This is the third time we showed up with a larger group 14, but we call ahead. Seated ourserves, and were visited by our waitress for drinks. Giving her some she paid attention when each set of guests arrived and took their drink orders. Then the turtle crawl back to our section stated. Orders finally taken, no offer for drink or soft drink refills as offered, even after food came. Maybe she did not like our end of the table! Food was ok, and 5 shrimp dinner contained fore than a 1-2 bite butterfly shrimp. No, we have no idea where they were from.
Others at table walked to bar to get drinks/refills and were perturbed. When we finally tracked our waitress down to get checks, it's was a long enough wait to get our cc's back where 4 of us went to look for her and found her bewildered staring at a cc porcessing maching with papers and cc's lying around. She was able to give half of the cards back with a wrong copy of the bill so we each checked our receipt to be sure the right food and cc# were matched.
One other visit earlier in year was ok, (not same waitress) albiet with a smaller group

We absolutely loved this place!! We were told to go here by a waitress at another restaurant, even!! You enter and walk down a big staircase in to the bar area. Nice touch. We had the fried pickles appetizer which was maybe the best we have ever had. The Flying Canoe wrap was fantastic. Pulled pork, slaw and bbq sauce. Yum!! We will be back for sure!
Review Source:Although this place can come off as your typical bar with typical bar food I.e. burgers, sandwiches, wings, beer,etc. it is easy to commute to by lake and land. During the day it is a family friendly environment with lots of games for kids and menu variety and at night it turns into the best spot on the chain and in the Crosslake area during the summer and holiday weekends for some dance floor action and drinks! Deejays JP and various other talent get the music going while customers meet, drink, and party all night long.
A great restaurant and bar for all ages and always a good time.
Menu items:
Pretzel poppers
Canoe wrap
Buffalo chicken wings/wrap
Burger
Bartenders: Will always give you good service as long as you are respectful and show that you are having a good time!
Servers: always a young upbeat crowd of women who are there to serve you and take your order
Seating: outdoor and indoor both are great, I recommend outdoor if you can get a table, the scenery is great if the weather is fitting. Outdoor and indoor bar service available
I agree with others on this bar-cougar city! Â When you first walk in, you enter down a staircase into the bar, for alll to watch you appear. Â I kinda liked it, but my friends thought that was a great way for everyone to rate you before you really even got into the bar area! Â I would also add that there happened to be a front row section of old men who pulled their bar stools almost to the dance floor as if there was a show going on. Â They never said a word to each other, just kept ordering beers and staring at the ladies dance, as it if was all for them! Â I was out here for a bachelorette party at a friends cabin and this was one of the bars on our list to stop. Â I had been here before in the past, but this really seems to have become the Saturday night dance club of the north! Â All kinds of peeps come out to play here!
Excellent people watching! Some come in their hunting gear and some come dressed to the nine trying to score a date with a rich cabin owner! Â Only go here Saturday nights if you don't mind being googled by some characters!
Drink here, do not eat here. This is where a lot of the locals go, but the service is really crappy and the food is frequently disappointing. If you want the same style of food (burgers, sandwiches, fries, etc.) and the bar, go to the Wharf.
(Also, why does it smell like cat pee when you first walk through the doors? Seriously have been trying to figure that out for the past 2 years.)
Are you a "Cougar" or a "Cougar Hunter" or want to be hunted by a cougar, then stop by here on a Saturday night. You'll have some good music, a dance floor and middle-aged women that will be on the prowl for some young men to have some fun with.
Sure it has a decent menu and it is a great spot to stop off on your tour of the lakes, but if you want to have a rocking good time and fist pump like the jersey shore, check it out on a Saturday night.
They have a monstrous number of sandwiches and appetizers on their menu so, if you're looking for something in particular in the "Americana" vein, you should be satisfied.
The interior is spacious and open with a lot of "exposed timbers" in a sort of Northwoods way, which is cool.
The service I've had there has been consistently patchy and disappointing, but the parking lot is full so they have to be doing something right.
If you're on the chain, they have a lot of ties so you should be able to find a spot.
