    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.

    Craftsman has amazing northwoods ambience and is conveniently located in downtown Eagle River, but…read morethe diverse menu of upscale tavern fare, high food quality and great service would garner high praise in any setting. 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.

    I've been frequenting Timbers every Friday for their fish fry for the last 8+ years or so. To me,…read morethey have the best fish fry in the north woods by far, and it proves that you don't have to go to a fancy supper club to get good eats. The ambiance is a typical north woods bar, you can either eat at the bar or sit at one of the tables in their 'dining room' which houses the slot machines, dart board, and a few other games for kids. They have a wide selection of brews on tap, and have a full bar. The thing that I really love about this place is that everyone who works here is extremely nice. You can tell they love what they do, they're proud of where they live, and they have great senses of humor. Just overall great conversationalists. Now to the food, my favorite part: For appetizers, you HAVE to try their jalapeño poppers. They're the best poppers I've ever had. I believe they are coated in potato breading and they have an awesome zing to them. Never had a popper like it and I'll always compare others to the ones at Timbers. For lunch/dinner, their hamburgers are incredible as well. Super juicy smash burgers on a fluffy bun with the best French fries in the world. A perfect pick me up during snowmobile season or on a nice summer day. On Friday, this is THE spot for fish fry. My family and I have tried so many fish fry places over the year trying to find our favorite, and each time we stray we always leave disappointed wishing we would've just got Timbers instead. To me, what makes their fish fry so great is their portions are extremely generous, you get 4 pieces of fish, a handful of fries, two slices of buttered rye bread, coleslaw, tartar sauce, and a lemon wedge. The way their fish is prepared and battered is my favorite. It doesn't have that super thick, almost pancake batter like breading that tastes like a corn dog. Instead it's very lightly breaded so that it's fish forward with a nice crunch. This is just my preference, but to me, it's the best fish fry I've ever had. I genuinely love this place so much, but I must say that it's obviously super crowded and loud during the tourist seasons. If that bothers you, you can always call in a takeout order so don't like that deter you from checking this place out!

    Really good pizza and tacos. That's all I have had so far but my wife and I will definitely be…read moreeating there again! Great upnorth bar atmosphere, very good service!

    Had lunch here today. Sat at the bar. Bar is cute - very much an up north WI vibe. I ordered the…read moremushroom & Swiss burger with fries, and my husband ordered the patty melt with fries. 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!

Burger had smoked bacon, Jalapeños, pepperjack cheese , grilled onions , On this soft sweet bun . I think it was potato bun. Service was fantastic , Owner is a ex Marine, got to talking to him . He gave up his pay to put on a event on Sunday to left feed his neighbors in town who were losing Thier SNAP benefits. Like he said no matter what side of the coin your on . People deserve to eat . Had to give him a extra $20 to help with a few plates of food for this event. Any ways the food was great best Burger any were. We sat outside with our dogs on the USS Pickles pontoon boat with them . Weather was low 50's so In Upper Wisconsin end of October it was great. Going up north in Wisconsin Pickles is a must . Owner and His Chief are best I have had . Thanks for making our vacation memorable.
