Had the meatball sandwich. It came with two 1 pound meatballs. Could only eat one. Was very good. Jumbo shrimp cocktail was also good. We had a deep dish pizza wings and an Italian beef sandwich. All were also very good. Had an order of calamari not very good needed to have been in the fryer a bit longer very chewy. Was a nice evening and we were able to sit outside which is a rare treat. Service was good we really had no complaints.

The fish fry was delicious! Two large pieces came on my plate along with a large baked potato with sour cream and butter. The salad bar was delicious, too, with a large variety of toppings including some of my favorites: shredded cheese, sliced, boiled egg, cucumber, broccoli, diced beets to name a few. The service was awesome. our waitress was very nice, friendly, and helpful. The ambiance was wonderful. There is a beautiful view of the water! The tables and chairs were comfortable; and looked new and stylish. We had a wonderful date night!

A true gem in the Northwoods!! What an amazing meal and wine! The owner made me a special dish not even on the menu! People... I'm telling you.... You will not find a more caring and connected owner/cook/table clearer anywhere in the world! (Ritchie will not stop for anything if there is work to be done) .. I am from Italian decent and am totally blessed to have this resturant so near to my cabin! Ritchie thank you again!! God Bless you and your staff always!!

Right on the Minong Flowage, you can dock your boat. Or drive your ATV. The food is great for being in Northern Wisconsin. The pizza is better than you can find in the Twin Cities. The place is usually packed and they are short staffed, expect to wait. The kitchen may close early, I recommend calling ahead to see what the wait time or if the kitchen is only serving certain items. A popular spot for night life. It's usually the place to go on the weekend.

Absolutely love this place. Good pizza, burgers and HUGE sandwiches. Some great looking Italian dinners that I haven't even tried yet, but only because I can barely get past their appetizers without being completely full. The Walleye Fingers are an every time order for me and yesterday I had the Jalapeños stuffed with cream cheese, crab & bacon.....AMAZING!! Just a few minutes off Hwy 53, but worth it.

Full disclosure - I love Pogo's. And I haven't always. For years I avoided this place. I won't say why, it isn't important. But this year I went back and I'll be honest. I was floored. Here's why: - For the Northwoods this food is fantastic! Good American-Italian, solid pizza, AWESOME meatballs (and huge), and great breads for their sandwhiches. - For the owner. Richie has come a long way. What a guy. Smiling, gracious, and thankful for those who offer him and his establishment the respect they deserve. He genuinely cares for his establishment and his patrons. - For the service. Again, for the Northwoods this is spot on. We were here TWICE over the 4th of July Weekend, and on both instances our service was prompt, proficient, and positive. Two different servers over those two visits, both great. - For the Price. Sure, for The Northwoods the price is probably 10-30% (depending on the item) higher than you'll see at the lowest places - but still better than the cities, and honestly for what you get I'll pay that every time. Pogo's is now my go-to place up here. As a local I have a lot of options - and I know the in's and out's of them. Pogo's will be top of my list as long as Richie keeps up his winning streak.
