Our first visit but will definitely be back !!! I had the Firebird Turkey sandwich and it was probably the best Sandwich I have ever had. Highly recommend trying it ! FYI...It is not overly hot like the name might sound. Just the perfect hint of spice and so juicy. Staff is great also !

Friendly folks, great food, fantastic atmosphere.

The food here was amazing! Had the pork belly bites with maple best part of the meal.

Literally the best food I've had in the north woods thus far! I already cannot wait to come back! You have to try their cherry smoked wings & their sugar bombs (I believe they were called) literally CRACK!! Thanks for the awesome grub & good time

Jim and family were so glad to see us! We ordered pizzas last night after a long day and they set us up so good! Our bellies were full! Excellent food and staff! Love your MN friends

Great up north pub! Up north feel but with amazing bbq. We both had the Fire bird sandwich. Best turkey sandwich I have ever had! Can't wait to return and try more! Wish we would of tried the first night of our stay at the twin river resort.

Weve been traveling for 3 months on the motorcycle and this, by far, is the BEST pizza we've had! Large meat lovers with so much cheese and large chunks of meat!! Service was amazing :) Kudos to the cook!! Ty

Fabulous place, awesome service, great beer selection, and amazing food! (Get the Pork Belly Bites)
