The NorthStar Speakeasy Bar & Restaurant

Don't judge the building by its cover. It looks somewhat just like the name would suggest, if you know what I mean. But the food was amazing, the service was helpful and welcoming, and the prices were very reasonable.
The BBQ sampler is a great idea and is very helpful if you can't decide what to get.
The cheese curds look and taste wonderful, and are actually hand-battered, unlike most places. Everything is fresh and hot. The ranch is tasty as well, which was important for me as a somewhat of a sauce connoisseur.
Will definitely be be back again ❤️

I stopped in for a couple of cocktails and food! Everything was amazing from the service to the food! I give the employees a 10/10 for everything they did for us.

Was a little bit spendy but absolutely amazing food and service despite what you might think when pulling up to the restaurant.
Ordered the chicken Alfredo pasta and one of the specialty burgers.
The burger was honestly one of the best ive ever had.
The Alfredo was very good and the chicken was 10/10.

The service was great, our server was the bartender and I can't remember his name but he was a younger guy in a Hawaiian shirt and was very friendly and attentive. The Steak Tips and Blotto Mac were very good and I highly recommend! Unfortunately my boyfriend didn't really enjoy his Porterhouse steak. He said it was very fatty for what he's used to with this type of steak, lacked flavor, and it didn't seem like very high quality meat for it being $40. Regardless, we will likely still come back as we enjoyed the service and everything else was delicious.

I recommend this restraunt, because the staff are friendly and the food is good. They give you fair portions and the food is fresh. If you are looking for BBQ this would be a great place to stop in amd eat. I also want to give a shout out to are super adorable waitress Emily and thank her for making our experience nice!! Keep up the good customer service it's hard to find. We definitely will come back just because of the service. Thank you for caring!!!

We Ordered The Bootlegger & STEAKTIPPS & Chicken Alfredo Pasta. Everything We Tryed We liked. Would Definitely

Service was ok but the food was not so. Me and my wife had the same meal, a steak on special. It was terrible the worst steak I've had at a restaurant. It was so tough even hard to cut with a steak knife.

Great service from the bartender Eric & food was delicious!

Food is always excellent. Service is not. Hit and miss, can be dead in the place and service is terrible and slow (bartender). Food always comes out hot and tastes great. A bit overpriced at the bar, $5.20 for a tap pint of a domestic that you have to wait too long for. Same beer at Slim's down the road is $3.25 with friendlier, faster service.

We held a special family/friend event in the 'Hideout' downstairs, and enjoyed the rustic ambience of this space. We had Maddie as our bartender down there and she was incredibly fun and friendly! Brian and Brittany were super easy to coordinate with, and their planning skills helped us right from the start. They are very affordable, and, any chance to host a gathering here would absolutely be the right choice! Thank you, to everyone there, including Jewel (who helped out while we decorated the night before). You're all amazing!!!
