Cute bar and restaurant in an old school house in the middle of nowhere. The staff was so nice and the food was great! My family loved the burgers. Can't wait to go eat on their patio this summer. We got takeout this time. Highly recommend

Food was great...maybe not the chilli. Chilli taste like tomato soup with hamburger, but the rest of our food was great!! The another thing was the prices are low. We will return soon!! I forgot....smoked baked beans aren't smokey tasting so we added mustard and ketchup.

We were in the lake country so decided to go to the old school for a meal.. Special for the day was deep fried perch,,,all you can eat! WOW, what a deal!!! So we both ordered the special.. It was very good and there was plenty of it the 1st time around.. Seating was kinda different.. Dividers between tables..probly from covid days days.. But it does give more individual seating in a small room.. Remember that it was an old country school at one time.. When in the area give them a try..

Five stars for the schoolhouse! We were in town from North Carolina and we felt right at home. Sumo made the best burgers, walleye sandwiches, onion rings, and fries. The service was incredible and Sumo went out of his way to make sure everything was perfect. Don’t miss out on the pickled northern caught just 100 yards away. Best experience ever!!!

I hadn't ever had a burger with sour cream on it but it's been 24 hours and I can stop thinking about it. For a little out of the way joint it was well worth the drive. I got the Olde Schoolhouse burger with onion rings and it was phenomenal.

New to the area and found this quaint little bar restaurant about 5 miles from us. The service was good as we were the only ones there at about 2 in the afternoon on a Sunday. Basic fare, burgers and sandwiches. Fries were the mini French cuts, would have preferred larger fries. They did custom order a sandwich for us as my significant other is vegetarian. Only open from 11-8 PM. They definitely could do a landslide if they opened earlier for breakfast. All in all a nice experience. We'll be back for sure.
