Description

Perched on the lake with a lively northern fishing-and-hunting vibe, this waterfront bar-grill charms with entertaining wall decor, a sunny patio and a mix of locals, anglers and power-sports fans. The menu is classic American bar fare—some standout dishes like steak and garlic cheese curds—while food consistency and service vary: servers can be friendly but slow on busy days. Expect loud music, sports on TV, and a relaxed, come-as-you-are crowd; restrooms and occasional staffing issues are the main drawbacks, but the view keeps regulars returning.

I visit this restaurant quite often, and I've consistently enjoyed exceptional food every time. While wait times can be lengthy during peak hours, the wait and bar staff are always attentive. Plus, the lake-view patio is unbeatable! Service: Dine-in Meal type: Dinner.
