Blink and you'll miss it! Or if you happen to see it you may think nothing of it and never stop by. Both these would be a mistake! My husband and his dad discovered this gem last year after literally decades of visiting their family cabin in Minocqua. It has some of the best food and best prices. They love the pizza and Old Fashioneds! More recently, I visited for the first time and had my parents also. Two people at our table ordered the Reuben sandwich and agreed it was one of the best, perhaps THE best, Reuben's they've had. The brat burger was loved by my dad since it was so unique and my baked cod was cooked perfectly and not over seasoned. My side of mixed "seasonal veggies" I'm pretty sure were of the frozen variety, so that was not so thrilling but again, I give them props on the fish. If you go when the weather is nice be sure to sit out back on their patio. It's a very serene backyard feel with lots of trees and a stream. Our server went above and beyond for us to make sure we had what we needed and was on top of things during our whole stay. We highly recommend this place!

Awesome northwoods bar, good food, great staff. My wife, daughter, and I had a burger, wrap, and fried pickles for an app. Everything was great. Looks like they are located right off a river and snowmobile trail so great place to stop if you're passing by on kayak or sled!

Been coming here for over 30 years and it's still a family fave. Tonight was no exception to the wonderful experience we always have. We overheard the staff working overtime to make every table feel welcome and appreciated. It was packed solid--- and they did everything they could to get us a table without rushing their other guests. Pizza was hot and delicious and the old fashioneds were on point. 10/10 recommend this northwoods neighborhood pizza joint and bar. It will always be our go-to. Especially with the kiddos.

Great food, service and location. Always friendly. I usually get the cod but decided to try their beef sandwich. It was also excellent.

Good food! One of our favorite places to stop by while snowmobiling. On Hey 70 west Just off Shish

Actually have never been there, but definitely going soon! I did notice that some of the "1" reviews bitching about the Black Bear receiving Covid money were from people from New York, Virginia, etc. so I'm guessing they never stepped into the place. Hoping that people give them a fair chance. It's tough enough to run a restaurant/bar without Haters trying to wreck your business.

Brandy Old Fashioned spot on! Great menu, fish fry every day!! Drink buckets are awesome!

Solid menu. Friendly service. Dog-friendly landscaped patio with umbrellas..... what more could you ask for?! Our party of four had cod plates, cod sandwiches and chopped chicken salad. Everything was fine to perfection! Tasty, reasonably priced. Don't let the bar atmosphere scare you.... It's actually pretty cool inside. Owners: people vacationing up here are really searching for dog friendly restaurants. You need to really boost that huge advantage you have over other places. Food was awesome too!! Patio was so cute!

Had an opportunity to stop into a place that haven't been to for many years. Hasn't changed much... but that's a great thing! Located about 8 miles west of one of the vacation hubs (Minocqua) in Northern Wisconsin. This place is always busy. (Even in the "off season" of late September). Location is one of the reasons it's busy, but the other and most importantly is that it's great food! Tonight I had the Full Rack of Ribs. Comes with a potato, soup or salad and slaw for $24. Ribs were great! Very neatly and fell off the bone... no knife needed to eat this meal. I have also hear that the breakfasts are awesome. And I noticed a lot of people coming in for their pizza. Had a great time with the locals and the bartender (Kay) was very enjoyable. She told us to come back on a Tuesday Night. They have a cash only night with a limited menu and drink specials. The staff dresses in kilts and add a little more "attitude" to their interactions with the customers. Fun place, good food and great service. Need to check the Black Bear out!
