The Wyld at Elk Ridge Resort

Nice place to eat. Have an excellent Elk Burger on the menu. The beer us always cold. Ha ha.

Decent atmosphere, friendly staff, food was okay, but extremely slow service and they screwed up our order and forgot to put a pizza in. Had to get the pizza to go and very long wait to get service and put our order in. Pop machine ran out of CO2 and had to send back the coke as it was flat and undrinkable. Server tried his best and did give us a discount on the order which was appreciated.

We enjoyed our meal there last Sunday. The veg pizza was delicious in taste and was so big in size (it had 14 slices and was sufficient for 3 people). The veg salad had interesting flavour. Also ordered Mediterranean wrap which we couldn't finish there so brought that home and it was yummy too!

Pricing was not too high. Ambience was nice. Service was good. Staff was courteous.

The only thing that could have been better that evening was the mosquitoes outside that couldn't let us enjoy our food comfortably!

Situated within the beautiful surroundings! The waskesiu lake is around 5 minutes drive farther away from this place.

Overall it's a great place to visit and worth trying!

I don’t usually write reviews but this was especially bad. Day of, they cancelled our reservation for 7 people as they do not take reservations for less than 8. Fine, we decided to come an hour earlier to make sure we could get a table which we did. Service was incredibly slow. 20 minutes to get drinks, 50 minutes to finally get our food orders in. We’d been there for over 90 minutes by the time we got our food, which was overpriced for the small portions offered. The Walleye dish is advertised to come with peas but arrived without. When asked about it, server blamed it on a “printing error” and offered no price comp. The tartar sauce was flavourless and there was way too much breading on the skimpy pieces of fish. Several of us requested our fries be upgraded to the special garlic rosemary ones, and this was applied to all of us at $3.00 extra each. And the amount of fries you get is equivalent to a kids fry from McDonald’s. We were there for a total of 3 hours with only two rounds of drinks plus entrees (no appys or desserts). I want to cut our server some slack as he was clearly overwhelmed with too many tables and it seemed he was making all the cocktails himself. There was maybe 2 servers for the entire restaurant. This place needs more staff as the food wasn’t great but the service was the worst part. Don’t come hungry as you’ll be waiting a while.

Lots to choose from if gluten intolerant. Service is very slow. My BLT came with burnt bacon. Not crispy but black. I would have returned it if I hadn’t waited 40 minutes.

We dined at The Wyld two nights while we were staying at the resort. It’s great to have good dining and entertainment within the complex. The first night we dined, there was an excellent acoustic duo. Between the two days, we tried the elk burger, steak sandwich, blanco pizza and local walleye. The elk burger was our fav! It’s so tender and savory. You can’t go wrong with the pizzas, too. The Blanco Pizza was a home run. We also tried the quinoa and greens salad which is a delicious accompaniment to the meal. For drinks, we tried a few of the local IPAs and shared a few bottles of Joel Gott Zinfandel 2019. They have a great selection available. Our server both nights was Jen and she was the best. She even asked me my name which rarely happens when I dine. She made many suggestions for food and drink when I asked and was very attentive on service even Kern it being very busy. We return in two weeks and I can’t wait to try more dishes!

The service was a bit slow but good. My complaints are mostly with the food. I work in a cafe with exceptional flavour profiles so maybe that’s to blame, but I was a bit underwhelmed with the food. I got the forest chicken sandwich and it was tasty but there was not nearly enough sauce on the sandwich. When you see “balsamic fig jam” and “whipped ricotta mousse” on the menu you expect to taste those elements but I couldn’t taste anything over the spice on the chicken. Looking at the sandwich the ricotta and fig jam was barely smeared on the bread. It was tasty for sure, but definitely not what I was expecting based on what the menu stated. My SO got the Buffalo chicken wrap and also enjoyed it but could not taste the Buffalo since there was hardly any sauce on it. Decent meal overall but if you advertise ingredients you should be able to taste them in your meal.
