7 days later and another post about Herbies. We ate in tonight. By 4:30 it was standing room only. Nice to see. Food was great as always.
My wife had never been anywhere that you had to stand around at a bar drinking a cocktail or three before being seated to eat until I took her to some WI supperclubs. Herbies isn't quite that, but it's as close as you're gonna get around here.

I was going to start another thread about "best bars" but figured with the (lack of) volume here it would just get lost.
The best bar in my general area is the Burtrum Cabooze. They have some bar food, but the place is a....bar...and they do it well. As a person who lived for 47+ years in Wisconsin...I know what bars are supposed to be. Mick and Tina do it right at the Cabooze.

The skewers consist of a ham sandwich, meat stick, celery stick, hard boiled egg, olives, onions, and other condiments. Pretty crazy the volume this tiny little bar in the middle of nowhere deals with. A well managed place brings in the people.

Lots of lake people there this weekend, and most summer weekends. Most of the time the locals and the people "not from here" get along very well. It is a bit comical looking at the difference in attire

Had a cream cheese, green olive burger at the Bowling Barn in Osakis today. Very, very good. We've been there well over a dozen times and it's always good. I think I've had every burger on their menu.

Olives are one of the few foods I won't eat.
Are the olives in the burger or on it?

Here's a where not to eat...The Polish Palace in Sobieski. MoBuck and I have met there twice in the past and the burgers were not bad. A guy from Swanville and a partner bought the place a few weeks ago. We figured we'd go and support the place today. That was a mistake. I hope they get shit figured out in a hurry.

Had a deep fried, marinated pork loin sandwich and homemade potato salad tonight. We go to the Burtrum Cabooze most summer Thursdays so we can have chow from the food truck (Fryer Roe's). Really good. I imagine my upcoming annual physical will result in yet another recommendation for a statin.
