Both orders were supposed to come with 2 sides but neither came with the meal. Actually, my chicken sandwich never came either. They brought me pulled pork nachos instead. After the wait for food, I just took the nachos. We asked about our sides and they still only brought one. The place was dead inside and not only was my order wrong, but I didn't get half of it. Went back a second time to give them another chance. My brother and I ordered their special for the day which was supposed to be a spicy tempura shrimp. There was nothing "tempura" about the shrimp. Both our orders were so overcooked, the breading was actually hard to bite through! The overcooked shrimp was just as hard and dry. The tomato soup that I ordered was bland and tastes like canned.

Note there is no shade available so on a hot day it may be advisable to sit elsewhere. Also there were plenty of board games available on both floors for patrons to borrow. All in all- Oredock is a solid brewery.

I've been coming to this place for 3 years now and it's all you can ask for in a pub with TVs, a jukebox and an outdoor patio. It's a great spot to catch a Warriors game or just grab drinks with friends. Never been a huge Bloody Mary fan, but after watching the bartender make a few here I had to try one and... wow. They're legit. The Spicy Mule also gets the job done. Tons of beer on tap, which just adds to the appeal. Head to the back deck and you can kill a whole day before you even realize it. read more

Most disgusting restaurant in or around Iron River. Wait staff are clearly drug users. Went in for a Friday night fish fry as advertised on a banner in their window. They had no fish. When we decided to go elsewhere, the waitress dropped her pad and ran into the kitchen to pull the food out of the fryer so they could serve it to someone else. The ambiance is reminiscent of your mom's basement back in the 70s. Avoid this dump. read more

I've been there twice, and as soon as I walked in the door the second time, the bartender immediately remembered me, and my drink order. Very friendly staff, and great drinks. They were willing to meet even my strangest requests for drinks, and they were very reasonably priced. Will definitely return. read more
