Note: they serve grilled dinners on Saturday night only, but food requires a reservation. Joe, Le Ann, and their children are so welcoming! I love sitting at the bar listening to Joe's stories, and he has one for just about every occassion. I make it to this area only about once a year, twice if I'm lucky. If I'm really lucky I get the opportunity to have a few at this establishment. Can't wait to be back again.

Went for Friday Fish Fry and it was beyond delicious! We…read morewere a bit nervous walking in since it's a small town and we were visiting for the first time so not being regulars can be awkward at times. We also had our two kids with us so we weren't sure what the vibe would be but we were pleasantly surprised! The fish fry almost ran out which is understandable since it's so good. My husband got the In and Out Burger and he said it's one of the best burgers he's ever had. Definitely will be back when we're in the area again!

The other reviews seems to be spot on regarding this gem in the middle of somewhere. I go here for…read moretheir excellent prime rib dinner on Saturdays after a good paddle or trout fishing excursion on the Kickapoo River or its tributaries. The Prime Rib is slightly cheaper than it would be in a major city, and be sure not to go overboard! The smallest cut they serve is still huge, and I rarely see anyone actually finish the bigger cuts. They don't expect it to be so big and/or don't believe me when I warn them. They have a salad bar that comes with the prime rib which includes some pasta salads, fruits, and desserts (which you can get for $5 by itself). Add a roll and choice of potato (the cheesy potatoes are excellent if available) and you have a huge meal. They start serving the prime rib at 5pm on Saturdays until it is exhausted. I hear the Sunday chicken is great, but I have not had it so far. The Friday Fish Fry is also excellent - good portions for a reasonable price. About the only thing that prevents perfection is that they do not have soft drinks on tap - you can only get them by the can. Lastly, drinks are usually strong and reasonably priced, so saddle up to the bar after canoeing or kayaking all day. No need to dress up, as they are used to big paddling groups coming in right off the water (you should have at least dunked yourself or swam toward the end of the paddle so you don't stink up the place anyway!).

My one reason for a low rating - the food is not hot. Their bbq grilled 1/2 chicken was barely warm. And the meat was tough. I'm not a fan of pizza, but the few times I had ordered one, it was cold. The wait staff definitely try hard to keep customers happy. I would suggest happy hour mostly. Tried their prime rib sandwich. The AI photo depicted far better sandwich than what was served. While the flavor was good, the meat was grizzly. Too much fat. Charged extra for onions, yet very little on the sandwich.

This is the real deal. Friendly service too! My only suggestion would be to add a kid-friendly pizza. Something much smaller in cheese so 3/4 of it won't end up in a to-go box would be nice. However, I understand if a restaurant has no intention of catering to kids and don't expect everyone to do so. I just know we would be more frequent visitors if options were available.
