'pj 's Burger Barn - Arbor Vitae

My dad and I went today for the last Fish Fry of the year. We each ordered the $12.95 fish fry (2 fairly large pieces of beer battered deep fried fish about 1.5 x1 x5.5 and ordered an extra piece for an extra $2. With included fries and a bowl of clam chowder I could barely finish it all. Dad couldn't even eat all of his. The fish was excellent. Cooked perfectly and very mild flavor. The fries were solid. The chowder had good flavor but consistency was really thick, more like homemade jam than soup, which was a little off putting but in the end the solid flavor won out for me. Service was excellent. Really friendly, fun, and polite waitress who checked in with us frequently. Food came quickly. Atmosphere was Northwoods perfect. Very casual. The interior is all knotty pine and rustic. We were seated in a booth in the back with a perfect view of the lake behind the restaurant. Got to watch a gorgeous sunset as an eagle flew by (not making that up while we waited for our food. It was November, but there is a patio out back with horseshoe pits for summertime. There is a bar but we didn't take advantage of it. Overall I really enjoyed my experience and it was a great value. $33 for 2 meals and a beverage, plus another meal from the 2 pieces we took home as leftovers. Note: the place is obviously a burger joint first and foremost and had like 15 different burgers on the menu. Parking: Decent sized gravel lot with 2 handicap spaces. We went early so there was plenty of parking available. Wheelchair accessibility: Front door approach has both steps and a ramp.

This is my first visit in a few years, and I have to say that I will definitely be back. We were a group of 6 people, and we all thought our meals were great. If you like burgers you need to come here, there are so many choices, you are sure to find one that you will love. The service was great, the prices are very reasonable and the new remodel looks fantastic. I know we will be back, and I will highly recommend this restaurant to anyone!
