    Burger with American cheese & fried onions
    Lisa M.

    Finally tried this place for lunch, after reading about how good their burgers are! Good news....it did not disappoint. It's a cute little 'up north' bar with a few tables. Signs on the tables say to order at the bar, but during my visit the bartender came over and took our order. Service was prompt & efficient. My guest and I each ordered a burger. I got the make your own burger with American cheese and fried onions. My guest had the snowshoe burger. Both were served with fries. The burgers were juicy and full of flavor. The cheese was a generous slice. I loved the fried onions. The fries were crispy. Perfect, good sized portions. Looking forward to coming back and trying other items on their menu....or maybe just for another one of those burgers!

    After seeing that Whitman's won "Northwoods Best Burger" contest... we had to try ! Huge bar and lots of dining area room. We sat at the bar and received excellent service. We ordered two of their burgers. The burgers came out very quickly. Pros- Burger patty itself was absolutely delicious. Thick and juicy. Really fresh tasting meat. Outstanding! The caramelized onions and mushrooms were out of this world as well. Perfectly cooked and with a little char. Overall an OUTSTANDING burger. Cons- they accidentally put the wrong cheese on our burgers. We were supposed to have each others cheese but it wasn't a big deal. Still delicious. The fries were soggy and undercooked but the bartender acknowledged it without us saying anything and asked if we wanted new ones. Not going to hold it against them. Can't wait to go back for another drink & burger !

    CASH ONLY (atm inside). My hubby and I love to stop at places on the motorcycle and we decided to take a trip to Minoqua. This place had awesome reviews so, why not? We loved it! I had the BLT and my husband had their burger with the bourbon glaze. Very affordable, staff and local clientele gave us great conversation. What to know: it's easy to drive by, so keep an eye out. Cash only so bring some or plan on using the ATM, it's smaller inside. It's typical WI bar food: burgers, chicken sandwiches, cheese curds, BLT, fries, etc.

    Menu

    It's a bar. We are expecting to see a bit bigger menu based on the previous reviews. No burgers. Just wings and few others. No fries with sandwiches, only store bought cheap chips. So, I'm guessing it was winter only menu??? The wings were really good though. I wish we knew "spicy garlic" means "REALLY SPICY garlic". I felt like my lips and tongue are double in size for the next hour or so. Blue cheese dressing was 5 star! Biggest chunk of blue cheese I've ever found in a dressing! Celery sticks were fresh too. Oh the beer was served in a nice cold (frozen) glass!

    Menu

    Great burgers, Tuesday and Thursday wings with limited menu, Friday fish fry with limited menu.

    Always great, probably the best burger in the entire world. Ask for the Freddy deluxe or the dry rub wings.

    Nice stop in the lake, a decent amount of boat parking. Inside is small and the outside area is…read morevery nice on the water, great views and lots of boat traffic. The staff as attentive to our table and quick. The drink menu was big. The daiquiri and pina colada were from a smoothie machine and not super frozen so on a hot day it doesn't last long. I got the chicken bacon ranch wrap with sweet potatoes fries. The sweet potato fries were good but feel like missing a dipping sauce with them. The wrap was a good portion, I prefer a little more sauce. The fish fry plate was big, 3 pieces of fish. The batter was crispy. The corn bread was yummy.

    Fun place on the water. Good food but not inexpensive. Service was friendly but not particularly…read morefast. Must be patient. Sat outside close to the dock, was a beautiful sunny day and not too hot. Wifey had a salad with grilled chicken. Looked very good and ended up as part of the clean plate club. Friends had pulled pork sliders which looked very good. Three small rolls with pork, cole slaw and a dressing. Fourth adult had fish tacos with side of fries. Fish portion was modest. One child had beef tacos, must not have been very good because only a half was eaten. Child number two had a corn dog and fries. Can't complain about the food, but the prices were a little high for what we received. Recommend as a great place to stop while on the lake but would not journey there for other meals.
