First key didn't work to the room.. next one did.. got back from a ride sxs with food to go from another place and couldn't get into our room. Went to front desk and called many times and after a half hour someone finally showed up..was accused by the bartender I was intoxicated but I don't drink, no manager on site either....I will not ever stay here ever again

The food was typical bar food but good, fish and fries. The service was great and the place was very cozy ☺️ It was inside the hotel which was very convenient.

We were only there for the breakfast, but really wished that we weren't too sleepy to have spent some time in the bar the night before. Such a nice looking, inviting, and clean space. If you stay at this place, save some time to visit the orange moose!

A Phoenix rising from the ashes of the pandemic. That’s how I’d describe the Orange Moose Bar & Grill. About a dozen years ago the wife and I decided that instead of buying a Northwoods cabin, we’d patronize a host that could deliver the experience with fidelity. A handful of times annually in the intervening years the Orange Moose and It’s associated hotel have served that function. We’ve seen many changes at the Moose over the years, many during the trying days of the pandemic.

While the overall trend has been toward reduced hours and services, I’m delighted to see the flicker of new life in the Orange Moose. This weekend we attended their New Years Eve party, which was well-planned, and provided to the opportunity to stay off the road on amateur night as we were able simply to walk to our room. The menu at the bar included their usual staples of pizza and fryer food, which was augmented with the daily specials of pulled pork or chicken, which was great to see. Other recent efforts include free pool night, and a forthcoming go at bingo Sundays.

All told, the Orange Moose Bar & Grill is on the path to returning to its storied past – transitioning from its pandemic role as an amenity exclusively for hotel guest - to its former broader command as an attraction that drew the community and passers by alike to its shining beacon.

Do not stay here! This place it terrible!
There is mold everywhere. Mold in the rooms,hot tub, bathrooms etc... I got back
From eating and it smelled like marijuana.
Restaurant smells horrible. Lights don't work. Staff wasn't really helpful. Creepy basement filled with mold. Just don't stay here not worth the money

Stay was nice but not for the price, room smelled a little funky but other then that the room was not bad.
Decided to relax at the bar for some drinks and that's where our stay went south, bartender was rude and scatterbrained.
She told us we had to stop playing the pull tabs and gambling machines because she couldn't pay out, we watched her make rude remarks to other customers as well, she hates her job or life both for some reason.
Customers were waiting on drinks and the bartender ignored them, always gasping like the customers were a burden.
The bartender on duty should not be in customers service, no tip was left by our group for the horrible experience.

It is what it is - The Big Orange Moose is a kitschy photo op. Given the location it is a nice chance to stop and stretch after being in the car on a long trip. It is nice that the moose has a pond to go with it. I will keep stopping by and taking my kids pictures by it, because they will always ask. I will also continue to wonder why it is orange.

My wife and I stopped here for dinner on May 17th 2018. We had dined here on previous trips. We’ll NOT be back. While the food was fine, the loud music playing was crude and sexually explicit. I complained but the staff seemed totally unable to address the situation. Apparently customers were selecting these songs on a jukebox. Management is at fault for allowing this kind of obnoxious music to be loaded. This is definitely not a family-friendly establishment and if you care about common decency while you are dining you should probably avoid it.

I Never give a bad review but this was truly a bad experience. The waitress was way too chatty. Any interaction with her took 5 times longer than it should have. She also brought the food to the table and said she didn't know where or how to get guacamole for my build your own but she would look. She answered two phone calls again very long winded and came back to the table. We asked again for the guacamole and she said oh yes I'll check. She came back empty handed by then my burger was cold. My burger was also too charred and well done which I told her. She did nothing about it but said the cook was new. Service and food were both terrible. We will not be returning.

They got rid of the salad bar, because they were losing money on it? They only have 1 person handling the entire dining area at lunch. That's why they're losing money. We can't wait this long for lunch.

My boyfriend and arrived and the waitress told us to have a seat anywhere and they would be right with us. We sat and waited for 15 minutes with no help. We decided to leave, we went to the front desk of the hotel complained and asked where else we could eat. They apologized and made suggestions. After some thought we decided we would order from The Orange Moose and get it to go. When my boyfriend went to order the front desk of the hotel was speaking with the waitress about our complaint and she was being very rude and not empathetic at all. My boyfriend was very upset, we still ordered our food even though we were very frustrated and disappointed in the service. We will not be staying at the Bedt Western or eating at The Orange Moose again when we come for our stays.

This is my first review. Ever.
I will say that when my wife ordered her steak VERY well done that they did bring it out very well done, this doesn't happen very often. It wasn't very well seasoned but was cooked to order.
My burger I ordered well done, I have pictures it was bleeding. It took so long to get our food (we were there just shy of 2 hours) that I ate what I could stand and left the rest. I didn't complain, no amount of free food or money back would get me back there so it was pointless.

The appetizer sample platter was hit and miss. Cheese curds great, motz sticks great, the buffalo moose wings were plain cold. Not a cold like they sat out for a while but a cold like they pressed the wrong button on the microwave.

This place is unusual and has potential, needs Robert Irvine to come in and school the owners. Please don't blame the wait staff, they did the best they could.
