This is the haddock filet (broiled) with a baked potato. Cocktail of choice was Titos and soda with lemon whish was also good.

This is the 3rd time coming to this place. The food is good and the staff is friendly. Definitely a place to come to when you're in the area. The band playing last night reminded me of Chris Stapleton. We stayed for a little while after dinner to listen to them. Menu is small but great options to choose from. There were 3 of us and we had a burger, fish sandwich and an Italian sausage and pepper sandwich. Delicious! Their fries and onion rings with homemade ranch on the side are delicious. Will definitely be back!

Beet & goat cheese salad.  Delicious!

We've been here several times. Excellent food. Only one time that the hor devour wasn't done…read moreproperly. We had stuffed mushrooms. The mushrooms themselves weren't properly cooked and the stuffing inside didn't have any one flavor. (mushrooms were undercooked & hard) Other than that...the stuffed salmon is excellent. The fillet mignon is perfect as well as their mashed potatoes and salad. The atmosphere is really nice especially at the bar. We would recommend this place for their care with the main dishes of food being served. The politeness of the staff at the bar and at the tables are very upscale and well mannered. Will come back again for sure.

We called ahead and were told there were no reservations available, but that the patio was open. We…read moreheaded out, and upon arrival we were informed that the patio menu was different than the dining room. Would have been nice to know over the phone, prior to driving 25 minutes. The patio appeared to just be a back bar. I walked up to the patio bar, and waited a few minutes. Another bartender came out from the back, looked at me, and then immediately walked over to the people ponying up on the other side. I was done at that point. Currently sitting at a place down the road, waiting an hour and a half for a table, but it's better than giving this place my business.

We absolutely loved this place! My whole dad's side of the family has been coming up to Minocqua…read morefor 70 years and they wanted to make the trip up to watch the Iowa Wisconsin game. We're a rowdy group of 20+ adults plus little kids and they were the only bar around that would take a reservation. They were so kind and accommodating to our massive group! They reserved the side of the bar for us so we could cheer and boo without disturbing the rest of the bar too much. They turned off the music so we could easily hear the game and each other. There was a room off to the side the kids could play ping pong or foosball while the adults hung out. They let you bring in your own food but they also have massive soft pretzels that were super tasty! (We didn't try the pizza but I bet it's great!) To top it all off they have a great selection of beers, mixed drinks and a small but solid wine selection! This place seriously made our family party the best it could possibly be! Thanks so much for being awesome to a big group!

As a bar, Forestry Tap & Axe is pretty average. However, they do have a decent selection of tap…read morebeer featuring local brewers such as Rocky Reef. What really stands out here are the games, including axe throwing, shuffle board, Hammerschlagen (a nail pounding game), darts, pool, ping pong, cribbage, and probably something else that I didn't see. Their shuffle board table is one of the best I've ever played on -- full sized, smooth and fast. It may take a few tries to get the hang of it, but once you get zeroed in it makes for a great game. And, of course, as their name implies, the featured activity is axe throwing. Tossing a dangerous tool, trying to stick it in a wooden wall, and hitting the target for maximum points is harder than it looks. But once you get the technique mastered (even partially) it is incredibly satisfying and a lot of fun. Three stars for the bar, five four the games, four overall.

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!
