Northwestern Lounge - RHINELANDER

My two daughters, granddaughter, son, and I were looking for a local caffe to have lunch. We couldn't have picked a better spot! We each had sandwiches, one had a cocktail. None of us had ever been in prior to today. The food, service, cleanliness was excellent especially for a old fashioned, main street type caffe/bar! I can't believe there hasn't been a review since 2019.

Enjoyed my burger and my husband liked his corned beef sandwich. Chicken wild rice soup was a good starter. Being there between lunch and dinner gave us the place to ourselves so the service was great.

Fast, friendly service and quality sandwiches keeps us coming back.

Walked in around 3 PM on a Friday, immediately enjoyed the supper club vibe and retro feeling. Staff was not super welcoming, but friendly. Ordered a brandy Old Fashioned sweet to start, with special of the day, a ribeye steak sandwich and French Onion soup. I also got an order of cheese curds as an appetizer. The wait for the drinks and food was very reasonable. The brandy OF is delicious, one of the best I've had in a long time. I wish the same could be said for the food. The French Onion soup came out first, and was the best part of the meal, in that it was decent. The cheese curds are straight out of a Sysco box, and were barely cooked through. When I got the sandwich, it was just a piece of steak on a roll- no additional ingredients, and more concerning, no flavor. Thankfully the prices were quite reasonable. In summary, come for the drinks, but look elsewhere for food.

Small resultant soups and sandwiches. Very large portion for the price
