Moved away, haven't been there in years, someone recently reminded us they have great Walleye FF, so had to make the trip.
Great timing as it was Shelly's last night of bar tending after 20+ years. Plus we met some old friends and fun newbies as well. Had a blast taking our special friend there for his 74th bday. Winner place!"

"Lov your food 🍕🍕🍕and the service is exceptional.
Hi Richie and Lisa!
Lov you both ❤️❤️"
"Old fashioned looking 'up north' bar and restaurant...that's what always pops into my head when I visit. The place - with its knotty pine walls - has a good vibe to it. They are famous for their thin crust pizza - which is the only item I have ever eaten there. Good pizza and good drinks. You won't be sorry for stopping by!"
"Whoever makes the salad is the bomb. He should be promoted to highest ranking officer. I've had so many salads and this salad was the best. crunchies were amazing and I would come here every time I wanted a salad. It was perfectly glazed with the most amazing sauce and it tickled my taste buds. I would love to meet this salad maker and tell them how good of a job they are doing. Please keep this person forever and you should change your restaurant to a salad restaurant and have your salad maker run it. If I wasn't already married i would marry them regardless of their gender so they could make salads at home for me all day."

"Loved it, quaint, clean, friendly staff, very rustic. Just a throwback to days of old in Wisconsin's small towns. Even though it's a short drive out of Milwaukee, my wife and I both commented on how it felt like we were on vacation "up north". Oh, and the food, if you have heard of mama ma's in Milwaukee area, it is basically identical and every bit as good. Excellent Italian dishes and pizza."
