Blink and you'll miss it! Or if you happen to see it you may think nothing of it and never stop by. Both these would be a mistake! My husband and his dad discovered this gem last year after literally decades of visiting their family cabin in Minocqua. It has some of the best food and best prices. They love the pizza and Old Fashioneds! More recently, I visited for the first time and had my parents also. Two people at our table ordered the Reuben sandwich and agreed it was one of the best, perhaps THE best, Reuben's they've had. The brat burger was loved by my dad since it was so unique and my baked cod was cooked perfectly and not over seasoned. My side of mixed "seasonal veggies" I'm pretty sure were of the frozen variety, so that was not so thrilling but again, I give them props on the fish. If you go when the weather is nice be sure to sit out back on their patio. It's a very serene backyard feel with lots of trees and a stream. Our server went above and beyond for us to make sure we had what we needed and was on top of things during our whole stay. We highly recommend this place!

Awesome northwoods bar, good food, great staff. My wife, daughter, and I had a burger, wrap, and fried pickles for an app. Everything was great. Looks like they are located right off a river and snowmobile trail so great place to stop if you're passing by on kayak or sled!

Been coming here for over 30 years and it's still a family fave. Tonight was no exception to the wonderful experience we always have. We overheard the staff working overtime to make every table feel welcome and appreciated. It was packed solid--- and they did everything they could to get us a table without rushing their other guests. Pizza was hot and delicious and the old fashioneds were on point. 10/10 recommend this northwoods neighborhood pizza joint and bar. It will always be our go-to. Especially with the kiddos.

Great food, service and location. Always friendly. I usually get the cod but decided to try their beef sandwich. It was also excellent.
