The new owners seem to be cutting some corners, so be aware as you read the menu and order food. It is a shame with such a nice place, that they do not take/replace used silverware.

You guys have to come on over to this place! As soon as we…read morewalked in we felt like part of their crew. Not only did the staff greet us, but some of the customers did as well. This place has a wonderful community vibe and you will leave having made new friends (there is also a "quiet side" of the restaurant you can sit at if you'd prefer to be left alone instead). Andy was our server and he was absolutely amazing. Can't say enough good things about the guy. He was just and all around good guy and is one of the reasons the restaurant feels like going over to your friend's house for a hot dish. He was friendly, attentive, fantastic at his job, and took the time to make us feel right at home. The food was awesome. Hubby got a burger and tots and I got the wings and a salad. All fantastic.

Oh , Clancy. You started off strong but petered out early…read more We were looking forward to our meal in the lakehouse restaurant, charmed by the rustic decor and multitude of taxidermied critters on the walls. We ordered curds and beer (as one should) which were delivered promptly by a friendly server. The curds were hot and delicious, and we had a Drekker red ale, a War Pig hazy IPA and a Bemeji pale ale -- all excellent! 5 stars if we had left at that moment. We ordered our entrees, and waited....and waited.... Friendly server began avoiding eye contact. Uh oh. One hour and 15 minutes later, after several pointed prompts, our food was delivered. Broasted chicken platter was delivered with wrong components (dark meat and mashed potatoes instead of white meat and Cole slaw). Two plates had regular fries instead of "fresh cut fries". Two burgers were extra well done. Walleye sliders and onion rings were good. No explanation was provided for the delay, though our server was highly apologetic. We inferred there was an issue in the kitchen -- maybe overwhelmed by the number of diners? Or someone didn't show up for work? The manager in duty did make amends via a % credit on the check. We are visitors to the area and our local hosts who dined with us said they had previously had a good experience at Clancy's. Based in our combined experiences, I recommend Clancy's for a beer and appetizer, but odds aren't great for dinner.

Omelet was not fully cooked so liquid carton eggs ran out…read more Salty Pancakes were very good Hash Browns were very good Surprise! Cash only. This is annoying since many of us are no longer carrying cash. Often small businesses charge 2-3% to use a card. This place had to use their ATM with a $3.45 fee. That's a 10% up charge on our $30 breakfast. I may also incur a charge from my bank. Not cool GNC.

Stopped in at New York Mills newest "brew pub" Continental Divide on a Saturday afternoon…read more Traditionally speaking a brew pub is an establishment that brews their own beer and serves food made in house. This place doesn't actually brew their own beer which was a bit of a bummer. It is actually what I would call a taphouse. Nevertheless they have an insanely good tap beer list. There are many styles of beer to choose from sure to please any palate. They also offer craft cocktails on tap. The decor is beautiful. A very open, inviting, and comfortable space. There are a handful of tables in the front as you walk in and a bar in the back with an exposed kitchen beyond that. We ordered wings, nachos, and pizza. Wings were cooked nicely and the sauce was flavorful but not quite as described. Nachos had a beautiful presentation but were cold. Pizza was OUTSTANDING. This place is super new and has a good base going. I fully expect them ironing out some of the issues with the food. Staff were all very fun and friendly. Didn't have to wait to order food or drinks. I would absolutely visit this spot again as well as recommend

This is a great small town find!

However, after seeing the law enforcement going in at lunch, figured it had been vetted. They had food, too! The menu included flatbreads, salads, unique sandwich combinations, and breakfast. I had difficulty deciding because of their varied menu of choices. Certainly wanted one of those tasteful looking scones, too, but will save that for another day. I ordered a sausage galette, a blend of sausage, bacon, egg and pepperjack cheese. It was like a gourmet croissant sandwich with soft flaky bread and perfect flavor mix and some excellent pop! There was a bit of coldness in the egg, but managed through that. Topped it off with a Scandinavian coffee, that was a delectable combination of coffee, cardamom and cream. It was a perfect post-morning drink without being sweet. This place will be on my list on future stops along Highway 71! Excellent service and great presentation!
