WI Northwoods dining: Manitowish Waters, Minocqua, StarLake, Eagle River -(vilas co.)

For those Traveling to the Northwoods of Wisconsin, I'd like to start a thread on restaurants located here. I'll begin with a few.

St Germain / Eagle River :

Sportsman’s Chalet
Judi and I decided to canoe part of the Wisconsin River. There is a sand boat ramp about ½ way between Eagle River and St. Germain, right off of Hwy 70. We canoed about 1 ½ hours downstream then started the 2 hp motor and motored back upstream to our point of departure. If you do put in the river here, there is a large eagle’s nest on the south bank of the river about 1/8 mile downstream from the ramp. Only ¼ mile from this sand “ramp” is the Sportsman’s Chalet. It was past lunch and we were starved, Sportsmans was right there so we stopped in.

Kind of a quirky place, and A frame houses the bar and another perpendicular one houses the restaurant portion.

Of course we take our seat at the bar and order our food. Lots of bar/pub choices to choose from, the difference at Sportsmans is that all is cooked there.

I had a Rueben with thick home cooked slices of tender, flavorful corned beer, lots of kraut and a delicious medium thick rye bread.

Judi had the rib eye steak sandwich with warm homemade German potato salad that had chunks of bacon in it.

All was top quality delicious. Sportsmans also serves a choice of bluegill, walleye, perch or cod for their Friday night fish fry. There are different homecooked specials everyday.

Sportsmans Chalet
There is a sign on Hwy 70 that points to the side road where Sportsmans is located. This road again is about ½ way between Eagle River and St. Germain Wisconsin off of Hwy 70. Enjoy.
