    16oz. Ribeye, mashed potatoes, and crispy brussel sprouts.
    Amanda K.

    We had a party of 4. It took about an hour to get our main coarse. Not terrible considering how busy they were. What was not great was the noise level! It was hard to have a conversation with the person sitting across from you. For the food, I had the ribeye and it was just ok. It was not as tender as I would have liked and needed a bit more seasonings. The star was the brussel sprouts, they were fantastic! My boyfriend had prime rib, he said it was good but could have used a bit more flavor also. The appetizers were both very good, I would get them again. Our waitress was fantastic! She was incredibly polite and on top of everything our entire meal. Overall, I would try this restaurant again if we are ever in the area.

    Now THAT is a shrimp cocktail

    Very impressed with this modern dinner spot in Minocqua. It's a nice change from the usual supper club (don't get me wrong I love those too) with lots of windows and a pretty patio. We started with a shrimp cocktail which was one of the best I've ever had - huge, clean, fresh shrimp. You could make a light meal out of this. The mister had prime rib which was perfectly medium rare and super tender. My fettuccine was also well executed and enough that we both had lunch from it. A nice bonus is a solid wine list and interesting craft cocktails. Prices are on the high side for the area, but it was a great meal all around.

    We always come here and normally this place is on point. This time around it was not. The place did not answer their phone which was ridiculous. We had made a reservation a month in advance and I was calling just to verify our reservation and no answer after 10 attempts. Then when we show up for said reservation we were sat immediately Which was great. Their maple brandy old fashion was delicious. Their ribs are usually fall off the bone. This time they were over cooked and hard. The maple glaze salmon was great but for four people dinner was over $200. If I'm paying that kind of money for Dinner it better be great. The ambiance / vibe in here is always great though.

    Pretzel appetizer was delicious and enjoyed by our family of four!

    Great ambience, great service, and great food! Our family enjoyed our dinner and experience here!

    fettuccine Alfredo

    to start off me and my party of five booked a reservation for 7 and didn't get seated until 7:40 even after that, we didn't get served for a while at the table. Besides the terrible service the food was pretty good. Alfredo was definitely heavy, but might get again.

    The Northfork is always our first stop in Minocqua/Arbor Vitae!! We love to sit at the bar. You will always meet super friendly customers and employees. We had the Caprese Stuffed Avocado appetizer, very unique. Enjoyed the pesto and balsamic flavor. And then got the ribeye with brussels sprouts and blue cheese. It did not disappoint! I recommend trying out the bacon cherry tomato jam as well!

    Plenty of parking, clean and cool interior, great outside seating. Cute supper club bar that you can order and eat at if you didn't make a reservation which you need to do here. We ate at the bar, plenty of great drink options. I tried 2-3 old fashioneds I have never heard of and loved every one. The bartenders work very hard and are all super friendly. For the food, my halibut and fries were very good. I'm super picky on salt and it was a tad over salted. I love me some salt but just a touch too much. My friends had the shrimp & mashed Potatoes with the most amazing sauce. ( I think it was an Alfredo) we all kept sneaking into their mashed potatoes and using the bread to lap up that sauce The reason for 4 stars is the wait time for food but that is to be expected with as many people who were eating the night we were there. If we come again I'll try the Moroccan pasta. Overall great place, a bit pricy so be ready to pay 25-45 a plate plus drinks is and whatever else you want.

