Reviews for The Nutty Squirrel in Eagle River, WI
While in Eagle River for work, talked to a local to get the scoop on a good Friday fish fry. They recommended the Nutty... Squirrel. We laughed when he told us to get there at 330pm otherwise we'd be waiting close to an hour. We listened and by 329pma few locals where already there waiting. And not just in their cars. Like, lined up outside the restaurant/bar. We got in lineat 345 and luckily was seated at the last open table before the people behind us in line had to wait. But...people were stillhappy to stand or get a drink at the bar and wait for tables to open up! We got all you can eat perch. Came with Cole slaw,choice of potato, baked beans and bread. The fish were hefty size pieces. Lightly battered and absolutely fresh! The wait staffwas VERY friendly as well! Even upon walking in the bartender had certain drinks for certain regular locals already lined up onthe bar for them! Friendly staff, good food and priced well. It appeared there was outdoor seating available as well. Glad welistened to our local "neighbors" advice Read more
A true classic, Up north Bar! Great and super friendly staff, excellent food and proper beer/cocktails.
Really good Friday fish fry. Did carry out, you must go in, they don't take phone in orders. We had both the fried haddock and... the bluegill, perch platter. Nice light batter and great tasting fish. Will definitely go again when in the area. Read more
Very Friendly. Good Fish Fry. They were very busy. Due to good food. So be prepared to wait for a table.
Had my first Wisconsin sour old fashion here and it was great! Had broasted chicken with cole slaw, hand cut fries and a warm... breadstick. The chicken was very tasty and juicy. Good cole slaw. Wednesday is $2 burger nite. Saw many I rsering chicken andburgers. We will be coming back. Friday night gish fry is supposed to be excellent. Small bar with about 12 tables. Go early! Read more

Down-home atmosphere, great food with extremely generous portions, friendly staff that treats you like family, and great prices... for it all. A buddy and I stopped here after a long day of ice fishing, looking for a fish fry. We started off with baconwrapped jalapeno poppers (all they had to say was bacon wrapped). We were presented with three MASSIVE jalapeno peppers wrappedin meat candy, stuffed with cheeses, and friend to perfection. Then, the main course. Both of us went with the perch andbluegill platter, because Wisconsin Friday fish fry is a tradition. When our food arrived we were blown away! Two enormousplatters of food brimming with succulent fish and all the trimmings you could ask for. Amazing potato pancakes that require noapplesauce or syrup. Delicious slaw. You name it. I was comatose by the end of my meal, and all of it was so satisfying. If youwanna go where the locals hang out, where friendly faces abound, and where the food will blow your socks off with deliciousness,them you just can't go wrong with The Nutty Squirrel. Read more
Great place. Service was great. Food most of which is made in house was good. Not a big place so relax and have patience.
