20 Best American Restaurants near Arbor Vitae

“Culvers is just simply the best there is for fast food. But expect your order to be missing the details basically everytime. Burgers go with out ordered and paid for extras with frequently, and concrete mixers with paid for extras are also frequently missed. Food is still very good and besides the missing paid for extras, I have yet to have bad service at any culvers.“

“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💥💥💥“

“We have visited Northfork each time we’ve stayed in Rhinelander. We love the menu selection, the staff is amazing and we never walk away hungry. It is our favorite spot in the Northwoods!“

“I had a burger and the chippers. Delicious.“

“Era is the best restaurant in the Northwoods. We have been to ERA 8 times. The food is delicious. The service is impeccable. I recommend ERA wholeheartedly without reservation.“

“We stopped on our way home from Minocqua. Have driven past for many years and always noticed a lot of cars so had to stop and check it out for lunch. Felt like we were part of the locals. French onion soup was the best I have ever had. Will definitely stop again next trio to the northwoods.“

“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!!“

“Amazing staff amazing food and absolutely love the Bloody Marys👍👍“

“Awesome food and Josh was an awesome waiter! Really make you feel welcome!“

“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 just spent a week up at Fath's North Shore resort where Clearview Supper Club is located! The food there is amazing! Best food we had all week up there! Our group had a little if everything and it was all very good! Not only is the food good but the staff is amazing! All of them, right down to the cook! We had lots of fun at the bar and their ice cream drinks are very yummy! They are fun and make you feel right at home! We can't wait to go back next year! Make sure this place is on the top of your list to have dinner and drinks! Cheers!“

“Point octoberfest beer is good“

“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.“

“came this evening for dinner and there wasn't much of a wait, but the younger blonde working the window was sat and ate her ice cream at her own pace ignoring customers and being very short with them was upsetting. she made fun of other customers when they walked away, didn't care to smile, and would walk away and not help customers with ketchup and sauces. the food is great but today's service was nothing short of horrible. I hope it was just an off day for her and it's not like this normally.“

“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.“
