The pizza sauce, toppings, and crust were very good; however, I wasn't a fan of the cheese they use. It is very gooey/wet with barely any texture.

My husband said it's not a legit breakfast spot if country fried steak wasn't on the menu. Since Manypenny Bistro had this on the menu, we stopped in on our commute home to Minnesota. We both enjoyed ourselves. Things we loved: seat yourself, friendly and engaging staff, large dog friendly patio, crispy hash browns, homemade raspberry jam, cranberry toast, large portions, cabin style lodging, robust menu, hot coffee and clean atmosphere. My husband (of course) had the country fried steak while I had an omelette with breakfast potatoes. We both had coffee and great conversation. Highly recommend!! Cozy environment.

I came here for a fish fry just after Memorial Day and the outdoor seating weather was perfect for my pup. The patio overlooks Lake Superior, with a few buildings across the street blocking a bit of the view. It's a nice downtown spot so there are plenty of people out and about walking by the patio. I typically prefer a traditional Old Fashioned, but when in super northern Wisconsin, do as they do. I got a Wisconsin Old Fashioned and it was great. I even ordered a second one! The veggie dumpling soup was beyond my expectations -- I would have just eaten a bunch of bowls of that all night if I hadn't been set on fish fry. I got the Lake Superior Whitefish fry (Lake Superior was right across the street, how could I not?), which was just ok. The sides were great - french fries and green beans are a Wisconsin match made in heaven. The fish was alright, a bit fishier than I'm used to but that just might be a Lake Superior whitefish thing? Still, I found about 6 bones in the fish fry and I've never had that issue at a restaurant fish fry before. I usually give a few bites to my dog but was nervous on this one. So, overall a great experience and a fun place to stop by. I'd recommend checking them out.

I wish I remembered the name of our server because she was so attentive while practically running the front of house by herself, I wish I could give her a specific shout out. The restaurant itself is a classic small town tavern with the dark wood bar, comfy booths, and a gorgeous painted tin ceiling. The food was also pretty good - the cheese curds are a MUST get. The rest of the food was slightly too salty and the fish was just a tad dry but the tartar sauce and coleslaw were both to die for and the fries were fantastic. Overall we enjoyed our time here and would definitely go back.

The shop was chic with detailed white ceilings, wooden accents, beautiful pants, and festive decor. There was plenty of indoor seating and even a sofa area with a small selection of books. The staff were friendly. I ordered a mocha and a cinnamon streusel coffee cake. I was disappointed that my cake wasn't warmed at all but I got my order within 3 minutes of ordering. The quality of the beans is clearly there, and the drinks are thoughtfully prepared. That said, it didn't quite live up to the hype for me. Overall, it's a decent coffee shop, just not a place I'd go out of my way for. If you're in town, Wonderstate Coffee is worth trying.

The afternoon we were there, it was extraordinarily blustery outside, with dirt being whipped around town as their major through road area was under construction. We parked our vehicle and walked a block or two to Coco, where we got a hot beverage to sip on while enjoying the hot blueberry turnover that had just come out of their oven. It was sooo delicious! Flaky pastry folded over generous, intensely-flavored blueberry filling. The experience brought me right back to childhood memories of eating the frozen ones made by Pepperidge Farms that you baked in the oven at home. It was the rare occasion that my mom bought a box or two of them (there were 4 per box, and there were 5 members in my family), most likely, when they were "on sale" at a local grocer. The decor inside the place was very colorful, quirky, funny, awesome! Will make it a point to visit this place again when I'm in the area!

After waiting in line for 20 minutes, we were only then told that hot food would take nearly an hour. That's something the line should be updated on every few minutes so people can decide whether to wait or not. The staff were very kind and efficient, and the girls with intolerances were happy to see such a large variety of options. They definitely need a bigger space to handle weekend rushes, but I get it, small town charm. The food and drinks we had were pretty good and overall fine, aside from the wait and the last minute news about the hot food. Would recommend for the people with intolerances but keep in mind it might take a while!

This is a small, cute vintage place. I love the bar. Both of us had omelets, husband had a cheese omelet with a side of sausage patties and I had the veggie omelet with cheese and an English muffin. Breakfast was good (4 staras) and service was extremely friendly and fast and very affordable. My husband left his down vest and his sunglasses there and the owners made a special effort to come in the next day when they were closed so we could come by to pick it up so an extra star for friendly helpful problem solving.

With the fish fry you select your choice of 3 sides - baked potato, garlic mashed potatoes, fries, vegetable of the day, salad, or coleslaw. Between the two of us we opted for salads, garlic mashed potatoes, coleslaw, and vegetable of the day -- we loved it all! The first serving of fish with your sides is generous and comes with lemon wedges and tarter sauce. The fish breading is unlike anything I've tasted before! It was light, crispy, and seasoned just right! It reminded me of the breading on Culver's chicken tenders. Only thing missing was a piece of rye bread! But I definitely recommend a visit here for their fish fry!
