Restaurants near Arbor Vitae

“I used to strictly use the curbside service, but this summer has had the friendliest staff on record that I look forward to coming in to dine, even if I’m by myself. (Forgive me if I mess up names, but I want to give credit) Your J1 workers tell me every single visit “Bless you”, Savanna makes the best concrete mixers, like just perfect, you can actually hear Allison’s smile through the drive through speaker, Sky on registers is just naturally welcoming and always has the best suggestions that I’m convinced of an upgrade every visit (sig sauce on a burger, YES!), Abby (or Annie?) is constantly helping her staff and seems like a great support. I want to give a shout out to the owner for running a place that obviously cares about their employees to the point that they can genuinely care about their customers.
Call me sentimental over fast food, but I’m a fan of this store. Keep it up!”

“Fantastic. Best barbecue I’ve ever had.”

“Walked in and got a perfect table for 2 by the fireplace! Service was 10/10! ABSOLUTELY the best meal I have ever had! I ordered the 1/2 order brussels & pork belly for appetizer, it was large enough to share and have for my side with Blackened Catfish creole!! It was amazing! A bonus was the bread and dipping!! Hubby had filet and baked potato, he gives 10/10 also. Old fashions were SPOT on and my Blackberry drink was too! Wish we weren’t too full for dessert! Will be our #1 go to when we are in this area💥💥💥”

“There’s places that call themselves breweries and then there’s Rocky Reef who is truly dedicated to the craft of brewing. Situated in a perfect area right off of Highway 51 in Woodruff. I would recommend taking large groups of families or even visiting as a solo patron. This is some of the best beer you will find in Wisconsin let alone in the Northwoods. I would not only center my trip on this location. I would make sure I visit many of my friends from around the area at Rocky Reef. My favorite beers were the black lager and all their IPAs.”

Food non of us we the least bit displeased. All of our food & drinks rocked solid yum!! Kudos to the cook & Anna for the great experience!!! We'll be coming & you all should stop!!”

“Pizza pick up only. My order is always ready for pickup, lover their system of 'shelving' ready orders on wall when walking in. LOVE the original crust pizzas. My favorite pizza is the COWBOY. Great pizza, great service and you don't have to take a loan out for a ex-large pizza!”

“Always a must stop in the Northwoods 🍦”

“I absolutely love this place. There has been nothing that I have ordered that hasn't been excellent. Today I ordered Salmon with Curry sauce and rice. I can't think of the name of the dish, but man is it good. Their Thai Tea is great as well. If you haven't been, please go there and try it out. Everything is so fresh and fabulous.”

“The workers today (7/25/2026) were finaminal and thats an understatement!! The amount of positive vibes just walking through the door, my son played with one of the workers daughter while my mom and I ordered and he gave him a few suckers for being nice ans playing with her. The 2 teenage boys working as their first jobs were incredible as well!! Keep up all the positive vibes and good suggestions!!”

“The Fish Fry is the BEST in town and the owners are the absolute friendliest. Love the atmosphere and highly recommend the Bushwood Tavern.”

“The pizza was amazing, the service was even better. Can't imagine a better place to eat pizza.”

“I've been a loyal customer of Holiday Cafe since they moved to Woodruff from Hazelhurts and I've never had a bad meal or any kind of dust up with the staff. Wonderful people and the food is very very good. Their Friday night fish fry is outstanding, their perch dinner is worth the wait on a Friday night.”

“Best tamales I’ve ever had. Verde salsa had a stronger cilantro taste, but I’m not a huge cilantro fan and I assume I’m biased. Best queso. Everything was so fresh.”

We tried the Mac and ches, chicken bacon ranch, BLT and an order of Billy bread. The whole family was unanimous, great pizza. we will definitely be back.”
