White Stag Inn

"I drove up from Hickory NC to meet some local friends and do some grouse and duck hunting. In my travels, I asked a local to Rhinelander where is the best place to eat. They gladly told me about The White Stag, so I had dinner plans! Upon arrival they were super busy and I had to wait for a few minutes for a table. The staff was so overly attentive to my needs and very friendly. So much so that Tracy even discounted my drink, which was a special of the night, the Brewer Mule. It was AMAZING!!! Once I was sat at a table, Jessica was my waitress. She was phenomenal. She was so patient in explaining everything, as it was my first time and she was 10000% spot on. The salad and custom homemade dressings were to die for! The steak was cooked to absolute perfection and the mushrooms were a must have addition. To say it was fulfilling is an understatement. I learned that Tracy and Jessica were mother and daughter, with their husband and father as the grill master. This family has sustained the restaurant for over 70 years!! Wow!!! What a testament and winning combination. This was the best whole meal / dining experience I've had that I can recall. I highly recommend 100%. You Will Not Be disappointed. It was an honor to enjoy such an exquisite meal steeped in family value and resilience. Well done!!! "

"Had a Porterhouse Steak and my colleague the Pork Chops. Additiowe took a Shrimp skewer to share. We both liked the food and where happy. I think it's one of the few best choices in the area. The dressings for the salad where homemade and remarkable."

"Why have I not been here before!! Porterhouse steak was exceptional. Wedge said was more than enough. 3 house dressings all delicious. Cottage cheese whipped with chives amd seasoning was superb over the baked potato. The cornel brandy old fashioned sour was darn near perfect. Can't wait to get back. Maybe to tonight!"

"Ordered ribeye medium rare. It came more well done. Quality meat I think was so so. Charcoal flavor is Excellent. Cocktail was excellent. I think pricing is a little high. I understand it's a tough business. I'm sure they're trying their best."

"This supper club was recommended to us for a recent trip. I am giving 3 stars based on the total of each part. 4 stars - The bartender and my Makers OF Sour were excellent .5 stars - The salad course is a joke. It was a whole head of iceberg lettuce quartered and served with 3 "house" dressings. We sampled all 3 and found all of them rather bland. 5 stars - The steak made up for the salad course. Our tenderloins were perfect (2 rare,1 med rare). The char grilled mushrooms and onions were well worth the $14. The only complaint I have is that there is no sour cream for the baked potato. They serve a blended cottage cheese and chive mix as a healthier option despite our server added 1/4 of a stick of butter to each. Weird texture for me. Overall, the drinks and steaks are wonderful but the atmosphere and service (other than the bartender) was lacking. Personally for the price, there are other options to explore."

"My favorite entree is the smoked pork chops. Only a salad wedge with 3 homemade dressings (best when you mix all 3 and add blue cheese). Also they only have baked potatoes for side. Unique experience...GO! Must make reservations."

"Charcoal grilled steaks. You can really taste the charcoal. They do things simply and they do it well. You get a wedge salad with three choices of homemade dressings. You get a choice of potato. They have one dessert , ice cream sundaes. The bar opens at 4:00 p.m., cash only for the bar, and then they start seating at 4:30 p.m. I had the ribeye which was very good."
