“The best food and friendly staff. we've had there burgers, broasted chicken and today Father's day brunch and all is delicious.“

“Great food, great owners, great staff!! I highly recommend this place! The burgers are the best! The owners Jim and Brenda are 2 of the nicest people I have ever met!“

“AMAZING FISH FRY! I won’t be going anywhere else for fish. They’ve nailed it.“

“AWESOME PLACE!!!! NAN, is not only an excellent bartender but an exceptional person who truly makes you feel welcome. This is a very tiny bar with limited seating but a great selection of drinks and fabulous conversation make it top on my list. I highly recommend patronizing this local establishment.“

“The food was delicious. Had the pleasure of having lunch today. Nice people. Will be back.“

“Unless you come into this Bar when it is extremely busy, service and food are excellent. I have been to this establishment many times and I feel they go out of their way to give you the best and friendliest service around.... anyone who would think differently has not given this bar a fair shake and needs to try and stop in again. One also must remember bar is run by owner and must understand there is ONE person on duty most times.“

“Great food, Great prices, Great service!!“

“I know a lot* about this place, roughly 8-9yrs "lot". One of the only places I will go because the atmosphere is that of profession & family.

Everything I have eaten here has been great and I cook myself, so I will save fantastic for my* food ;-). Staff has been middlin-to-great any given time/day. While cooks are not chefs, they do great with what they're working with (small, but efficient) and the kitchen is always* clean. What more could I* ask?

Payment options are cash, check or TYME machine, because card fees will add up to 10% to food & the owner likes keeping food at decent prices (plus Frontier internet service is subpar). FWIW, low prices have not changed but 75¢ in 8yrs! One extra egg at breakfast, so if You want two, order one. If You want four, order three.

RE (I think some reviewers are confused as to what establishment they are reviewing [there is another similar name in another county] or the few, negative reviews are fictitious):
*) The ATM fee, since 2012, is $3.50, not $5 (Kwik Trip is free, stop there if on the way, or bring cash/check)
*) Pizza is never* frozen... NEVER!
*) There is not* more than one bartender on Wed.
*) How can an "undercooked/raw" meal be "overcooked"?
*) Drink prices are pretty much 2nd or 3rd lowest in the area. 25¢ additional for a tall (pint)... $4.25 for top shelf liquor and $2 for domestic, draught beer, $6.50 a pitcher! $5 bloodies, $5.50 White Russians, $5 rail old fashions, $7* Long Islands... Happy hour (-50¢) is 16°°-18°° for domestic draught, cans and rail liquor. Sound high-priced or sound fictitious to You?
*) Being on the phone at work is not allowed there (nor has mention of the violation ever* been an issue) unless it is a business-related call. It gets loud in the bar, so it is common for the bartender to go to the back kiosk to create a carry-out ticket.
*) Most appetizers and sides are portioned (which means weighed), as well as sandwich meats, so no one meal gets more than another of the same.
*) There is no waitress on the weekday evenings, occasionally during holiday season, so if one sits under the sign in the dining room that displays the plea, "Please make Your order at the bar", and the bartender can't legally leave a full bar, then courtesy should definitely be given. No?

If You have any issues with the food, service & cleanliness and courtesy doesn't resolve it, leave a date in your review and simply don't go there on that day. Don't make the owner suffer because of one bad egg. Help make the business better. It is a family-orientated establishment that has served & survived the test of time. It can't be that* bad now can it?

AMERICA! :-)

P.S.
Kitchen hours for fryer & grill are 8°°-20°° Sunday & 8°°-21°° Mon-Sat. Pizzas oven remains on after those hours; Bartender's discretion (laws prohibit leaving a bar area). Homemade soup can be purchased cold to go & frozen appetizers can be purchased to take home to Your air fryer!!!“

“We went to Pine Cove to have lunch for Veteran’s Day. There was only one employee and it was busy. Our food came up in a decent amount of time and the employee didn’t get overwhelmed! I’m impressed“

“I'm Michael's nephew and if you like camping fishing or even just a night at the bar ? Michael's is your place there are sometimes kids but not past 10:00 were pet friendly and the bartenders are nice and will help with anything you might need not to mention the fishing is great if you want to enjoy a day on the water we rent out canoes and pontoons so if you're in the area i recommend you stop by even if you have dog they can come in to we do sell dog treats and theres water for dogs if they need it but if you stop by dont be shy to ask questions and I have been here 12 years which is all my life but it's such a nice place all year round.“

“I've met some of the greatest people I know here“

“I went there Friday night of the gun deer opener. Expecting a long wait. I went into the dining room & talked to a waitress. Said just a table for 1. She jokingly made fun of me, with a smile. I was seated right away. My fish dinner came out quickly & was delicious!
Thank you staff!
