But SO many options for beers and wines. One's I've never seen before and was really nice to tap into the smaller breweries throughout the tru state area. The fact that this company also derives their beef from a local family is also something I sit VERY well with. This company's mission truly supports other small businesses within this community. I only gave four stars based on our lack of service, but it was SUPER busy and it's hard to not be understanding of that. So aside from a little bit of lack of info at first, once we could chat with our waitress she told the company story and I was in awe.

Five stars all the way. We paddled up from the other side of the lake and tied our boards up to the…read moredock. When we first walked up, it was clearly a dive and we were wondering if we would feel unwelcome because we are not locals. Absolutely not the case! Steve got us drinks and Kevin, the owner, chatted us up and made us feel like regulars. His mom was there watching a soap opera with some friends and she shared some delicious homemade cake with us. Kevin dropped $5 in the juke box for us to listen to some songs and made us The Best Pizza! Cheeseburger with extra pickles. There is a reason it has won awards! We are the whole thing! The bar area has a fantastic lakefront view but the outside is awesome too. There is a stage area for a band and plenty of outdoor seating if you want to keep your distance from others but still enjoy getting out and about. When COVID-19 goes away, this would be a perfect place to get back to normal!

This place is a glorified dumping yard- should've left right when I saw the camping chairs in the backyard and all 50 ashtrays. The locals all gave us dirty looks upon arriving, aliens as we were, including the bartender (who also unfortunately made our pizzas too). Speaking of pizzas, I mean y'all... seriously??? Good pizza?? Ive had better pizza from a gas station in a pinch. I'm pretty sure there was no fresh ingredients on it, even had canned mushrooms. I wouldn't have even bothered writing this, if it weren't for the fact that I paid severely for this mistake all night and into the next day with trips to the bathroom, thanks Hoots.

Not only did they have an amazing menu, but they had several specials on their board next to the front door on the wall. I ordered the taco salad and it was a huge salad, very fresh and came with salsa and taco sauce. My husband ordered wings, they were breaded and cooked to perfection, they came with awesome fries, coleslaw and a roll that melted in his mouth. He commented "now this is how wings and coleslaw are supposed to taste like"! Very clean and cozy! Prices are normal, not out of control like a lot of places we frequent in Hayward WI=ridiculous high prices! Stop if you're in the area, you will love this little spot!
