7 Best American Restaurants near Minocqua

“First visit to Lake Placid Inn was fun & delicious. Love the authentic "honesty" and relationship building. The sweetest thing you may encounter is the complimentary donut holes. I had the Loons Nest(formerly the Weed Bed) smothered in sausage gravy, bacon, raisin toast, with a perfect Bloody Mary. She had the eggs Benedict with ham. Served piping hot, our food was delicious. We enjoyed the "entertainment" almost as much as our food. If you're into "Hi, my name is ____, I'll be your server today" - this is not your place. If you like Seinfeld, you'll probably enjoy Lake Placid Inn. Hope I don't see you there as I don't like to wait.“

“My husband and I were craving a fish fry and just happened upon this place on our way through to Wausau. We were both very pleased to be seated by the window overlooking the lake. The interior is classy, our service was fantastic, the food came fast and delicious! We had calamari and walleye bites appetizers. We both enjoyed the fish fry we were craving.“

“Sheri’s the great Northwoods Soup and Salad Bar experience perfect! I was so excited to get there! 2 home made soups that were delicious. A beautifully kept salad bar with perfectly sliced veggies to jazz your salad up. Every wonderful dressing you could hope for plus a yummy pasta salad. Throw a little cottage cheese on top and you will be smiling! Grab the menu and pick from daily specials or menu favorites. Every dish has been spectacular and our bartender was wonderful! Each time we have had a nice and friendly upbeat drink master crafting our bevs. ❤️☀️“

“Pretty solid stop passing through up north. Embodies a proper Irish pub.Food: they’re known for their Ruben sandwiches/wraps. It was pretty good. Huge serving for $16. $3 to swap chips for fries - which are absolute crack. We also got the fried cauliflower for an app - def a recommendation. Now, id stay away from there wraps here. Partner wasn’t a fan - a bit vinegary and bland.Service: it all ended up working out. She wasn’t real focused and making her job a lot harder than it had to be. Nothing terrible though.Atmosphere:Such a cool spot. Plenty of dark hard wood throughout. Big bar. Large booths. Lots of late sunshine pokes in too.“

“The food was really good. Cheese curds and pretzel bites were on point! Kids weren't keen on the crispy fries, but I liked them. Chowder and the Blackened Grouper were very tasty.Excellent service and kid friendly atmosphere!!Kid-friendliness: Lots of arcade type games and the view kept the kids entertained.“

“Went on a Sunday around 4:45 pm. I don't believe they have a hostess for Sundays, so we just asked one of the waitresses and she said "just seat yourselves". Once we sat down another waitress came over promptly to get us our drinks. We both ordered the ribeye steak medium rare. The steak was cooked perfectly, it was like cutting through butter. Salad bar wasn't bad either. The potato, bacon and ham soup was to die for. Definitely will be back again..“

“Crickets food is great! Chris and John make you feel comfortable and always treat you well. Cindy is one of the best bartenders that make any true Wisconsin drink outstanding. Broasted Chicken the best in the midwest and the Chicken Alfredo is absolutely delicious. Better then some high end restaurants!!! Not the greatest atmosphere on the outside, but don't judge them by their cover.“
