Spot In the Woods

Went there for a nostalgic blast from the past and had good food, friendly bartender and patrons. Hard to find. Go past the fairgrounds, cemetery. And golf course. On 17^th.

Great Friday fish fry as long as you are not looking to eat a lot of vegetables other than cole slaw and potatoes. Spot in the Woods is a bar out in the country, and I’m sure the food quality is a big surprise unless you are a local, which I’m not. The fish and shrimp combo has 3 fried shrimp, 2 pieces of fried cod, choice of potato (fries, potato pancakes, baked potato), cole slaw and a slice of homemade tasting bread and butter. Everything was very tasty and for $ 9.50, a bargain too. Cocktails are good and they have upscale liquor as well as the cheap stuff. We’ve had breakfast here too (8−11am). The corn beef hash is excellent. I saw on the menu they have Eggs Benedict ($ 6.50) on Thursdays only. We may try that out next time we are up in the woods.

I had to update this review, I was here back in November 2012 for a fishing weekend and we had to go to spot in the woods for dinner. Oh man this place never ceases to amaze me.
If I could remember what we all ordered it’d be great but I cant…
Highlights
–This place isn’t frequented by locals as much in the summer due to tourists. The winter time your going to look like an alien if you waltz in their on a Friday evening.
–Make sure you play the shuffleboard. Who even has shuffleboard nowadays? No one, so play it while you can.
The waitresses here are very nice, always willing to chat with ya and recommend one menu item over another.

This is a great hidden ‘spot in the woods’. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner and have daily specials. They also have weekly drawings so go in and get your name on the list!
Being from the chicago area i’m always so happy at the prices for drinks and food here. The bartenders and patrons are super friendly too. Most of the action is going on in the bar area, but watch out on sunday mornings after church, it gets really busy in the dining room.
This is a good solid place for a pizza or sandwich. Stop and say hi!
