Reviews for Paul Bunyan's Cook Shanty in Minocqua, WI

Their Facebook page indicates they're open from 7am-12pm. Super inaccurate. They seem to be closed indefinitely. That part I... understand due to current market conditions. What I can't understand is why you can't get them to admit that or post it anywhere(not even a sign on their front door). Their number seems to be disconnected. Why not at least have a voicemail tellingcustomers that you're closed? The "A" in "Shanty" is also falling off on one side of the sign. Overall the property just lookslike it hasn't been open or taken care of in months, if I had to guess. Pretty disappointing. Read more

We've been coming here for breakfast for 30+yrs with our family n friends. We love the tradition and the food n donuts are... always delicious! My only disappointment this year is they didn't have molasses cookies, and they make the best ones!!!! :( Read more

The family and I have been visiting Paul Bunyan?s for generations, always enjoying the ?lumberjack atmosphere? and great food... when we visit. The doughnuts are amazing (pictured) and one of the best staples of the morning family style breakfast.Personally, I also really enjoy the biscuits and gravy but the pancakes are consistently rubbery and tasteless. The servicewe?ve had has been excellent in the past and the entire crew seems to enjoy celebrating birthdays when they come up. The friedchicken family style dinner has a better (tastier) selection of food items compared to the breakfast but both meals will leaveyour tummy full when you are done. Prices for adults are a bit high but you are also paying for the experience and not just thefood and service. Overall, a 4star rating for this classic Northwoods eatery and tourist attraction.

I want one of thosedounuts yum... Read more

I cannot remember the last time I had a breakfast brought to my table that was so delicious and fun at the same time. The famous... Donuts lived up to all of the height. But beware you cannot eat very many or you will be so full Paul Bunyan himself cannotcarry you out. The fried potatoes were my absolute favorite. The scrambled eggs were very soft and I also enjoyed the biscuitsand gravy. I did not try the sausage but they do offer sausage links. They do not have bacon. There is a gift shop that you canwalk through on your way out and there is a big selection of unique items. Read more

Swing in and get a picture with Paul and Babe, then go inside, check out the swag, and stuff yourself. Love the all-you-can-eat... homestyle cooking: chicken, ribs, pasta, mashed potatoes, corn on the cob, salad, bread, and dessert, all delicious! We skippedthe coffee and had a Bloody Mary and Grapefruit Shandy instead. Very friendly staff, and prompt service. You won't bedisappointed Read more

Paul Bunyan's is a childhood favorite, completely unchanged, and I visit at least once during my October vacation, right before... they close for the season. You'll find yourself staring at a huge breakfast, so come hungry. The food is pretty good, though theeggs and potatoes could be nicer. It's a place built to serve crowds in the summer, so this is something I sort of expect. Thedoughnuts are outstanding, though. Hard to resist! After all these years, the gift shop is kept neat and clean. Bathrooms areancient and just okay, though nothing gross to worry about. Read more
