Just moved up here and decided to give the big Dipper a try... fantastic decision. I think my server's name was Brooke, and she was incredible. She was so kind, and had an extensive knowledge of the menu, which was so helpful when ordering. I got the Big Dipper Cheeseburger, which is a build your own burger, and it was incredible.

It looks and feels like it should: a northwoods bar/restaurant. Brooke was the bartender and you could really tell the entire staff from the bar backs and servers to the cook where working hard. They all did an excellent job. A few beers later we left with would be the best pizza I have had anywhere in WI in a long time! Thick cheese and the toppings were more than ample.
