Super good ribs with plenty of sauce and awesome cheese curds, and I've eaten a lot of curds in my day. We also had salad, wild rice soup, and potato pancakes. Our server Dwayne took good care of us.

After a long day of traveling we decided to eat at Gooch’s. From the moment you step in, the waiting staff treated you like an inconvenience. Food was ok, nothing special, toppings on the pizza seemed like they forgot last minute and threw them on. Our waiter gave us no time and rolled his eyes multiple times when coming to our table. Safe to say we don’t ever need to return to this establishment.

I have had dinner on two occasions. One was a broasted chicken that I was looking forward to; however, I was very disappointed. The chicken tasted as though the oil was old and way overused. The second was the Friday fish fry, which was nothing more than three fish sticks, and terrible at that.
The prices were typical for the area, but the meal was not worth it.
Off my list of restaurants to eat at!

Overall the atmosphere was the only good part of our experience today. We had the shrimp dinner and the half rack of ribs. Both of which were warm at best. The waitress was rude and short and really gave us no time. I will never be back there.

Odd dynamic where they seem to cater to the locals and treat tourists differently. Which is odd as I do t see how this place stays open without tourist money. A lot of swearing by the staff regardless if there are kids eating on a Saturday for lunch or not. Too many other options in the area to consider going here again.

Getaway. The bartender was very nice. Had a good time chatting with her. Gooch had an awesome place.
Tell him hi for us from Kevin Hopfensperger and Pam Leopold.

The lunch special burger was horrible! I am still questioning if the hamburger was lab grown. The walleye fingers are not actually walleye some type of cheap fill in. The menu is way over priced for the quality of food they serve. Bathroom was disgustingly filthy. Extremely disappointed for the Northwoods experience.

Somebody else plate with his barehand and put it on my plate. I was speechless how he could even do it right at front of me. That was the most disgusting thing I’ve experienced in a restaurant. Definitely won’t ever be back here or my family and friends

We were there for the Friday night fish fry. Very busy and we were told it would be about a 45 minute wait which is not too bad. It ended up being 1 1/2 hours which is not so great. The food (fish fry) was pretty good. Both the bartenders and servers were great.

We came for the Lake Perch and / or Bluegill fish fry from Minocqua WI area. After being seated at our table a customer at an adjoining table said to me the Bluegill was bad and not to order it. So instead, I ordered the Butterfly Shrimp with potato salad and coleslaw. We also ordered the COD fish fry and a regular salad. The meals were just ok, and we will not drive this far again for an average fish fry. The portions were smaller than I expected, and the price increased 10 to 20 percent from the spring 2023 menu.

I ordered the 1lb of “Lake Perch” for $27 and was very disappointed that it was NOT lake perch. It looks like perch but tastes like carp. I would be interested to hear from Gooch’s as to what it is. (Attach a picture of packaging). Sad that restaurants are ripping off customers with “fake” perch. The rest of the meal was very good.

We went there to hang out and have a good time only to be met with an awfully disrespectful and quite rude bartender. The bartender was an absolute jerk and as soon as we felt unwelcome and started to leave, the bartender as well as another cleaning lady decided to loudly talk badly about us after we were only kind to the staff there, horrible staff, horrible manners. It would be more worth while to burn your money rather than spend it there!

My family comes up north every year, and we ALWAYS have stopped into Gooch’s. This year, when as soon as we walked in, like normal people would into a restaurant, a long-haired guy with AirPods in blurted out that we can’t sit at the bar because only customers can sit there…? We went to the dining room, and most of the tables were empty, and it was quite early in the evening. One of the servers told us they didn’t want us to have access to absolutely any of the tables because they needed to “clean”, though they were all standing around. We had to go back to the bar, where the man with long hair was evidently upset to see us back for some reason. We became uncomfortable and came to the conclusion we weren’t wanted there for some reason; as we paid and started to walk away the man and woman both working in the bar started laughing and yelling for us to hear how “weird” we were IN FRONT of us. I am still stunned because there was absolutely nothing out of the ordinary we did. No meanness, no nothing, the bar tenders were just terrible people for absolutely no reason.

I’ve never see a restaurant with more rude employees than this bar. Our family went to the bar, 4 out of 6 people ordered drinks. The bar tender told the other two people to get their own glasses of water from a jug in the corner. The people there are horrible, it’s an awful atmosphere, bunch of local rednecks who don’t want to serve visitors to the area. As we walked out the male bar tender (with a pony tail to the middle of his back) and the women bar tender both said negative things as we left the bar. We told the manager to tell the owner that “we will never be back”. Good luck to that horrible bar!!!!

Ordered 2 pizzas, one was supposed to be well done, it was not. One pizza was cut in squares, the other in triangles. The pizza was not good. The sauce tasted like it was from a lunchables pizza pack. Service was ok. Server was forgetful, but maybe he was new, or busy, but there was effort there. Probably wouldn't go back. Ordered a cocktail called a "Cherry Coke" he brought me a cherry coke soft drink. When I asked about it, he was unaware it was a menu item, then just brought me the mixers to stir in myself.

Everyone was friendly but it was a game night and they wait staff was slammed but still very pleasant. The salad and the burgers were very good but the fish sampler had 1 good fish and the other was soggy. The pizza was thin, lacked enough sauce and had mounds of cheese on it but the cheese lacked flavor and the pizza was cold (possibly due to the game night). The olives were over powering and hid most other flavors. The atmosphere was very loud due to an open high cathederal main room and the game being on all TV screens. Great place to share the game with the community. Although the decor is very nice and the building is high quality I would consider this more of a sport bar.
Update: Revisited a 3rd time. This was not a game night. The place was still a bit loud but the food was very good. 5 stars.

A group of friends and I stopped there Saturday 1/28/23 late afternoon for a couple of drinks and dinner. Yes they were busy. My friend was just trying to get the bartenders attention to place a drink order, when she snapped at him loudly "I"M BUSY!" He wasn't being rude or out of line, just stuck his hand up with some money in it. I heard it all the way across the bar. We left. I'm sure our group leaving isn't going to hurt the bottom line for the day, but what a lousy way to treat a customer. I've been in plenty of places that were busy and the bartender or waiter/waitress was still polite.
