    Shuffleboard!
    Christopher V.

    Another one of our every trip stops! Service is always good, food and drinks are spot on. Make sure you bring some cash to stick to the ceiling! Don't forget about the shuffleboard as well. Good place to take a break from shopping.

    The Birthday Boy -- Raff
    Paul F H.

    One by one I'm finally making it to places in the area that I've not visited yet. Last week a civic group my wife belongs to scheduled a meeting at T Murtaugh's so we decided to stick around for dinner (and to celebrate a birthday) after the meeting was over. It was't busy so I grabbed a booth and ordered a beer while the meeting continued at another table. The number of tap beer selections was rather paltry and generic, especially considering the popularity of local and regional craft beer these days. Only one struck my fancy -- and it turns out it wasn't very good -- but that is on the brewery, not the bar. On the other hand, the beer glass was a tad sticky. I don't know if they sloshed some beer over the rim while pouring it or if it wasn't washed real well, but either way it didn't create a good first impression. In fact, now that I think back on it, the tables and banquettes were kind of grimy and tacky too. The first table I looked at was dirty enough that I selected another. The Eatery offers a standard selection of appetizers and a wide variety of burgers, sandwiches and wraps including a few meatless/vegetarian options (not clearly vegan though -- I suspect vegans will have to ask the kitchen ask to hold ingredients like cheese and mayo). Fish sandwiches are listed as a meatless option -- not exactly accurate in my opinion. We started with an order of fried cheese curds because our exchange student from Indonesia had never tasted them and wanted to try them. Though he now knows how they taste -- in a general sense -- unfortunately they were bulk frozen food nuggets and not the best quality. For our entrees, I ordered the "famous" Reuben with fries, my wife selected the Gyros, and our student went with a steak sandwich. I found the Reuben to be pretty well constructed with ample amounts and an appropriate balance of corned beef, sauerkraut, melted cheese and dressing. The seasoning and flavor were spot on. You probably won't find a better Reuben anywhere else in the north woods. The others enjoyed their sandwiches too. However, I believe all our sandwiches were made with bulk, processed foods from the local restaurant supplier. Though the taste is OK and they'll fill you up, the sandwiches we ordered -- and the Reuben in particular -- fall far short of the quality you'd expect from an authentic Jewish deli or Greek restaurant in New York City or Chicago. That said, I'll probably head back to T Murtaugh's Pub and Eatery the next time I get a hankering for a Reuben in Minocqua.

    The bar area and ceiling
    Sara M.

    A very interesting bar/restaurant that is downtown Minocqua. Upon walking in, I noticed that this is not a handicap-accessible bar. There is a very large step up, that was somewhat difficult for my grandma to maneuver. The décor is somewhat outdated and there are dollar bills stapled into the ceiling, which was interesting to look at. There is a dining room separate from the bar, that doesn't have high-top chairs. For starters we ordered the onion rings, which were a big hit by all of us. They were fried to perfection and the ranch dipping sauce was a good compliment. I ordered a buffalo chicken wrap and it was VERY good. The fries were also very appetizing. My sister loved that they had a section of their menu that consisted of meatless choices, since most places Up North rarely have that. Overall, its an outdated, but still very good bar, the service was above average, the food was decent for a bar Up North, and looking around at all the dollar bills on the ceiling was entertaining. I would recommend!

    Sweet Alcoholic beverage. I asked the bartender if she could surprise me with something sweet and this tastes amazing, I LOVE IT!

    We found this place by chance and so walked in without reservations. They initially turned us away…read morebut with further discussion and a few cocktails at the bar eventually made room to accommodate us. As with many cases this season they were very short staffed and trying to offer good service to those that had made reservations. Our server had several tables including one of 16 people. I can't believe how good the service ended up being with Karen our waitress. As a seasoned vet in this Industry she was on top of everything. Additionally the food was Breyer than I had hoped for. We all started with the salad bar which was clean and organized. They did end up running out of ranch dressing which was a disappointment but that was the only thing that fell short the entire evening. After the salads the four of us has the French onion soup which was better than most I've had. This was followed by our main course. Two of us has the 10 oz. Fillets, on had the 16oz ribeye and lastly one liver and onions. All the steaks were fabulous and the liver was also good from what I hear. There was no rushing, Karen our server timed out servings perfectly and the evening turned out spectacular. A big kudos to the Manager for getting us in. This will be a part of our rotation moving forward. Don't forget to make reservations!

