The Pines of Waupaca Restaurant and Beer Garden

Don't be fooled by the menu. This is a Mexican restaurant, not American food.Very short staffed. One guy handling about 11 people.6 of us walked in at same time. I was by myself. Then came in 5 ladies shortly after.I felt sorry for the guy, but he's not equipped to handle this at once.I would rate higher if i wasn't deceived.I looked at the reviews and menu posted and came here because of that.Food was good. I had the $6 burrito. Good lots of meat. But it was hamburger not cooked with any seasoning. Came with beans, sour cream and rice.I actually used the salsa to spice up the burrito a little. Each table gets chips and salsa.I was here for 55 minutes before i got my food. It was hot. One and half hour later I was out the door.I actually had to get up and walk to counter to get a refill on my soda.Again, short staff. Not mad at em. But I had higher expectations.

Great service, decent food, good atmosphere

Amazing margaritas, great food, service was nice, but everything was disgustingly dirty; the menus, silverware, glasses, table and condiment holder, the chairs and seating.

Food is overpriced for what you get. $50 for 2 meals and it wasn't very good.

Great food and service, and friendly, accommodating staff. Will definitely return!

I’ve had the fish fry and burgers at the pines and both were made fresh and great tasting. Service was fast and they were very attentive to refills and requests. Definitely will go back!

It's unfinished and in transition, so don't believe everything you read on the website! Still, great potential here. Super service, and the space will be very nice when finished. The meatball sandwich is FANTASTIC in every way.

We have been coming to this location since it was King's Table. I sure hope this new place makes it.The Chicken Alfredo was excellent and so was the broasted chicken dinner. Portion size is just right and the prices are very fair.The interior is still the pleasant family atmosphere of the old King's Table. They have added a lot of outside seating which looks pleasant.They have spent time cleaning and the carpet and everything looks and smells clean and fresh.The staff is very friendly and helpful, but they need more help. Why is good staff so hard to find?We shall return.

Best burger I've had in a long time that I actually woke up the next day craving another one! The dining area inside was closed but the beer garden was open and we were able to order food from our table outside, which is nice considering I have 3 children, 2 of which who like to run around all day. And although I was worried that my kids running around would disturb people, all of the staff, even customers were very friendly and reassuring. So much so that I was able to actually relax and enjoy my food which is a pretty rare thing to do when going out with 3 children. All in all I am very happy with this place!

Waitress was polite. That's the only positive comment I can make about this place. An hour and 45 minutes for 4 burgers and not sure why they bothered asking how we wanted them done.

Our family reserved the party room for our moms 85th Birthday Party. We had 35 people that were coming. Earlier in the day we reached out to the event manager to give the final head count. Later in the day we received a text from the New manager, whom knew nothing of the scheduled event.The message stated …“Due to the fact that the owner cannot keep a manager and has been through more general managers in 4 months then he has in the past year unfortunately we have no staff to take care of the event that was planned for tomorrow.”That certainly put us in a bind… what do you do with the 35 guests that were invited.This facility is owned by an “absent owner” who lives in Milwaukee and from other messages has issues keeping staff.I wouldn’t recommend this place; very unreliable.

Service was good, the food was not. They do not have a dedicated cook and my entire parties' food was a grease pit. Made my mom sick.
