I applaud the new owners and wish them luck in these challenging times.

Just wanted to point out that you did pretty much the same thing back in 2010 when you posted a negative review of O. Was that review fishy?

Actually; the O review was my third post. About a week after my first.

She actually raved about the Tamarack's "free pizza" and Tavern 27's "free lobster" Like my dad used to say, "It always tastes a sooo much better when it's free" !!

Please give any new restaurant a chance.
They did a tremendous amount of work before opening.
I once had a to-go crab/lobster cake in a burger bun. The cake overflowed the large sized bun, meaning portions are fine. At the bar, diners had large meat burgers, both lunch and evenings.

I have verbally heard lots of very positive comments, and a few negative. They have had crowds. I've seen specials on their sidewalk board.
Posted restaurants will vary; give it a break!

They have a menu online via Facebook.

What kind a place is it? They call it a sports bar, but they have a big kids section on the menu.

Looks like some good lunch stuff sandwhiches and burgers, plus some entrees.

Someone starting this post asked about this restaurant and someone else posted their opinion. Lately some people get upset if anything negative is said about a place, questioning a person's motives. On the other hand, I have seen situations where a positive reviewer is suspected of having a connection to a restaurant. Can't people be free to post their views and let intelligent people decide for themselves whether they want to try the restaurant or not?

I think JanN makes a good point.There is always the risk that friends or family will crucify a competitor unfairly,or a disgruntled or fired employee might start a negative thread....and I've seen that happen more than once.
As an operator,I've had some unflattering posts,but some of them were justified and I was able to act on them.I might not have known otherwise and ,while it hurts to get beat up,they can be helpful.
Anyway,I vote to let it rip and let intelligent people decide for themselves.
I also think it's fair for forum members to question the authenticity of critcal or overly glowing posts........ seem to remember that Don once caught a member with multiple screen names making lots of posts praising himself.

Been coming up the lake all my life. Where is the old Ken Barry's/new Frog Rock? I think when a restaurant is reviewed the address or the actual link to the web site would be nice since not everyone that views these messages lives here or has all the past locations memorized.

We were very happy with our first meal that we got from there tonight. Even happier with how little it cost. Will go back again for sure..
