What a amazing spot on Round Lake! Big, brand new restaurant/ bar, tons of outdoor seating, with unique tables that look like sections of a dock. Lots of yard games to play, ring toss, bags, and kids play area too. Outdoor bar and access to boat slips for boaters looking to grab a bite! Can’t beat the sunsets

We had a family gathering for my nephews birthday here during the week (about 25 people). Staff and owner were absolutely incredible hosts, attentive to the groups needs, and put out a fabulous burger and chicken sandwich spread (build your own) with sides. Staff was incredibly welcoming, professional, and fun. Yard games were appreciated for family and kids alike, and the food was top notch. Restaurant was clean and we were please to see that other customers were still able to dine in and enjoy the great menu as well, with no lack of service. Consistent service, food, and experience every time. This place doesn't disappoint.

It gets better every time we go! They added a walleye fish fry and it is fantastic - a huge filet. The new owners are doing a great job, especially given the difficulty finding reliable help these days. It was great to see it packed on Sunday. Our wait was short and I didn't see anyone else wait more than one drink. They added a big yard games area to play while you wait. Keep up the great work! We are excited to have this great place on our lake!

We were there for their 4th of July Event. We sat at the bar had couple drinks, listened to live music they had going, then took in the fireworks display over the lake. It was a very fun night!! Shout out to the Bartendar's at this restaurant, they were sooo good at what they did, respectful and really friendly towards everyone who came in. Would come back here to eat in a heartbeat and hope to catch this event again in the future!! THANKS FOR PUTTING THIS EVENT ON FOR THE COMMUNITY, MUCH APPRECIATE!!

I only have good things to say about Powell’s on Round Lake. As someone who has had a cabin next to this prime piece of land in Richardson Bay, we’ve been here through Famous Dave’s, Prop’s Landing, and now Powell’s. Powell’s takes the top spot (even without Dave’s cornbread). This place has great vibes, even better service (shoutout to Shane, Zach, and Pat!), and games!! I’m talking 301 Gotcha (darts), Keno and slot machines, pull tabs, the addicting coin game, etc. Also no one on this lake works harder than Heidi. I see her every time we’re there. She makes us feel so welcome every time she smiles our way. And they have West’s ice cream...I really hope Powell’s is here to stay! P.S. if you’re looking for a night cap on the lake with amazing White Russians, look no further. Have I even mentioned their gyro yet? And cheese curds! Idk how to end this review because I love everything about Powell’s. Highly recommend!! If you’re looking for a good time, look no further.

I was immediately greeted by Grace, the bartender/server. She was delightful! Helpful. Attentive. I love a good fish fry, but really wanted a burger. It was thick, juicy, medium rare. It was exactly what I wanted. The clam chowder was good, not great. The music didn’t fit my idea of up north lakeside restaurant, but I’m not a regular, I’m visiting, so let the regulars be happy. I had a fantastic experience, especially as I was coming in closer to closing time. Grace is an amazing asset to Powell’s and the fact they seem to feel the same way about her, speaks volumes of the owners. Highly recommend. I would definitely go back. ...need to try the fish fry. : ). Thank you, Grace and to Powell’s!
