Great burger selection with all kinds of unique burgers! I disagree with other review on here,…read morethese are clearly very generous, hand formed fresh patties and they are seasoned well. The ciabatta bun is soft and perfect. Husband tried the Western burger and said it was one of the best burgers he's had. I tried the Sticky Burger with peanut butter and surprisingly, it really works! Fun change from the usual. Fries are a step above your usual fries, and I like that they don't come all salty and you can salt to taste. We didn't have dessert but they had a nice assortment of homemade desserts like rhubarb pie, cherry torte, and pies. Our server was very friendly and attentive and brought a dog bowl out too. We really appreciated the dog friendly patio. Was very relaxing compared to the overcrowded places in downtown Minocqua. Plus they had Hazy Rabbit IPA on tap. $37 total for a craft beer, root beer, and two big, filling, unusual burgers with good fries, with a water view. We'll be back.

I had to knock it down a star because there were literally ZERO Covid precautions. We're from the city and used to wearing masks everywhere and we walked in with masks on and everyone looked at us like we were crazy. Not even the bartenders or servers were wearing masks even though there's a state mandate. Other than the safety aspect, it was genuinely a great time. Everyone was very friendly and there was live music and karaoke. It was definitely a small town dive bar feel and was an absolute blast. We were mostly there for drinks, but we did get the spinach and artichoke dip as a snack and it was delicious! There was also a really nice patio out back that had games.

If I would have seen this before eating I would have walked out. The men's restroom is across the hallway fron the kitchen. Cases of canned goods were at the end of the hall just a few feet away. The men's room was atrocious. A large open garbage can was there for used paper towels. It was only a quarter full yet half of the floor was covered with the used paper towels. Thw worst part of it is that in a corner of the room was a big puddle of urine. It smelled so bad in there. The mens room was obviously frequented by the half dozen drunk patrons at the bar. They didn't bother us or other patrons in yhe dining area but their banging beer bottles on the bar, extremely loud conversation and occasional chanting should have proved that their service should have been cut off. But the blonde bimbo bartender obviously saw nothine but more tips with more beers. I give this joints a Minus 5. Never again for the Outback on 51 in Woodruff WI.

The best cheese curds and wild rice soup in the Minocqua area…read more Seriously you need to try the wild rice soup. It's the best I have ever had. Anytime we come to the area we grab some. They have a great selection of beers including a nice amber one that was smooth. Cheese curds were melty and super hot. The best way to eat them. Son had a burger that he inhaled.

I was visiting Hoogie Doggies specifically for their homemade lemonade. It is absolutely delicious…read more Made fresh to order. Or I should say it was made fresh to order. I believe there are new owners, but I am not certain. It appeared that the lemonade was pre-mixed. And it wasn't made in the plastic containers when they would smash the lemons for the fresh lemon juice. It was in a regular fast food cup. It certainly didn't taste the same. I was really disappointed. It was quite busy and it appeared. Everyone was ordering ice cream. So if that is your preference, maybe this is the place to go. They also had a grill with corn on the cob available to purchase. That was something new that I've never seen before. I hope they return to the freshly made lemonade.

So of course I have to try it and let me tell you... it did NOT disappoint! I have eaten there there before and had their delicious deli sandwiches and their burgers are cooked to perfection, but wow! It's all you can eat deep fried pollack. Made to order beer battered or cajun. Included Murtaugh's clam chowder(I WANTED TO BATHE IN THIS STUFF, SO GOOD!), coleslaw, rye bread, their famous made from scratch potato salad (YUMMO! ) or french fries, lemon & tarter. And yay! They had malt vinegar! I love that with my fish. And let's not forget our bartender (sorry sir, I forgot your name ) but he was just on top of EVERYTHING! Fast, polite, engaging and a great smile!

Our server, Leah, was very pleasant and met our every need. I'm extremely picky about tartar sauce and she brought me out plenty to try and then when I loved it, more to enjoy with their excellent fries. I thought it was the best I've ever had in a restaurant. We all enjoyed our meal and my daughter loved her Fettuccine Alfredo especially. My walleye sandwich was incredible, too, especially since that tartar sauce was so phenomenal. One thing that really caught my eye was how hard the hostess was working. I don't think I've ever seen someone of her generation with such an amazing work ethic. It was kind of fun to watch her do her thing. If I had a company of my own locally, I would definitely be working to hire her. I didn't get her name, a d she looked awfully young to own the place. She acted as if she did, however. Amazing!

Baked potatoes were delish and huge !! The bar has a great selection of tap beer and I also had a great cranberry vodka (from northwater distillery) that had a little spice to it with diet sprite (thanks for having diet!!)
