Pine Tree Supper Club

The menu is fairly standard - other than the addition of pizza - and the food is pretty good including a good sized salad bar.  I'm not a huge fan of the salad bar and its many items that sit there for hours but at Pine Tree it seems decent.  The pizza was homemade and pretty good, kind of in between thin and thick crust, solid pizza but nothing really outstanding to my palate other than maybe the addition of parmesan cheese on the crust.  We may be back at some point, but I prefer the pizza at Twin Bay Resort and the Supper Club experience & food at Bootlegger's and The Silver Birch.  Pine Tree Supper Club is an A-OK restaurant though and worth a visit if you're in downtown Tomahawk.

We came here on recommendation from the hotel where we were staying. This bar/restaurant is located in the old downtown section of town. We had driven through downtown (about two blocks long) on previous trips and had not been impressed with anything we saw there. So, we came here with low expectations. The outside looks like any other old town bar. We had come for an early dinner. When we walked inside we were in the bar. it looked better than we had expected. We were led the adjoining dining room and were amazed! It was a very clean, and tastefully decorated dining room like you would expect to find in a nice restaurant. The room reflected the local heritage of the former lumber industry that this town was originally based on. On light wood planked walls hung professional framed old photos of various aspects of the local lumber industry. On the walls and from the ceiling hung lumbering implements. From the ceiling also hung high-tech, modern, curved brushed nickel metal strip track lighting on which various small halogen accent light fixtures were attached. The carpet was a dark green, that could have been chosen to go with the forest theme. Along the walls were new, modern light-colored wooden booths, with padded backs and privacy screens separating each booth. In the center of the room was a large rolling salad bar stocking with the usual sorts of salad veggies. (Unfortunately, the only lettuce available was chopped iceberg lettuce...No spinach or mixed greens.)

The menu was presented nicely printed on high-quality paper and in a professional leatherette menu folder. The menu selection was large, which included, seafood (both fried and broiled), steaks, chicken, burgers, sandwiches, salads, and, surprisingly, pizza! We noticed that the pizza ("Penguin Pizza"...Nickname of the cook who made it.) was made with dough, sauce and sausage that is all made from scratch, in-house. We hd to try it! The menu said the pizza took 45 minutes to make, but we had nothing else going on, so we went for it.!

The waitress brought out the pizza a full 45 minutes later...I looked great...and smelled great, too! It was a not quite a deep dish pizza...More of a medium dish pizza. We had order the pizza with their special sausage, fresh mushrooms, fresh tomato, and onions. It was delicious! The pizza was thickly covered with both mozzarella and cheddar cheeses. (Even though "extra cheese" was available as an extra topping, i don't know why anyone would need it!) The crust was very crisp, even in the center! (Unlike the soft centers found in many of the cheap chain pizzas.) The crust also had parmesan cheese baked into it, too! WOW!

On our next visit to Tomahawk, this is definitely a restaurant we will visit again! The service was friendly, the atmosphere was nice and the pizza was fantastic!

First timer, very satisfied!
