What an awesome diamond in the rough, so glad my husband decided to come up here to race at Hill Fest in the Hill Drags. We came in the afternoon before the races to check in for racing. The Burnt Onion was such a gem! And the bartender Briita was GREAT. Very friendly, welcoming, and personable!! We had drinks for the most part and Briita was so attentative. We did also order Onion Peels and Burnt Onion Soup. Both delicious! DEFINITELY would recommend to check it out yourself! Beautiful establishment with wonderful friendly staff. 5⭐'s hands down!

The “Burnt Onion” restaurant is more of a “Fancy Ski Resort Food” restaurant. Because, the food here is really delicious and delicate, especially the cheeseburger, or “Burnt Onion Burger”. The meat is tender and Smokey with the crispy potato fries. The service here was kind and generous, and the location itself is the golden star. Would recommend to eat here after ski’ing a while!

Great experiences 4 years in a row! Nice menu variety and the food is delicious . Check out the chophouse menu after 4 PM. The staff is very friendly with great attention to detail! Highly recommend this place, it is not your typical Midwest Food joint. Try it out you won’t be disappointed.

We visited Burnt Onion Kitchen & Brews for the first time last night, and it was fantastic.I had the Greek salad, which is always one of my favorites. The portion was huge and packed with all the good stuff: cucumbers, tomatoes, Kalamata olives, feta cheese, and just a little bit of lettuce. Exactly the kind of salad I love. So good! You can really tell they put in the effort to make sure your experience is top-notch. We started with the walleye cakes, which were delicious, then had the burger and a club sandwich, both served with some insanely good fries and a magical onion dip. The menu has a great variety, and the view is just perfect. The service, atmosphere, and food were all spot on. Everything was absolutely amazing. The onion soup is truly to die for. I’d definitely come back again. Honestly, I'm surprised this place isn't busier. 10 out of 10!

We were really surprised to find such a meal on the menu. I had the lamb shank and it was really close to perfect. The veggies needed a bit longer to be tinder. Overall was pretty impressed with the presentation and ambiance.
