I took home probably the best pizza in the entire Minocqua area. I was greeted nicely, served well, met the owner and her daughter and granddaughter, and couldn't have enjoyed a nicer atmosphere. Rustic Pines is a wonderful place. read more

Pizza is good as are all the other foods on the menu. Parking is good and is easy to get to in snowmobile

I have a second home in Minocqua and we have frequented Rustic Pines for over 5 years. We supported their establishment through Covid and beyond. I am regular enough to expect a friendly "hey, great to see you" but this has not and will not occur, ever. Whether they are busy or not there is something missing in the sole of this place. A great fish fry does not make up for being treated like they could "take or leave" your business. Do yourself a favor and go to Black Bear where the food and ambiance is just as good but the Service actually appreciates that you decided to come in. read more

We went for a late dinner on a Friday night. They have a shorter menu on Friday nights. Even so, everyone in our party found something good to eat. Several had their fish fry. It was good--not too much breading! Good beer selection, too. read more

The pizza was great and the owners were so nice even when they were short handed. I would recommend this place but make sure you bring cash. read more

Great Old Fashioneds, better food, but best is the friendliness of owner and staff. Class act all day.

Debbie took this classic roadside bar over, remodeled it, and made it into a great place for burgers, pizza, and meeting friends. Debbie and the staff are super friendly and always make you feel at home. Great place to go any time! read more

Love this place, owners and wait staff are extremely friendly with great service. Burgers are amazing along with the pizza. The Friday night fish fry is something to try as well. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an authentic northern Wisconsin bar restaurant. read more

Great place to eat, good food. Comfortable Northwoods setting. Service is excellent. Owner greets you, seats you, takes your order, and serves you. She is right on top of things. I would definitely recommend this place. read more

Rustic Pines Pub - Sign off Hwy 70 - Pizza Near Me - Minocqua, Wisconsin

First visit to Rustic Pines Pub - just 10 minutes West of Minocqua on Hwy 70. Cute Northwoods decor. New bartender Kim, took great care of us - taking time to introduce herself and welcome us to Rustic Pines Pub. She made an excellent Wisconsin classic - Brandy Old Fashioned. I had the Mushroom Swiss Burger smothered in brown gravy and fries and she tried the evening special - butterfly shrimp dinner and fries. Food was excellent - above average "bar food" for sure. Had to deduct a star for something simple - charging for an extra cocktail sauce seemed a little unnecessary. Nonetheless, Kim made it a fun visit and the food was delicious. Enjoy, we did. Oh, FYI - they only take cash, no credit cards or checks but they do have an ATM on site. read more

I have been dropping in here for the last few years and in different seasons. The establishment is super clean and run efficiently by a hands on owner. I like to support small businesses that work in a tough industry where hiring can be difficult. You can appreciate the hard work of this owner. I always enjoy a good nacho plate and Rustic Pines consistently serves the best around without skimping on meat and cheese. Shrimp and burgers with fries are just the right portion. Simple Northwoods tavern hospitality is very consistent. Never disappointed because they care. read more

Cleanest Tavern in Wisconsin. Debbie & crew very professional with great food & drinks. Great location on Hwy 70, West side of Minocqua. Try the pizza and sandwiches. Great for Badger & Packer games. Nick Lac du Flambeau read more

Rustic Pines Pub - Pizza Near Me - Minocqua, Wisconsin

We came in to get a quick meal. No masks were required to enter. No masks worn by staff. Owner is still very friendly, but did not see any sanitizing to clean tables after customers. Meal was hot, but fries were not as hot as they should have been. Ordered hot wings, asked for extra ranch. Was told it comes with ranch. When the check came, there was a .50 charge. They said the wings come with a small cup of ranch, so we were to assume the standard sized cup contained the extra we'd asked for. However, we we're not told that. The waitress seemed unfriendly and could barely smile. She did not show how much a beer or how much the Bloody Mary was. That should always be itemized. those prices are not listed on the menu. $$ Hamburger, basket of shrimp, app of 10 wings a beer and Bloody Mary was near 50.00 read more

Stopped in for a drink before going to dinner to experience some of the bars near our rental on Lake Shish. Enjoyed meeting Debbie. She runs a good business and we will go back the next time we are in town. read more

Debbie, Jay and Courtney are the best. Pizza is great, along with Jay's Makers old fashioned. Stop in when you're west of town.

Have been back 3 times in 2018 and the food & service have been great. We've taken the family and had burgers and pizza and everyone was happy with their meals. And, yes, the place is very clean and I appreciate that too! Cash only and they have a ATM on site. read more

We love this place. Excellent fish fry, take and bake pizzas and shrimp baskets. The potato salad is homemade. So glad for the takeout window, too, which makes pickup a breeze. read more

So, I am obsessed with the pizza in the North Woods. You just can't get pizza like this anywhere. I don't know if it's the yeast, the Wisconsin cheese, or the sauce?!! I found this little gem a few years ago and ordered their pizza this year. Um...I was missing out!!! Wow! Seriously, my favorite pizza ever! I wish I could have it boxed up and shipped. Until next year, Rustic Pines! Please don't ever change the recipe. I am craving it! read more

Our appetizers were very good, but our pizzas were overdone, our bill was wrong (we were charged for food we did not receive), our waitress was rude, and we won't be back. This is our second bad experience here. We gave it a second chance because we've seen good reviews, but I'm thinking the people giving good reviews may be good friends of the owners. Jacks pizza is just as good. We received poor service & not good food. Cash only, no register receipts. read more

Love the atmosphere as it feels very up north. The food is good, the service is fine and the fish fry is excellent.

Awesome pizza!!!! Easily some of the best in town. Nice clean bar with friendly staff. Off the beaten path but worth the trip!!!!

I have had a few issues with the ownership in the past but all of that is water under the bridge, decent pub food. Worth a visit

I agree with Noel, this is the cleanest tavern in town. Jay and Debbie have completely remodeled in a new, rustic feel, warm pine logs, glowing fireplace and large eat-in game room for families. If you want to watch your favorite sports team this is place that has large screen TV's, friendly staff serving pizza and sandwiches. read more

Fantastic pizza!! Tried it for the first time last night. Great customer service. I will be back!

A MUST if you are sledding and looking for a great Northwoods experience. Also, summer here is perfect with their great drinks and food. Thanks Deb & Jay! read more

Had excellent pizzas for lunch. The toppings plus loads of cheese made for a delicious meal. Our grand daughter was pleased with the mini corn dogs, fries and a very small potion of applesauce. The meal was particularly fun since the dish was a keepsake frisbee! A very nice touch! The service was also excellent especially since one person seemed to be doing everything in the front end. The only negative is that they don't take credit cards. read more

Rustic pines pub I recommend this place, the food is fantastic! The owners are very friendly and so is the staff!

My wife and I have been here at least a half dozen times and always been pleased with the food. The pizza is great and all of the ingredients are fresh. I love the wings. There is a game room for the Grandkids. We highly recommend this place. read more

We have been traveling northern Wisconsin extensively for over 40 years. This is a new place so the "rustic" feel at this pub begins & ends with the log wood tables and chairs. We have eaten here several times and the food has been marginal. My husband summed it up best saying we have thrown together better meals when stopping for fuel at a Kwik Trip during our travels. There are much better choices within a few miles of this Pub. The locals report the pub being open is always hit or miss and the same can be said for the mood of the owner that is still carrying issues from their bar just down the road that failed. read more

Have lived in the Northwoods for over 30 years and would vote Rustic Pines pizza tops. Unique seasonings and an outstanding thin crust. For those who haven't tried this restaurant, do yourselves a favor. In addition, the people who own and run it are great! read more
