This place is literally in the middle of nowhere! However, it is nicely decorated in a rustic fashion and well frequented. The food and drinks are very good and reasonably priced.

In the middle of somewhere not so far away. Just outside of Denmark, WI. Butter burgers, chili, jalapeno poppers were all excellent. Bartender was excellent waitress and food was prompt. Part of Krolls family some way.

First time visit for me.. It was a group of 8 seniors citizens out for our weekly lunch. Service was great and meals were suberb and appropriately priced. I really enjoyed my double mushroom burger and onion rings, and a Guinness to drink. All in all a wonderful and memorable experience i will definitely be going there in the future. Mahalo!!

This place is an absolute hidden gem. My friend took me here after we went to the shooting range and I'm blown away at how amazing this place is. The burgers were incredible and so were the pepper jack cheese curds. I've never seen those before! I'm blown away at how affordable the prices are too. I had a burger, cheese curds and a bottled root beer for only 11 and they were all portioned generously. Can't beat that anywhere nowadays. I'm definitely coming back, totally worth the drive from Green Bay. Also, the bartenders were so friendly and welcoming!

This is one of the best hidden "dive bars" around. Don't come here expecting a salad, this is well worth the extra calories. We always come for a late lunch and love to eat at the bar versus a table or booth. As we scroll down the menu we end up stopping on the burgers. Oh, the burgers are so good! Now these aren't your dried out pucks, they are juicy, buttery and flavorful. I highly recommend the bacon cheeseburger. Stopped in on a Saturday night and tried the 6 oz. steak and seafood, 1 with shrimp (medium-large, 10 of them) and 1 with the seafood sensation (crab with tiny shrimp). Again there was plenty of butter. I believe I accidentally got the wrong steak plate as I ordered medium-rare and got a well done. The bartender realized this as I was cutting the steak and it took her about 2 minutes to replace it and I was back to eagerly tasting everything. Let's talk about the Old Fashioneds...Delicious!! The bar was fairly busy so the bartender made them in tall beer glasses. What an enjoyable way to start your dinner. Expect a sports and hunting atmosphere where you can spend your day doing maintenance around the house and on the spur of the moment decide to stop in for lunch or dinner without having to dress up. The 20-30 price is lunch/dinner with 2 cocktails. This place is well worth the drive.
