Testimonials
Our Guest's Voices
At The Guide’s Inn, we take pride in providing an exceptional dining experience. But don’t just take our word for it — hear what our guests have to say!
It was the first night of the grand reopening. Chef Jesse and Rachel managed a full restaurant like seasoned professionals! The menu has some minor tweaks, but is 99% intact from the restaurant that we've all grown to love over decades. It'll take a little bit of time to get up to speed with both credit card machines, online reservations, and additional dinner specials, but everyone left the bar smiling and then the restaurant completely satisfied!! My extended family has been eating at the guides for over three decades, and there is nothing better than walking into a living memory. The sights, the sounds the smells all bring back feelings of a Time that is special and truly needs to be savored.
Carl Grygiel
In a small, quaint town of Boulder Junction, one can visit a well preserved Supper Club nestled off the beaten path in a beautiful log cabin. The ambiance may not seek like much, unless you can appreciate the history of a Wisconsin supper club and where they started and how long they've survived! The ambiance doesn't try to compete with modern, instead they hold on to tradition of charm. The chef is something to appreciate. There aren't many Michelin deserving restaurants in rural small towns. The food is incredible! You won't go wrong with the staples on the menu that have been passed down from generations past, but the flare of the news items are equally as delicious! The staff is eager to serve and are kind beyond need. This place is a must try!
