Nice and fancy, sure. Good tasting, ok. Spending $15 for a burger in a place that is situated in a location that has, at last census, less than 600 people...yeah, not so much. Service was fantastic and the comment another reviewer had about filling up water glasses is spot on (never had to ask). If you can afford it, by all means, go. I will stick with the more pedestrian and less pricey options.

My first visit here and I was disappointed. Nice atmosphere though I was surprised there weren't candles on the tables. It would have made the atmosphere a lot better! The cheese plate had some great pates but some of the crackers were stale. The entree, the special, was mediocre and priced $9 more than listed on the regular menu, I guess because it was the special and a lemon vinaigrette was added??? Our waitress was very nice but needed to stop saying "no problem" to everything, most of which was part of her job, thus it shouldn't be a problem. Another waitress who helped out could not have been nicer and was a wonderful plus. It is pricey and for me just wasn't worth it.

From making the reservation, to asking directions, to the dining experience, all very excellent. This was our second visit and we were not disappointed. The bartender was friendly and pleasant and she knew how to pour my bourbon "neat". The piano player in the bar was entertaining and his music fits the atmosphere. The waitress took very good care of us. The cheese and crackers, which are waiting for you at the table are good and the appetizers have never disappointed us. My prime rib was outstanding and my wife's seafood ravioli was excellent. The wine menu is good and fits their food offerings. We were treating my father-in-law for his birthday. He ordered a filet and likes it a certain way. His steak was exactly as ordered. The desserts were excellent also. The cheesecake was home-made and the size was generous. All in all a very good experience. We don't frequent the North Woods as often as we would like but this is the venue for Saturday night from now on when we are up north. Kellie and Jim are very friendly and thoughtful, Jim took our coats and hung them for us. A crackling fire in the fireplace would have been great. For Saturday evening I would suggest dress/casual attire. I wore a sport shirt and jeans but wish I would have dressed a bit more to match the ambiance. I was not looked down on nor did I feel totally uncomfortable, just a personal thing.

We stopped by again this winter. We found that the 'Snowmobilers' policy previously mention was not exactly the case. It was a mis communication on the part of errant staff. They will and do place your snowmobile gear in the basement. This is because they don't have much room in the foyer. We had a good meal that is a cut above the normal fare in the Northwoods. We will be back and may even stop while on snowmobiles. They are right on the trail and the last place to get a beer on our ride home.

Adequate food that was totally out of whack on spices: squash soup so sweet it tasted like pie; mushroom soup so heavy on marjoram it tasted moldy; cloves on steak, c'mon! Very pricey. Gracious hostess. Excellent water glass filling--never once had to ask. Nice spreads to start--slight change to usual supper club relish tray--even though we had to struggle with waitress to keep it since it was so good we practically wanted to lick out the last dribs and drabs. Licking would have been a good idea since most of crackers were limp.

Smokey's has been our favorite restaurant since we became local cabin owners in the area. Although the menu is not exotic, it does have a wide selection to please all tastes, and the chef does a great job with fresh ingredients, homemade sauces and ample portions. The service is always impeccable, especially if you get our favorite server Gloria, who is very professional, attentive, and knowledgeable of everything on the menu. Tom the bartender is another one of our favorites- with his bow tie and vest he aims to please and his manner is also impeccable. The live baby grand piano player is a valuable addition on the weekends and he has always come through on our requests. Atmosphere is warm and inviting, with light colored knotty pine walls and a large stone fireplace to keep it cozy in the cooler months. Strongly recommend reservations during the summer season, as they are pretty busy on the weekends. We have taken many family members here and everyone had a good meal and enjoyed their visit. My only suggestion for Smokey's would be to have a few different specials in addition to the prime rib type stuff. They did have some tasty BBQ specials in the summer, though, to be fair. Oh yes- don't forget to try one of the chef's homemade soups- we highly recommend the lobster bisque!

