Great bar and restaurant tucked into the North woods. If you want great service and some high end, tasty food, this is the place to go. We tried the salmon with house salad and wild rice soup - Excellent! Lots of exposed logs and wood paneling. The Homemade pizza also looks good. The walnut brownie in a little skillet with ice cream was awesome.

It took a couple of years but we finally found the time to stop in on the UTV. Reminded us somewhat of a supper club with the decor and how it's laid out. Best of all the food is to die for, they even have wagyu beef on the menu. I had the jammin burger my wife the ruben, both were exceptional. If you're in the area you need to stop in and check it out.

A hidden gem, for sure! We were out for a drive and stumbled upon this place. We initially were going to have a quick appetizer and keep driving, but their menu looked too good to pass up. I indulged in a Key Lime Martini which tasted like dessert. Then had a side salad with their Honey Basalmic Glazed Salmon and (must have) shrimp. My boyfriend had their meat lovers pizza. We both loved the service, atmosphere, and food. Prices were also very reasonable. Will definitely be back!

Are you kidding me? This is the best bad ass steak I have ever had at a restaurant! Flavor was absolutely awesome ! Although my wife cooks better rare beef steak on our woodfired grill., yes, it was just real good. Beautiful old Wisconsin atmosphere ! Staff is just wonderful ! I hate to leave reviews like this because too many people will come here and I might not get in again . But there is fair. These people are just wonderful. !

Food was great. Mussels and clams appetizer for the table. My husband was skeptical about ordering mussels for appetizers but at the end he loved it anyways. They all have good flavors. Most of us ordered walleye dinner special for that day. All the different flavors was to the liking of every each of us who ordered different spices. The tartar sauce was really good and it did complimented with the walleye. The rice had good flavor but it was a bit too wet. My mom ordered Reuben sandwich and she loved it. The fries needed a little more frying as she stated but it has good flavor as well. We all ordered cocktails and everything was great and had ample amount of alcohol in it. Service was great, our server was very attentive to us and provided us a good service for 10 people. She was great in suggestive selling. The ambience on the place was cool, it did fit the cabin look inside and outside. Place was pack when we came and needed us to wait to sit 10 people. The air conditioning system wasnt working that made it a little too warm with so much people in there. Overall, we agreed we’ll definitely visit it again when were up in the area.

Came upon The Shack randomly when we were staying very close by at a Cabin on Moose Lake. We pulled in for happy hour on a Thursday afternoon and had a delicious onion bloom, crab wontons and the absolute best hand-dipped cheese curds. Trust, we have had our fair share of Wisconsin cheese curds. There was an entire “hand-dipped” section of the menu, which was very much appreciated. We decided to make a reservation for the Friday night fish fry and it did not disappoint. The walleye was perfectly cooked and the seasoning was one of the best our family has tried. The homemade tartar sauce was “top one” ever. Do not at me on that. It’s facts. The pizza, drinks, beer selection, and atmosphere was top notch. Leann the owner and server made us feel like when we were there, we were family. This is a place that if you are hunting and fishing in Wisconsin, you will want to try.
