“JJ's On Main was fantastic! I am not sure how to start. From the moment you walk in you feel welcome. The bar tender/owner Jess was amazing! The custom cocktails bring you in and the perfectly cooked ribeye will make you plan your next visit before you have even finished your meal. We will see you in July!”

“Brenden does a great job! 👍”

“Had a fun time. Great bartender friendly people.”

“You do realize that it’s still the same owners who own it right? They haven’t changed or sold it yet. Plus they’re getting up in age, can’t keep up with all the other orders they get. They had that new rule in place since of summer of 2023. That way all their customers can be able to their products. No need to bash someone online because you got told no. Chill out. Peace ✌️”

I had a white Russian drinks were all good. thats just the beggining when our food came my wife and I each ate one bite and were wowed by the flavor I had a ribeye she had prime rib. we then tried eachothers steak and said wow.. thank you everyone at the nutshell for a great memory.”

“the pizza is the best in antigo I ate pizza 🍕 at every place in town that sells it”

“I've been to the bar a few times now and it's somewhere that my family growing up went to and friends still go but I can't say I've been there enough to rate who works there and there services but the few times I've gone I've enjoyed there pool table and dart board and other games pretty sure they still have the pull tabs and they have a nice smoking room in back I'd go again most definitely”

“My parents live in West Bend and had been gushing about this place. They were excited to take us here last night for dinner. When we arrived, the place was packed, even on a dark, rainy Tuesday night. We were quoted 30 minutes before we could be seated. It took around that long, but we just chatted and had some drinks while waiting. Once seated, our waitress was very attentive, and we were able to place our orders right away. Two of us in the group got the Beef Tip Special, one of us got the chicken parm sandwich and one of us got the Buckthorn Burger. As a side, the chili was pretty good, with huge chunks of meat. She asked if we wanted cheese and onions on it, and we said yes, but they didn't bring it out that way. Oh well! The beef tip special was the winner of the evening, by far. For a bar, in the middle of nowhere however, the place had some good food. Would I go out of my way to eat here again...probably not, but if my parents would like to choose to come here again, I would go with them if asked. I think trying this place in the summer would be fun, with all the outdoor seating.”

“I love there Perch plates on Friday there home made potato salad was awesome”

“Decent service. I had the chimichanga. Ask for the orchata”

“Much cheaper drink prices than most places in town. No fancy drinks or fancy shots here. Great little bar if you like a quieter atmosphere with an older crowd. Only frozen pizza and bagged snacks.”

“The food was awesome! We visited as a group of 14 on a Saturday, reservation made the day before with confirmation the day of. The only reason for double communication was because they had a large group doing family style dinner at the same time. Our group ordered broasted chicken, bbq ribs, walleye, prime rib, beef tenderloin and pasta dishes. They did a wonderful job bringing us our food as quickly as they could after serving the large group.”

“normally this place is really good but tonight we had a waitress that didn't listen and brought out the wrong coffee so we had to correct that then we ordered an omelette without ham and she brought one with ham and when we told her she made a face didn't offer to correct it and went to counter and was talking about us to other waitress. we didn't have good service tonight at all. and the strawberries on our waffles were rotten and the walls was raw it's a lot of money to pay for food we can't eat. I'm usually a huge tipper but tonight the tip I have is do better. Huge disappointment and unfriendly waitresses”

“Found this little, vintage gem on Yelp. In all of our 40+ years of coming up to the Northwoods as adults, we never had heard of this diner and yet it has been around since 1945 and claims to be the oldest family-run diner/cafe in Wisconsin. Once I read the history of Dixie Lunch I knew we needed to be part of the history too! It is a no frills diner but don’t let the lack of modern and new prevent you from checking out this downtown Antigo staple. The specials will draw you in and the classics will keep you coming back. My husband ordered the Tuesday Special of Jaeger Schnitzel w/mashed potatoes & gravy and red cabbage. He said it was some of the best he had ever tasted. I ordered the Bacon Cheeseburger and homemade fries. It was delicious! Bacon was a little thicker than most other establishments use and it was crispy, just like I like it. The burger was juicy and the combination made it one of the best I have had in a long time. We finished our lunch off by sharing a slice of homemade lemon meringue pie…oh my goodness…YUM!!! We will be back!”
