I drive there from Minocqua on a Thursday morning expecting to have breakfast or lunch around 11 am. When I arrived, the waiter inside told me they closed early today. They normally close at 1:30 pm she said and didn't give any explanation. Besides, the driveway from Hwy 51 is a challenge when entering or exiting this property. I didn't eat food here under the new owner/management and will give them an average score for food. However, for service and atmosphere they get the lowest rating possible from me. There are better restaurants closer to Minocqua to visit where I can spend my money and not waste gas money driving here and will cross Northern Cafe & Motel off my list.

If you are not going to be open during the hours stated in your phone message-CHANGE THE MESSAGE! As a full-time resident it is frustrating to drive to a business only to find it closed during advertised hours.
The owner was very nice, very understanding, friendly! Great food! Cozy little restaurant ❤️

Great breakfasts!
Got the eggs Benedict special. On a biscuit with ham. Little different, lots of sauce, but good. If you like crispy hash browns this is your place!

First off I almost left because even though the table had been cleaned it was still dirty. Seemed inconvenienced when I politely asked if they could wipe it down again. I got an eye roll and a big sigh. The food was pretty good 7/10 but nothing that blew us out of the water. Our server was good 8/10. What really was annoying though was hearing the owner gossiping with some people at nearby table. The owner and the person were both super negative and it made our experience suffer. It was really uncomfortable hearing them gossip about someone who was not there to defend themselves. If not for that I would have given it 4/5. Atmosphere matters and negativity really bring an experience down.
True Up North!!!