Very good overall for such a remote area. Live grand piano player who could handle requests, ample service beginning to end, outstanding food quality, less expensive than I would anticipate for such high quality ingredients. We ordered steaks and they were comparable to the Chop House here in Chicago. We had a great time with a somewhat full house, yet we did not have to wait. Something about the location catches you off guard when you realize what's up in there. Impressive. (Not a BBQ place, FYI)

I had the chance to get back to Smokey's last summer, with the same couple who were with us when the "unfortunate" waitress was there. Manager Jim was there and when I introduced myself, he remembered me and proceeded to get us better seating, and I am sure he prepped our waiter about us! We had the best food, and even better service. I noticed too, that all the servers seemed to know how to treat the diners who were there for good food, good service, and great ambience. We certainly hit the trifecta this time. More than made up for the other experience and would go back when in the area. Jerry and Diana Jansen Madison, WI Mesa, AZ

First time in the area, first time here. Went for dinner with friends and found the room, service and food very nice. Warm wood and soft lighting made the dining room peaceful and inviting. Server was delightful and very helpful. Food was prepared and served well -- the Smoked Ribs were especially wonderful. How can you come to a place called Smokeys and not get the smoked ribs? I'm leaving 1 star for the wine list and would love to come back to see how that might improve. Fantastic first time --Thanks, Northwoods!

First time at Smokey's and was truly pleasantly surprised! We went on Labor Day with a party of 5. 7:15 reservation and the great service started from the moment we entered the door. Our waitress was terrific! I wish I had gotten her name. She made great recommendations, was fast accurate and had a delightful personality. Salads were delicious and generous. Crab cakes were full of crab, not much filler! Another in our party had the pasta with scallops, shrimp and lobster- YUM! Full of seafood and seasoned well! I had a chicken dish that was quite tasty. FYI- if you order the ribs, I hope you're hungry! They are huge! Another in our party had the steak. He felt it was fine, but would go with a fish dish next time. We were all very happy with the food, service and ambiance. We will go back next time we are in town! Only compliant, they sat us at a table made for 4. With 2 big guys in our party, it was cramped and I'm sure they knocked knees under the table. It was a busy night, but we did have a reservation. This would not keep us from returning though.

I never imagined there could be such a nice and fancy restaurant in this remote place. We were on a trip to Porcupine Mountain state park and on our way back to Madison. Actually we were having a hard time even finding a fast food place, like McDonald. However, we stopped outside this place wondering what this was for. Quite surprisingly, we found it was a fancy restaurant which offered fine food. It offered crackers with salmon cheese, cheddar, etc as a starter. The bread was also warm and soft. We ordered ribeye and lamb respectively. We had potato and ham cream soup, and steak and vegetable soup. The first one was creamy and rich in flavor, and the second was also quite tasty. We shared steak and lamb, both medium cooked. I must say that the meat was very juicy and fresh, and the quality was very good! Somehow the lamb was a little bitter, but quite satisfactory overall. The dish was very large and we were quite full but still asked for dessert. We had tiramisu cheesecake. OMG, this was almost the best cheesecake I ever had. It was amazing!!! I wanted to try some more desserts, but my stomach stopped me. Oh I forgot to say, the service was really good! The waitress was very warm-hearted, and super friendly. The atmosphere here was cozy and comfortable. Just a perfect ending to our 'red leaves' trip! Enjoyed it!

Excellent food..excellent service. A rare combination of sophisticated dinning and northwoods atmosphere If you are pinching pennies or looking for an all-you-can eat...don't go.

The best restaurant by far in the north woods. The service is wonderful, with excellent bartenders who are a lot of fun. Good quality fare in a beautiful setting. The restaurant has more of a suburban vibe than north woods, clean, modern and upscale. The food is consistently good with a great atmosphere, you will not be disappointed dining at Smokey's!

The service is top notch here. The food is also very good. The prices are a little higher than average, but it is well worth it. There is a lot of delicious food and my family all took part of the meals home (which the staff boxed up for us). The atmosphere is casual yet elegant. There is a pianist which was such a nice touch to the ambiance. I have two young boys and they too enjoyed the food and the ambiance. A good experience!! We were here in the fall of 2012.

This is currently one of the best places to eat up in the Northwoods. Great food and service.
