The owners are the very best in service. Very clean atmosphere. Best food in the area! That hasn't changed in 20 years. It's been my favorite stop every time we go home. Even made a special trip from Florida to Korth's Badger Tap because my wife was having an unstoppable pregnancy craving for there food! Korth's Badger Tap does Wisconsin tavern style proud!

Great “up north” bar! Friendly people and great food! You can’t beat the drink or food prices either. Throw on the views and you will be happy that you stopped in! Try an old fashioned with pickled mushrooms, I mean it is Wisconsin! The burgers are phenomenal as well as the fries with tarter! We were very happy that we stopped in!

Food & drinks were really good. Will definitely be returning for dinner

Great service, love they're food. Burgers are amazing and I love how they toast the bun. The fries are nice aswell crispy on the outside and pillowy on the inside.

The haddock pictured was good, but the walleye was a much larger portion. I'll be ordering the pickle fries and battered fries again, however. The burgers are pretty tasty, but they are well done, so keep that in mind if you prefer medium rare or medium. The wings are breaded fried chicken style wings. They were served with the sauce on the side. Everything fried is very crispy and piping hot. The staff is friendly and attentive as well.

Very friendly and knowledgeable associates. Food is hot and delicious.

Same nice place, friendly people, generous owners whom help their local community. They try very hard and well to get a busy crowd served and not keep you waiting like a bump on a log. Cozy hometown feeling with as always delicious food ...

Great drinks and awesome food. The owners/kids/bartenders/cooks/employees are always friendly and have great service. We make it a point to come everytime we go to our lake house, it has become a tradition.
