Met some friends for dinner and stopped by chance as they're parking lot wasn't overly crowded. We were seated immediately by Liv who was tending bar, and had drinks on the table in less than 10 minutes. 3 of us ordered the broasted chicken which was hot, juicy and delicious. Our other friend ordered the Blueberry Apple glazed Pork Prime which he said was a delightful change and quite tasty.
Overall, everything was fantastic. Service was spectacular and our food came fast and hot.
We'll be coming back again soon!

What a fantastic dining experience. Amazing service and unpretentious fine dining in the heart of northern Wisconsin. We had the glazed pork belly along with the firecracker shrimp appetizers which are both made in house. Followed that up with a main course of their prime rib. All amazing. Can’t wait to go back and have the 1/2 Peking Duck.

I didn’t have the chance to eat here while I was up in the area, but I did want to mention something about the owner.
My husband and I were in a very scary situation. My 20lb dog was going into anaphylaxis from a bug bite and her face had swollen twice its size in an hour. We were very unfamiliar with the location and did not have a lot of time left before it could have been life threatening. My husband went into this establishment and asked the bartender for antihistamine medication for a dog and was given some by the owner who is “a big dog lover”. I wanted to let the owner know that if it wasn’t for your generosity that my dog would have most likely lost her life.
I highly recommend visiting here and supporting these lovely people.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for saving her ❤️

Driving through the area for work when the big Bear caught my eye. Early Saturday evening and we pulled in to get a bite. We ordered the prime rib, and both of us agreed it was by the far the most tender prime rib we had ever eaten. Friendly and prompt service as well. I'd highly recommend eating here.

After being seated by the bartender, she took our order for a beer and glass of wine. I asked for a Pinot bc they didn’t have moscato or white zin and she suggested the Pinot if I wanted a white wine. My Pinot comes as a red wine to the table. So I had to get a white wine bc I get migraines from red. Two waitresses taking care of four tables. We waited 15 minutes for the drinks to come and finally asked a waitress at the table next to us for our drinks. This still took awhile to get. I realize the waitresses were bringing out food, but not a word was said to us for another 20 minutes or more. Finally our waitress said in passing that it’ll be just a few minutes bc the kitchen was catching up and I get that, however, she could have still taken the order?? But anyways the prime was okay except my boyfriend got the 16 oz and his was half, if not more, fat. I ordered medium rare and said more on the rare side and it was medium. Food could have been hotter. Is the price for mushrooms and onions on the menu bc that was a $7 we wouldn’t have spent. Pretty pricy for what you get.

We use their shuttle service to bring kayaks to Oxbow and spend a afternoon 4 hrs on the flambeau. Then get out at Big Bear Lodge and we use the DNR shower's across the street. Then have drinks and eat dinner. The dishes we love are Duck on wild rice w/red cabbage & a side of spaetzle. The Ribs are tender and meaty and Prime Rib is superb if you want to treat yourself. All the food is constant no matter when we eat there. The staff is friendly and sometimes new, but they ask many times if we needed anything. Over all don't drive by you won't be disappointed.

Big Bear has been The place to go for fine dining and a stunning Northwoods setting for well over 60 years. Their food is excellent and their dining room is world class. In the summer, eating on their deck/porch, while watching the beautiful Flambeau River flow by will definitely put you in a mellow place. If you want to rent a canoe for fishing or just paddling, this is the place to go. You will not be disappointed.

Been to Big Bear quite a few times in the past 3-4 years. Very nice, clean (what I've come to expect in 99% of Wisconsin dining/cocktail venues), great location along the Flambeau River. Gotta try the Duck Tenders if you need an app to go with a beer or any libation.
