"Staff was very friendly and funny, had a great atmosphere. Food and drink were delicious. I am obsessed with French onion soup and it was some of the best that I have ever had its absolutely sinful!!! And the bloody mary was on point!"

"We had the most wonderful meal. The atmosphere was absolutely charming and beautiful and the bartender. Amanda was so polite and got our drinks in a timely manner. Served up our food. Had pleasant conversation. If you want an excellent meal in Winter Wisconsin, you need to go to the Big Bear Lodge... You will not be disappointed"

"What a fantastic dining experience. Amazing service and unpretentious fine dining in the heart of northern Wisconsin. We had the glazed pork belly along with the firecracker shrimp appetizers which are both made in house. Followed that up with a main course of their prime rib. All amazing. Can’t wait to go back and have the 1/2 Peking Duck."

"After being seated by the bartender, she took our order for a beer and glass of wine. I asked for a Pinot bc they didn’t have moscato or white zin and she suggested the Pinot if I wanted a white wine. My Pinot comes as a red wine to the table. So I had to get a white wine bc I get migraines from red. Two waitresses taking care of four tables. We waited 15 minutes for the drinks to come and finally asked a waitress at the table next to us for our drinks. This still took awhile to get. I realize the waitresses were bringing out food, but not a word was said to us for another 20 minutes or more. Finally our waitress said in passing that it’ll be just a few minutes bc the kitchen was catching up and I get that, however, she could have still taken the order?? But anyways the prime was okay except my boyfriend got the 16 oz and his was half, if not more, fat. I ordered medium rare and said more on the rare side and it was medium. Food could have been hotter. Is the price for mushrooms and onions on the menu bc that was a $7 we wouldn’t have spent. Pretty pricy for what you get."

"Ate out on the deck and absolutely loved the view. The food was decent. Prices were a little high, but when you’re the only game in the area it makes sense. The service was quick and our server was nice. We also took advantage of their wood for sale since we were staying at LOTP @ Flambeau"
