JB's Moose Lake Shack - Hayward, Wisconsin

A hidden gem, for sure! We were out for a drive and stumbled upon this place. We initially were going to have a quick appetizer and keep driving, but their menu looked too good to pass up. I indulged in a Key Lime Martini which tasted like dessert. Then had a side salad with their Honey Basalmic Glazed Salmon and (must have) shrimp. My boyfriend had their meat lovers pizza. We both loved the service, atmosphere, and food. Prices were also very reasonable. Will definitely be back!

Food was great.
Mussels and clams appetizer for the table. My husband was skeptical about ordering mussels for appetizers but at the end he loved it anyways. They all have good flavors.
Most of us ordered walleye dinner special for that day. All the different flavors was to the liking of every each of us who ordered different spices. The tartar sauce was really good and it did complimented with the walleye. The rice had good flavor but it was a bit too wet. My mom ordered Reuben sandwich and she loved it. The fries needed a little more frying as she stated but it has good flavor as well.
We all ordered cocktails and everything was great and had ample amount of alcohol in it.

Service was great, our server was very attentive to us and provided us a good service for 10 people. She was great in suggestive selling.

The ambience on the place was cool, it did fit the cabin look inside and outside. Place was pack when we came and needed us to wait to sit 10 people. The air conditioning system wasnt working that made it a little too warm with so much people in there.

Overall, we agreed we’ll definitely visit it again when were up in the area.

It took a couple of years but we finally found the time to stop in on the UTV. Reminded us somewhat of a supper club with the decor and how it's laid out. Best of all the food is to die for, they even have wagyu beef on the menu. I had the jammin burger my wife the ruben, both were exceptional. If you're in the area you need to stop in and check it out.

Great bar and restaurant tucked into the North woods. If you want great service and some high end, tasty food, this is the place to go. We tried the salmon with house salad and wild rice soup - Excellent! Lots of exposed logs and wood paneling. The Homemade pizza also looks good. The walnut brownie in a little skillet with ice cream was awesome.

Came upon The Shack randomly when we were staying very close by at a Cabin on Moose Lake. We pulled in for happy hour on a Thursday afternoon and had a delicious onion bloom, crab wontons and the absolute best hand-dipped cheese curds. Trust, we have had our fair share of Wisconsin cheese curds. There was an entire “hand-dipped” section of the menu, which was very much appreciated. We decided to make a reservation for the Friday night fish fry and it did not disappoint. The walleye was perfectly cooked and the seasoning was one of the best our family has tried. The homemade tartar sauce was “top one” ever. Do not at me on that. It’s facts. The pizza, drinks, beer selection, and atmosphere was top notch. Leann the owner and server made us feel like when we were there, we were family. This is a place that if you are hunting and fishing in Wisconsin, you will want to try.

Second time I've been here. My brother brought me and kim here 2 weeks. Didn't think it could get any better. Boy was i wrong. Took 2 friends with us tonight. Food homerun service homerun. The husband and wife ownership are a class act. Plus I have a soft stop for family owned business. I will bring more fun loving foodies soon!

I was in the area this weekend with my girlfriend and this place was recommended to us from our wonderful bartender Pam at Dows and WOW was this the best place we had been together possibly ever! The king cut beef prime rib will leave your mouth watering and wondering how they perfected the seasoning and marinading that was put into the dish. The mashed potatoes and broccoli were fresh and also very well prepared. We decided to start with the blooming onion that was amazing! It was nice to see the owners both working there, the owner that took care of us was very friendly and made great drinks. Overall a great spot to get some food and drinks if you are in the area! I will be back for the prime rib!

Had very high hopes for this place, but was unfortunately very disappointed. I had the lemon pepper shrimp which had ZERO flavor. The baked potato was pretty hard. My boyfriend had the ribeye which was okay, but still was lacking flavor. Again, hard baked potato. Our waitress was very distracted as there were two small children running around and screaming almost our whole visit. Not worth the $90 we paid 🙁
EDIT: the table behind us sent their potato back because it was undercooked. We did not.
