You can have your chicken grilled or fried and I chose grilled. It comes with a warmed breadstick. All the ingredients were fresh. It was a nice lighter meal and a good portion size. We ended the meal with the chocolate lava cake with ice cream. It was quite tasty and presented well. Very pretty. Our server was amazing. She was so efficient and every request was done with urgency. So much energy. All the staff were welcoming. One gentleman had his water glass slip off the table and everyone came to help clean it up quickly. So thankful the Copper Nickel is open on Tue as so many other restaurants are often closed Mon and Tue in the area.

As I know it, one of the primary ingredients of a Caesar Salad is anchovies; yet I had to pay $3.00 extra to get 4 or 5 uncut strips. Not a deal breaker, but at the price of the salad, I don't think it was a necessary charge. In spite of that, if I find myself in Ely again, I will dine there again.

Food order included the bison burger with sweet potato fries and a steak southwest bowl with a spicy ranch dressing. The steak was cooked to perfection and the bowl was delicious! We've never been disappointed here. We will be back!

STAY Away! I know…read morewhen I read reviews, it's helpful to have lengthy descriptions of the food and atmosphere. But I'm just not willing to spend more time typing than the cooks spent cooking my food. We tried this place twice -- once for dinner and again for the breakfast buffet. Both instances, the food was barely tolerable and my entire family walked away hungry rather than continuing to eat what we ordered. The Tamarack is inexpensive but I suspect its the only way they can get people to eat there. I'm not a snooty eater -- I love Waffle House and iHop for breakfasts but even the Tamarack was able to make breakfast food unpleasant (pancakes were crusty, ham was fatty, oatmeal was nearly solid, fruit was from a can, etc. etc. Do yourself a favor and avoid. On the second day we managed to find the Vermilion Club for dinner and SuLus in Tower for breakfast...both a welcome change from the Tamarack

We ate both the breakfast and dinner buffet at this casino restaurant. The service was excellent…read more The omelet cook made one of the tastiest custom omelets we ever have had. All the entrees in the buffet were fresh, hot, and quite tasty. Only the bacon was overcooked, but a lot of people like it that way so it probably is not an issue. We thoroughly enjoyed it. Compared to the crappy expensive breakfast we had the day before at another local restaurant, for $5.95 this was a huge value! Compare that to your average mediocre-at-best chain restaurants. The dinner also was very nice with a large variety of fish, seafood, ribs, steak, chicken, etc. Everything we tried was very good including the fresh green beans. The salmon was excellent as was the catfish, the ribs were very good, the seafood was fried but of a good quality, the steak was surprisingly good, and the deserts were very very good. Nothing bad to say at all about this buffet for $11.95. The casino is just a typical smokey casino as you would find anywhere in the country.

My husband and I played this course and loved it. We were paired with two locals who were wonderful…read moreto play with and knowledgeable about each hole. The course had received much rain over a week and we were on a car-path-only cart scenario which definitely slowed down our round times. The course was beautiful. As a golfer who tees off from the forward tees, it was quite a long course. With the extra water on the course and getting no roll, it was even longer. Despite the challenges, the holes were beautiful and fun to play. Every staff person we met made us feel welcome and were helpful as we were first time players. Carts had screens to indicate yardage. They also had messaging such that if you left a club on a hole, you could text a ranger and they would retrieve it for you. Really great experience.

Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous. I do have one complaint though-…read morethe lady in the shop asked me what brand of clubs I want to rent and I selected from her options. Then she came out and said they didn't have what I wanted so I got whatever they had. And to top that off, she set me up with a left handed set and I didn't realize it until we were already out on the driving range. So of course I had to go all the way back. Waste of my warmup time. Otherwise- the course was well marked and well maintained and freakin fun!!! I was annoyed at the back 9 that some guy and his kids jumped in front of us while we were getting refreshments. However- I found out that they were in front of the group in front of us, and they let that group play through. The bar had a boozy iced coffee that we shared. It was good! The pro shop was keen to let us know that we could contact them at any time through the screen chat on our golf cart. Yeah, I tried that, and it didn't work. Stupid function. One of their bathrooms is more like septic? But that warned me in advance so I just waited til the end of the front 9 to use the one in the clubhouse. For whatever reason, the clubhouse was only serving food off the grill. The main restaurant was closed?!?! We were sad about that because my in laws were supposed to meet us after our round, for lunch there. So we called them and cancelled that plan. Other than a great day at golf, I will compliment them on a couple things- there is an attendant in the parking lot that brought a golf cart right to us, which was awesome. But we didn't need it. We didn't have our own clubs, we were renting. But still, that was very nice. Also, the shop was well stocked! I found two shirts that fit my husband and we bought both, along with a hat for him. He was so pleased. Usually the shirt sizes are way too big and loose on him. They had a fitting room there that he used and I brought him at least 10 shirts to try. The course was littered with deer and lovely flowers. It was so pretty. The carts have a nice gps function and on some holes, show you where carts ahead of you are, if there is a blind spot. The greens fees and cart fee and rentals are expensive. But it was definitely worth the experience. I just wished for better rentals, more time in the practice area and a fully functioning restaurant. But we may be back next year.

Please choose an establishment that doesn't respond to negative reviews in this way! ] My partner and I (locals) brought my in-laws from Texas here and had a bizarre experience. We wanted to show them our favorite Friday fish fry and unfortunately, one of the items (steak kebab) came out overdone. We politely let our waitress know and she brought out the owner, Fitz. Fitz asked MIL to cut the steak for him multiple times and argued that it was perfect since his wife cuts the meat every morning. Frustrated with how MIL was being treated, my partner asked Fitz to get her fish instead and be done with it. After a bit of back and forth and raised voices on both sides, my partner apologized and began explaining his protectiveness by telling him that MIL is currently going through chemotherapy. Instead of de-escalating the situation, Fitz leaned over the table and sneered, "I'm sorry you have cancer, I had cancer too!" at MIL. After that comment, my partner got up and left. Fitz followed him outside and from my view, jumped into a fighting stance and raised his fists at my partner. We walked away after that. Such a disappointing and most importantly, embarassing experience to have with visitors. Just stick to Whistling Bird if you're in town.
