So if you're on the way back from Devil's Lake or Circus World or Wollersheim Winery, just go. It's a one room classic Wisconsin Tavern. It's clearly a locals joint. Don't be intimidated by the row of Harley's parked in front of the door. Everyone in the place was nice, down right friendly.... and I'm guessing there is a regular flow of recreational bikers coming and going. The bartender knew just about everyone there except for us. But we'll be back. The fresh burgers and bacon comes from the Lodi, one town over, and you can tell it's fresh and local. Prices are extremely reasonable. Of course there's a full bar with about five beers on tap and an ample supply of bottled beers including local favorites. But it's the burgers I'll be back for. So take the field trip and check out Tootsies. Seek out the out of the way local joints during your summer travels.

Menu is very limited, but that didn't matter to us. We were going to check out the burgers. Hamburger with a slice of raw onion, two bacon cheese burgers (their specialty) with a slice of raw onion and a side of fries, and a veggie wrap rounded out our order. Burgers were a good size and cooked well. Meat was coarse grind which we like. Fries were nothing special but came hot to the table. The wrap was underwhelming. Service was friendly. Food was better than average but place needed a good cleaning, especially the cooking grill and back room which was visible. 4 stars is generous. Likely not return until cleanliness is addressed.

You won't run into Peter here, but you'll meet other delightful people -- locals and vacationers. Most of the time, it's closed, but on the rare occasion that you find this building open (usually a weekend evening during warmer weather), it's a bit of a delight. Owned and operated by the people who run Twin Shores next door, this little building has a tiny, crowded bar with one table, and several outdoor tables. The drinks here are the same as the drinks at Twin Shores. It's a perfect spot for an after dinner drink when you want to sit outside and breathe in the fresh lake air on a warm summer night.

We arrived around five on a Friday night and usually with fish fry you would have to wait for a seat, but there were two tables open. The waitress came over right away and took our drink order. We ordered the fried pickles to start. They were good. They have quite a variety of appetizers, including some Asian inspired. Then we ordered the three-piece fish fry, perch, and the salmon. At first glance, the portions of seafood seemed a little small however, for the price it's a good deal. You also get breadsticks, coleslaw, and baked beans. The salmon was the unexpected star!! Better than most chain restaurants and right there with expensive ones! The inside is decorated like a typical Wisconsin dive bar, but the food exceeded our expectations. The service was the cherry on top. We will definitely be back!

It's a local hangout with that classic dive bar vibe: friends chatting at the bar, a lonely guy playing slots in the corner, and no pretense whatsoever. The atmosphere is very "Wisconsin dive," and if you're not a local, it's easy to feel out of place. The drinks are standard, nothing special, and the food is nothing to write home about. It's cozy in a low-key way, but don't expect anything fancy. For locals looking for a casual spot to grab a drink, it works, but outsiders might not feel the same warmth.
