Great Food and Brew In A Place out of the Northwoods
We really like this place, especially since we relocated here from the north, not far from the Wisconsin northwoods. And the food and drink never disappoint. We happened to be there during Happy Hour which is offered Monday through Friday 3 – 6, and the HH specials include $1.00 off draft beers, $1.00 smoked wings, $5.00 moonshine cocktail of the day. I started off with a Landshark for $5 and ended with a Dark Messenger porter for $7 (prices after HH discount). We saw Smokey Pork Rinds ($4.00) on the appetizer menu and asked our server about them. She said they were fried to order so we had to try them. If these were fried to our order, they sat in the kitchen window for quite some time as they were just a hair warmer than room temp. They did have smokey seasoning and were super crunchy. I think we have to try them again. My wife had the Brisket Reuben ($19.00). A plentiful amount of sliced brisket and pastrami with all the other reuben ingredients on toasted rye. And the included fries on the side were twice fried with that crunchy outside and pillowy soft inside. I had six of the $1 ea. Smokey Chicken Wings. I don’t think there is any flavor or sauce option. They came out as smoked bbq’d wings. I did get both ranch and blue cheese dressing for dipping at no charge, but no celery or carrots even offered. The wings were good. Moist, smoked and tasty. Parking around there isn’t always easy, but circle around and something should open. We’ll go back. There are a few more menu items we want to try.

Decent food. Bad service.
The burnt end starter was not good. Very fatty and the Texas toast was burned. Brisket tacos were very good. Highly suggest getting them. Service was awful which is why I only have it 3 stars. Our server ghosted us. Needed refills etc and she was no where. Never checked on us.
