10 Best American Restaurants near Shell Lake

“This is a quiet cafe that offers breakfast and lunch. The food was good as was the service. The atmosphere is bright and fun with 248 lunch boxes on display. I personally liked the Curious George lunch boxes. The bathroom was small but clean. Parking is right out front.“

“Went there for lunch today and the food was great. Eye appealing, tasted great and came to our table hot. The bartender Rae was a lot of fun. I look at cleanliness of a restaurant and Rae's gets 5 stars! If you haven't been here try them you won't be disappointed !! I'll be back.“

“What a nice place to stop. I strongly suggest their bloody Marys, especially their one with everything on it. It's like a sampler platter with a bloody Mary and don't forget to bring your appetite. The bartender there is second to none, always on her game and ready to help you, make sure you tip her well for her services. This has become our normal stop on the way back from up north.“

“We have stopped here several years in a row for fish fry as we have family in the area. We stopped here long ago when it was The Narrow Gauge. Always good food and pretty good drinks and beer. When they are busy be sure to order two drinks at a time as it may take a while to get your next drink. Very friendly with good food! Nice beer selection as well.“

“Stopped in on a Wednesday evening and although the bartender did not look up to acknowledge us when we walked in she did take our order pretty quickly. Burgers arrived and were amazing! Toasted buns - yum! Unfortunately the bartender never checked in with us regarding our food or when our beers were empty (we were the only ones eating - bar was not busy). Still giving 4 stars though as we really liked the food and the atmosphere. Also, one of the few places open on a Wednesday night.“

“Always consistently wonderful! Enjoyed the lunch menu of a great flatbread & another at our table had Prime beef drip sandwich. The coffee drinks are always spot on and delicious. AND… their bakery case is full of yummy Fall desserts/scones/muffins. But most of all we enjoy the atmosphere. Clean, spaced nicely so we can have a nice conversation with friends without feeling squished in. Decor is modern and welcoming. Can’t go wrong at this place!Parking: Clean and accessible“

“We were at the cabin up here and decided to the Tonys Riverside. Tony’s has the best food! The kids love it and so do we. Highly recommend. I had the Cesar wrap and curly fries and my other half had the chicken melt. VERY GOOD! Not to mention the kids stayed busy on the claw machine!“

“Stopped here Friday night for fish fry, my mind quickly changed when I was told ribeye was on special ! The food and drinks were absolutely amazing and one of the best places Ive been locally!! 100/10 great food, drinks, atmosphere, and service! Will be back.Parking: Parking is hard to get when this place is busy. Come early or park in the lot next to the hockey arena!“

“We've visited twice since this owner took over. Both times, despite being very busy, the food and service were excellent! Probably best in the area. We're excited to come back for the Easter brunch tomorrow. Thank you for giving us an amazing place to enjoy great food and friendly atmosphere.“
