Triggers Supper Club

A large group of us went out for Valentine’s Day dinner last night. After a scheduling snafu, which the upstairs Lodge waitstaff were extremely understanding of, we were placed downstairs at Triggers. Although a few of us were standing at the «Please Wait to be Seated» sign, there wasn’t a host and no one talked to us or asked if we needed a table.
Atmosphere is a typical hunting lodge bar/​grill. Attire ranged from dirty hunting clothes to jeans and sweatshirts — we definitely felt out of place in our formal attire, and all the girls commented how uncomfortable we were with all the overly rude stares from everyone in the restaurant.
Our waitress was fine but a bit rough around the edges; maybe hunters appreciate truck stop waitress-​type.
The best part was the food, although there’s room for improvement. We started with the Spinach Artichoke dip served with bread. Not my favorite appetizer. Smoked Prime Rib was the popular choice at the table, and it was delicious. Maybe a bit salty for some, but I tend to like saltier food. Myself and another one of the girls had the Stuffed Pork Chop. The bacon cornbread stuffing made it sweet compared to the salty chop. The other entrée ordered at the table was the Blacked Chicken Pasta which looked good, but nothing fancy or special to make it $ 18. The popovers probably would have been good had they been warm.
It was a nice night with good food. Now that I’ve read the raving review about their brunch, I’m intrigued to go back!

Gotta pull back one star. Brunch is not open in the summer, and regular menu food is not anything overly special.
I have had dinner and lunch here a couple times since my super solid brunch experience, and it is definitely not 5 star worthy. Food is good and better than most if not all other options in the area, just not 5 star. Burgers are very good. Elk nachos are not. Smoked prime rib is pretty good (too much salt on the crust). Pretzel appetizer was good, but the beer cheese sauce could use more cheese and less beer.
Keep the brunch open year round please???

Triggers is brand new and rebuilt. The room is very beautiful, but unfortunately, the noise level of the restaurant is ridiculous. A table of 4 cannot converse at all. Since no one can hear a thing, including the wait staff, the food orders have come out wrong the last 2 time we went there.
I sincerely hope they do something to resolve this problem. It is completely ruining the experience. In the past, The servers have always been friendly and efficient and the food was good. What a shame that a brand new facility was so poorly designed for it’s use.

Revised my review upwards. visited again in 2016 and they seem to have more sound buffers — noise level not so annoying as before. Had very good service and good food. The trigger burger is yummy.

Neat, north woods cabin feel with wildlife and fish mounts, wildlife and hunting paintings that screams testosterone overload.
This was a Groupon meal deal with skeet shooting.
There were two of us and we each ordered cokes so our waitress gave us two full glasses of coke and a full pitcher!
Everything looked good on the menu so I had the waitress surprise me with an elk burger served medium with mushrooms, cheddar cheese, blue cheese dressing and onion straws on top. This is their most wanted burger and I can see why.
Looked like they had a few dozen different bottle beers available and a full bar.
I’ll be back even if I don’t have to shoot clays and have a Groupon.
