Visiting Rice Lake for the first time to check out the area to see if we might find a vacation rental that would have us visiting annually. First day arrival and pretty hungry. We hoped to find a restaurant on the lake and to our surprise, there was only one. Hoots doesn't look like much, but we've always found places like this to have great food and friendly people so we gave it a try. We had our dog with us and were happy to find that we could find a shady spot outside at a picnic bench. There were other seats available in the back, but most were in the sun. They provided us with a bowl of water for our dog and I loved my Tequila Sunrise. Shout out to the bartender. We ordered the sausage pizza and again, I loved everything about it. The perfect cheese to sauce ratio. The people (employees/patrons) were friendly, warm and helpful. Would highly recommend.

I'm rating just 4 stars based on their pizza alone. Not an option for 1/2 star ratings otherwise I'd of given 4 1/2 stars for their pizza. Their pizza is GOOD! I'm not a drinker so can't give an honest review of their bar. Although, it seems the owner is there at all times, drunk and drinking up a lot of the profits himself!!!! Not the way to properly run a business IMO.....

Typical bar experience. Got a pizza to go. Service was good and you could tell it’s a local hang out. Friendly atmosphere and I would definitely go back

My husband and I were on a mission to find a place to get some pizza for lunch. After attempting several places, nothing was open until 4 which we thought was odd since it was a Sat. We saw this place was open and they had pizza so we figured we would give it a shot! The bartender was really nice and the pizza was a lot better than we expected! The interior could use some updates but overall, we had a good time and more importantly, we got our pizza!
