    Another wonderful meal at a local neighborhood gem. The walleye was superb with wild rice as was the full rack of BBQ ribs. Like a supper club you get a dish of their special garlic chips snd choice of two soup salad potato veggie with your meal. Rolls are also offered at the meal. Quiet evening to celebrate our anniversary toasted with a litre of their special Pandl Brau!!! ❤️❤️❤️

    Decor is extremely dated. Looked exactly the same as when we were there 25 years ago. And it looked old and tired then. Potato crusted fish was cold. We choose not to complain when other diners are within earshot. Baked potatoes were extremely small, and would stay hotter longer if wrapped in foil. Good thing was, they were actually cooked through. Tartar sauce needs a lot of help. Start with pickle relish and white balsamic vinegar. Then stir in Duke’s mayonnaise. Our waitress, Bailey, was delightful. Be nice to her. Website online says you get a veggie. We did not. You need to fix that.

    Service was very poor. A single waitress appeared to cover the whole dining room. Very late delivery of food and mix up on both drink and food order. Food was Average to below average quality and general appearance of restaurant seems to show tiredness and neglect which is sad for such an iconic location and historic restaurant in the Community.

    We had heard about this restaurant we arrived and found it very difficult for my wife to get in with her walker floor uneven no ramps. The food we ordered steak sandwich came out it wasn't tender and the toast wasn't even buttered. I had a salad that was okay very disappointed
