We happen to see an article in the paper about lil bos. We were in from out of town and try to eat as many great places as we can find. We saw they had brunch Saturday with cartoons. Husband had the Raphael and I had chicken and waffles. One of the best chicken and waffles I've had 😀 Price per person $20–30 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes Chicken and Waffles

Lil Bo's had an authentic "up north" or "northwoods" vibe. It was busy, but the bartenders and kitchen staff were hustling as well as friendly. The beer was cold and the food was great. I recommend the fried greed tomatoes. The chicken strips were great too. Price per person $10–20 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

I am so glad we found this gem! Every single item we ordered blew us away! The Buffalo Chicken was the best my husband has ever had. The Wedge Salad was the best I've ever had and this is an item I order frequently. The pickle appetizer pictured was unique and delicious! The specialty Mule was refreshing and perfectly balanced. Not pictured was the kids chicken fingers and soup which were both a big hit with us and the kiddos! Overall we loved everything. Our server, Jill, was so lovely. She went above and beyond, was attentive, friendly and her recommendations were on point. Flawless service and we felt right at home. Very family friendly. Our kids had a great time playing pool, Pac Mac, dancing to the live music and coloring. We happened to be there on a Thursday night and the musician, Lars, was great! His music and personality were really enjoyable. I would recommend this spot to anyone and everyone. Can't wait to go back next time we are in town! Thanks Lil Bo!

We were not impressed by bland food this time. We have enjoyed the olive burgers and other things in the past. The Buffalo chicken tender wrap had no sauce at all, and Ruffles or other foodservice chips, not homemade. The southwest salad had avocado spread from Sysco or Gordon Foods with zero flavor, and very little corn or black beans. Price per person $10–20 Food: 3 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Great bar and pub! Atmospheres and esthetic are cozy and welcoming. Definitely got that Cheers vibe. Lots of locals who come regularly and are known by staff and others. Food is incredible. I enjoyed the southwest salad with chicken and there is a lot of it. Husband was impressed by the chicken tenders and said they are probably the best he’s ever had. Great stop!

Nothing compares! If there was 10 stars avaible I would rate it 10! This is the best supper club in the nation. So much history and scenic location. The service and food was fantastic. It’s always a must stop when we are passing or close by. Say hello to the legend Dan Snr. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

The food was great! Especially the French onion dip and the jalapeño popper burger. Drinks seemed on the weaker side, but still good (and affordable) the vibe is fun, and I can't wait to come to one of their fun evening events. Food: 5 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4

Surprised after not visiting for many years. Food was better than expected considering the menu looks like a cafeteria menu. Atmosphere is still the same for the bar that it is, dark loud and cramped. But was nice to be in a place that was around when I was growing up Price per person $10–20 Food: 4 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 3

This establishment has been around for many years, a local go to! New owners in the last 2 years who have brought back a welcoming atmosphere for locals and tourist with outstanding bar food! They offer great soups, burgers with a flare. They have a featured deviled egg daily along with fried green tomatoes and other great but not typical appetizers. The bar interior has not been changed much over the years which I love. It has some vintage charm. Comfortable booths. I would have given the atmosphere 5 stars but when it is at peak busy time it is very noisy and it is hard to have conversations with your friends, but to be expected. During warm season you can sit outside which is nice. Service is good! Highly recommend for some real local flavor! Cocktails are good!
