The atmosphere and location have a lot of potential, but unfortunately the menu leaves a bit to be desired, especially for a bar and grill. Right now, many of the staples you’d typically expect are missing.
Adding more classic comfort foods would go a long way, especially given the location. Items like meatloaf or brats with kraut feel like natural fits and would really lean into the up north vibe. Wild rice based dishes also feel like a must, particularly during the colder months. Hearty comfort foods such as chicken pot pie, shepherd’s pie, or open faced hot beef or hot turkey sandwiches with mashed potatoes and gravy would really elevate the menu. A loaded baked potato would also be a great addition.
For something a little more fun and uniquely up north, an “Up North Sampler” platter (i.e., cup of soup, half grilled cheese or mini patty melt quarter, mini chicken pot pie or pot pie filling with biscuit, and pulled pork or hot beef slider with gravy) or a “Flight of Hotdishes” lets guests try a few classic comfort dishes in one order and could be standout options.
A few additional salad options for lighter fare would also help round things out. Options like a chopped chicken salad, a Cobb-style salad, or a wild rice and cranberry salad would all complement the menu nicely and still fit the overall theme.
Soup offerings are another area that could be strengthened, as the only time soup seems to be offered is if it’s the special. A soup of the day paired with a rotating staple such as tomato, French onion, or chicken noodle would be especially appealing, particularly during the colder months.
One other thought, the local grocery store makes fantastic homemade pizzas, and it would be great to see the Woodshed support a local business by serving those. The pizzas currently offered are mediocre at best and feel comparable to frozen options like Jack’s or Tombstone, which doesn’t match the potential of the space.
Right now, the great servers and the setting are doing most of the heavy lifting. Introducing more variety and a few standout dishes, especially those that embrace classic comfort food and an up-north feel, would elevate the entire experience. With a more distinctive menu to match the great service, the Woodshed could truly shine.

Some of the best food around.
The specials are always so delicious. I’ve been to some of the top tier restaurants around here and I can say the owner could out cook any of those chefs.

Stopped in from sledding for a quick beer and a break. The bartender was right on us and served an excellent IPA pour! Thanks again for the hospitality. Great Bar. Hooey on tap is crazy good beer!

Stopped in for lunch while on the road for work. Great place off the beaten path with a diverse menu. Our server was very friendly, checked on us numerous times and the food came out quick. Ordered a Chicken Cesar wrap with regular fries and my coworker order the Buffalo chicken wrap with sweet potato fries. Food tasted great! Will definitely be back.

Ate there while visiting the area for bow hunting 3 times and had great food each time. Was surprised at how good the sirloin and asparagus was (didn’t expect that in a small town bar/restaurant) and the garlic wings were as good as I’ve ever had. And I’ve eaten wings in hundreds of places…including some that are well known for them.

Great little town bar with really great beer and food offerings. Kids loved the billiards and darts. Was impressed with the menu and service, very comfortable and welcoming.

Great Bar/Restaurant in the north. Service was very good, food was great, and we got to shoot a game of pool with lunch. I will stop again if in the area and will tell my friends as well.

Delicious food, but they should be a little more active with their online presence on Google as far as updating their menu, posting the hours and days they are open anytime it changes etc.
It’s usually jumping through a lot of hoops to get the current menu online, but even if they just had a website that was up to date, I’m sure they would get more takeout orders.

I would recommend this bar to anyone that will hear me talk about it. I asked for a mojito, and Chase went out of his way to drive all the way into Walker to get mint for my special drink as well as the cherry flavored gushers that I requested. See picture below for my special drink! I’ve never had a mojito like this before! I will definitely be back in the next few business days.
