Out of all the years I’ve been going to The Deck Bar, this was by far the worst experience I’ve ever had. The service was incredibly slow and unorganized, the staff seemed overwhelmed and uninterested, and the overall atmosphere felt chaotic and not enjoyable. It’s really disappointing to see how much it’s gone downhill. this visit left a bad taste — literally and figuratively. Hoping management takes this feedback seriously and gets things back on track. Not to mention the food was terrible as well.

I hadnt been here in years but decided to give it a shot because of the patio and supposed new management. Red flag 1: its noon on saturday of Memorial Day and there is 1 out of roughly 40 tables filled with patrons. Despite being completely empty it took 10 minutes for someone to even come to our table. When we finally ordered it took another 45 minutes to actually get our food. I have no clue what the cook staff was busy doing since it was empty. When the food finally came it was incredibly disappointing. The fish and chips was the worst I have ever had. The fish was distinctly triangular shaped, clearly shaped that way for shipping frozen in a box. The fries were soggy and barely warm. No one else at the table liked their food either. My wife ordered a burger with a gluten free bun and after the waiter assured us he would bring a gluten free bun it came without one. The prices were absurd – over $20 for every single entree including the burger, fish tacos, fish and chips – everything. When it came time to pay the registers werent working and we needed to wait an extra 15 minutes to pay. All around an awful experience with the exception of the beautiful weather.
Dear new management, coming in and making the food and service worse while simultaneously jacking up the prices is not a recipe for success. I will not be back despite having a cabin on the chain. Back to Zorbaz and Lure I guess.

Horrendous service while there were only 12 people there. Close to an hour for food. Food came in 15 minute increments for 3 of us. Food was way over priced and it was terrible. No background music just heard the bartender that was obnoxiously loud. I’d rate zero stars if it was possible.

Came here for a conference and tried this restaurant. I was one of the only people here on a Tuesday night around 7pm. I ordered the Walleye Sandwich, fries, and a Surly Furious beer. The Sandwich was good but was a little blan – hard to complain after adding tartar sauce to it though. The fries were some of my favorite – perfect crunch and flavor. The beer was brought out with an ice cold glass which was much appreciated. The service was on par and no complaints. The ambience was great, especially with the views of the lake during sunset. Worth noting was the menu didn’t include a wide variety of options and prices looked high but the quantity matched the pricing. The Walleye Sandwich with fries was $17 and the beer was $5.50. I would eat here again.

Cute little outdoor food/bar area located in the Arrowwood Resort. To get there, you need to enter through the main doors of the resort and go down the stairs to the pool. Go through the doors to the pool, and there should be a gate that will lead you down further to the seating area. You do not need to be a just at the resort to be able to eat here.
The view is gorgeous. You’re out on a patio surrounded by the lake. The service I received was also very good! However, the food was lacking depth. I got the chicken tacos. It was the equivalent of the seasoning packet tacos my mom used to make us as kids. It was served with tortilla chips and (probably) El Paso salsa. Plates, drinkware, & cutlery were plastic one-time use.
To sum up my experience, I would say it’s like an elevated picnic at the lake. Prices were low & the view was beautiful, so overall I would recommend! They also have a huge drink list with lots of specials, so if you were just wanting to have a drink and enjoy a beautiful view, this would be a great spot as well.

I enjoyed pulling up with the boat and grabbing an appetizer and a Bloody Mary. We stopped on a Wednesday afternoon, at the time was pretty slow so plenty of room to grab a table.

I don’t often leave reviews but I came here with my friends and it was one of the worst dining experiences I ever had. The poor servers clearly were not set up for success by management. Our server accidentally used the wrong card for the wrong tab and there was no manager there to help? It’s the Fourth of July weekend and there’s no manager on site? Eventually after our sweet server was close to tears, she pulled out money from her own pocket to pay the difference. After the change of ownership this place is extremely unpleasant. Terrible experience and insane prices!

Did love the atmosphere and service was great. However ordered the Sunfish appetizer and it was so awful I didn’t finish it. And they charge $20 for it! The breading was very plain, no seasoning, like it was battered in breadcrumbs only. Then it came out with a huge pile of fries enough for 2-3 orders, not that a lot of ppl would mind that but appetizers don’t typically come with a side. Also, even the fries were awful as well. It had a styrofoam texture to it. Like I said earlier, great antmosphere and great service but for the love of god don’t serve that to anyone else and check the other items in your menu.

We were there on May 24th afternoon on the deck. We have been going there for years, but unfortunately the quality of the food and the overall service has really gone south from its past great days. This new ownership really needs to step it up if they plan to get folks out to participate in their restaurant experience. Turn this business around please it used to be a great place to go.

The service was terrible, we waited 30 minutes to order food after we ordered drinks, and it wasn’t even busy, she just took her time. Same with our food, and checks. In total we were there for 2 hours when we we just trying to eat and leave…
The food was pretty expensive, and it wasn’t that great either.
The management have to wake up, because this place is gonna lose them lots of money if they don’t do anything about these complaints.