    I have visited here twice during resent visits to Minocqua. The first time we could not have dinner inside because we didn't have reservations though we tried to make them. They don't have an online reservation system and you have to call and leave a message. We were told by one of the workers there that many people don't get calls back. I'm assuming that's because there's such a high demand for the reservations. It was suggested we try outside. It was set up beautifully with a large bar, seating area with a roof and outdoor entertainment. It was complete with a small area for children to play outside. I have been told that there is definitely server and cook shortages as there are elsewhere but especially challenging in Minocqua. McKenna and Kaitlyn were working the bar and also serving. They were terrific and trying to do the bus they could with a lot of guests. They definitely needed more help. But they were pleasant, efficient and worked really hard. There is only a limited menu outside. We tried a variety of appetizers but I believe the only entrée available was the pulled pork sandwich and macaroni and cheese. Unfortunately those items were cold. The pulled pork would've been OK if it was warm. The macaroni and cheese tasted like noodles with canned cheese mixed in with them. The next time we came to visit we did have reservations! When I made the reservations I mentioned it was for a friends birthday. When we arrived I also mentioned to the host that it was a friends birthday. There was a delay in seating as the restaurant was very crowded. We waited at the bar and had a round of drinks. When we sat down our server told us we should order as soon as possible because they were really behind in the kitchen. It took us nearly 2 hours to have our dinner. We all ordered steaks and they were amazing and cooked perfectly. Unfortunately they forgot about the birthday celebration and I had to ask again to have that done. What was the most challenging part was that I ordered a drink while sitting down at the table. I prefer my old fashions without any soda in them. If you order old fashions in Wisconsin you know they like to add sprite or sweet-and-sour to the drink. My preference is to not have either. I forgot to mention this to the waitress. When I mentioned I didn't want that in my drink she said I would have to pay for it because it was my fault. I'm not sure I've had that happen before. And I realize it was my mistake. I was told that if someone doesn't like their drink they still have to pay for it and order some thing else. Having worked in the restaurant industry for several years I've never heard of that before. I did go up to the bar and talked to the bartender about it and he said when I saw your order I was surprised because I remembered you don't order your drinks like that. Nonetheless our bill was confusing but it was taken care of. I would definitely recommend the outdoor space. On the night that we were there, Jimmy D was playing the guitar and he did a great job. Maybe next season they will be able to have more help both inside and outside of the restaurant. It's definitely an addition to the regular supper clubs in Minocqua. And definitely worth a try.

    Shepherds Pie

    Arrived before 5 on a weekday. The bar was starting to get full and they had ample bartenders (4). Service was very attentive and the bartenders were working all the guests which made service quick. As more folks showed up the bar was pack and people started coming in for regular seating. We order shrimp cocktail which was delicious. Coquilles St. Jacques We eventually ordered the tenderloin pot pie and the coquilles st. jacques. We finished both as they were excellent! The sourdough bowl on the shepherds pie was epic and being it our second time we were impressed. Make sure you get there early as the place fills up really quick.

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 warmly welcomed by the hostess and we were immediately seated. We were out kim an addition which had ample windows facing out to the lighted trees. Our waitress was very attentive and we were started with a relish tray. It was skimpy compared to what you use to get at supper clubs but appreciated as a comp. We received our meals with a comp loaf of bread. I'm GF so passed on the bread. My husband said it was average and appreciated. He had the prim rib and I had a tenderloin steak with mushrooms and garlic mashed potatoes which the first couple of bites in the end was chewy but as I moved to the next bites it was very tender. I enjoyed the Hungarian mushroom soup and my husband enjoyed his clam chowder. We were too full for dessert and I took 1/2 of my meal home to enjoy for lunch the next day. We didn't try any cocktails. We would go back to try more menu items, maybe something light so a dessert could be enjoyed.

The BEST cheese curds in the Northwoods. They aren't the typical breaded/deep fried version that you find everywhere; they are a lightly flash fried creamy cheese delight with an amazing dipping sauce that will turn you off of ranch dressing forever. I know it sounds crazy but the Bacon, Blackberry, Cheesecake Burger was simply amazing!!! The flavors meld together into the most delicious bite of burger with the salty bacon nicely offsetting the sweetness of the fresh blackberries, blackberry jam and cheesecake. The fries were wedges with the perfect seasoning. Where else can you find a fried Blacktip Shark Loin appetizer? The ribs, brisket and smoked wings satisfied this Texas gals craving for BBQ too. We were too full for dessert but were sooooo tempted by the homemade chocolate cherry cheesecake and know it would have been splendid. The service was excellent; friendly, personable, helpful suggestions and on top of things. Chef Paul and his wife Elana both stopped by our table to chat and remembered us from a previous visit when we were in town a couple of months ago. The decor is absolutely iconic Northwoods rustic lodge. A fireplace, casual atmosphere, wonderful taxidermy everywhere, a bar where you feel comfortable lingering over a before and/or after dinner drink. A very comfortable and welcoming experience overall. We definitely include Backdraft BBQ on our list of favorites.
