    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.

Burger had smoked bacon, Jalapeños, pepperjack cheese , grilled onions , On this soft sweet bun . I think it was potato bun. Service was fantastic , Owner is a ex Marine, got to talking to him . He gave up his pay to put on a event on Sunday to left feed his neighbors in town who were losing Thier SNAP benefits. Like he said no matter what side of the coin your on . People deserve to eat . Had to give him a extra $20 to help with a few plates of food for this event. Any ways the food was great best Burger any were. We sat outside with our dogs on the USS Pickles pontoon boat with them . Weather was low 50's so In Upper Wisconsin end of October it was great. Going up north in Wisconsin Pickles is a must . Owner and His Chief are best I have had . Thanks for making our vacation memorable.

The majority of the restaurant is actually a huge bar as you enter. There are four or five tables off in a separate section for any families. It's a cool place and Northwoods cool everything. I had the chicken tenders, which were very generous and tasty and my father had the chicken thigh, which was good..

We sat there for 20 minutes without anybody acknowledging we were there. Perhaps they were understaffed, but at least offer us some drinks and say hey we'll get you as soon as we can. Then I went to the bar to get some drinks i waited there 10 minutes before someone showed up. Next the bartender never acknowledged me again and proceeded to cash out some tickets. After a total of 30 minutes, we decided to just leave. Our money wasn't good enough for them and we probably won't try to visit again. Plus, they're never open anyway.

It was a Friday night October 2025 and was very busy! The wait staff and bartenders were flying! We had parmesan cod and it was delicious! We also ordered a side of cheese curds. They were actually wedges and probably some of the best we've ever had! We saw an old menu and prices on-line so we were quite surprised by the hike in price. Our parmesan cod was $18. However it would not deter us from going again. The food and service was very good. By the time we left at 7pm it was standing room only. Definitely doing something right. Had a hard time paying our bill at the bar because it was extremely busy. I think like all restaurants now it's hard to find help, you just need to pack your patience. All in all it was an excellent experience!
