"I have eaten at a lot of restaurants during my Wisconsin stay in many different cities. These smash burgers are the absolute best I have had here. I would have gladly paid $20 per burger, they are that good! The good news is that on Mondays they are only $5, but be prepared to wait, it gets packed!"

"We went for the seafood boil over Labor Day Weekend. We'd never been to Pine Cove before but the food sounded good so we made the drive. The place was busy and bustling. Lots of out-of-state people have campsites here and or close by. The Seafood Boil was $15. For that you received a piece of small corn, a few potatoes, about 5 medium shrimp, 3 whole crawfish, and a few super tiny mussels. All and all it was pretty good. Glad I didn't pay more. We were sitting outside at a picnic table. Some out of town and local folks joined us. Lots of nice conversations! We will go back to try their regular food."

"This is top 3 of best burgers in our area! Small bar with the, juiciest, most flavorful, cheesiest burgers. They are made to order. Fries were perfect and hot. We would definitely drive an hour for one of these. Staff were friendly, and tables were clean, even though they were busy. We will be back!"

"This is the greatest little bar on Castle Rock Lake! It’s a year round bar and grill, but in the summer they have music and karaoke. And if you haven’t had a Smashburger, you just haven’t begun to live!"
