Prime Bar Family Dining

Best prime rib in Wisconsin. The Old Fashion's are good too. Great Northwoods atmosphere. A gem.

This restaurant is half bar and half restaurant. I would have to say that I loved it. That is I love it looks pretty old but the service and the people are the most important right?. So the service and the food was amazing. When I was there I ordered one beer Bluemoon., I preferred to drink blue moon because it's super delicious in my opinion. I also ordered mozzarella sticks onion rings chicken nuggets Side of fries and then onion rings again. Then I ordered shrooms I think they called coconut shrimp's or something like that. Then I got another three bottles of blue moon. But for all of that I paid less than $20. What an amazing place everything tasted delicious. There are many parking space around that restaurant. So you don't have to worry about it. Also there is across the street big gas station and a truck stop.

Food is decent, too bad it takes an hour an a half to get and is way overpriced. We have been here five times over the last year and it is consistently slow (an hour plus even when the dining room is less half full). Appetizer baskets are always over cooked. The Prime rib sandwich I got last weekend had half the amount of meat I have ever gotten anywhere else. I will say the food tasted good, but certainly wasn't worth the wait and the price. Three visits ago we had a similar poor experience and I asked the owner to comp a combo basket at least. She refused. I have no idea why we keep coming back here but we are done.

Me and my family enjoyed brunch over Fourth of July weekend. Food was reasonably priced and also very good! We enjoyed pancakes, eggs, ham and cheesy hash browns, also some sandwiches such as Reubens and grilled cheeses for the kids. The atmosphere is very family friendly.

Our family has a tradition to stop into the Prime Bar for breakfast at least once during our annual vacation in Wisconsin. We generally do it when we're on our way over to Jack's to rent canoes. Anyway, breakfast at the Prime Bar is decent. It's not fancy. It's pretty basic. But it does the job and is quite filling. I am a fan of the #2. Keep it simple when you're in a place like this. The #2 is two eggs any style, two giant buttermilk pancakes and your choice of meat. I like the breakfast sausage patty. It's the size of a coffee cup saucer and is not bad. The coffee is not great -- it's pretty much like water that is brown and coffee-flavored. But it is what it is. Service tends to be efficient and generally friendly. If you're in the area and want a quick bite to eat, the Prime Bar will certainly do the job.

So my family decided to give this place another try. Mainly because the Dinner Bell is now closed and the Prime is the closest restaurant in the area. I'm not sure what happened but they've really stepped their game up since the last times we visited. The service is still just alright but the food has improved. The reason I give it four stars is because the menu needs to expand and the service could use some work. I must say that this place has greatly improved and I will go here again.

I ordered the walleye dinner (deep fried) and my wife ordered the prime rib (med rare). The fish was not bad and the filet was a decent portion size, tnn e prime rib was pretty bland and my wife added some salt, which she never ever does. This is the typical north woods highway restaurant and bar.

Great prime rib at a fair price. The staff has always been prompt, friendly and welcoming. The dining area and bar are both quite spacious and we have never had to wait for a table. My family has been dining here for over 15 years. The Prime Bar gets better with age!

I came in for a late breakfast after riding down from Fort Frances. I got seated right away even though it was pretty busy. The servers were very attentive once again despite it being so busy. I finally made up my mind for a traditional breakfast, eggs over easy, ham and hash browns no toast.The order came out pretty quick as well. Two eggs looked great, huge slice of ham that was also very thick and a large portion of hash browns. Unlimited coffee carafe as well on the table which was nice.Highly recommend!!

We went early and had good service and descent food. Wife had a sirloin which was done perfectly and I had a combo of Fried Chicken and Ribs .. nice portions, hot and satisfying. Would go again when in the area. A little pricy but everything is going up in price!
