Sweet Water Spirits And Resort

Stopped here because it was close to the campground we are staying at. Nice bar area with a great view of the Eagle Lake.Has an outdoor deck and an covered patio with garage doors opening onto the outdoors and lake. Good selection of beers. Hubs had the Club Sandwich with fries. Hard to screw that up. I decided on the chicken wings which was a mistake. The sauces are not listed with the wings, but above the appetizer section and aren't specified as wing sauces. Under the Wings section are two columns: Reg (Regular), and Hot. On the left is a column of serving sizes such as 10, 20, 50. The difference between regular and hot was $5 for 10 wings and scaled up from there. Turns out, the wings were breaded, but the menu didn't state they were. I told the waitress I'd have 10 regular with Franks. She asked if I wanted sauce on the side, or the wings shaken in sauce I chose shaken. Turns out they don't have naked wings, they're all breaded, and they charge $5 to coat the wings rather than serving sauce on the side. Very confusing. I brought it all to their attention and was given 1/2 off the wings. I won't go there again.

I get it, summertime at this place is rough its busy its crowded I get it. Our food order was totally wrong and it was a long wait to get the totally wrong food. I think the biggest off-putting thing was smokers were on the balcony where you eat. I wish someone would reinforce asking them to step away from where people are eating. I was pregnant at the time and really did not appreciate being so close to that in general nor while eating.

Food good and very friendly place lots of people gather here definitely a hot spot in eagle river

Updated 8/10: while my below review was true and the service that day was awful, the manager made things right. He apologized after reading this review for being so under staffed. He is the reason I will 100% be going back next time I'm in the area. He offered a way to make the experience better and invite us in for another shot. I'm very excited to give them another chance, because besides the mishaps, the food really would have had amazing taste and flavor So I'm giving two stars because the food would have potential to be good. We were there for over two and a half hours waiting on our food. Never got refills or even checked on at any point. When the food did finally come it was ice cold. No joke. Had to be sitting out for easily 40 minutes before being served. It COULD have been good if it was warm or if we didn't waste our entire night waiting on food and drinks. Not to mention the bartender having no idea how to make ANY of their drinks on the drink

These people are great. Food was great. Waitress friendly and attentive, but yelp is giving you a $5 coupon you are suppose to show the workers here and they know nothing about yelp offering this 5 bucks. What's up with this yelp. Something new you are trying ? It would be nice if you got the businesses you represent and show reviews about, permission to offer this.
