Chanticleer Beer garden... Disappointed We've been coming…read morefor 20+ years every time we're up in Eagle River. We make sure we stop in for beer and bratwurst off our pontoon boat. Yesterday was so disappointing. I don't think we're coming back. Several things . We were the only ones there at 11:30. We noticed....They have moved the grill from outdoors to indoors, which creates a huge timeline lag , from when you order to when you receive your food. We ordered six bratwurst, an order of chicken strips, chips, that's good tots, beer. The Brats were long and narrow( not plump and juicy). They were overcooked, super dry, and no flavor. The only thing good were the onions and mustard. But for 90$ worth of food ... the value killed the ambience. Our order took over 20 minutes to receive, hey we're on vacation and while the time wasn't terrible, but we were surprised as they were not busy. Things change over the years and the food quality this year is poor. Eat at your own risk.

Great place, friendly staff. So fun to tie up your boat for a beer and a brat. The beer was…read moregreat. The brat was terrible. Nasty and undercooked. I recommend they fire the chef and cook the brats outside on a real grill. It's Wisconsin for Christ sake! Everyone knows how to properly prepare a brats! Boil it in beer and onions then brown it on the grill!

We went for a decently early dinner and were able to make reservations as well which made it very convenient. We were seated promptly and our waitress was very kind. I also appreciate a place that knows how to make a good old fashioned and has a nice salad bar! That's the true north woods experience. White Tail remains absolutely beautiful and charming as it always has, this building is historic and there's truly nothing like the ambiance in there especially with the live piano. The Ahi Tuna small plate was delicious. I wouldn't consider it a "small plate" it was huge. There is no skimping on portions here, that's for sure. Two of us decided on the Perch Fish Fry, and the other opted for the Cod. I can speak on the Perch because that's what I had. It was seasoned perfectly, not too breaded, and it was HOT. My only minor complaint is that there were a lot of bones that I had to pick out/be careful not to eat. For my side I got the cheesy grits and I haven't stopped thinking about them since. They are by far in the top 5 most delicious things I've ever had in my entire life lol. I tried a piece of the cod, the fish is good but I'm personally not a fan of the batter breading, or the type of fries White Tail serves. Finished the night off with a Brandy Alexander but was kicking myself after I saw that the Banana Banshee is back on the menu. I came here a few years ago before the new ownership and asked for one and they didn't do that at the time, so I'll definitely be getting that the next time we come in.

To be honest for the price we paid, we were heartily disappointed. We will not be returning. Also, when I called for a reservation, I asked for 7 people at 5:30. She told me that wouldn't work but they could do 6. Seriously? There was no one there! Ugh

The staff as attentive to our table and quick. The drink menu was big. The daiquiri and pina colada were from a smoothie machine and not super frozen so on a hot day it doesn't last long. I got the chicken bacon ranch wrap with sweet potatoes fries. The sweet potato fries were good but feel like missing a dipping sauce with them. The wrap was a good portion, I prefer a little more sauce. The fish fry plate was big, 3 pieces of fish. The batter was crispy. The corn bread was yummy.

Sat outside close to the dock, was a beautiful sunny day and not too hot. Wifey had a salad with grilled chicken. Looked very good and ended up as part of the clean plate club. Friends had pulled pork sliders which looked very good. Three small rolls with pork, cole slaw and a dressing. Fourth adult had fish tacos with side of fries. Fish portion was modest. One child had beef tacos, must not have been very good because only a half was eaten. Child number two had a corn dog and fries. Can't complain about the food, but the prices were a little high for what we received. Recommend as a great place to stop while on the lake but would not journey there for other meals.

What defines the salad bar as great are the homemade salads, we tried tuna/pasta/pea salad, three bean salad and cauliflower /broccoli /carrot salad which were all great. We were there on a Friday night and had the fried haddock which is one of the better fish frys I've had in WI. It comes with the salad bar/potato & traditional rye bread. We had the homemade strawberry and the blueberry pies that were devine and I'm told that people put their pie slices on order when they make their reservations. A place not to be missed when you're up north!

The waitress was very nice, but not very personable. In her defense it was very busy, so I understand that. It is right on lake, and it has a really pretty view. Overall a really good experience.
