Bartender asked what we wanted to drink and then walked away and waited on tables. Other bartender tended to the phone and paid no attention to our group of 6. Mens bathroom out of toweling and was very dirty. Extremely poor service!

It was decent food, for what was available. Went there June 15th and somehow they were out of almost everything, even though with it being the busy season for the Northwoods you would assume they would have plenty (like everywhere else). Long wait also for what limited choices were available, however the staff were excellent at handling the situation and the bartender was great.

Great food, drinks, and staff.

We (accidentally) showed up 10min to kitchen close. Guys behind the bar without hesitation said "Yeah! Order up!"

Friendliest guys, with attention to checking on us regularly.

Food was great. Couple others in our group got the walleye fillet and the perch fillet. Initially worried about the listed quantity (a single fillet) and price ratio. We were not at all disappointed. Large fillets for the price.

All was great....even the jokes. Thank you guys!! Cheers!!

I really can't say enough good things about the "new" Black Oak Inn. The current owners have now run Black Oak for approximately 2 years now, and I really love how they've upgraded the experience. The lighting is more inviting, the bar is beautiful, the service is friendly, and the food is outstanding. We tried the Friday Fish Fry last night for the first time. It was surprisingly good while being prepared slightly differently from the usual batter one would find in the Northwoods area. This was more of a light panko or cracker crust style, but it was still crisp, and the fish was still tender and flaky on the inside. Not a HINT of dry fish here! The salad bar is small, but mighty! Big shout out to the pea salad! All of us loved it! Also, the cheese curds rival the best in the area. I know that's saying a lot, but it is true!

Aside from that, they have a pool table, darts, games for the kids (as well as slots for the adults), and my new personal favorite, hammerschlagen! If you're unfamiliar, that's worth the trip by itself, in my opinion!

Black Oak Inn is becoming one of my favorite spots in the area. I highly recommend it to all!!

Holy Guacamole! This little gem has hands down the BEST cheese curds I have had in the Northwoods. I had the quesadilla, which was ok, just average, but HUGE. My husband had a burger and said it was the bomb. I snagged a slice of pizza from a friend and the crust was buttery and flakey. Shoulda. Couda. Woulda ordered the pizza had I known it was going to be so good.

This is a family owned and ran bar and it shows. They make all of their sauces, curds, burgers by hand. You can get a Sisco burger and curds anywhere but you wont find it at this place.

They even have a handy basked of bathroom supplies for the ladies room.

We will be back for sure!

Attention Gluten-free eaters of the Northwoods — this is the place for you! (Also, to be fair, this is really a place for everyone and can accommodate G-free eaters with buns and an awesome selection of sides to meet dietary restrictions.)

Bon Appetit!

New ownership, place was a bit busy and was lacking staff. There was one bartender running around trying to appease everyone by himself so we waited 10 minutes at bar rail to order some beverages. It was difficult to get a drink at the bar so, with permission, we ended up seating ourselves at a table with the intention of eating dinner here. After waiting for an additional 14 minutes in hopes of a waitress for drink & food order we just ended up leaving to go elsewhere. I will give this place another chance in the future Hopefully things get more organized over time and staffing increases.

I cannot even begin to express how amazing this establishment is…I heard there were new owners and since stopping I now know the atmosphere and attitude are above par each time I have visited. I’ve had multiple meals here and each is clearly made from scratch. I’ve lived in northern Wisco for most of my life and have never been able to answer where my favorite fish fry was…now I can. Grab the potato crusted walleye or perch, the blackened cod, the baked cod, the almond crusted walleye, or the AYCE…I struggle with choosing which one each week. Nick and his wife Aimee are so accommodating. They have kiddos and I love seeing them in and out of the dining room saying hi to everyone. It’s way too cute!! Wrick…I still haven’t figured out the “w”…he’s what I would call the “clutch” of the establishment. Without droning on, this place is a gem that Land O’ Lakes has been needing for so long. Their energy is something I want to visit each time I make it up here. Thank you Black Oak for crushing my visits each time I’m up. And the cheeseburgers are phenomenal.

We were VERY disappointed and we do not recommend the Black Oak Inn at all. There are much better places in the area. We were first time customers and we went there for a Fish Fry on 8/20/21 and the service started out good, waitress seemed nice, but everything quickly went downhill after. We got our drinks and my husband ordered All-You-Can-Eat battered cod, my daughter & I had the baked cod. After we placed our drink and dinner order our waitress never returned. We ran out of drinks - and we tried to flag our waitress down - but she never looked our way again - we saw her waiting on other tables, bringing drinks to them she was walking around the dinning room, behind the bar etc. but she never checked in with us again. My husband had to go up to the bar to get another drink for us and shortly after our dinner came, it was brought out by another person. Our baked cod was good - but my husband received 2 pieces of fish with his "Al You Can Eat" battered cod dinner.. when he cut into the first piece it was gray / hard and just really gross - so he started eating the 2nd piece of battered cod which was better. Our waitress never came back to see how everything was, or to see if my husband wanted any more fish since it was all you can eat. So he had a 1 piece fish dinner that was mediocre at best. The service really was terrible - When we were ready to go my husband had to get up and go get our waitress to ask for our bill. When she came over to check us out with the tablet I told her we were very disappointed and she just smirked and said sorry and did not say anything else - like she did not even care.

Good food and drinks but bartender Amy warned me and my fiance for swearing 2 times and kicked us out. I asked everyone around, all 21+ plus 2 people maybe 18ish, if we were being obnoxious at all. Three separate parties said no. This was our first time there and we felt they were being discourtious since we walked in and the waitress and the bartender spoke. Otherwise it was a nice place to go but until they learn about customer service or those two aren't working, we won't be going back.
