“My wife and I, and my parents, enjoyed blackened mahi mahi this past Friday night at MACKZ's Hideaway. We arrived at 1900 and found most tables occupied - fortunately a table for four opened just as we arrived. It appeared only one person was working the tables - she did a great job keeping up with a dozen or so tables.Being busy, it took approximately 40 minutes for our food to arrive - we enjoyed a few beers during the wait (Widow Maker Black Ale was particularly tasty). We were glad to hear that the bar/restaurant will continue business after the completion of its recent sale. The establishment had planned a farewell party for the weekend of 28 July 2023, which will now be a grand re-opening celebration. We look forward to future Friday fish fries!“
“First time customers- good atmosphere, music is not so loud that you couldn't have a talk over dinner. The food was good. Had the ribeye and baked potato and my husband had the Alfredo pasta with Cajun chicken. My husbands only complaint was his pasta could be warmer. Tried their homemade cheese curds. They were good and not sopping wet with grease and not overly battered. Waitresses were attentive and kept the drinks refilled but they were working their butt off. Went to the bathroom and initially I found it to be decent and clean. I had a little trouble getting the door lock to line up to lock. I found the bathroom floor to be sticky but no debris, but a clean toilet and clean solid seat. Can't wait to return to try out some other dishes.“
“Outstanding chicken! Call ahead to make sure they are open, we stopped wanting to get some chicken to go and they were closed. Apparently they changed their hours with a note in the window but didn't update on website or social media.“
“Finally got to check this place out! Enjoyed a lovely dinner here with a friend. Service: Service was very friendly and prompt. Our server walked us through the drink and food specials and the menu. She shared that the staff tasted both entree specials and they were excellent.Drinks: I had the Almost a Mango Margarita. It was very flavorful and the Tajin on the rim really complimented it. Highly recommend. My friend had a Spotted Cow on tap. Regret not trying the McIntosh mule special, as that sounded good and was only $7.Food: We started with the Brussels sprouts & onion appetizer. This was excellent and enjoyed the Parmesan cheese on top. My guest had the GLT burger and fries. They could not stop talking about the high quality of beef and said this was one of the best burgers they had. I had the Mac & Cheese with pork shoulder. This was a hearty meal and I took 1/3 of it home. The pork shoulder and BBQ sauce really made the dish. My only criticism is there was too much cheese sauce on the shell pasta, and the balance seemed off. Their dessert was strawberry shortcake, but we were too full to try it. Hope to have dessert next time.Ambience: The restaurant has a big oval bar, which was hopping with customers. The dining room had two small areas - one with high top tables and one with regular tables. It was decorated with antiques, which was welcoming, Recommend checking this place out!“
“Definitely worth the 5 star ranking. Great staff, strong menu, reasonable prices and really good food. We are new to the area so trying to explore and try new places. Everyone in our party was very happy with their dishes, we definitely made the dish washers job a bit easier. Check it out if you are somewhat nearby, I don't think you will be disappointed. Looks like they're just open for breakfast and lunch.“
“All the buzz about this pub is on point. South of town on the main highway - easy to get to. Very clean and very nice staff highlight the big menu. Apps don't disappoint but the burgers are the big deal. Heard a lot about them and they are very good. Nice place to watch a game or just hang out for a bit. Don't miss this place.“
“Wasn't sure what to expect when we pulled up but the place had a bunch of 5 star reviews, so we were willing to try it. Only a few food options to choose from but they were delicious. Even the picky eater in our group said she would be willing to go back.“
“Pretty good food, but our waitress Tina delivered great service that made this cafe stand out. She was very attentive and upbeat despite being very busy. In a world of service getting worse everyday, she was a glimmer of hope I had the 3C's sampler, and although fish for breakfast seemed weird, it was a delicious plate. Extra points for having no-spill kids cups for us.“
“First time to an ERA, so I was pleasantly surprised to find the food very good, service fast and friendly and the atmosphere clean and comfortable. Great place for breakfast or lunch, plenty of options for vegetarians and gluten-free. A solid choice, and their hours are reasonable (!).“
“They have a delicious chicken dinner. Bartender was nice. Only thing is if you order chicken expect to wait for a while. We waited quite some time for it. Lots of orders ahead of us I guess. If you are able to get through on the phone and order ahead I would recommend it if you're not a drinker.“
“Typical up north bar and restaurant BUT with vegan options!!! They have a veggie black bean burger and vegan chicken strips. When I asked for a dairy free dressing option it was clear the server actually read all the ingredient options instead of just picking one. Massively appreciate them catering to dietary restrictions- not common to find vegan options up here!“
“We like Whitman's. Great circular bar so it's easy to have conversations and interact with others. The food is great bar food and more. The soups are delicious. There's t.v.'s, music, and additional seating beyond the bar. Clean and organized but not so updated as to lose the up north feel.“
“My husband and I were craving a fish fry and just happened upon this place on our way through to Wausau. We were both very pleased to be seated by the window overlooking the lake. The interior is classy, our service was fantastic, the food came fast and delicious! We had calamari and walleye bites appetizers. We both enjoyed the fish fry we were craving.“
“Pretty solid stop passing through up north. Embodies a proper Irish pub.Food: they’re known for their Ruben sandwiches/wraps. It was pretty good. Huge serving for $16. $3 to swap chips for fries - which are absolute crack. We also got the fried cauliflower for an app - def a recommendation. Now, id stay away from there wraps here. Partner wasn’t a fan - a bit vinegary and bland.Service: it all ended up working out. She wasn’t real focused and making her job a lot harder than it had to be. Nothing terrible though.Atmosphere:Such a cool spot. Plenty of dark hard wood throughout. Big bar. Large booths. Lots of late sunshine pokes in too.“
“I D O N O T recommend them. we brought 15 adult motorcyclists in to eat and drink. tried to put two tables together and the bartender yelled, "WE don't push tables together here. so we left with out nearly $1,000 worth of business.“
“Now I had good service, and a good fish fry, now it was very busy, and like every were, short staffed, need to get rid of the pool table and put in more tables, as people were leaving do to standing and waiting, but a must stop if your near Rhinelander for food,“
“Ate here for the first time tonight, ordered the lasagna which was the Thursday special. OMG it was delicious! The veggies that came with it were a little too oily for my taste but I finished them anyways. The lasagna piece was HUGE, and it came with two bread sticks that were equally tasty.I'll be back again next time we are in town!“
“The food was really good. Cheese curds and pretzel bites were on point! Kids weren't keen on the crispy fries, but I liked them. Chowder and the Blackened Grouper were very tasty.Excellent service and kid friendly atmosphere!!Kid-friendliness: Lots of arcade type games and the view kept the kids entertained.“
“Probably the only "fast food" i actually like, we may go there too often BUT They need to have WAY more broccoli soup. The other soups will be available for multiple days in a row but almost every time I try I either get the last of it or at 3pm it's already gone.“
“Everything about this place is awesome the food’s amazing the waitress was polite definitely see myself coming back here might make this place my favorite place to go too because theres definitely no other places around here as good as this one.“
