Sportsman's Landing is a great little find on the banks of Wind Lake. Nothing fancy, but they shine through with great, friendly service and quality grub. I had hot wings and shared potato skins with another member of the group. The wings were good, spicy but not overwhelming, and crispy too. The potato skins were also a nice treat, topped with a generous helping of bacon. Can't go wrong there, who doesn't love bacon? Overall, Sportsman's Landing is just a good little spot for quality pub food and friendly, quick, service from a great staff.
Review Source:Be careful if you order take out! Their menu says "Great Food To Go" but they may charge you extra. They do not advertise a To Go fee of $.50 per item and may alter menu prices for carry out. Â
I enjoyed a fish fry here and had a good experience, so I decided to order take out from their menu online. Â I Â placed my order and was told it would be ready in ten minutes. When I arrived I was told my order cost much more than I expected. When I inquired, I was told they not only do not honor the daily special for take out but they charge a higher price than on the regular menu for food, PLUS a TO GO fee . The bartender informed me they changed their prices and have not had a chance to change the menus. I was polite and willing to pay, I just wanted to know what I was paying for.
30 minutes after I placed my order, my food was ready and the bartender was nice enough to charge the advertised price, but then when I got home I realized they shorted me the amount of food I was supposed to get!
When I got home, I looked at the To Go menu she gave me and it says in fine print on the bottom, "prices and menu items subject to change without notice" I guess they reserve the right to charge you whatever they feel like...
Sportsman's Landing is one of those hidden hole in the wall places where your belly and wallet are happy. The place has unassuming chairs, a typical bar and pool table area.
First, I was amazed and happy with the drink prices. They had a really good honey whiskey to try.
The food tastes homemade, as if you are in someone's home kitchen. I had the prime rib sandwich, which was gigantic. I'm very picky about prime rib. Usually, it tastes like a giant slab of flavorless meat, as if you are foraging in a forest with civilization miles away. This prime rib is tender like butter, and has a great spice mixture that is neither spicy nor overly salty, just flavorful.
I hear their chili is outstanding. Can't wait to go back. I imagine it will get really busy in the summer with the boat landing.
