Black market curried roasted vegetables ($20+$6 for tofu), vegan by default. Not bad.
Kedar D.

The Fat Radish, located inside a house in Cornucopia, Wisconsin, is a fabulous spot to get a vegan meal in the Bayfield-Ashland area. They label all their vegan options and even have vegan baked goods. We sat outside on one of their two patios and had a lentil loaf ($20) which was a savory, old-school style of vegetarian/vegan cooking you don't see often anymore (it reminded me of the classic Moosewood in Ithaca, NY). We liked it. The side of french fries ($4) weren't crispy enough, so these felt more like mashed potatoes once you started eating them. The black market curried roasted vegetables ($20 + $6 for tofu) is vegan by default and tasted fine. Lastly, we liked the vegan, gluten-free oatmeal cookie ($3). Stop by the Fat Radish for a nice meal after a day of hiking to see the sea caves of Lake Superior.

The service was awful. I am all for (and understand) when good food takes time. I think it's completely different when you are avoided or made to feel bad when asking for things like silverware, napkins or water. When entering, a sign asks that you wait to be seated. I watched 2 servers walk around the dining room multiple times without making eye contact with our group or the steady stream of people behind us. Wasn't even too busy as evidenced by one of the servers going back to sit behind the counter. When we were seated, we were told we could sit wherever we want. Why even put out the sign? Took a while to get water. We were able to order within about 10-15 minutes but didn't get silverware until after our food was served and we had to ask for it. No chit chat until the end of the meal which just seemed a little too late. They almost seemed annoyed that we were there. Another 10 minutes after we were done before we got the bill and could close it out. I liked my grilled cheese with the soups of the day but my companion was not a fan of their meal - mufaletta sandwich. Would have preferred the mac and cheese probably or maybe some of the creative deli salad options. All in all, it has potential but I would only recommend if you have time to kill and if you don't care about human interaction.

Grilled cheese and BLT!

Went for lunch in the new location in Washburn. Pleasantly surprised. Food came fast and was really good! I had the grilled cheese and soup and the wife had the BLT. Best BLT and grilled cheese I've ever had.

***they have a lot of vegan AND vegetarian options*** Second day driving into Bayfield for a meal and a lot of people raved about this place. We got here at about noon and barely anybody in and within about 20 minutes every table was full. I was in a party of 8 people with one "child" ( she just usually eats off the kids meal) We got A few appetizers then ordered and I know the sign says they support the slow food movement, but just to let people know it took about 25 minutes for everyone to get their food. We have three of the cuban bowls, fish tacos, quiona balls, Mac n cheese, the nachos, and the chicken fingers from the kids menu. I got the cuban bowl without guac or pico and it was good but if I was on my own I wouldn't have paid for it because it was $15 for not that much food. Like A 1/4 of the bowl was meat 1/4 of black beans and then a bed of the rice and a crap ton the veggies all over. It was alright and I know the restaurant selection is few here, but I don't think it was as good as people made it out to be.

My girlfriend and I came for a quick dinner on our way to our destination, and we were so happy to see they wonderful locally sourced menu, the super sweet server and the amazing food!! Thank you Patricia for the wonderful service, and thank you Fat Radish for a wonderful meal. It was cute, cozy and just delightful! Highly recommend!!

New ramp-wheelchair accessible

Old spot (was the Village Inn), now totally redone into a vibrant new spot here in Corny! Just the interior work makes this restaurant/bar worth a stop..lots of air and light. But don't forget to try the food! The whitefish was sooo good, as well as the delicious/spicy curry bowl. Most of the offerings are locally sourced (Stella Artois isn't exactly local). Just recently reopened as The Fat Radish, I suspect that the taps will reflect a more local flavor. So slow down, stop by and try this new experience!

Curried cauliflower
Julianne C.

We had a reservation but were in the area a little earlier than expected and they seated us early on the patio. We got the curried cauliflower as an appetizer, which was very tasty, but the portion was a little small. My husband ordered the ribs, which were amazing and probably the highlight of the meal. The fish tacos were decent but nothing exciting. The service was a little slow, but they were noticeably short staffed.

Pickled Shrimp!! Very good!
Matt F.

Great place to eat. Food was fantastic. The only reason I'm giving 4 is the attitude we got when we didn't have reservations. It was a Wednesday night. They were closed on Tuesday and we stayed just down the street. Anyway, the food was great and the atmosphere was nice!

