I hate to rate (whoa, rhyme!) a place solely based on a singular visit, however I do think this…read moreoccasion is appropriate. Scenario- weekday visit- two first time guests. Walked in and was awkwardly greeted by locals (turning around away from their usual bar seats) staring at me deliberately as I entered like that of outlaws in a western film observing an outsider. (Maybe I'm just that hot? Haha! No way) Anyway, the uncomfortable awkwardness was instantly wiped away by our adorable server. She promptly greatest us kindly, in her northern plaid attire, fair complexion and strawberry blonde hair. She kept very good care of us throughout our visit, but my one complaint is- she never offered a drink menu to us. In a bar that's a bit strange. Ever been the sole sober table in a bar? Unfortunately I have many, many times. In bar standards the food was good, and for the price I would recommend.

We came for lunch on a sunny day and were able to enjoy the deck. There were quite a few files but I don't think that's something they really can control. Drinks and food came quick. The cheese curds were hot and the jalapenos ranch was very tasty. For my meal I got beef nachos and they load them up. They were very filling and I had left overs. We had to ask for a few things that were forgot by the waiter but overall it was a good meal.

We ate here again a week ago and things have gone downhill a bit…read more This is not a super club. If you go in expecting that you will be disappointed. This is a bar with food that has a very stark, very bright, and very white room attached to it. The staff is uniformly friendly and the bartenders make nice basic drinks. There are hints of homemade chef driven food, but much of that has gone downhill some. I liked the ribs before but the portions are smaller and they were very fatty. The burgers were just ok, and nothing special. The walleye was pretty good, but also somewhat spendy. The best thing we ate was the hog wings, but they are $5 each. The salads were fresh and crisp. Overall this whole experience was just ok. I'm numbed out a bit since I thought this would be a place that I loved.

I'll be in the area again this fall and plan on visiting at least a few times. Give it a try!

We almost drove past it since it is a little road that looks like it is only one lane. There is a yellow banner hanging in the trees. That is how you know you are there. You dive through the forest, and it pops out of nowhere. It is a great surprise. Don't be put off by how it looks on the outside. It is a great place to eat and drink. It is very clean and the Bar Tender / Waitress was quick and attentive. They had outside seating as well as inside seating. My Brother-in-law had a bad meal at another local restaurant earlier in the week. He was very pleased with his meal here. Please stop by when you are in town to visit this location in the woods. You won't be dissapointed.
