A few weeks ago a friend of mine and I met at Bugsy's for Pizza on a Thursday night. Bugsy's has recently undergone a bit of a change - they've moved out most of the pool tables, and opened up most of that previous pool area for actual seated dining. Menus, waitress and all! They have also extensively changed up their menu, and added all kinds of new things. I really suggest anybody who hasnt been there in awhile go check it out. It was a nice change, and fun to be able to watch people walking by out the window as we ate. The pizza was good, as usual!

Holiday Acres, Rhinelander
We ate at Holiday Acres this past Saturday night. We havent been there in over a year I think. Here's a link:
http://holidayacres.com/3coins.html
It is sorta way out in the boonies of Rhinelander, and is a resort, so there are large groups usually eating there, also it is on the snowmobile trail and popular with them.
The service we got was very good, and we really enjoyed the cute little crispy breadsticks with cheese spread. Our bread & salad were both very good as well - we really liked the cranberry vinegrette and the bread was YUMMY with some sort of garlic butter on top! Plus it was warm.
Then it happened. The wait. We waited, and waited...and waited. We looked around, and the other 5 or so tables were ALSO waiting, or eating a salad...We were concerned. It took MUCH too long to get our entree. When it finally did arrive, we were very impressed with the presentation of our meals. Everything was very tasty as well. I had the smoked pork chop (not normal for me, but I dont care for much on their menu) and really enjoyed it. It came with this chipotle sauce that was great. Kevin got the filet with shrimp. He figured the shrimp were microwaved, but tasted okay. The filet however was very good, well cooked and flavorful.
However, the wait, and limited menu for me, makes this a place we wont visit again soon.

Crimson Cafe, Rhinelander
I got a salad from the "Crimson Cafe" yesterday for lunch. It was VERY good. They also have a variety of intersting Panini sandwiches, and feature soups as well.
This is a tiny little place that is somewhere across from like the bridal store, and Arby's area, in those little businesses that are also houses, etc. ? If you are heading out of town towards Kohl's, this would be on the right. You have to take a quick right, then another right to head down an alley, and park behind the house. Sorta strange, but I recommend it! There were about 8 small tables inside, and almost half of them were full.
It is also a coffee shop...and the sign said lunch is served 11-2 Mon-Sat.

Kid's Corner Soup!
Yesterday was at Kid's Corner in Rhinelander again for what has become my Friday lunch....Today they had a Tomato Bisque soup, which sounded good so I got it. WOW! Talk about delicious! I am now very excited to try some of their other soup. I wonder if it is homemade. It was very very very delicious. Highly recommended!
Added: Lasagna Soup - TO DIE FOR!

Kid's Corner Subs
I used to eat at Subway about once a week, but got irritated by little things here and there, and the prices just seemed to go up & up & up. So, I decided to scope out one of the local sub shops in Rhinelander - Kid's Corner.
I am EXTREMELY happy with the subs I get there. Generally I get a 6" whole wheat Packer sub. It has 3 kinds of meat, and whatever else I want. I LOVE their bread. It is super soft and just overall yummy. On top of that, they have a very tasty "house dressing" I get on my sub that I love as well. The BEST PART is that this sub is like, $3.50!!!!! It's so cheap I can hardly stand it. I could get a 12" for the same price as a Subway 6"!!!
Kid's Corner also has pizza, and various other items. I get some fancy cheese from here as well when I make mac 'n cheese...it's reasonalbly priced and you can get just a small amount.
I highly recommend Kid's Corner!

The BOOTH List at the Pub
We went to the Rhinelander Cafe & Pub Friday night like we have every Friday for nearly the past 2 years. We were told the wait was 30 minutes, which was a bit long, but we didnt want to go anywhere else so we sat at the bar and drank and waited. Finally we got our table and as the hostess was directing us to it, I saw somebody clearing out a nicely positioned booth, away from all the traffic, etc. So I said, "Oh, could we sit over there?" and pointed at the booth. The hostess informed me that she would have to see who was on the "Booth list" first, and if there were people ahead of us then no we could not sit there.
Let me tell you - there were very few people left in this restaraunt who had been there longer than us!!! I complained a bit, noting how were we supposed to know about the "Booth List" and that we had been here as long as anybody else, why cant we sit where a table is cleared! It was to no avail, so I accepted the moderate table. But I was annoyed the whole time we were there.
So, if you go to the Pub, you better as to get on the Booth List!

Friendship House for Breakfast
This past weekend we decided to have a late breakfast, and opted for the "Friendship House" which is over by Shopko. This same restaraunt started as a Wendy's which didnt make it, and then a Mexian place, which also didnt make it. Friendship House seems to be doing okay and might stick.
We had eaten a lunch here awhile back, and were NOT impressed, although they have an extensive menu. The meal just wanst memorable. The place reminds me of your normal sorta "family" type restraunt like Bob Evans, etc.
A few months ago we decided to have breakfast here, because we were sick of all the other places and decided to risk it. We enjoyed it very much. The service was good enough, and meal was quick. I had "Blueberry Fritter French Toast" which I loved very much. Kevin had some sort of breakfast sandwich. They refill your coffee & water constantly.
This time, I had the same thing, and Kevin had some general eggs, toast, meat, pancake type deal. He did not enjoy his at all - it was just kinda bland & eggs not cooked well. I got the same french toast I did the last time, and still loved it.
Overall, I guess it works in a pinch. It's nothing special, that is for sure. Good for families, as we saw lots of those, and older people as well. The food is middle-of-the-road, but there are certainly an abundance of choices.
