What a little find! We've past this place a million times over the years and didn't think twice…read moreabout it. This week, while doing laundry at the local place in Woodruff, I walked down the street to the closest place I could find to get some lunch. Fritz's was open.... being a bar I had my doubts.... and I walked in. First of all, no cigarett smoke. Even though I was by myself, I felt perfectly at ease sitting at the bar. I was given the food choices (no menu) and selected pound burger with pepper cheese. Accompanied of course by a glass of a local Wisconsin beer on tap. I took one bite and said to myself, what have I found! Crazy good burger. Bun was toasted and perfectly crispy. Ample amount of cheese. Onions served raw or grilled. Meat was juicy. Next time we were in town, I took my husband and he thought the same thing. A glass of draft beer and two burgers came to a total of $10. I left a $3 tip. I was that impressed. I love a smoke free bar. Nice job Wisconsin.

A new bar/restaurant occupying an old closed bar. Been empty for years. I was hungry. It was open. I went in. At first typical NW bar. Very welcoming bartender with a good sense of humor. TVs all over the place. I ordered the ribs and was blown away. They were delicious. The drinks are free poured and healthy. So happy we have a new great place. I recommend it wholly. I'd give it a 5 but it's still a bar that serves good food. Not necessarily a family restaurant

All we heard from our local family was that we needed to go. So the day we were leaving we made sure to hit up the place as we left town. Bartender was an interesting character. Seemed unfriendly at first, but then warmed up and we were bantering in no time. Although I still got a weird vibe from him. I will say this, he made a bang on spicy bloody Mary and it is by far one of the best I have had in years! We definitely will go back when we come back to visit our family.

Speedy service,…read moredelicious food (with even some unique menu choices), great prices and the lake views are wonderful. We stopped in on a Saturday for lunch and were told to seat ourselves. The place was busy but not packed. We grabbed a hightop with lake views and perused the menu. The adults ordered old fashioneds ($5.50) and the kiddos had kiddie cocktails ($2), plus an appetizer of mini corn dogs ($8.50) as we were all starving. From there the adults ordered "Greg's Taco Wrap" ($11) and the Walleye Fingers Basket ($10.50) and the kiddos ordered from the kids menu with a 9" Cheese Pizza ($5.95) and a Hamburger with Fries ($4.95) with cheese (not sure if we were up-charged for that). Note, water is self serve by the front door. The food all came out quickly and were very large servings. I couldn't believe how many fries came with the kids meal! The Taco Wrap was the highlight of the meal, but it was all delicious. Nitpick would be a lighter batter on the walleye fingers, but it was still good. We ended our meal with the kiddos playing some of the arcade games, which were surprisingly only $1 a play. My only regret is I wish I would have ordered the duck wontons. Next time!

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.

Ok, I've seen many advertisements for this bar and grill. I've wanted to try it and had my…read moreopportunity the other night. What a mistake. I'll just tell you this. 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 snack was lacking cleanliess from a seafood POV-The martinis (2) were as requested but here was an issue w/pricing-not in POS. When I was leaving I noticed the cost for 1 (ONE) martini was $19-I had 2 and tipped $20 cuz I work in industry. I left paying $80 for overpriced cocktails, a poorly prepared appetizer & an inflated tip. The next day I noticed at the store; the entire bottle of gin selling for the same price as my 2 drinks-These were 3-4oz pours. I called to politely discuss w/manager & left a message. That's where everything went terribly wrong. I tried to ask what they charged for high end martinis-She gave me a price much less than I was charged. She then kept saying I need a ticket number or I can't talk to you any longer-I don't keep my receipts-She started yelling she needed a ticket number. Mistakes happen all the time in a restaurant-I've managed many-It's recovering with grace that truly matters-This could have been handled so many different ways. The manager was so inappropriate on the phone, defensive & rude. Its a shame as I live down the road & eat out often. But I learned my lesson-I'm out $80 but I won't make the same mistake twice-Check your receipts & ask questions before you leave-if you decide to try this place!

Ditto for the food. But while I can't rave about either, I can't complain. My sandwich was decent and I was glad that they offered potato salad as a side dish. As a resident of the area, I probably won't become a regular customer because it's not that spectacular. But for those who enjoy this genre, and for vacationers, it fills an important niche and the food and drink is fine.
