Very nice bar. Our waitress, Paige, was really nice. Quality good. There were 4 guys and 2 of them had the hamburgers and they were good. The poppers and fried pickles were great! Nice people read more

Nope! Do not waste your money here. Half the orders with fries were cold, the nachos were missing alot of ingredients, the meat on the nachos...I'm not sure but I think it was a left over hamburger that they just dumped seasoning on and called it good, and to top it off....raw chicken. The poor waitress was clueless, the manager was defensive, and everything was just slow. We were the only group eating. What happened, it used to be so good. read more

We had a party of 7, this experience was absolutely laughable it was so bad on so many levels. The poor young girl waiting on us obviously was never trained. I felt so bad for her. One thing after another was wrong with the food. And she didn't have the tools (knowledge ) of what to do. At one point, she said I asked the cook to fix this, and she said no. WHAT? Are you kidding, here is cold bad food, and you are going to eat it. Cmon man. At one point she was upset,and went for help. Another young girl came out and accused one of my group of being rude. That really set him off, and he lost his temper. I ordered nachos grande. And they came out cold. Literally cold. The "beef" looked like a left over burger, or worse. And the chips were stale. 15 bucks for a pile of garbage. I don't think one person at our table had food that was good. Ya, horrible is more like it. This will probably go down in my mind as the worst restaurant experience I have ever experienced read more

Starting with the good... I really like the pizza fries... my daughters chicken sandwich was "good"... the other two people in my family ordered burgers and they got totally the wrong burgers. The waitress got one of the burgers remade but didn't offer on the other. Hmm. The waitress said, all I do is grab them. Doesn't seem like a good practice, may want to look at them prior to giving them to your customers. Sadly the cooks and waitress didn't seem to pay enough attention to the orders to make sure the customers got what they ordered. Sad! read more

Very ordinary, three of us ordered burgers, frozen patty. Dry and basic. Culver's is superior to these burgers. One got onion rings frozen variety. I got salad for up charge, it was seriously to smallest side salad I've ever had. One had chicken wrap. It looked good and she enjoyed it. Waitress was a scatter brain and we froze. I don't think they had the heat on. We were the only table besides friend of an employee. We waited a very long time considering we were the only table. read more

first the pizza was served to another table so after waiting for a new pizza, they brought it out and it was not even done. I asked to have them cook it some more and they brought it out and the bottom was still doughy and the top was a little more done. absolutely terrible, the worst I think I've ever had. chetek is our favorite vacation spot every year and we've enjoyed reds in the past, but we will never return based on tonight's experience. Pizzas were being returned to the kitchen nonstop. It was almost unbelievable to watch. customers were sitting at their tables just waiting on food and nothing was coming out. read more

Nice northern Wisconsin bar-restaurant Big bar, big eating area, nice outdoor area. Plenty of dock space if you want to come in off the lake Good food, fine Friday fish fry, good bar selection, limited tap beer but they do have spotted cow and rush river Family friendly and plenty of seating for large parties read more

If you don't like noise go to Reds during the week, not weekends... that said you can't go wrong with their pizza, it is excellent and packed with that yummy Wisconsin cheese! Service was good ... very slow, but we were not in a hurry. Thanks read more

On 7/23/22 on a Saturday evening at 6PM we, a group of 8 went for dinner a Red's only to be very disappointed. We we're seated and it took a half hour for a someone to take our orders and when ordering prime they told us they didn't have mashed or baked potatoes, so we substituted, another half hour passed and the waitress came back out and said I have more bad news for you we're out of prime rib also. I don't know who the owner is but he doesn't know how to run or manage business. We will never be going back and I suggest to all potential customers to stay a way also. read more

Great patio bar, the inside was dated and dead for a Saturday night. Very friendly and helpful staff. I'm guessing they have at least 75 bottles of liquor behind the bar and the only bourbon they pour is Jim Beam. It's 2019 and bourbon is one of if not the hottest spirits and they don't have one premium bourbon?! read more

Be prepared to wait 2 hours to get your food. But once it got there, it was pretty good. That is all

Ridiculously disorganized service. They had two waitresses running the entire bar area and dining room on a busy Sunday afternoon. Food was mediocore at best...bar food basically. My chicken would have been better with the bar-b-que sauce I ordered! The cheese curds would have been nice as an appetizer! I just can't express my full disappointment. read more

Great place for entertainment, drinks, and atmosphere. The dining area could change the lighting (just the bulbs even) for a better ambience/lake side inn feel. The food was split: My burger was so-so, her chicken tenders basket was fantastic. Overall, go there for a fun place by the lake. We will be back... read more

Friendly staff, good food! I ordered a chicken Caesar salad and two kids meals; one burger and the other was nuggets. All of our food was seasoned good and was hot. My kids liked it and chowed down. Bartender was patient and helpful with making sure I had everything for food knowing I had two toddlers with. Environment was not bad, people were nice. Will come back read more

This place has really good greasy food but the service here is terrible. If you want quick service don't come here. We waited 20 minutes just to get drinks but the waitress was really polite about it and apologized. This is one of my favorite places to eat in chetek I highly recommend it as this is the first time I've had bad service here. Plus the outdoor seating here is amazing they put big windows up so you can see lake Chetek. read more

