This was our first visit to your restaurant. We were very disappointed with the food. We had prime rib which was tasteless. The aujous was more like coagulatedbeef gravy. The creamy french onion soup was just that. A bowl of mushy creamy onions. The men's bathroom was filthy. Toilet paper and flies on the floor. A random sock on top of the toilet. Both my husband and brother were disgusted by it. For the cost of our meal, this was a big let down.

We enjoy this place- the food, friends, and fellowship happening at Off The Chain. Highly recommended!We especially enjoy the black and blue salad, fish and chips, and Nashville chicken sliders. Oh, and you must try the boozy ice cream drinks!Many locals and tourists come by on snowmobiles to warm up with a warm meal. Thank you Justin and team.

What a crazy experience we had last night! A total disappointment! From the start to finish, it was almost indescribable. Our waitress was a mess, aggressive, loud and wouldn’t stop running around clueless. Our drinks were untimely and food wasn’t even close to menu description. I asked for management and was told nobody was there other than the staff. A Friday with a fest in town is probably worthy of having the manager and or owner on hand. We will never go back!!!

We came as a party of 4 during Cranberry fest, we were aware it may be busy. However, much to are surprise, it was not. We decided to have a drink at the bar and asked for a menu. Nowhere on the menu did we see fish. A patron next to us said that they serve Cod. My partner then asked the bartender if they serve fish. To which he replied yes, Cod. My partner asked if they had perch or bluegills. The bartender rudely replied “ No. this isn’t a garbage kitchen!” I almost fell off my stool! Perch, Bluegill garbage?! The service was horrible! Very unprofessional and unorganized. The food (small amount) was ok. We all came home and ate afterwards. Another party sitting by us in the dinning area, got up and left! Their food just sitting there and said they were so disgusted with the service and food that they couldn’t take another minute or mouthful. This was the worst experience I have ever experienced dinning out. This is also the very first bad review I’ve ever written. Oh, did I mention how overpriced it was?! Don’t waste your time

Unprofessional waitress (who told us multiple times it was her first night) was unaware of the menu items or specials. Had high expectations of the food which was par, at best. Not likely to return.

We held a private dinner with Off The Chain and it was just that! [wildly exciting]We are glowing from our summer retreat experience in Eagle River and the relationships made along rhe way. Our attendees were cordially welcomed, and offered specialty menu items. The spread featured mini sliders like Nashvillle chicken, and caprese salad bites. The lobster arancini are our director's favorite!The restaurant has a pretty extensive bar program, much variety in the libations department, plus specialty cocktails, themed to the region. Think aviation, local mule, and desserty twists on martinis. You had us at snickers bar ?.We are delighted to make memories with our new favorite Northwoods establishment. Our group is very appreciative for your hospitality. This special story and teamwork is what community is all about, and that we support wholeheartedly!Thanks again.

We spent the week up north in Eagle River and happened upon this delightful restaurant. The staff are very friendly and attentive. Our server helped us review Off The Chain's most popular menu items and suggested their specialty house made cocktails.We met up with a few other couples and had an amazing dinning experience. The owner came by the table as a hospitality check and was very genuine in their gratitude for our patronage.A friend ordered the black and blue salad, which he very much enjoyed and ordered a sampling of coconut shrimp, walleye, and salmon. All were delicious!Although we were completely satisfied with our meal, the desserts sounded too good not to try, so we shared a spiked ice cream treat. Make sure to mention this off the menu dessert at Off the Chain. We hope to return on our next visit. Thanks so much for the great meal.
Vegetarian options: The server was happy to discuss food allergy issues and notify the chef for certainty. Very nice!

This was a very pleasant surprise. Service, food and atmosphere was top notch for being up north. I will be coming back for more old fashions and the not on menu chocolate peanut butter ice cream delight. Justin, Natalie and Matt are the best!
