In Price County, there could not be a more amazing restaurant than this. Seriously. Not only is the…read morefood just simply amazing every single time, but the owners care so much about their customers. People say that on Yelp all the time, but Dawn and Jimmy at The Rail Trail Cafe are two amazing people who have done so much for the small town of Ogema as they welcome their patrons as if they are guests in their home. I adore them both, and when I visit the restaurant with my family, I feel like it's a cozy family meal more than it is "eating at a restaurant." It's an exceedingly difficult task to capture this vibe, but the fantastic owners do this with signature style. To say they are an asset to the town does not do their dedication justice...they are both much more than that. They are amazing community members, and I am so happy every time I see the place busy, which is often because the food is baller. If you are local, you will always see a friend there, and if you are not local, I dare you to leave without having met a new friend. Crazy great service, plus amazing eats, are all you need to know! The Rail Trail Cafe in Ogema does not knock it out of the park, they are the park! LOVE this place! Even if you are just passing through, do not be remiss and cheat yourself out of this unique charm.

I stayed a few years ago, and ate there in 2016 or 2017, prior to its closing two years ago. Neither experience was noteworthy. This year on my annual vacation to the area, I was glad to see that Camp 28 had been sold and reopened, so I figured I'd give it another chance. I'm very happy I did. The pot roast was outstanding, the walleye excellent (try the breaded version), and the on-tap beers were great. From talking with one of the new owners, I found out that they have also been overhauling the rooms, and I much prefer the new decor, interesting photos and items from the logging history of the area. I'll certainly be going back, and I give this high recommendations.

Over the years, I can finally say that I've now experienced all three of the amenities at this…read morefacility. The bunkhouse was probably the least stellar of the features. A tiny TV with about 5 or 6 tv stations, signs everywhere telling you what not to do, and just a general feel of basic, no-frills dullness. No internet is also is a big negative, though expected in the area. The saloon gets a bit lively on occasion, but with so many options catering to such a small population, competition with the main street bars can draw away from the atmosphere. I did have a rather positive experience at the restaurant. The food was tasty, and was served promptly. Plenty of photos on the wall, combined with a great view of the lake give you something to do while waiting for your food. The wait staff expressed a seemingly genuine interest in my contentment, along with the reserved curiosity that accompanies all small towns. All in all, a pleasant meal. The total rating balance for this place would hover around the average range.

Best meal out I've ever had in Eau Claire. They have it all- kid friendly atmosphere but in a super…read morecute instagramable old brick building with a bar. Foods kids will eat but with more refined options for adults- like the brussels and cauliflower which were crazy good. Tender florets with crispy exterior and well seasoned. The burgers were super tasty and honestly ate more like a sandwich (in the best way) because of the seasoning and other components. Adults had the mushroom- swiss and the OB. The kids cheeseburger was large and came with a generous serving of fries. 5yo also loved the cheese curds. They were a slightly distinctive style with cornmeal in the breading so very crunchy even after cooling off. Waitress was friendly and accommodating and food came promptly. We will 100% be back on our next trip to Eau Claire in the Spring. I would eat the cauliflower weekly if we lived close by. I also loved that they had dye free sodas and rootbeer.

It's a vintage-looking building with a fenced outdoor area filled with tables and metal chairs. Umbrellas provide shade if needed. Inside, there's a bar with seating and several tables of different sizes. The space has a vintage vibe with bare brick walls, a metal ceiling, wood floors, and even a six-foot-high metal vault door. We were greeted right away by our cheerful server, who explained the menu and took our drink order. I went with the mocktail, St. Peri Spritz (there's also a version with alcohol). While waiting for the rest of our group to arrive, we played some of the games available. There were several other groups there, some with kids, and the noise level was just right for conversation. When everyone arrived, we placed our full order: cheese curds for an appetizer, then a variety of burgers with sides including fries, Brussels sprouts, and cauliflower. The cheese curds came out first -- a generous portion and served hot. The breading had (what I think) chili flakes mixed in, giving it a little spice without being overpowering. Very good. The accompanying Spicy Valley Sauce was a nice addition and, again, not too hot. The burgers followed shortly after, and they were all excellent. I had the Wisco Whiz with cheddar, whiz, bacon, dijonnaise, caramelized onion, pickles, and a pretzel bun. It was almost perfect. The only disappointment was the bacon, which was tough and detracted from an otherwise amazing burger, so I set it aside. All the sides we ordered were also very good -- my Brussels sprouts were outstanding. Overall, a fantastic first visit. Excellent burgers, friendly service (thanks, Aubrey), and a casual atmosphere. Would love to come back again (hold the bacon).

It's a locals type establishment, but they will never make an "outsider" feel removed for too long.

If you want the best bar and grill atmosphere in Ogema, you have no other choice because they are at the tippity top.

Not only was it…read moreincredibly small- especially for an almost $14 burger (in a small town in WI no less) but it tasted reheated- dry, with no flavor and was slapped upside it's sorry dry face with a slice of processed American cheese. It was served with supposed hand cut fries that tasted like they were frozen fries you make in the oven. Everything came lukewarm, the processed cheese refusing to even give me the small pathetic victory by agreeing to melt on top of the dry meat pile. Even the cheese wanted out of this pathetic mess and back into the safety of its crinkly Kraft wrapper. I eyed the A&W right across the parking lot with a tear in my eye and thought once again of my bad life choices. I will never be eating here again and honestly wish I had read the reviews to save myself this experience and my $$. It's not too late for you.

We went with an app of portabella mushrooms, a cup of clam chowder soup, and our entrees were the chicken Caesar wrap and the shrimp fry. The mushrooms were a mystery to us and we felt they should have been listed as mushroom chips, because instead of being slices they were super thin (more like shaved) so you didn't get any mushroom flavor, it was just batter flavor. The clam chowder soup was insanely bland, no amount of salt, pepper or crackers could save it. The wrap was the best thing we ordered; very delicious. The shrimp fry was just so-so, as the shrimp were small and the batter was thick so there again the batter overwhelmed what it was covering and I ended up peeling most of the batter off just to taste the shrimp. Will we go back again? Probably not.

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.