    First off, this was one of the best restaurants in Rhinelander back in the day. One of my mother's…read moreand my favorite years ago. I recently moved back to Rhinelander and had to check it out again. The place looks the same which I love. Our waitress was nice and attentive. We waited for over an hour for our food and there were only about 10 customers. I had the salmon with risotto. The end of it was fishy tasting and the risotto was mushy. The other two at my table ordered their alfredo. They liked theirs, but when I looked at it, I wouldn't have liked the spiral noodle they used. I felt they were overpriced too.

    This review is long overdue for Angler's. As a true foodie, who worked for a food manufacturing…read morecompany, who eats out almost 5x a week, and at many of Chicago's best restaurants for 40+ years, I believe I bring an experienced perspective on the quality Angler's provides. Furthermore, as a life-long vacationer/ owner in the Northwoods, I'm very familiar with almost every restaurant in the area. So here goes. ANGLER'S IS THE BEST RESTAURANT IN THE NORTHWOODS. Here are the top must tries and overview. 1. Best speciality soup offerings in the Northwoods (and Chicago!!!). You will not have a more flavorful experience. Not kidding--best ever. Seafood Gumbo is the daily delight, but return often for the different daily variations. The only disappointment I've ever had was a Tomato Bisque. Don't get me wrong, it's good, but just not SPECIAL like the others. 2. Best burger in the Northwoods. I've learned the keys to their taste are two-fold. Their proprietary seasoning is just remarkable--a huge difference maker. Secondly, they only buy premium meat, which makes their burgers (and other items) exceptionally tasty and tender. Together, they will make your mouth water. Again, from vast experience, none better in the Northwoods. And that says a lot considering every establishment offers one... but only Angler's has this catch of the day...everyday. 3. Steak Sandwich. With cheese, onions and mushrooms, it is as tender and flavorful as any I've ever experienced. Why? As referenced earlier, the premium cuts of the most tender (cut it with a fork) meat and seasoning will turn your mouth into a sea of flavor. Of course, this applies to any steaks, chicken, fish and other meals they serve as well. Definitely, no "bland meals" served here. 4. Like a salad? Get it made with any protein added and you will be wonderfully shocked. Homemade dressings are fabulous (blue cheese is exceptional). My wife is picky, and even she says they are one of the best she has ever had! 5. Pizza. Good pizza is hard to find up in the Northwoods, yet, Angler's has a hidden gem here--"Angler's Special". Simply said, compared to Chicago pizza, forgetaboutit! Their Special is killer! While I'm usually a cheese and sausage guy, order the Special. It's, well, to die for! Main dinner meals? Mouth-wateringly good. No throwaways here. All meals make your taste buds dance--no swings and misses. Co-owner Chef Paul and his well-trained Sous Chef are truly artists in the kitchen. Serving large portions, you can't make a bad decision off their menu. What's it like to eat inside there? Well, it's positioned as "a restaurant...not a bar". And, in all aspects, that's true. With a warm, quiet, cabin-like, atmosphere overlooking beautiful Vance Lake, it delivers a wonderfully relaxing Northwoods experience, but never 'bar food'. Additionally, it's combined with a new outside dining area with large screen tvs and live music often. Located on the bike trail, ride on over and grab a table or saddle up to their beautiful bar. Either way, it's a fun, lively time. With any great restaurant, service is key and Angler's over-delivers. Talented, uber-friendly (and kinda sassy in a good way) servers combined with a fun co-owner behind the bar serving perfectly proportioned drinks adds to the dining pleasure. And guess what? Angler's offers all of this at a fair price, too. What a concept! Downsides? Only two. It needs a sundae added to their wonderful dessert options. In Wisconsin, where dairy is so good, just add it. Nothing creamier than Wisconsin ice cream! Secondly, there is a select menu of wonderful faire for outside dining. Currently only available inside, customers would benefit from having Angler's fantastic soup options included on the outside menu. Just a thought...but a tasty idea. NOTE: While other places are given 5-star reviews like candy by, respectfully, less experienced diners/reviewers, trust me--this place actually is number 1. As a true foodie with 40+ years of daily dining at many of the finest restaurants in Chicago, and almost all of the "top" restaurants in the Northwoods over my lifelong experience coming up here, Angler's is simply he best. If you want a restaurant that will consistently tickle your tummy and bring a smile to your face, catch what Angler's is cooking up today. (Reservations are required for dinner.) Bon appetite!
