So glad we stopped in. What a fantastic experience. Our family of four stopped in on a Friday and of course we had to try the fish fry. The haddock was delicious and flakey. The special was a blackened salmon which was served with an amazing glaze and cooked to perfection. IMO the tastiest was the delicious little lake perch lightly breaded and seasoned to perfection. Everything was served piping hot and the staff (including the owner) was amazing. The wisco old fashioneds were on point. And to finish it all off, the desserts and ice cream drinks were exceptional. Get the pink squirrel. Oh my. Don't hesitate! Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

We have been going to Shady Sues for years. We have always had great service, Ted the bartender is the best, and the food always consistently delicious. The various fish choices, as well as the steaks and her ribs. Desserts also excellent. A cozy, down to earth atmosphere. Our favorite restaurant in the Northwoods! Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner
