Was treated very rudely by staff. Made the simple mistake of cashing out on the slot machine. The screen showed how much I put in and how much I was owed but no ticket came out. I was then YELLED at that I should have read the sign not to hit the ticket button and that I would not be getting my money. Our whole group left feeling disrespected by the manager and the older female bartender. Apparently saving themselves 60 bucks is more important than providing a positive customer experience. Just sad. read more

Best walleye fish fry, highly recommend! Very friendly owners & staff. Will definitely be back!

We visited Scenic Drive Resort on Tuesday night for their famous Rib Night. As to be expected, it was packed! We started out by having drinks at the bar and ordered a few appetizers. Once a table opened up we moved to the table and our appetizers arrived. We had the breaded green beans and fried cauliflower. Both delicious and if you haven't tried green beans this way, I highly recommend them. On to the ribs! We have been coming for years and every time I say, they just keep getting better! This is a family owned and operated business where both the husband and wife are busy in the kitchen and behind the bar. Their adult kids and local other friends work there too. All making for a very friendly and enjoyable evening. read more

I come to Northern Wisconsin every summer for the experience of the lakes , the weather, the wildlife and for sure a couple of trips to Scenic Drive Resort. The greatest burgers and chicken wings and ribs are just some of the delights I have sampled from the menu. Every time I consume their food I am struct by the consistent quality, attention to service and expedience. That Terry is certainly a real chief in the kitchen and Wife Patty is friendly And knows how to treat the customers. Terry always takes the time to do quality control and pays attention to detail. I like that. I have eaten in some of the best restaurants in the country, they're really wonderful but it is nice to receive that homey feeling and recognition whenever I walk through the door. It's has that "Cheers" environment and warm feeling that can only exist when ownership is as good as the food. GREAT job goes out to ownership and Staff. I'll be back time and time again, why? Because the experience is always the same, Fantastic ! ! Dana Z. Las Vegas NV read more

This place is like stumbling upon a hidden northwoods gem. It's tucked away at the end of a long driveway (1/2 mile?) and you drive through a forest then by a bunch of rustic cabins to get there, then see the restaurant/tavern sitting on the edge of a picturesque lake. Inside everything is knotty pine--walls, tables and big horseshoe bar, with giant picture windows overlooking the lake. The atmosphere is festive, busy and friendly, and definitely has a family feel to it. If you didn't know the people sitting next to you at the bar or adjacent dinner table when you walked in, you will by the time you leave. We were there on Tuesday "Rib Night" and had Terry's award winning ribs. I consider myself an expert when it comes to great ribs, and these are certainly some of the best I've ever had. It comes with homemade coleslaw, watermelon, garlic bread and a pickle as the perfect accents. I'm from Chicago and, although the service here on a super busy night can be a tad slower than what I'm accustomed to, the wait is typical "northwoods" and I wouldn't want it any other way. After all, you need that extra time to meet and gab away with all of the friendly locals who are your best friends by the time you leave. read more

I visited Scenic Drive Resort for the 1st time last night for the Tuesday night rib dinner. Breathtaking was the drive to get to the resort from Iron River, and the property was beautiful. My dining experience; however, was quite disappointing. I ordered the jalapeño cheese curds appetizer and after a wait of about 30 mins informed our waiter that we hadn't yet received our appetizer order. Another 15 mins and informing our waiter again, yielded nothing but "it's on its way". 10-15 mins later our supper arrived, and the cheese curds were placed on the table at same time. My ribs were charred and quite small and should not have been served to a customer. I did inform the owner who was working the floor of my dissatisfaction concerning both the appetizer issue and charred ribs. She seemed condescending, but did rectify the rib issue and had another order brought to me. Overall, an unpleasant dining experience. read more
