We got a drink and Wild Rice Clam Chowder soup there. Soup was just ok we both thought. The place is very kid friendly, it has an arcade for them to play while waiting for the food. Outside seating was nice overlookjng the lake with nice patio funiture. Inside of the restaurant look updated on one side and older on the other. The Bartender was so friendly and quick to bring us our order. Glad we checked it out while in the area.

This waterfront restaurant is not just another tourist trap. All food items are flavorful and service is top notch - Chicken wings were crisp and fish was meaty. Great place to look out over the water and dine. Wait for a bit long but it was a nice place to visit nevertheless.

Amazing waterfront views. We really liked the blackened fish, cheeseburger, and grilled chicken sandwich. Nice beer selection. (re picture - note I already ate some of the fish and the pickles and tomato are my kids garnishes)

Great day to sit on the deck. Our server, Paige, was very personable and helped us with the area. Food and cocktails were perfect

This restaurant not only has amazing quality food, but the views if you sit outside are unbeatable! You can sit on a dock on lake Minocqua and also get service to your table. If you pick the correct date during the summer, sometimes you can watch the Minocqua bats (a waterskiing team) practice or perform on the lake. The food is great, and the service is amazing as well. It can get pretty busy doing the lunch hour in the summer though, so you may want to go early or later.
