This is definitely a spot in the woods. We had driven by the sign on J multiple times before making…read morethe trip down the long (some would say scary) wooded road to the restaurant. Don't be scared, go and check this place out. There's a great bar area for those looking to watch the game and grab a bite to eat. But, I could see this place getting busy and packed pretty quickly. They have some games outside (volleyball and horseshoes) near the septic mound system (which is a little gross and weird to me, but hey, have a beer or two and you won't care!). There's a large area for those that want more of a dining experience and they can seat large tables if needed. For food, get the pizza. Everyone gets the pizza. We were gently warned by the bartender to get the pizza and we were stupid and didn't for some reason. Everyone gets the pizza and it looks delicious. And it smells delicious. Get the pizza. Do yourself a solid. Get the pizza. I got the steak philly and it was really good with the side of chips and a cold beer. My partner got the chicken philly and he was not sharing a bite. So, that was a good choice too. But, people were stopping in to just get their pizzas to go. If people are driving well out of their way for pizza, that means it is really good. BRING CASH- they do have an ATM if you are a non-planner like me. It costs $3 for the service fee, but THEY DO NOT TAKE CHARGE CARDS here. The old fashioned was tastefully done both as sweet and as sour (sweet was a tinsy bit better than sour). Get a double- it was literally $.25 more for the double. Do not be cheap. Do yourself a second solid. Make your cocktail into a double. We'll be back for the pizza. And another double.

Spot in the woods we found out in early summer of 2025 was under new ownership. We have always…read moreenjoyed this establishment! Great pizza, fish fry & there fresh cut fries! Yummy!! So we headed on in like always-well, the new owner is basically a bar fly! We were the Only Customers and she couldn't even take our order! To busy talking to her teen children who were working/cooking. Finally got our pizza. Had to ask for napkins and paper plates. She told us "oh there usually on the tables " Pizza was pretty good. Then we had to flag the bar fly down Again just to pay!! Skip ahead to March 2026 thought we'd give them another chance. Fish Fry this time. Hmm, fish was definitely Hot but not as tasty as the previous owners served. Came in an old warped plastic basket w/mini portion of coleslaw (not the best), fries or baked potato( was 4pm-told us no baked til after 5) menu states after 3pm. Then server comes back and says, " oh I didn't know we had baked potatoes now, thought not til 5) Maybe server should know what the heck they are serving! Also, special was shrimp (which server said they were out of) glad I didn't want any. Also, heard the cook saying, "we only have 1 bag of fish left"!! WOW on a Friday night in Wisconsin during LENT!! Of course the Bar fly female owner was there playing slot video games and cackling! She informed the server that the woman's bathroom needed TP! That there was barely enough for her to use. Which tells me she used the last of it and couldn't be bothered to replace it!!! Lazy Boozy Bitch!! My adult children and inlaws tried dinner mud summer 2025- half the menu wasn't available!! They claimed the supply truck hadn't arrived yet. Needless to say they won't waste there time going again. And I would have to say the same. I have recommended this place to many people. Now I have regrets. I will now let them know NOT to waste their time & money.

We are out-of-towners that found this joint on a maps search. Based on the reviews I read from…read moreothers and the lack of BBQ options in our area, I was very excited to try this place. However, it didn't quite live up to the hype. My husband had the poutine with brisket (pictured), he ate most of it, but when asked for his thoughts on it he said the brisket seemed to have more pieces of fat than actual meat. The cornbread side he ordered was good though, with just the right amount of sweetness. I had a pulled pork sandwich with baked beans and potato salad. The beans had so many good reviews I felt compelled to try them, and they weren't bad just seemed like basic canned beans with some pulled pork thrown in. The pulled pork for the sandwich was fine, but came smothered in what appeared to be paprika, nothing special. Potato salad ingredients were nicely sized, but it was bland. The barbecue sauce might be homemade and you could feel the grittiness of the sugar crystals in it, which was surprising but good, and had a little bit of heat to it. I snuck a bite of my kids' mac and cheese after my two year old took a bite and said, "bleck." The Mac and cheese had the right amount of creaminess and the noodles were cooked to the right amount of tenderness to keep it from tasting like it's been sitting all day, but it seemed very bland and needed salt to be enjoyable. The pickles were very good. It took nearly thirty minutes to receive our food, but our server was very prompt in welcoming us and getting drinks to the table. They were also very friendly when my little one didn't want to stay seated and kept thinking the ATM was her personal computer, the struggle was real after being strapped in a car seat for the last 1.5 hours. There is a popcorn machine that offers free popcorn and a couple different seasoning options to top it with. My kids enjoyed the popcorn while we waited for our food. When I asked my kids what they thought of our new restaurant find, my middle daughter (10) commented on how the bartender was very loud and talked a lot. She could be heard regardless of which end of the restaurant she was on. I noticed the same thing, but thought maybe it was just me. We were fed, but probably won't return. This restaurant is located next to a railroad track in the middle of a very wooded area and the deer were abundant. We had to slow at least four times within 5 miles of the restaurant for deer crossing the road.

We were looking for a fish fry in the area... this one kept popping up with good reviews and this…read morelocal bar and grill kept popping up... and Shazam, we're glad we ventured into Tuesday's on a Friday evening. We both had the two piece haddock, one with a baked potato and one with potato pancakes. Fish was great with what seemed to be a cracker and or cornmeal crust... very nice. You don't see home made potato pancakes on a lot of menus, it's a really nice change up. Btw the 2-piece fish fry was $9... there was also a three and four piece option as well as a Blue Gill and a couple of shrimp specials. I also had a small bowl of the house made clam chowder - wowza. The clam chowder often runs out by 5PM or so we were told. You've been warned! Also did I mention, clearly not yet, but the $5 old fashioneds - giant sized. One of the owners, Sue greeted us. She was so friendly, as were the rest of staff. Check out the local joints... when you do you'll find joints like Tuesday's.

I had the basic burger (no cheese) and asked for sauted onions which they accommodated. The burger also came with lettuce and tomato if you desired (and pickle which I would never). I chose the crinkle fries as my side but batter fried fries, onion rings and tots were also available. The bartender was the cook and she did a great job. Perfect quick stop.
