Horrible. First off trying to eat when theres a bunch of people playing shuffle board a foot away from where you're eating is not my idea of a great dinner. Secondly the food is not worth your money. I had the craftsman burger and added tater tots (which was a $2.50 charge) wow! Over $20 for the most mediocre burger. Sounded amazing on the menu. As most of it does. I dont even want to hear its inflation or whatever the excuse is. Save your money and go to Fritz's in Woodruff for a delicous burger at $6.

I don’t drink so can’t say much about the alcohol. Our waitress was inattentive and slow coming to us each time. We started off with bruschetta, and that was decent. Bread wasn’t hard and tomatoes were sweet and juicy. I ordered the lobster roll, it was dry, lacked butter, but had good enough seasoning for northern Wisconsin. Didn’t get any butter to dip it in or pour it on top. Hubs got the craftsman 2.0 smash burger; it was ok. Nothing to rave about but it made him full. This place looks like it should have “fork and knife” cuisine, but has “hands on” cuisine instead. Like a place that serves dressed up bar food. Tator tots would come better tasting out of an ore-ida bag. The chips tasted like dirty potatoes with half a sprinkle of salt and pepper, maybe. This place has all the looks of a decent northwoods restaurant but it’s really just a pig with lipstick on. Loved the root beer.

Stopped for a drink and apps. Delicious cheese curds. Flatbread pizza was good, but lukewarm. Hope to be back for dinner some time.

Our server was very friendly. Service was rushed though. Had appetizer before we even had a drink. Food came out right after drinks. Food was mediocre. Cheese curds were very greasy. One person had Nashville hot chicken. No spice and just meh. Honey chicken sandwich tasted burnt. Would try again because drinks had potential but no reason to be so rushed on a Friday in eagle river.

Food was fresh tasting and the flavors were perfect! One of my new favorite spots in the Northwoods! Bruschetta was unique but tasted awesome.

Love the cozy vibe, amazing cocktail list, unique foods. I wish they’d bring back the candied bacon but I’ve never had a bad meal here! It’s our favorite in the area!

Best spot in town! Friendly start, creative drinks, and great food. Might be the best grilled chicken sandwich I’ve had in a long time—super juicy and flavorful with the blackened seasoning. The cocktails are delicious too and a nice comfortable atmosphere.

We loved our dinner here as we were passing through Eagle River. Super cool aesthetic and friendliest & most capable wait staff we’ve experienced in quite some time. We ordered two kids meals which came with great portion sizes and the sides of veggies & homemade ranch was huge & cut up super cute. The adults in our group had the lobster roll, logging camp burger, and garlic tots and they were all an 11/10. Logging camp burger was the best burger we’ve ever had. Highly recommend - we will be back!Kid-friendliness: Great kids menu and incredibly generous portions. Kids milk is organic!

Good service, good selection of taps, nice decor and DON'T miss the restrooms! Strange to mention maybe, but the effort in the details matters.
