It's a local secret, Friday's only, good is great! I got the perch fish fry, the potato salad and German potato salad with a beer, perfect night! Old mercantile store, used to have dancing on Friday and Saturday, my grandfather danced there! Get there early to get a table, nothing fancy, nice folks and great fish fry😊
It's a step back in time. Awesome fish and awesome old fashioneds.

The place to be for a Friday night fish fry and to experience the unique One of a Kind atmosphere that you feel up north and in the middle of nowhere. All of the fish fry on the menu are delicious.

They have really good food… too bad they are ALWAYS out of it!!! It’s 4pm on a Friday and they are already out of seafood platter!!! Un*******believable!!!!

Golden Nugget has the best fish fry around! The haddock is good but I prefer the perch.

I got put into a $400 a night room. Daughter was getting married and everyone was at this hotel. The tub was cracked. If I did choose to fill it up, it would have flooded the room below. The sink did not drain well. Looking at the pipe beneath, it had a slight angle up rather than down. TV remote didn't work properly. When I told staff, they totally acted liked they didn't care and offered a room change but I declines since I didn't want to pack up everything again. I asked for 1 day comp since I was there for three, they only offered to remove the $50 a day resort fee. Pool want even open. EXTREMLY uncaring front desk staff. Oh never got a working TV remote also. Would maybe recommend if the room was $50- to 70 a night but not $400. I posted picks on social media as proof. Even a pick I found of a used condemn in the hallway.

You're driving through a teeny town, and coming up to this building makes you feel like you're going back in time. Thank God they haven't renovated a thing to "modern" (yuck) standards. This is old school as good as it gets - the way things used to be, and the way a WI Friday night fish fry should be. There is nothing fancy here, and that's a good thing. This place is the happening spot on a Friday night in Pine River. Known as having the longest bar in the state of WI. Serving Fridays only, 4-7:30. Get there early, because they fill up fast. Friendly service. A fun place to visit with people sitting near you, and the food is outstanding! Homemade German potato salad, coleslaw and tartar. Hand-breaded fish. Very simple menu. Just an ice cream sundae for dessert, or there were slices of homemade desserts packaged and stacked on the bar. Two fish plates for us were $23. With 2 sodas, we spent a total of $27. History on the building: Built as a general store by Alanson Mellen Kimball (1827-1923), who is listed on Findagrave as a "famous burial" in the Pine River Cemetery. Info on him: U.S. Congressman. He was elected to represent Wisconsin's 6th District in the United States House of Representatives, serving from 1875-1877. He also served as a member of the Wisconsin State Senate from 1863-1864, and as a delegate to the Republican National Convention from Wisconsin in 1884.

Food is fantastic! Better get there early, tables fill up fast! Family style dining and waitresses that work their hardest at getting everyone served as fast as they can. Prices are unbeatable.
One of the best dive bar/restaurants you'll find in Wisconsin. Big food portions fair drink prices. You walk away hungry there its your own fault!! Only open on Fridays. Say hi to Theresa when your there! She cooks all the fish dinners.
Went here once and never again. Was recommended to go here and service was table had to fine own place to sit and waited over 2 hours food to arrive. Waitress gave food to other tables that were there after us first. Food was decent but nothing special. Only good thing was that pretty reasonable and cheap to eat at.

It is an interesting experience. Excellent food at a very reasonable price. For this reason, it is a little different venue..very country and old-fashioned. You get your own drink and head to a table. All the neighbors are there and it is only open for fish on a Friday night.
