Thirsty Whale is in a great location right on the water, next to the Min-AquaBats ski show. They have outdoor seating on the ski show side with self-service drinks at the bar. Restaurant seating is on the other side, which feels a great view of the lake.
There’s also plenty of room and some video games inside. You have to get there in plenty of time if you want reservations before the kitchen closes on show days.
The burgers were pretty big and the fried fish was good.

We were in town for one day and thought we would stop by at the end of our night. When we parked we noticed there were quite a few cars and thought it would be fun. We walked in through a propped open door and noticed a lot of people and tables of gift baskets, figured since we weren’t from around there it was some sort of night with raffles. We sat right down by the bar and the owner asked what we would like. We ordered 2 drinks, we paid and then asked what was going on there that night. The owner said he didn’t know and then asked if we were a part of it? We said no and then he said we needed to finish our drinks and leave, also said loudly to the other bartender that “apparently we need to make more signs next time”. We just wanted to get out of there so we were quickly trying to drink. About halfway done he said….”You guys need to go we need to move those chairs”. So we got up and left, we never saw a private event sign when we walked in and no one stopped us at the door. Maybe be a little nicer or have someone at the door because we aren’t from around there and have no idea what events take place in Minocqua on a daily basis. This being the second time being treated rudely in there and will never stop there again.

Terrible service and disappointing experience.
We waited an extremely long time for both food and drinks, with no updates or apologies. There were children acting as hostesses, and when we politely asked to be seated at a table for five (since two of our friends were already sitting at the bar), the teenage staff refused to help and were neither friendly nor courteous. Overall, the service was chaotic and unprofessional. Definitely not coming back or recommending it.

Food and drinks were good. Cheese curds may be the best I’ve ever had. The waitress was a little slow with service and checking in with us but she was pleasant.

Staff was very kind, we had a bit of a longer wait for our table so decided to order some appetizers at the bar while we were waiting. Eric the tough guy working the bar decided to sarcastically thank my cousin for not applying gratuity – despite him not being the person providing any service to us beyond carrying the 6 ounce trays a few feet to the table. I feel it’s important to include that he knew what was going on with us waiting for our table, just decided to be an unpleasant dude.

We got a drink and Wild Rice Clam Chowder soup there. Soup was just ok we both thought. The place is very kid friendly, it has an arcade for them to play while waiting for the food. Outside seating was nice overlookjng the lake with nice patio funiture. Inside of the restaurant look updated on one side and older on the other. The Bartender was so friendly and quick to bring us our order. Glad we checked it out while in the area.

Spinach and artichoke dip was room temperature, very obviously frozen from a bag and microwaved. Disgusting. Burger seemed decent but I couldn’t get past the first bite because the amount of flies swarming for food. Server was very kind & generous, offered to comp the whole bill but then came back and said kitchen told her to charge 50% on the burgers that literally weren’t even touched. Thought that was a bit ridiculous but whatever. Hope this place can step it up

I would rate this place negative. I would discourage anyone from supporting places like this. Bring your money elsewhere that you will be welcomed. American food is all the same wherever you go. Just pick a place that will accept everyone regardless of how we look. Places like this don’t want our support. They have enough that they can pick and choose how you look and Stereotype your characters. There were three bartenders and all walked away from us. We didn’t even get water.

Good, but not great, public fair with an emphasis on fish. Our server, Jaden, was very good.

Nice place to visit although there was confusion when ordering. Wanted a side salad and they gave a salad entree. Glad they didn’t deliver what we actually ordered along with the salad. Overall the food was good. Sat on the patio with a little breeze which caused napkins to fly around (at on the patio because inside was closed.
