The food at this restaurant was great! The service is phenomenal!…read more The pasty my wife had was amazing! The serving was huge and more than she could eat, but the flavor was so good she almost ate herself sick! The French Dip was excellent! Not the traditional thinly sliced beef that dehydrates when cooked, but rather meat that was closer to pot roast was used so it was moist and tender! The Turkey Melt my daughter had was really good! She asked them to make it with Mozzarella instead of cheddar and they accommodated her request with a great sandwich. The atmosphere was homey and welcoming and the staff was perfectly attentive and incredibly nice! If you find yourself in this part of the UP, you have to visit!

Friendly and authentic. Great homemade pasties! Conveniently located at the corner in town.read more

I was with my girlfriend & her family for a weekend getaway. Being from the Milwaukee area, we…read morewanted a Fish Fry on a Friday night dinner. This place was highly recommended so we went. Entering, the place is large & can easily accommodate groups of 6 to 8 people bc even for a Friday with it being busy there are more seats than you'd expect. I got the Cajun Cod with Sweet Potato fries. I didn't want beer battered so it was great to find a place that offers grilled, Cajun grilled, or Beer Battered for all fish fry's. The pieces were quality good size for a grilled cod, 3 quality sizes. Plus comes with good portion of side sweet potato fries for $1 extra. My girlfriend got the Fried Perch which was two massive pieces. Most of the table got a side salad instead of another side. Food was probably a 4 to 4.5 star. Not jaw dropping but not just basic at all. Negatives: Need a drink menu. I am not going to order a beer if you aren't going to give me what is offered. Simple as that. They brought a small pitcher of water (no more than 1.5L) for a table of 6. Water was room temperature & no ice at all. Waitress did write down one of our orders down incorrectly as cod instead of crab cake. His crab cakes didn't show up for another 20min. The poor part was that the waitress never came over at all during the 20min to give an update. Heck, didn't even come over to ask us anything or give us a refill on water. The owner of the restaurant came over but he was only asking how everything was. That was when we brought it up after 5min of the waitress being gone. The owner did give us a piece of carrot cake & was overly nice which is main reason this is a 3* & not a 2*. I usually am not harsh on reviews but the issue more was on the lack of communication between the waitress & our table. By the time he got his food, every single one of us was done or asking for a carry out box for their meal. While the owner was very nice, there obviously was a lack of communication between him & the waitress during the 20min wait bc even she was asking "can I get you something else?" not knowing the owner already had already given us some cake in a carry out container. I get Friday's are busy but don't put Crab Cakes on the menu (he got a side salad as the side so they didn't need any sides) if it takes 20min to make it or that nobody on a Friday night is ordering it at all that you can't skip an order. Also, I think the other table of 6 next to us was not happy on how long their food & drinks were taking. It was a bummer bc we were all really looking forward to a Friday Fish Fry in the UP.

The waitstaff are super friendly and their recommendation of deep fried whitefish was spot-on. The owner dropped by to say hello and he was really cool. The "pine cones ", which are deep fried mashed potatoes in a roughly cone shaped package of tastiness, are a nice accompaniment to the rest of the meal. The side salad was very good and having mostly local beers on tap was a very nice touch. Can't wait to try their prime rib night the next time I'm here on a weekend.

Pizzas were made hours ahead of time leaving a stale and chewy experience with all four pizzas looking like double crusts which concluded my order not made fresh and a bit alarming, considering that's a huge food violation but luckily my dogs have stomachs of steel. For a place that has 4 generations of family and been in business for 50+ years it sure is ran pretty loosey-goosey. It wouldn't be a surprise if this establishment continues to get sued for misconduct in the workplace in addition to formal investigations by the State and Health department for violating protocols. A business that switches ownership and changes establishment names to avoid rears with the government while using personal accounts on business should say enough. The public has a right to be informed, and parents need to be vigilant and made aware of Billy Beesley who lurks around the establishment. He has a tendency to unnecessary and excessively touch children, constantly testing children's boundaries, while positioning himself as a principle. If the owner and Jesse Welty had half a brain and valued intellect over materialistic possessions while being part of the problem, they too good see the successful grooming this pedophile has done to their own kids, grandkids and other children in the community.

The pizza is great - always hot, crispy and delicious. The only slipup we've experienced was during the pandemic... quality wasn't as high.
