Midwest bbq, if you can call it bbq. We were told this was…read morethe best bbq in Wisconsin from a friend I personally was very underwhelmed... I got the pulled pork platter with coleslaw and Brussel sprouts. Pulled pork was bland and didn't have much flavor, lots of liquid on the plate. Coleslaw was coleslaw, take it or leave it. Brussel sprouts were the best thing I ate, they have hot honey and I'm a sucker for hot honey. The drink I had was a chocolate porter from Round Man brewery, it didn't have much flavor, I've had better.

Good ambiance, nice patio, clean restrooms, but my party was very disappointed with their meals…read more Our group of 4 stopped during a work roadtrip, hungry during a long drive. The location is convenient, directly off of the freeway in rural Northern Wisconsin. The menu offers sandwiches, a salad, and platters that don't disclose just how little meat is included (assuming they were 1/4lb servings). I opted for the pulled pork, which unfortunately lacked any flavor besides apple cider vinegar. I had to not only drench it in BBQ, but for the first time ever I had to salt the meat. My coworkers left hungry when their platters included only 2 slices of brisket. Points for creativity on their sides. I love the variety of options, but none met my expectations in the slightest. Overall, the whole meal lacked flavor, seasoning, and they should work on their portions/prices. Spending over $20 on a platter here is a waste.

I enthusiastically change my rating from three stars to five!…read more I visited Tamarack Farms with my family during our recent trip to Hayward and wow is this spot much improved from when I visited six years ago. Some things that stood out: * The farm pizza! This was delicious. We tried a couple including pepperoni and mac and cheese pizza. The crust was excellent as was the toppings. I was also impressed by how well the mac and cheese stayed on top of the pizza. The kids loved it too! * The brisket! My husband's aunt and uncle recommended this, and they weren't wrong. It was so tender. Just perfection! * The cornbread! If you ever had Famous Dave's cornbread, this is very similar, and for good reason. "Famous Dave" Dave Anderson owns Tamarack Farms. * The wine slushies! On a warm day, these hit the spot. It also feels like this restaurant has refined its approach. This includes the decor, the menu and how the restaurant is run. Where before we had to wait a while for our food, this time around everything seemed to run like a well oiled machine. Tamarack Farms also includes a fun selection of wine, so you could take some bottles home with you. The building is open and airy, with large garage doors. It's just a fun place all around. I hope it becomes a tradition that we come here whenever we're in the Northwoods.

They had a small menu but there were tons of families and adults hanging out. It was def a vibe!

We came in for dinner while visiting friends on nearby Pipe Lake…read more Definitely a spot for regulars who own cabins on the nearby lakes. It was very crowded. First, the staff was outstanding. Despite being absolutely packed, we were sat almost immediately. Every staff member was super friendly and attentive. It was our friend's birthday and they brought a dessert and sang happy birthday. It was a Friday night Fish Fry. Since I don't eat fish, I ordered the cheeseburger and fries. I'm a picky burger eater. I expect them to be cooked to temperature. Our friend said this is not the type of place that cooks to order. Regardless if they had the temperature right or not, I couldn't tell. It was very juicy and delicious! Tasted medium to me! The fries were hot and crispy. The fish and chips were delicious according to our friends as was the chicken salad. Everyone loved their meals. Stop in to support the County Line if in the area!

We started off with the chili beer cheese totchos, which came out pretty quickly. They were very flavorful and everyone enjoyed them. It took a long time for our entrees to come out. It eventually got awkward as the dining room we were in nearly emptied completely, except for one other table that ordered right after us. I had the ribeye, medium rare, with garlic parmesan fries and mac & cheese. The ribeye needed more seasoning and some areas that were seared/charred literally hurt my teeth to chew. My mom ordered the honey bourbon chicken & shrimp and she was sooooo happy with it that she talked about it for two days. My husband had the chicken marsala pasta with crispy chicken and he felt it had been sitting in the window for a while as it was barely warm. Now, we finished eating, got to-go boxes, paid, and as we were leaving the guys next to us that ordered right after us still didn't have their entrees, so there were definitely some issues with the kitchen that night. I guess maybe I'd go for lunch next time and hope it's different during the day.
