About

Backdraft BBQ at Gresham Lodge is a Northwoods restaurant that blends rustic lodge atmosphere with a more creative smokehouse and seafood menu than you usually find in the area. Tucked off the beaten path near Woodruff, it has that warm, welcoming supper-club feel, but the food goes well beyond the standard fish fry and burger lineup.

The menu focuses on smoked meats, seafood, and comfort food with a little personality. Guests regularly mention the brisket, pulled pork, ribs, wings, fish fry, loaded mac and cheese, and some of the more unexpected specials that make the place stand out. Friday’s all-you-can-eat ribs and fish fry has become a big draw, and the full bar plus house-made desserts round out the experience in a way that feels both relaxed and memorable.

What really seems to make the place click is the atmosphere and hospitality. Reviews consistently mention friendly owners, attentive service, and a family-friendly setting that feels comfortable whether you are stopping in for lunch, settling in for dinner, or lingering by the fireplace with a drink. For people looking for a true Northwoods lodge experience with food that is a step above the usual, Backdraft BBQ at Gresham Lodge clearly leaves an impression.
