24 Best American 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!“

“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💥💥💥“

“Got to town after a long flight, this was the first place I went. This juicy burger was a magnificent start to a much needed vacation. It was locally sourced butcher meat cooked to a perfect medium rare, the perfect burger. Toasted bun, hot fries, at my table minutes after I ordered.

Wonderful atmosphere, the regulars and staff interacted with each other like a family, and I got to join it for about an hour on a Saturday. I’ll be here again on my way out of town, highly recommended.“

“We have been coming to 19th hole for years. Their pizza ia always top notch. Today we got the meat lovers and it was one of the best we have ever had. Crispy crust and loaded with toppings. So delicious, we wish we lived closer so we could come back more often. We saw other people order pizzas after us and every single one looked amazing. Great place to watch a Packer game. The bartender worked double duty as the server and never missed a beat. We were so happy to spend a Sunday here and can't wait to.come back.“

“Went yesterday morning for their new breakfast buffet. Really good food with nice options. Great service too. Will definitely go back, especially for the price!
Went today for dinner. Best clam chowder and fish sandwich. Delicious pizza. Our server was awesome. Love thus place.“

“Don't sleep on the Whitetail Inn!! We almost didn't go because of some of the bad reviews here, but I'm sure thankful we didn't let those stop us. We had the most amazing dinner! Pre-dinner cocktails and then started with the bacon wrapped chestnuts with a cherry sauce...killer appetizer!! I had the King prime rib, which was supposed to be 16 oz, but I swear it was easily 24 to 28 ounces. It was cooked to perfection and the au jus was seasoned very well. I brought more home than I could possibly eat there. My wife had the Mediterranean Haddock and she still cannot express how yummy it was. We finished with a couple of after dinner cocktails at the bar. Overall a FABULOUS evening!!“

“Went into this restaurant had a nice bar.Great wood flooring staff was wonderful.Food was great, and on top of all of that, for 3 people we only paid $51. They didn't charge for my extra 2 beers and a shot. Absolutely. Make sure to check this place out. Fifteen dollar rib specials with chicken wings on tuesdays“

“Point octoberfest beer is good“

“Great new owners! Always something going on!“

“We vacation in the Northwoods fall and winter, and "The Whale" is almost always our first stop when we hit town around Suppertime on our way into town. FIRST, our server Sophia, was wonderful...on the ball, quick, friendly. This year, we noticed a couple changes that we didn't care for. The problems were (1) we were there on a FRIDAY, and the "Friday Fish Fry Menu" doesn't give people many food choices if you don't want fish, shrimp, or clam chowder. I had my heart (and stomach) set on their DELICIOUS sandwiches that come with their home-made chips and Au Jus dip. There used to be at least TWO of those on the menu...they were no longer offered on Friday nights. (2) We opted for the Friday Fish Fry, and were asked if we wanted tarter sauce and/or a couple other choices. I said YES to regular Tarter, and my wife took that AND the Honey/Mustard. When our bill arrived, we found that we were CHARGED $0.75 for EACH of those. REALLY? I've never been to a place that didn't include a lemon slice and tarter sauce by default as a normal part of the fish-fry plate.“
