It's larger than it looks from the outside with a nice open concept with a u-shaped bar. Significant amount of seating off of the bar as well; both high and low tops. Plenty of TVs always tuned to whatever game might be on, as well as the sound on which I appreciate. We've eaten here a couple of times and been happy with the food. Came here for fish fry on a Friday night and it was packed by 5p. They have a few different options for fish that you can have broiled or fried, along with a variety of potato options. I especially enjoyed the red potatoes. Plentiful portions for the price and the food came out hot and fairly quick. Parking lot is large enough to accommodate the crowds and their sign says they have live music/entertainment every Sunday afternoon/evening. Jukebox, pool table, darts and clean bathrooms.

I should have gotten the fries. the fish fry was good and flaky. the atmosphere was what you'd expect for a town of only a few thousand. Kitchen open until 9 or 10ish. Recommended :)

I've been frequenting Timbers every Friday for their fish fry for the last 8+ years or so. To me,…read morethey have the best fish fry in the north woods by far, and it proves that you don't have to go to a fancy supper club to get good eats. The ambiance is a typical north woods bar, you can either eat at the bar or sit at one of the tables in their 'dining room' which houses the slot machines, dart board, and a few other games for kids. They have a wide selection of brews on tap, and have a full bar. The thing that I really love about this place is that everyone who works here is extremely nice. You can tell they love what they do, they're proud of where they live, and they have great senses of humor. Just overall great conversationalists. Now to the food, my favorite part: For appetizers, you HAVE to try their jalapeño poppers. They're the best poppers I've ever had. I believe they are coated in potato breading and they have an awesome zing to them. Never had a popper like it and I'll always compare others to the ones at Timbers. For lunch/dinner, their hamburgers are incredible as well. Super juicy smash burgers on a fluffy bun with the best French fries in the world. A perfect pick me up during snowmobile season or on a nice summer day. On Friday, this is THE spot for fish fry. My family and I have tried so many fish fry places over the year trying to find our favorite, and each time we stray we always leave disappointed wishing we would've just got Timbers instead. To me, what makes their fish fry so great is their portions are extremely generous, you get 4 pieces of fish, a handful of fries, two slices of buttered rye bread, coleslaw, tartar sauce, and a lemon wedge. The way their fish is prepared and battered is my favorite. It doesn't have that super thick, almost pancake batter like breading that tastes like a corn dog. Instead it's very lightly breaded so that it's fish forward with a nice crunch. This is just my preference, but to me, it's the best fish fry I've ever had. I genuinely love this place so much, but I must say that it's obviously super crowded and loud during the tourist seasons. If that bothers you, you can always call in a takeout order so don't like that deter you from checking this place out!

Then a few minutes later she came and took our order for our food. Everything was fast at first, but it took forever to get the food. It took hours. Then when I asked for a refill the waitress brought it but then spilled it on my chair and it dripped down and got on me. I totally understand that accidents happen, but she could have at least apologized or helped me clean it up. The food was fine, it wasn't horrible, but nothing special. Someone in my family had a meal that came with fries. I tried a couple and they were super mushy and definitely not fresh. Overall it was a fine experience, but they do have a really good salad bar with plenty of options.

I bow to his observation and will modify my statement to read that it is the consensus of SEVERAL locals that this is the best fish fry in town!) It's not often that a restaurant that is a part of a hotel gets rave reviews, and in many of the hostelries I've stayed in over the years, the restaurant was an afterthought. Not here! The restaurant is quite popular with residents of Rhinelander along with the hotel guests. I've been at The Claridge Inn (The Days Inn these days) on Fridays, and at the recommendation of relatives, I've always had the fish fry. They also offer baked haddock, one of my fellow diners ordered the haddock. She reported the dish was excellent. My beer battered cod was also excellent, a crispy shell with cod of a perfect consistency. The meal is offered with french fries, I opted to spend an extra dollar to substitute potato pancakes. The potato pancakes were also exceptional. Rhinelander has a number of really good restaurants, the Claridge is most certainly one of them.
