's unique and has almost fried chicken like qualities. My daughter went with the cod which was equally delicious. The accompanying tartar sauce was clearly homemade and spiked nicely with clove. Fries and the bread/butter were ok but not really necessary with the generous amount of fish. Just a classic place to have a classic fish fry. Highly highly recommended!

My husband and I enjoy many menu items such as the boneless wings, fried shrimp, and their sandwiches. I was also pleasantly surprised at how amazing their salads are.

I had winning tickets from one of the machines inside the restaurant, but I am not from this area and was unfamiliar with their redemption process. When I handed her the tickets, she tried to throw them in the trash without asking me or explaining anything. I stopped her and told her they were winning tickets and that I wanted to redeem them. Instead of helping me, her attitude became rude and disrespectful. I asked for my tickets back because I no longer wanted her assistance. She then told me to step away from the bar, said I was not welcome in the restaurant, and threatened to call the police. I asked to speak with the manager so I could explain what had happened, but instead of allowing me to explain, I was repeatedly told to leave while the bartender continued threatening to call the police. I expected to be treated with courtesy and respect, especially since this was simply a misunderstanding that could have been been resolved with a polite explanation. Unfortunately, this was one of the worst customer service experiences I have ever had, and I will not be returning.

We arrived at 7:15 and waitstaff quickly worked to get us seated. Drinks and app came quickly. Fast forward to 8:30 and our waitstaff was running around and still hadn't secured our orders, apologizing for the wait, offering 1 free cocktail out of the round of 3. He was extremely apologetic and thankful for our understanding. While it's still a 3 star review, the location is great-- outdoor seating is large and there's an outdoor bar if you just want drinks while playing one of the sand volleyball courts. The indoor atmosphere is a cozy, cabin vibe. There are gaming machines and a pool table tucked in the corner behind the fireplace. There's a second level loft/balcony that overlooks the lake. This spot is stellar and I know a lot of places are experiencing short staffing. I hope they can improve their service and gain a 4-5 star review soon.

I went in last week for the first time since they've had new ownership not really sure what to expect. The bartender tried telling me that the portion size of the food is not as large but it's much better food than it used to be. I'm not exactly sure how you can go from a 1 pound burger to a 1/3 pound burger, and it'd be better?!?!. The burger wasn't anything special. Lacked flavor and probably was the same price as before, which you would have paid for the 1 pound burger. I understand that a 1 pound burger with a lot of bacon isn't cheap to make, but don't tell me that your food is better when it's clearly not, this is Wisconsin, if you're not serving at least a 1/2 pound burger, you're losing. I will try again another day but disappointed so far.
