Great food and great specials. I prefer to dine outside when I can. Street parking is usually easy and don’t have to walk far. Service is good. Hosts are nice and we usually get the same gentleman server. He can remember your order off the tip of his head and is very nice. Recommend this place!

Nice place, food was a mixed bag. The bartender/server was really nice.

We got their fall drinks and were surprised at how little apple cider flavor they had, so ordered a little extra. Turns out they’re either using apple juice or the lightest cider ever. We ended up not being able to finish either drink.

Apple cider old fashioned: ⭐⭐⭐ not bad, just way, way too sweet. Couldn’t taste anything but the simple syrup
Apple cider margarita: ⭐ No apple flavor at all, just simple syrup and orange liqueur

Chips and dip: ⭐⭐⭐ Chips were good. The dip was good too, but nothing crazy. Just a generic cream cheese / sour cream with a touch of onion

Mustache chicken: ⭐⭐⭐ This one was interesting. First, the flavor is a 5. Really good. Weirdly enough, I had virtually no chicken (check the pics). It’s not like they forgot it, they had 2 pieces in there, each the size of a cashew.

It’s very watery and oily too, so be aware that you’re going to have a bowl of oil in the dish after

Wonderful establishment!!!! This is truly a hidden treasure. We went on a Thursday evening, and it was pretty busy. We were able to get a table immediately. We had a wonderful waitress who provided her favorites which really helped us choose our dinner. We had the buffalo cauliflower bites, hummus with vegetables, salmon salad and buffalo fried chicken salad. Everything was amazing! The hummus is house made. You can’t beat that., . .

I enjoy the bay from time to time for a great drink!! The food I’m not too much of a fan of. I ordered a po boy and to my surprise the shrimp wasn’t fried I still ate it as I ordered it but wouldn’t order it again. My regular item is the chips and dip.

“Ok” is the best way to describe The Bay.

The service is nice enough but the actual food doesn’t have anything especially good or bad. They will ask you what temp you want the burger for it to come out medium-well. There’s some fun ideas like the Anju burger but its ultimately not far from a Culver’s burger which is arguably better. The Cubano is will fill you up with a healthy serving of pulled pork but no discernible marinade – other than salt.

The only definite negative was the soup – the tomato basil soup tasted like it was straight out of a jar of Prego.

For the price, “ok” but there’s something left to be desired.

The outdoor seating is nice. The food peaked around “okay”. The fries were cold inside, not because they were sitting around but just nearly uncooked. Buffalo cauliflower used to be worth the price of admission but we left most of it uneaten. Wings were flaccid and pretty gross. Burger was…a burger, you can get a better burger from dozens of places.

For the price, there are so many better options. We liked coming here once in a while but we all agreed it wasn’t worth coming beck in the future.

I was a little disappointed with my first visit to The Bay. The service was great, the atmosphere nothing special at all.

I ordered a Chicken Ceasar Salad and my mother ordered the Short Rib appetizer as her meal. The chicken on the salad was ok, it was moist and cooked well but no flavor at all. The lettuce was fresh. The dressing again sort of bland. My mom liked the sauce on the ribs but said they were very hard to eat. A lot of bone and gristle (?) on the ribs, not a lot of meat. The iced tea was delicious.

I’ll give it another try, just won’t order a salad.

Big fan of this place. Nice to have a hip local bar right downtown Whitefish Bay in the north shore. There is a great outdoor patio for when the weather is good. Nice variety of menu items. The Bay Burger is a classic. Feel good place to go as well since the owners are very active in the community.

Y’all know I like to taste good food. This place delivered. Drinks were amazing and my sweet potato burger hit the spot. Sometimes it’s hard to find a place that offers a good lighter meal. This place has choices and I appreciate that.

Considering there were only three tables the service was very slow. The servers needed to finish their obviously important conversations before we were even greeted. At least five mins passed before we were even greeted by our server. She rushed us through ordering and made us feel like we shouldn’t be there. I ordered the Philly cheesesteak sandwich with fries. They put mayo on the sandwich which I personally thought was nasty. (My fault for not reading the details on the menu). The salt and pepper shakers were clogged and she brought us an almost empty ketchup bottle. The atmosphere was really nice, but the overall experience was very off putting.
