Restaurants near Woodruff

“An old fashioned diner with simple dishes at a fair price. Can’t say anything bad about the place. Waitresses were very friendly, answered questions with ease and checked back enough to make sure we had everything.
Seemed like lots of regulars and the staff was excited to see everyone and made them feel like family.
Food was good, homestyle and was prepared exactly as requested.
Coffee comes in a pitcher for the table so you never have to wait. A nice addition to the Northwoods town.”

“Fantastic place with a cool front garden area and a very cool long bar inside. Sours and seltzers were surprisingly good, refreshing. The beers were solid, great variety.”

“Not only do they have great food and ice cream but the staff is very friendly and welcoming. 😁👍🏼❤️”

“I absolutely love this place. There has been nothing that I have ordered that hasn't been excellent. Today I ordered Salmon with Curry sauce and rice. I can't think of the name of the dish, but man is it good. Their Thai Tea is great as well. If you haven't been, please go there and try it out. Everything is so fresh and fabulous.”

“great people everyone is Friendly”

“The Bloody Mary Bomb created by Happys Pub Is a must try.”

“Great food, prices and service. Limited menu of burgers, pizzas, a chicken sandwich and a steak sandwich. The place is always clean, the staff friendly and prompt, and the burgers delicious. $15 gets you a burger, beer, while leaving a nice tip.”

“Everything is awesome all around five stars👍👍👍👍”

“it's an amazing Family friendly atmosphere. the food and drinks were perfect. I'm definitely bowling next round. Bill, you made the Clubhouse a spot I will always recommend.”

“Shhh it’s still a northwoods bar/grill”

“Best coffee in town! Locally owned and has a convenient drive through!”

“I had a burger and the chippers. Delicious.”

“We’ve had the pleasure of dining here several times…Celebrated birthdays, a couple holidays. Each time I have tried something new, usually one of the nightly specials. My husband primarily sticks with a ribeye. Each time has been excellent from libations, both the non & with alcohol choices (highly recommend the burnt sugar old fashioned) to service. Last night 3/20/2025 was beyond phenomenal….we celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary & were treated like royalty. Serval selection made us feel like we were back in the southern Caribbean on our wedding day. Thank you Chef Joe, grill master-Clyde, stellar server (and dear friend)- Jody and all the other team members for an unforgettable experience/ wonderful evening. Blood Orange Margaritas, Tikka Masala, Caribbean Scallops w/ mango sauce, hand cut Ribeye w/ Maple Bourbon reduction & blue cheese, homemade Coconut Cake w/ grilled pineapple ice. CHEERS!”

“Very good lunch. If you like hot & sour soup, it’s worth the visit for that alone.”

“We made reservations (based on recommendations from other reviews) and really enjoyed the delicious food and cozy atmosphere. A very welcome change from the typical packed supper club vibe that tourist season brings.

I ordered the crab cakes as an appetizer and the tenderloin medallions cooked rare as my main. Both were phenomenal. The tenderloin was fork tender and had so much flavor! Brussel sprouts were perfectly cooked and some of the best I’ve ever had. The house made olive tapenade was so good that I’d be back for that on its own.

Make a reservation & give it a try if you’re looking for some high quality food in a relaxing environment. We’ll definitely be back.”

“Their taco pizza is absolutely amazing! I really love a good taco pizza and it’s hard to find, but this place has it.
The crab Rangoon pizza is absolutely anaxing!

The only item with a lower 4 stars was service, it was long and the waitress was new, so a few mistakes were made, but she was very nice.
The other thing was that they would not split the bill for our party of 11 and would also NOT take more than one credit card. We wanted to give 3 credit cards and just split it even 3 ways, they would not do it. Hey Heart II, you’re not really making it easy for a larger group to get together at your bar.”

“First time eating at Mavericks. We absolutely LOVED it!! So impressed!! The food was FABULOUS!! Really fresh. Our service was great! The staff is so nice!! We were so relaxed and happy with our time spent there. We will definitely be back!! Thank you!!”

“The pancakes are to die for. I’m not a fan of the atypical American pancake. Unfortunately, I’ve had too many experiences where the center is not cooked and it just repulses me. Lida’s pancakes are light and fluffy and about half as thick as an American pancake, they’re not crêpes. Sooooo good. Occasionally, they even run a special with flavored pancakes. Example Carrot Cake Pancakes! Highly recommend. Their avocado toast is the best I’ve had in the area. The Gyro, Steakhouse burger, strawberry chicken salad & BBQ Chicken wrap are also amazing. Be sure to ask for their signature sauce- it’s delicious. All waitstaff are friendly & efficient. Kitchen staff does their best to get the orders out quickly, even when the place is packed. Outdoor dining area is lovely. And if you’re lucky you might be joined by the local wild deer that wander through the yard.”

“Super cute, great food and coffee and nice outdoor area. NOTE, however that it’s not ideal for remote/laptop working. They will ask you to leave, and there aren’t many outlets available. Great for meeting up with a friend or grabbing lunch. If you’re looking for a local cafe from which to work, try Bottled Bean instead.”

“Great place and great service. We will definitely be back!”

“The service was phenomenal from the moment we walked in the door! From the warm welcoming hostess, to the bubbly waitress, the cook staff and the bar staff making everything perfect, we couldn't have asked for anything better. We got exactly what we ordered and the atmosphere was so comfy and welcoming! Will definitely be coming back to try the pizza!! Highly recommend 👌”

“We stopped on our way home from Minocqua. Have driven past for many years and always noticed a lot of cars so had to stop and check it out for lunch. Felt like we were part of the locals. French onion soup was the best I have ever had. Will definitely stop again next trio to the northwoods.”

“In winter its pleasantly warm!. Small but charming. We go there for the FOOD and SERVICE! Fast, Hot incredible flavor and fresh produce. There is meat throughout the whole burrito!! Ask for your stake medium rare and they cook it perfect! Kitchen is open to view. It's CLEAN! They clearly take great pride in preparation! Salsa is very fresh and the chips are not stale! Haven't been in when we weren't treated with a smile!
Thank you Los Portales!

“•••This place is a GEM••• We stopped here last week. We both had the Mediterranean Quiche & split the Salted Pecan Scone. Both were delicious. We wanted every item on the menu & the baked goods/pies looked so darn good in the case. The atmosphere is cozy & comfortable. This will be a regular stop for us heading north. ☕️”
