Rockwoods Grill & Backwater Bar

Rockwoods Grill & Blackwater Bar Logo
Rockwoods adds a new chapter to the culinary heritage of North Woods restaurants, resorts, and dining halls. The menu, combining traditional favorites with contemporary preparations, guards tradition while building on it; the dining room and lounge evoke the past while incorporating all the amenities of the present. Whether you're attending a banquet, celebrating an anniversary, or simply stopping by for a bite, Rockwoods welcomes you into an environment that feels like the grand resort dining rooms of your youth, only…better, somehow. Warmer and more burnished, richer yet more relaxed.

Open a menu and right away you'll recognize that Rockwoods is a restaurant where the past is respected, yet risk-taking will be rewarded. Broiled walleye, pot roast, and other staples of the region share space with wood-fired sea scallops, wild mushroom Roquefort pasta, smoked black tiger shrimp, and a Flaming Top Sirloin. Everyday favorites like Walleye strips 'n Chips share space with special occasion indulgences like twin lobster tails. In addition to signature lunch and dinner offerings ranging from comfort food favorites to brick-oven pizzas, Rockwoods offers hearty North Woods breakfasts - the kind of fare that can sustain a fisherman all day long. The philosophy is simple: a menu that offers something for everyone -- and for everyone, something special, something beyond the ordinary. Whether it's the care that goes into the grilling of their Black Bay Salmon, the crackly crust of their wood-fired Pizza, or the two-handed heft of Rockwoods' burger.

For first-time visitors entering directly into the Back Water Bar, discomfort melts away like ice cream in a Brandy Alexander, replaced by a woodsy warmth and a beckoning bartender. It's a place to drop in for a Bud and a Bacon Burger, or a sanctuary for sipping single malt Scotch. Whether you live down the road or are visiting from across the country, here in the Back Water everyone's welcome, and nobody's a stranger.

Which raises the question: How does Rockwoods appear out of nowhere, yet feel so familiar? How can a staff combine everyday friendliness with special-occasion service? And how did they find a bartender whose Perfect Manhattan is eclipsed only by his perfect Mojito? Tough questions, sure, but none so vexing as "How can I possibly decide what to order?"
