Super friendly and accommodating staff. Delicious drinks, lovely atmosphere outside with a great stage ready for tomorrow night’s big show. Jeff, the owner, was amazing, letting us instead the already closed store to purchase a hoodie. Hopefully we can come back tomorrow for their live show!

This is the first time I attended a concert here. I feel like there were a lot of people here to see Brian Vander Ark so it was a bit loud to hear the music over people chatting. For future shows of this size some additional speakers might help. The music was great, the crowd was having a good time and we enjoyed listening to live music so close to home. Would attend again!

Outdoor picnic area with great shaded tables. Tropical drinks and on tap beers. Quick service and great servers. Lobster roll was good and the walleye was fantastic! Dog friendly too!!

Perfect spot to grab a bite. Nice views of the lake, especially from the deck seating. The food was excellent – had the Whitefish Dip, the Salmon Basket, and Loaded Tots. The service was an A+.

We were confused at 1st where to go because when you walk into restaurant from street, there’s nothing going on inside ( like it’s closed). But as we walked to the left, there was outdoor dining. The nice deck was for a private party…. so we ended up going down some stairs to a backyard set up.
The food was great. ( limited menu)
The atmosphere was cool because they had music playing from a large stage.
They do not “wait” on you down here. You have to go to the bar which is also in that area to order food and drinks and pay as you order. We had the chicken tender basket with fried and the turkey sandwich with chips and apple.

I have been to this restaurant many times. I enjoy the vibe of the Backyard Bar where they do live music. After my experience with the bartender last night though, it may be my last time. It wasn’t overly busy being Homecoming weekend and there being a concert on the Village Green. I had already ordered a drink, and was back for my second. There was a group of maybe 6 young men ordering so I stood behind to wait my turn. I know from going previously that the line typically goes to the left of the bar. But it is not noted anywhere that this is where they want you to form the line. Since the group of young men were standing all together in a circle group at the bar, I just stood behind them since no one else was in line and my seat was to the right. As the left one man kindly ushered me toward the register. I stood there a moment and a man came up from the left (remember there wasn’t a line but his table was to the left). She ignored me and took his order. I stood there in disbelief as it was SO rude! The guy ordering picked up on my annoyance (even though I was silent) and asked if he did that wrong (by coming from the left). And in a horribly snotty tone she gestured to me and said ”No she did.” I stood there incredulous that this young girl spoke to a customer like that. He left and she asked for my order, which I gave her. She shoved the card reader at me and after paying she slammed her register drawer and stared at me angrily (likely because she saw I didn‘t tip her after her behavior). Again, I know that usually the line forms to the left but it seemed silly to stand there when the group moved all together and I was coming from the right…and NO ONE else was there. To treat me so rudely was unacceptable behavior from an employee. Today her photo is on the business Facebook page and I think everyone needs to know how the bartender treats paying customers. I will definitely hesitate to go back even though I previously frequented this business.

A complete waste of money! This place is terrible! The fish sandwich was a small piece of fish on a big stale bun, the fish basket was two small pieces of fish with a bunch of fries. The cheese pizza was all sauce and no cheese. The location and set up is great, how ever the people running the place must be complete idiots because the food is terrible and the service could be better! The man selling bbq for bird land out back would probably be the way to go!

Lobster roll was great! Tasty perch! A little weird seating behind the restaurant on picnic table but was beautiful weather for outdoor dinning. I preferred the outdoor patio right off the restaurant. Fast service!

This place was great! They had live music. The food was fantastic. It was so busy. People had brought their dogs, it was like you were in your own bag yard, it was great. The only thing that took a while was they had one register, so you got your drink quick, but you had to wait to pay. It’s not a big deal, just a line of people at the bar the entire time. Food came out quick. Definitely recommend checking out if in the area.