This is the worst bar on the lake. Gave it the ole three strikes your out. It was a Ghost town with customers and we could not get a drink. Then someone came to take our order and didn't get drinks. What a joke trying to get a refill. Then everything came out burnt. Pizza and kids food everything. With no one there! I would go to any other place on the lake not to mention last time we had the pizza over half the group got sick. We thought maybe just bad luck but no it happened again. And for 4 adults and 2 infants they charged us a "group" rate that automatically added in 18% tip. Like the kids did not cause any extra reason for extra persons. AVOID AVOID AVOID. read more

Amazing establishment for opening your doors to those affected by the twister, free of charge no less! read more

Extremely slow service, food is mediocre at best, pricing is high for the area, and the bathrooms are disgusting. We stopped in on a Saturday evening for dinner and sat in the dining room. Despite 4-5 hostesses at the host stand, there seemed to be only one waitress running all the tables. I ordered the Jack Daniels burger - it was a frozen patty with some fried onions on it. The beer I ordered never showed up, so after completing our meal, sitting for 10 minutes waiting for the elusive waitress, I finally walked up to the hostess stand and asked them to cancel my beer since I was done eating. I also asked for my check, which finally showed up 5 minutes later. The waitress asked what we ordered, then left our check. A 0% tip was appropriate, but I left cash for our check + $2, then left. We won't be back, which is too bad since our cabin is a short boat ride away. read more

Don't order the Caesar salad! So sad, $11.99 for wilted mystery lettuce, pizza type Parmesan (not fresh) cheese, the size of a side salad. Wait staff offered no explanation for the truly awful salad. I had the sleeve soaker burger which was very good. read more

Good Friday fish fry---Broiled Cod was better than the deep fried----reasonably priced---good appetizers

First time at Red's heard good things about this place but very disappointed. 9 people went, all 9 were not impressed. Pizza was mediocre to good, fish fry was cold, french fries cold, and portions very small this was had by four people. CBR wrap was good and adc... Salad was good, but how do you screwup a salad. 4 people had Brandy old fashioned, all made different, no consistency. And when reordered more they were not as good as the first round. Do not recommend this place, also staff could be more pleasant, but they were very prompt and attentive. read more

Horrible experience. We placed an order for a 6pm pick up but got a text at 5pm that the pizza was ready. When we called to ask about it, they assured us that the pizza was not done yet and even when we picked it up, they told us it had only been under the heat for 10 minutes but the pizza was barely warm. They also did not take our order correctly and we were missing parts to the salad that we ordered. Also was not told at any point that the cheese fries were not available even though we ordered them. Not only did they not fix their mistake, but they lied, had horrible customer service and the food was really bad. read more

I've been to Red's each of the past two years. The location, on the water is perfect and picturesque! The food, especially the pizza and fish are excellent. The service is hit or miss, but they always try hard. They have excellent specials and a friendly staff. read more

This place was great. We were skeptical based on the rating but were very pleasantly surprised. The staff was super friendly (Marisa was our server) and our food was great. I highly recommend the big cheddar nuggets. I can't even begin to describe these - it's probably a 1.5" cube of cheddar cheese deep fried with a light tempura batter. Absolutely amazing. My husband had the Wisconsin Prime Rib sandwich and I had the build your own chicken sandwich. Equally tasty. The sweet potato waffle fries were nice and thin, not too thick and mushy. We would definitely stop here again when in the area. read more

If you're looking for food that's fast and has flavor, Reds is the place to go! Their wings are fantastic and the service is friendly.

My friends and I were on the " Witches Walk". We decided to end the night at Reds. We walked in and found the bar light to moderate. We walked in and sat down and waited ten minutes. Servers walked by and didn't even acknowledge us. We asked two separate servers for help and all we got from them was "I'll find your server". No servers or bar-tenders came over to take our orders. We decided to leave and find a place that cares for their patrons. read more

Horrible service. Waitress had no idea of food safety or COVID regulations. Just horrible.

Love love love!! Best bad-for-you food ever. Good drinks and you can drive your boat here. Nummy!

Good food and friendly people. This is one of my favorite places to go to in chetek. For a good burger this is where I go. read more

They have the most loaded bloody Mary I have ever had. Not only is it strong and delicious, but it is basically a meal, as it comes with brussel sprouts, sweet onions, pickled mushrooms, pepperoni, and a pickle. Haven't had the food, but if you are in the cabin town of Chetek, I would definitely recommend this place. read more

Pretty sure if you're not a regular or a local they will flat out ignore you. We went there for lunch & were ignored so we left. I can't comment on the food, but service is non existent. Don't bother with this place. read more

Terrible. I went here with two friends about a year ago and was ignored by the servers there for about a half hour. Not so much as a quick "can I get you guys some drinks?" Will never go back here. Hopefully they are under new management by now read more

Each summer we spend a week or more in Chetek. Eating at Red's is an event that we enjoy. The food is good. The service is remarkable. A place that locals and vacationers can go for a reasonable costing meal. Try the pizza; either eating it there or take it with you. If it is raining, come over for a beer and watch sports on the TV. read more

Horrible food bad service. It used to be good not sure what happened. We have been coming here for years. Fish taste like rubber

Sometimes the service can be a little slow but I've always been in there when they are busy and the staff is always friendly. They have good drinks and awesome cheese curds! Nice outdoor seating area and great location with a view of the lake. read more

Always good service, food is always good and the wait is never long at all. Staff regularly checks your drinks, but never overbearing.

Amazing service and food. We had a two yr old and sat in their back dinning room I have never had better service they were so accommodating the prices we're great and they had a great menu!! Definitely will eat here again on our next trip. read more

This is one of the best non-chain restaurants in Barron county. The service was amazing and food had great taste.