This is our must visit list number one on our annual fall trip to the South Shore of Lake Superior…read more Each year we find that the menu has been refined and improved upon. This year we had the cheese curds and Poncho's Bourbon Bacon Burger; a smash burger with two huge pieces of properly fried bacon, maple bacon jam on a ciabatta bun. Husband had the fried onion strings, and I had the french fries, which were new. They were long thin slices of potatoes, not quite a potato chip not quite a french fry. Absolutely delicious the middle part of it was more like a french fry, and the edges like a potato chip hard to describe, absolutely try them. The fried onion strings are fantastic as well. Delicious delicious delicious. We ate everything. But let's talk about the cheese curds. Generally not a fan, but I'm in Wisconsin, heck I may as well try it. They were cubes of Wisconsin white cheddar coated in some kind of batter and deep fried. They came with a ranch dip. We devoured them all immediately. Absolutely delicious go there for the cheese curds if nothing else. I think this is the best place in town between Herbster and Cornucopia places to eat. I quizzed the staff about the owners and it is a family. I asked about how they decide the menu items and he said that they get together as a group and try new things. It's clearly working. Don't miss this place. PS it's nice, rustic and comfortable but clean.

We came here pretty late after an all day kayak tour and some hikes, and the food/service were…read morefantastic! My husband tried the whitefish livers, and they were delicious! I had some onion rings (the best I've ever had!) and some fried whitefish (also delicious!). It was such a nice experience and it's family-owned too!

We went here for the first time and definitely will return again…read more Good food. I had the typical Friday fish fry, which included a baked potato. I get tired of French fries and the baked potato was an excellent change up. The tasty white fish was a good size filet. The coleslaw was a light vinegar style. Even the roll was good. My wife had the lamb stew and that was fabulous. I was able to snatch a couple bites, but she loved it and finished this hearty dish. Good old fashions. We split a pumpkin cake. Sarah was our server and did a fantastic job. Very delightful. You can tell she likes working there which is always a bonus for the atmosphere if the staff enjoys it. We ate at a table in the bar. Very upnorth Wisconsin vibe. The Herbster beach is just down the street. Great apres-dinner walk. A gem of a restaurant. Worth the 35 minute drive. Save me a table.

Community favorite restaurant and meeting place, easy to find right on the corner of the main drag…read more Inside there are several eating areas plus deck seating however we're always here during cooler weather so we don't sit outside. Small town bar interior, limited menu in comparison to competition down the road but they had a poster on the door advertising a street dance and Oktoberfest event that they were hosting on the corner the weekend of the 10th. Service was excellent, I suspect we were being waited on by the owner. We had the daily specials. Husband had the chicken pot pie, which he said was like thick chicken soup with a puff pastry on top, I had the breaded pork tenderloin cutlet sandwich, which was not good. People at the table next to us were complaining about their hamburgers. So choose carefully. And ask questions but definitely give them a try. Locals are very loyal. They are only open Thursday through Sunday, we are usually gone by Thursday so last year we could not eat here as they were closed.

Where to start? We walked in to what seemed to be a very empty restaurant. We were told on a Monday…read morenight that It'll be a 20 minute wait. 45 minutes later, they tell us it's going to be another 5 minutes & about 15 minutes later, we were finally seated. We were not in a rush, but the service was so slow. It really makes me wonder how they do when the place is actually busy! Well, we all wanted different fish and or seafood and we were told that they were very busy from the fish fry from Friday that they had no fish at all. Meaning any meal that contained seafood, they didn't have. (we asked a lot of questions and it seemed any seafood was out) That's about 80% of the menu. Our server gave off a vibe that she didn't care whether or not we were there and I'm guessing that this is probably her first job? We all ordered soup and after sitting at our table for a good 15-20 minutes, I had to approach her at the bar and asked to see if we can get the soup prior to our meal being served. Her reaction gave me the impression she totally forgot we also ordered soup. After we were given our food, we were maybe halfway done eating when she started to bring all of our dessert to the table. So we are finishing up our meal while our dessert was sitting right next to us. (we ordered the dessert because they were out of everything else and we were afraid that if we didn't order it with our meal, we would have nothing). Won't be back.

I don't usually leave reviews but i was just so disappointed in the food despite there being kind…read moreemployees and good drinks. Beautiful website that does not reflect either the ambiance or the meal. My husband enjoyed his old fashioneds, but the food was not good at all. Seemed to be previously frozen, lacked flavor, and just all around not thoughtful. They missed a good opportunity to leverage local items like wild rice and other local seasonal produce. Stop in for drinks and have your meal elsewhere!
