Ruffed Grouse Roadhouse

06/08/2026

It’s name your poison day at Ruffed Grouse RoadHouse today! 
Are you a:
🍺 Cold beer on the dock person?
🍷 Wine by the lake person?
🥃 Old fashioned by the campfire person?
🍹 "If it comes with an umbrella, I'm ordering it" person? Dual purpose on a rainy day like today. 
Stop in and tell us your poison. We promise not to judge. 😎
And since it's Monday, back to reality for some of us... but the fun doesn't have to end there.
🎱 Monday Night Bingo starts at 6 PM!
Enjoy your favorite drink with lunch or dinner, and don't forget—we've got off-sale options available too!

Alright, alright, alright... it's a beautiful Sunday at the lake! ☀️🌊
The wind might kick things up and bring some whitecaps to the water, but that just adds a little excitement to the day, doesn't it?

Last night was extra special as we celebrated one of our favorite regulars, the spectacular Laurie (Lauryl)!🎉🎂
A huge thank you to everyone who came out to help celebrate her birthday and make the night so memorable. Special thanks to the crew who pulled off the surprise of the year—Lauryl had absolutely no clue! Mission accomplished.
The smiles were priceless, and the memories will last a long time. That's what lake life and the Roadhouse family are all about.

Cheers to another beautiful day at Island Lake! 🍻🍻☀️

🐻 BEAR SIGHTING CONFIRMED 🐻

It seems like everyone in the North Woods has been posting bear sightings lately...

Well, we finally got one of our own. And naturally, ours had to be bigger. 😳

If you happen to spot this fella hanging around Ruffed Grouse Roadhouse today, don't panic. Rumor has it he's just here for delicious food, ice cold beer, and a front-row seat to another beautiful day by Island Lake.

Luckily for him, we're open. Breaking in seems like a lot of unnecessary work.🧸🍻

🚨 BIRTHDAY ALERT 🚨
We're pretty sure there was a memo sent around that a couple of our cool bartenders had to have birthdays this week.

Yesterday was Natalee's birthday.
Today is Kaci's birthday.
Coincidence? We think not. 🎂🍻

So if you stop into the Roadhouse this weekend, make sure to wish these two hardworking members of our Roadhouse crew a Happy Birthday!

While you're here...
🎯 Bingo
🍖 Meat Raffle
🍔 Scrumptious food
🍺 Fabulous drinks
🌲 A perfect Northwoods Friday by Island Lake

Whether you're a longtime regular or one of the many new faces we've been seeing lately, we're glad you're here. Pull up a chair, bring a friend, and let's kick off the weekend Roadhouse-style.

See you soon! 🍻

Somewhere between "I'm only having one" and "play that song again" is Ladies Night.
See you at 8.🍸🍻 Who are we kidding? We know you’ll be here earlier than that!

Have you ever counted how many times the word CHEESE appears on the Ruffed Grouse Roadhouse menu?
Go ahead. We'll wait.
The answer is...38 TIMES. That's not including the times our customers say: “Can I get extra cheese?"
