we've been to Grizzly's a few times over the years for a drinks and to catch a game or two, but last night, we made the last minute error of trying out the $7.95 all you can eat fish fry. "Grizzly's all you can eat" means: one plate of school cafeteria-style, frozen, fried fish. you can get more (the "all you can eat" part) if you can get the waiters attention (we signaled, yelled, walked up to him by the kitchen, told him our needs), and don't mind waiting 45 to place another order when he forgets, then another 30-35 minutes for that second serving to not arrive. oh yeah- did i mention the one beer you may or may not get before during or after your meal, despite ordering three times?- here's a note: don't bother ordering or trying to order because your waiter once you are on to him, will avoid your table altogether. we debated calling for delivery from another establishment as we waited. (read: don't go there girlfriend!) it was a game- do we pay or ditch. (we watched three tables of grown adults ditch, and four other large tables grow weary watching for the waiter to emerge from the kitchen or bar area with food or beer.) we paid and left, we are honorable. you know, with the northwoods atmoshpere, Grizzly's may may be onto something- performance dining. this whole experience felt like a game- a loose artistic metaphor for...hunting! (there was a ton of waiting around, not really getting any food, watching for something that will allude or fail to notice, yet you persist. you signal, shoot, signal again, miss the target, all the while talking to bored friends with drinking problems- i got extra credit in this scenario- i'm from wisconsin.) but even hunters GET TO drink lots of beer. SAD SAD SAD. on a scale of one to ten...i'd like to change the subject.

Fun backwoods bar with lots of wild game entrees and Awsome Tater Tots! Ask for them with melted chedder cheese and a crock of chili.
Good atmosphere, descent beer selection, sports and a great 1/2 lb burger and tots. Not to mention the venison, buffallo, and elk.
